she
smiled, her eyes alight.
“How long have you two been together?”
I asked as the guys started talking shop.
“Five years,” she told me.
“Wow with how smitten you two seem I
would think it would have been mere months,” I said with a laugh.
“We’re lucky,” she said. “Though I’ll
tell you, all these guys, they get a girl and that’s it, or so it would seem,”
she added.
I tilted my head, beyond interested in
what she was saying.
“They play the field and fuck anything
that walks, but once they settle, they settle ,”
she said with a wink.
“Has Cole, um settled before to your
knowledge?” I asked.
She shook her head. “You’re the talk
of the town,” she replied.
I wasn’t quite sure how to feel about
that. Cole pulled me back down on his lap and I focused on finishing my beer
instead.
“Scar, there you are!” Kat exclaimed,
finding us outside. “Can I steal her for a bit Cole?” she asked.
He nodded, “I suppose. Don’t get into
any trouble,” he said, kissing me solidly.
“Wouldn’t dream of it,” I said,
winking at him.
Kat took my hand and led me back into
the house where we got another beer.
“What’s up?” I asked.
“Sal is being weird,” she muttered.
“Weird?” I asked as she pulled me to
the relatively empty living room and onto the couch.
“Standoffish,” she sighed.
I’d been afraid of that and knew she
had been too.
“Oh sweetie, I’m sorry,” I said
sympathetically.
“Ugh, I shouldn’t have slept with him
so soon,” she groaned. “I never do
that, but I couldn’t seem to help it!” she lamented.
“You went with your instincts and you
had fun right?”
She nodded.
“He might come around. For now I’d
just give him his space, make him come to you. If he knows what’s good for him,
he will,” I said firmly.
“What’s going on ladies?” Connie
asked, plopping on the couch next to us.
Kat took a moment to fill her in.
Connie waved her hand dismissively.
“Sal’s just weird like that. I wouldn’t read much into it.”
“Yeah well I’m not into being treated
like a pariah after I sleep with a guy,” Kat muttered.
“I hear you,” Connie agreed. “Wes was
a bit like that at first,” she confided. I found that hard to believe with how
much he clearly doted on her now. “I think some of these tough guys are just
like that at first when they meet a woman they actually like. They don’t know
what to do with it after all the skanks they’re used to,” she said dryly. “But
Sal is a mystery to all of us to begin with. He’s so guarded it’s hard to get
to know him even a little bit. Just play a little hard to get, see what
happens,” she advised.
“Done and done. I don’t even have to
play,” Kat muttered.
I squeezed her thigh for a moment in
reassurance, hoping like hell that Sal pulled his head out of his ass. Kat was
gorgeous and funny and just amazing all around. She deserved the best. She also
had a temper that you did not want to
fuck around with.
I went to find the bathroom and then
planned to look for Cole. The house was small, but I meandered a bit trying to
find it. I was slightly tipsy and the house was packed.
“Looking for something sweet cheeks?”
a deep voice inquired. I turned to find a very handsome dark haired man looking
hungrily at my ass.
“Did you seriously just call me ‘sweet
cheeks?’ ” I asked, dumbfounded that he had the nerve.
“Well, it’s a seriously sweet ass,” he
said, moving toward me.
“You don’t back up immediately, we
have a serious fucking problem Parker,” Cole’s voice boomed from behind me.
“Oh sorry man, this yours?” my asshole
admirer said as he nodded toward me, immediately backing up.
“Is this yours?” I repeated back his
words with supreme irritation. “Seriously? Are you fucking kidding me?” I
demanded incredulously.
“Baby, cool it,” Cole commanded,
putting a hand on my waist.
Oh no, I did not think so. I would not be told to
