“Okay.” She sighed as he continued to stroke the back of her neck.
There was a knock on the door. I stood. “There’s lunch.”
I went over to the front door. Signing for our food, I pushed the cart into the kitchen and put out the food as Brennan just sat there, holding her.
That was too fucking cute.
While some of our fantasies would probably always remain just that, I think we both needed Grace in our lives. Her gentleness evened us out a little. Also, now I really wanted to hear her call Brennan a good boy–he needed reminding of that now and then.
“I just got us all burgers, since sadly the hotel’s spicy noodles are not up to expectations.” I uncovered the plates. Burger with fries for me–onion rings for those two.
“Thank you.” Grace didn’t move from Brennan’s lap.
Like most alphas, he seemed to have the ability to fully function with someone on his lap–even someone the size of Evan.
“If you have work to do, I can wait a little bit before we go back. I have a bunch of things to synthesize from the conference and send to my co-worker.” Grace shoved an onion ring in her mouth.
“I just need a little bit of time to deal with some things with the lawyers. It won’t take too long,” Brennan assured her.
“Okay.”
I wasn’t sure if they were Queen Mum things, work things, estate things, or Grace things. The nurse that locked her in the room had been fired and was going to the Nursing Review Board. Katie was having a great time going after the hospital.
“Peaches, later, if you’d like, I’ll get everyone out of the hospital–even Wes–so that you can spend some time with Spencer.” I bit into my burger.
“Really?” Her eyes lit up.
Yep. I knew it.
“Really,” I assured. “Bren, should we take everyone out for a nice dinner or something?”
“Spencer took me on a sunset dinner cruise. What about that–or maybe sunset whale watching? Are there whales here?” Grace took a drink of beer.
“Sunset whale watching followed by dinner sounds like an excellent idea. There are humpbacks here,” Brennan said. “We’ll bring food back for you.”
“That sounds good. I’ll book something after we finish eating,” I told them.
Yeah, I’d absolutely go whale watching so that Grace could have some hospital sex with Spencer. After all, that’s what packs were for.
And I was glad that she was part of this one.
Chapter Seven
Grace
“Have fun.” I waved at everyone as they left the hospital room, as I lay on Spencer.
“Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?” Wes frowned at me.
I shook my head. “I’m exhausted. Bring me dinner?”
“Of course. Spence, we’ll bring you food, too.” Wes kissed me. “If you need me, call me.”
“I’ll be okay,” I reassured him. They were going on a sunset whale watching tour, followed by dinner at a waterfront restaurant that Brennan wanted to try.
“We’ll be fine.” Spencer wrapped an arm around me.
He looked so much better now and had even asked me to bring his laptop so that he could get caught up on a few things. I knew he’d been answering emails on his phone and making phone calls…
