“Tell Kru and the boys I need their help tomorrow,” Willa said.
“They’re all working, and besides, we don’t need their help.”
“I’m wanting to move the back warehouse.”
“Again? Why?”
“Because there is a draft between those two mountains, and my worms get too cold.”
“You have heaters—”
“I want to move my nursery! I need Kru and the boys.”
Cadence narrowed her eyes. “I know you. This feels like you are meddling.”
“Just supporting your Crew’s success! Oh!” She made her way to a box and popped it open easily. “The new shipment of uniforms came in.”
If this was the part where Cadence had expected to receive the professional-looking navy blue Willa’s Worms coveralls she’d ordered for the entire outfit to wear to work, she was horrifically wrong.
Willa pulled out a pair of black coveralls emblazoned with a bright pink cartoon earthworm popping its head out of a hole wearing a naughty grin, with the saying, Do you like my wormhole? printed beneath it.
“You don’t think those are inappropriate?” Cadence asked.
Willa dug through the box, pulled out a specific one, and tossed it to Cadence. “The ones you ordered made me go to sleep with boredom, so I canceled the order. These are better.”
Cadence studied the logo. “Did you know there is the shape of a dick in the worm?”
“I know. Don’t tell Landon.”
“Again, I can still hear you,” Landon barked out. “I’m not wearing that.”
“This is your new, mandatory work attire,” Willa quipped as she chucked the appropriate size at him.
“You could always quit,” Cadence called out helpfully as she shoved her foot into one of the legs of the new coveralls.
“You wish.”
“If I had a fuckin’ genie right now,” Cadence muttered.
“I need your Crew’s muscle!” Willa called as she made her way out of the warehouse. “Tomorrow evening after they are off work. I’m calling in a favor!”
“I don’t owe you any favors!”
Willa ignored her and left the warehouse, left Cadence staring after her while zipping up her pervy coveralls.
“Why does Willa wear glasses?” Landon asked. “She’s a grizzly shifter. Her vision is perfect.”
“To seduce my mate, for he likes ‘em nerdy!” came the echoing call of the Almost Alpha of the Gray Back Crew. “When I wear glasses, I get at least two titty squeezes!”
Cadence snorted. Landon wasn’t the only one with impeccable hearing around here.
Landon was looking at where Willa had disappeared with a horrified expression. He went back to sorting worms from a long trough into shipping containers. “So…you and Kru, huh?”
A flash of Kru from yesterday morning bolted across her mind like lightning. She would never admit it out loud, but he had looked hot like that—all disheveled in the morning, with mussed hair and unshaved scruff on his sharp jawline. His abs all flexed with every breath…his boner…he was a very large man.
“I’m not with anyone, nor am I interested. Let’s play the quiet game.”
“God, you hate me, don’t you?”
