"You and your fucking health food," I said, my tone lighter now. "Right now, I could use a big plate of bacon." I glanced at Ben before I added, "Cooked properly."
Ben smiled and nodded.
Jake didn't look impressed at being left out of an in-joke, but he forced a smile. "If you want bacon, I can send the Pup to get you some."
I resisted the urge to remind him that if I wanted bacon, I could send Cooper for it myself.
Cooper hopped up from where he was sitting on the couch. "I can get us bacon. Maybe some eggs and toast. I know it's dinnertime but if that's what you want…"
I held back a sigh. Apparently he was going to fuss over me too. I appreciated the attention, but I wasn't made of glass. I wouldn't snap if they looked at me the wrong way.
I looked over at Hutton.
He shrugged. "I've never been very good at fussing over people. I'll leave that shit to these guys. If you want to know about the inner workings of the Onyx Ridge pack, I'm your dude. If you want me to go down on you, my tongue is all yours. I’ll even go and get your bacon for you, but I guarantee I'll eat at least some of it on the way back. But fawning, just not my thing." He placed his hands behind his head and leaned against the back of the couch.
"Told you he was an asshole," Jake said. "Eating someone else's bacon is a new low." He pretended to glare at Hutton, but something had changed between them. It was more of a friendly rivalry than two men who hated each other.
Or maybe they were just being nice for my sake. Whatever. It was easier if they'd just got along anyway.
"I wasn't suggesting I eat your bacon, babe," Hutton said to me. "I'll happily eat Jake's."
"Is bacon a euphemism for genitals now?" Cooper asked.
Jake and Hutton both turned to stare at him. Ben started to laugh silently, but so hard he was soon doubled over, his palms pressed against his thighs.
Jake shook his head, but his momentary surprise and outrage soon turned to laughter as well. "It is now."
Hutton smirked. "If it is, then I retract what I said about Jake's." He looked at me. "But I'll definitely eat all of yours, babe."
I rolled my eyes at all of the guys. Was it possible for them to go more than five minutes without thinking about their dicks? Or my pussy?
I pulled out my phone. "I think I just order pizza." I looked at them all, challenging them to interpret that as some sort of innuendo.
"Hutton wants his with extra sausage," Jake said.
Yep, there it was. I should have seen that one coming.
"As long as it's not your sausage," Hutton retorted.
"I like mine spicy, like you," Cooper said to me. He gave me such an adoring look my heart almost melted on the spot. I didn't deserve anyone as fucking sweet as he was. He really was like a wolf pup at times. Naïve but also vicious. It didn't hurt that he was hot as hells and a quick learner in bed.
I pressed the buttons on the pizza restaurants app, and talked as I went. "Sausage for Hutton. Pepperoni for Cooper. Extra pineapple for Jake."
"Sick fuck," Hutton told Jake. The expression on his face was half grimace, half smile.
Jake shrugged. "It's healthier this way. Don't forget extra olives."
I added that to the order, plus meat lovers for me. I looked over to Ben, who had finally stopped laughing.
"Vegetarian with extra cheese, please, angel," he said.
I wasn't the only one who raised my eyebrows at the endearment. "I'm not sure I'm much of an angel," I said.
He smiled softly. "Yes you are. Very much so."
"One hundred percent accurate," Jake said firmly. "Right, Pup?"
"Right," Cooper agreed.
