I had no idea when someone had last gotten the drop on Spencer, so the fact that the tiny omega he was obsessed with had managed it was the icing on the cake. None of us would let him live that one down for at least a month.
Chase:
And to think, Bear is ordering her an even better taser.
Spencer:
Do you think that’s a good idea? She may use it on me.
Bear:
If she uses it on you, I have no doubt you deserved it.
Spencer:
Oh, sure. You get one bite mark, and now loyalty means nothing.
Bear:
I would have cheered about Flora tasering you long before the bond.
I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from laughing out loud. Flora had brought out the sassy side of Bear, and I was so here for it. Not least because it annoyed Spencer so much.
When class ended, Flora made a beeline for me. “Home?” she asked excitedly.
“Don’t you have any tutoring to do?”
She shook her head. “Nope! I could do with going to thelibrary to pick up a book or two, but honestly, I just want to go home and snuggle. One class, and I'm already exhausted.”
I chuckled. “That’ll be the heat. They take a while to recover from. We’ll head home and stop by the library on the way. Though I'm pretty sure Bear has been at the university bookstore today.”
“Why?”
“So you can study at home.”
A smile spread across Flora's face. “He’s too good to me.” She sighed, pulling out her phone as I took her bag off her shoulder. “I've got so much to do, I’ve fallen behind inallmy classes. I need to catch up with everything.”
“You were only out for a week. Surely you didn’t missthatmuch? I know college can be intense, but geez.”
“I’ve only attended one week out of the last three,” she pointed out as we walked. “I missed a week when my apartment was first broken into, attended for a week, and then took a week off for my heat. Before long, finals will be here.”
“Shit. I hadn’t thought of that. Well, what can we do to help?”
“You’re already doing everything. Bear getting me textbooks will help so much. I should be doing something to thank you guys. I don't suppose you need a bookkeeper for your security business?” She asked the question with her nose scrunched, her face rumpled.
“You and Spencer are going to be hilarious during tax season. Do you really think the control freak letsanyoneelse near paperwork?”
“Ha! He’s welcome to do it. I thought I would just offer,” she said sweetly. “I don’t want to be useless.”
“Trust me, honeybee, you’re not useless in the slightest. Infact, you’re the best thing that’s happened to our pack in a long time.”
Her beaming grin was worth any hoops we had to jump through to make sure she was safe.
“Hey… Chase?” she said after a moment’s walking.
“Yeah?” Flora paused, chewing on her lip, and I could smell her scent twinging with something dark.
“Spit it out, honeybee.”
