Jack cocked his head as he crossed his arms. “Evelyn, you too?”

“We just wanted to say hello.”

Evelyn, she remembered, was Alex’s fiancée.

“Callie, Taamira, you might as well come on in, I know you’re out there,” Jack called.

Two more women stepped through the door and into the now crowded office at Jack’s command looking sheepish.

Jack turned to her. “On that note, I’ll leave you to it.”

In moments he was gone closing the door with an eye roll for Pax.

“That man needs to loosen up,” Pax drawled her American accent cultured.

Autumn lifted her hand to rest on the pram where Maggie still slept as four pairs of eyes fell on her.

The other two women were equally beautiful, and it took her a second to figure it out, but one was Calista Lund.

“Hi, I’m Callie. It’s nice to meet you.”

She took the proffered hand and shook it silently, feeling somewhat lost for words and for once hoping Maggie would wake up and steal all the attention.

“She knows who you are, Callie. Look at her face.”

Autumn blinked and looked at Evelyn. “Yeah, sorry.”

“I’m Evelyn, this is Pax, Callie, who you know, and this is Princess Taamira, but you can call her Taamira.”

“It’s nice to meet you?” Autumn wasn’t sure if her words were a question or a statement at this point.

Mitch was out of the office all day and wouldn’t be back until early that evening as he and Decker had a meeting with someone in Gloucester. Jack had left her so she was on her own with these four women, and honestly, she hated situations like these.

She’d always got on with people at school but being the focus of attention and especially when that attention was from four gorgeous women, one of which was a model and the other a Princess, she wasn’t comfortable.

Princess Taamira moved closer, and it was hard not to be affected by the knowledge she was royalty, especially encased in such beauty. She took Autumn’s hands. “This is a lot, is it not? I know from when I met my Liam, it was scary to be bombarded by such confidence. Rest assured we mean well. We just wish you to know we are here and wish to be your friends.”

“Why?” The single word was sharper than she intended, but her awkwardness was making her words come out wrong.

“Why?” Pax asked with a tilt of her head which caused her wavy hair to fall over her bare shoulder.

“Why do you want to be my friends?”

“Aubrey and Bebe said she was spunky one.” Evelyn laughed before she made herself at home in the chair Jack had vacated. Autumn’s ear pricked at the names of two women she knew and liked already.

“You’re with Mitch, right?” Callie asked.

“Well, yes, kind of. It’s all very new.” Autumn started moving the pram slightly as Maggie stirred.

“I’m with Reid, Pax is with Blake, Evelyn is engaged to Alex, and Taamira is with Liam. We’re the Eidolon WAGs.”

“WAGs?”

“Wives and girlfriends.”

“Oh, I see.”

“I hate when you use that term.” Pax took a seat on the small couch that was along the left wall, and Taamira and Callie did the same as Autumn escaped behind her desk now that Maggie had gone back into a deep sleep.
