The burgers are waiting, and Beta has already eaten half of his.
“Finally, you’re back,” he says with a full mouth.
I put my coke on the table and settle next to Cain.
“Seriously, if one more person has an opinion about me sleeping with anybody, I will cut their head off,” I mumble and bite into my veggie burger.
“How is it?” Cain asks, looking at it distrustfully.
“A little bit spicy but good,” I say while offering him a bite.
He declines with a shake of his head, but Beta’s hand wraps around my wrist and he pulls it to his mouth to grab a taste.
“Yeah, it is spicy but good.”
“What are your life goals?” Cain asks suddenly, and I almost choke on my side salad.
“If you mean that warrior’s stupid comments, I don’t have those goals anymore.”
He puts a hand on my thigh under the table, and squeezes it lightly.
“That was a good ass burger,” Beta comments on his last bite, completely uninterested in Cain’s sudden interrogation.
Thank the Goddess.
“It’s Gregory’s favorite place,” I say, and then laugh with Cain at Beta’s annoyed grunting.
I feel Cain’s hand going up my thigh, so I look at him curiously with a half-smile.
“I’m not sure my husband would like that,” I joke, and he gives me his signature sexy smirk.
Heleans to my ear and lowers his voice. “I always wanted to have a quick fuck in the bathroom, what do you think?”
“I think… I had like ten to fifteen years less to think about it,” I chuckle. “But sure, why not.”
His smirk falls, and this time, Beta is the one laughing.
“Let’s get to that University already, we have a wedding to prepare for later,” Cain says bitterly, and eats the last of his fries.
Does he have such a problem with how much older than me he is, that he went soft at my comment so quickly?
“How old are you?” I try to inquireagain.
“It’s better that you don’t know, trust me. I wish I didn’t.”
“You mean our age difference?”
“Mhm. It’s creepy. Two years ago, I would barely be escaping being a pedophile,” he shudders.
“Two years ago, I would already be eighteen, an adult, and you would be twenty-something. It doesn’t sound that bad.”
Cain exchanges a look with his Beta.
“You would be under thirty, right?”
They are both quiet.
Shit. He must be more over thirty than I thought.
