Since Joss was stuck at the register and Piper was with a different customer, I jumped in to take over the one Harlow had been helping.
“Uhh, sorry,” I apologized to the customer.
The lady waved it away before moving her hand closer to fan her face. “Don’t be.” She tilted her head toward the other women in her group. “That’s half the reason we come here.”
“You should see when the growly blond gets his hands on the owner,” one of them whispered. “I swear, it’s better than any movie.”
I grinned, even though a pang hit my chest as I thought of my girls at work.
Most of all, Ms. Carol Anne.
That southern belle and her gang of gossips may have acted like they were proper ladies, but I’d heard them say things that’d make a sailor blush.
At the store, I wanted to take a pic of Judge’s ass to show her, but now, maybe, I’ll be able to show her in the flesh.
Well, not literally.
Pulling my mind out of Judge’s pants, I helped the women and tried not to stare at the couple in a clinch next to me.

“This is my fiancé, Kase,” Harlow told me. “He works for Piper’s husband in the garage.”
Crystal blue eyes landed on me for the first time and he looked startled, as though he hadn’t even noticed me or anyone else in the store for that matter.
I didn’t know Harlow from Eve, but I loved that she had a guy who saw no one but her.
When everything had gone down with my ex, my friends—filled with good intentions that could’ve paved my way to hell—had also said I’d been lucky he wasn’t a cheater. They’d said attractive men didn’t settle down—and those who did cheated. A lot.
But Kase definitely wasn’t playing it cool with Harlow so he could keep his options open.
And Jake and Piper had their businesses in the same building, something that would not work if they were miserable. Plus, I seriously doubted it was a coincidence his office had a door to her kitchen.
These guys were almost Judge-levels of attractiveness but seemed thrilled to be in committed relationships with women they were clearly crazy about.
None of these men are clueless, selfish Alexs.
They’re Judges.
Effortlessly romantic and automatically considerate.
“You Judge’s woman?” Kase asked.
Judge and I had never talked about it, but we hadn’t needed to. He’d made his feelings known with both actions and words, and I’d made mine known by…
