“If I didn’t know you were sore, Pet, you’d be buck naked and back in bed.”

Her mouth snapped shut as she stared at Ben. He was right, she was sore, but it didn’t deter her body from turning into a needy woman who was achingly ready for them.

Ben grunted and turned back to the stove. “Breakfast is about ready. Why don’t you two set the table and get glasses of juice?”

Rowan showed her where they kept everything as they finished setting the table.

A plate was set in front of her, and the sight made her mouth water. A few puffy pancakes were next to strips of bacon and a small mound of scrambled eggs.

“This looks delicious,” she said and took a bite. They ate in silence for a minute. “Oh, wow. These pancakes are wonderful.”

“Thank you. Rowan and I had to learn to cook because we didn’t want any women in this kitchen.”

“Why?” she asked.

“Because we want our mate to be the only woman,” Ben told her.

Jenna loved the idea. “No other women have been here?”

Ben shook his head. “The only women we allow in are to clean and leave meals for us. The pack knows what we want, so the women don’t try to come here thinking anything will happen.”

She loved hearing that, and she also liked knowing Morgan had lied to her. She cleared her throat.”I enjoy cooking, guys, so you won’t have to worry about starving or having people bring us meals.”

“Good. I know how to cook, but I’m not great at it. Ben is better.”

“I’m better at a lot of things,” Ben said and grinned.

Rowan rolled his eyes. “Maybe a few, but I’m better at other things.”

She smiled as the two started to argue about who was better at what. It was fun to watch because they were enjoying themselves and not really fighting.

The three cleaned up the kitchen.

“When will I get my things?” she asked. “I can’t keep wearing these same clothes.”

“Who said you had to wear anything?” Rowan said.

“I’m not walking around here naked,” she snapped and crossed her arms over her chest. A shiver raced down her back when both men faced her with every bit of male arrogance she expected from them. She just hadn’t thought it would turn her on.

“If we wanted you naked, Pet, you would be.”

“What if I don’t want to be?” she asked.

“We know you’re nervous right now,” Rowan said. “But when you become more comfortable, we’ll insist on you not wearing clothing sometimes.”

She almost smirked but kept her face bland. Well, they’ll see about that.

Ben wrapped an arm around her waist. “Our men are bringing your things later this morning. They didn’t want to be followed, so they went to another apartment building. When they know it’s safe, they’ll come here. We don’t want you in any danger, and it looks like Payne is going to be a problem.”

She nodded. The last thing she wanted to do was come face to face with that sociopath.

Chapter Fourteen

Several weeks passed, and they had yet to find Payne. Both men were getting impatient, and she knew she was starting to get anxious at the thought of the man being free and close.

Ben started going to his office every day. She knew he could only take so much time, and the pack needed him. It helped to know he was always in the building.

Rowan had his own work to do but tried to do most of it at the apartment.
