“Damn. How much have you written? Can I have it yet?”
She throws her head back and laughs, but I don’t know why. I’m not kidding.
“Wait until I’m done, and I’ll give you the first copy.”
“Really?”
“Heck yes.”
“Okay, then, I think our talk here is done. Go do some work. Chop chop, time’s wasting.”

People look our way when we walk back in. I avoid people’s gazes, only wanting one man’s eyes on me.
“You’ve got it bad,” my sister whispers in my ear.
“You have no room to talk.”
“Touche.”
She links her arm through mine and leads us over to the table where the guys are sitting. She lets go of me and walks around the table to plonk her ass down on Havoc’s lap. He grins before kissing her in a way that has me blushing. I look away, catching Ambros’s eye. He shakes his head, smiling at how uncomfortable I look. I shove him lightly, but he uses that opening to pull me into his lap.
I look over to see Nevaeh watching us with a smile on her face.
“Does this mean we can join you too?” Legs asks, walking over to Midas. She bends down and presses a kiss to Hero’s head before running her fingers through Midas’s hair. He tips his head back and grins at her.
“You could have come over at any time. I prefer your company anyway,” Midas answers, making Havoc huff.
“I see how it is.”
I offer Delphi a small smile when she takes the chair between me and Kruger.
“Hey Citi, it’s good to see you again.”
“You too. Thanks for letting Theo come sit with Star. She adores him.”
“The feelings mutual, trust me. However, I dread to think about what they’ll get up to. She has him wrapped around her finger.”
“She’s not the only guy here who has fallen for her charms,” Havoc says with a grin.
“God help me when she’s a teenager.” All of the men suddenly turn serious, all looking at me with a slightly horrified expression, making the women around me crack up.
“Well, dating is going to be fun for her.” Delphi chuckles, making Ambros groan.
“Don’t say the d word, I’m not ready.”
“I think we have a few years yet before you need to worry,” I reassure him with a pat.
He grumbles something but lets it go.
“Last I heard, they were making a fort,” I tell Delphi, pulling out my cell phone to show her the photo Con sent me of him and Star.
“Oh, adorable.”
“Right? Star looks cute, too.”
Ambros growls, making me and Delphi laugh.
