He furrowed his brows, then dryly said, “If this is your idea of wingwomaning me, I’ll pass.” And he proceeded to shrug us away.
“Hey, don’t you want a little help from people who actuallyknowwhat women want?” Oaklynn argued.
Parker only lifted his shoulders. “Never needed it before.” He turned away to rejoin his new friend, only to find some other guy macking on her now. “What the hell?”
“Ooh, too bad,” I said sympathetically. “Looks like that one got away.”
As he sent me a dark look, Faith added, “Guess you should’ve followed our advice from the beginning.”
“Unbelievable.” He threw up his hands in frustration, making me, Faith, and Oaklynn laugh. “Union,” he charged with a dark look over my shoulder. “You need to do something about your woman. The other two weren’t so bad untilshecame along and turned them into the fearsome threesome.”
My boyfriend’s laugh filled the air just before a pair of familiar arms wrapped around my waist from behind. “Causing havoc again, my dear?” he asked before pressing a kiss to my cheek.
I smiled and tipped my face back so I could rest the back of my head on his shoulder and reach up to stroke his hair. “Always. I thought you were dueling Keene in the front room.”
“Already beat him,” he answered, pressing his cheek to mine and beginning to sway with me as he turned his gaze toward Parker. “Did you tell him about his graduation present from us yet?”
Parker cocked up a curious eyebrow. “Graduation present?”
Ignoring him, I answered Foster, “No. I was waiting for you.”
“What graduation present?” Parker persisted. “I told y’all I didn’t want anything.”
“It’s not a present per se,” Foster answered. “Just more of something we want to do for you.”
Glancing between me and Foster, Parker guessed, “A night with Red?”
“What?No!” Foster cried. “Dude, really?”
Parker only shrugged, unrepentant.
“We do want to discuss it privately, though,” Foster added, which only made Parker perk up even more.
“So…Twonights with Red?” he said.
“Seriously? No,” Foster growled. “You’re not sleeping with my girlfriend.”
I mean, technically he kind ofwouldbe if he decided to accept our offer, but I didn’t say as much because that would only get Parkerreallygoing, and he was already having too much fun as it was irritating poor Foster.
“Alright, then,” Parker told us, splaying out a hand. “Lead the way. I’m curious to hear what you have to say.”
Foster and I glanced at each other, and we each took a deep breath. “You’re sure?” Foster asked me, looking suddenly worried.
I smiled and kissed his cheek. “I’m sure. I want to help if I can.”
His eyes warmed. “God, I love you,” he murmured, leaning over to kiss me back. “I’m so happy you returned to town.”
Squeezing his arm, I glowed with joy. “So am I.”
Parker snapped his fingers between us to break up our moment. “Yeah, yeah. We’re all happy. Now… What do you want to help me with?”
“Right.” Foster cleared his throat, then took my hand, squeezing my fingers, as he glanced at Parker. “Let’s talk in Hudson’s old room.”
“O…kay,” his friend said slowly, frowning suspiciously between us.
From there, we worked our way through the house until we made it to what used to be Hudson’s room.
The last one in, Parker closed the door behind him and leaned against the panel. Then he folded his arms over his chest and demanded, “Alright. Talk.”
