“Shower sex.” Laredo joined in the fun. “Great in the morning.”
“Knock it off,” Mike said, his voice heavy with irritation.
“Dish it out but can’t take it?” Jared teased.
“Someone doesn’t like sharing.”
“Not this,” Mike snapped at Laredo. “Cassie is a class act and I’m not sharing a damn thing.” He knew the guys were just razzing on him, like they always did. But Cassie was unique. His time with her special.
“Okay, bro.” Jared slapped him on the back. “We’re just funnin’. Cassie huh? She is a beautiful woman and nice, too.”
“Yeah, man. I think you like her. Like, really like her.”
Mike glanced at Cooper. The kid was smarter than he looked.
“You guys got me. Yes, I was with Cassie. I wasn’t scheduled to be here in the first place. Yes, I was running late. But I sure as hell am not telling you why.”
“There’s my answer. Right there.” Laredo nodded to the others.
“You guys ready to eat?” Shep, the instigator. The one who set the wolves on him.
“I’ll get the plates,” Cooper said as he opened a cabinet door.
“Who else has a girl keeping them up all night?” Jared asked as he took a seat at the table.
“Not me,” Cooper answered.
Jared glanced around the table. “You mean Shep and Mike are the only ones getting action?”
Laredo hooted. “I think you better rephrase that one. Every man at this table is getting action.”
“Don’t include me in that category. Alice Daniels will have to focus her attention on someone else.”
“Come on, Cap. Alice is a fine-looking woman.”
“I’ll be sure and tell her you said that the next time she stops by,” Shep said with a pointed stare.
“Oh, no. Don’t pawn your girlfriend off on me.”
“She’s not my—”
“Don’t you like her, Cap?” Cooper kept a straight face, but Mike knew the mischief-maker’s question was far from innocent.
“Why does everyone keep interrupting me?” Shep braced his arms on the table. “All joking aside, I need to find a way to rid myself of that woman. She’s becoming a nuisance.”
“She brings us food,” Laredo said after sucking down a mouthful of noodles.
“Hey, dude. She brings stuff from Mason’s Bakery, passing it off as her own.
Laredo hiked a brow then gave a shrug. “It’s still food.”
So much for the serious approach.
“I see what you mean,” Mike said to Shep. “If the woman goes out of her way to pawn off another person’s cooking and claim it as her own, who knows what she might try next?”
“You mean, she could be like fatal attraction?”
Guess everyone had seen that movie, even Cooper.
