However, the entire class had been uneventful except for one thing.
He’d been turned on the entire time. Watching her bend and move into positions that should be illegal . . . yeah, he’d spent the whole time telling himself not to look at her.
Yet unable to look away.
It was infuriating. He’d had to turn to discreetly adjust himself. Well, he hoped it had been discreet.
But, fuck, halfway through, just when he thought he might have himself under control, she’d stripped off her T-shirt so shewas just in yoga pants and a small sports top. That had showed off her trim stomach and firm muscles.
And yep, he’d nearly died.
It would have been a happy death, but embarrassing.
Thankfully, the class was over. Unfortunately, Livvy and Millie hadn’t left. Didn’t they know she had another class in twenty minutes? She needed to rest and rehydrate.
She was looking pale and slightly unsteady, which he didn’t like at all. How was she going to get through the next yoga class? Plus another one this afternoon and something called Fab Abs after that? They’d be finished around three, but by that time she was going to be completely exhausted.
Millie started laughing as Maya shot him a look before quickly glancing away again. Yeah, the three of them looked as suspicious as hell.
He grabbed his phone to message Ink.
Matthieu:You didn’t tell me that Millie knew Maya.
He waiteda few moments and checked in with Captain.
Matthieu:Cap, everything all good? Her pets okay?
Those three dots appeared.And they stayed there for a while. Then he replied.
Captain:Yep.
Really?It had taken him that long to type out a one-word reply?
A text came through from Ink as he was starting to wonder if Maya was right. Captain was kind of odd.
Ink:I didn’t know she did. You sure?
Matthieu snappeda picture of the three women and sent it to Ink.
Ink:Shit. I don’t like the look of that.
Matthieu:Yeah. Welcome to my life. I’m the one that has to keep them safe. This has disaster written all over it.
Ink:I’ll talk to Sav and Spike. See if they know anything. They look like they’re plotting to take over the world.
If only itwas something that simple he’d be happy.
Ink:You need to find out what they’re plotting and stop it.
Matthieu:Why don’t you ask me to solve world peace at the same time?
Ink:I can try and keep Livvy and Millie away from her.
Matthieu:No.
He didn’t second guesshis reaction. He just knew in his gut that Maya didn’t have many people she could turn to, who were on her side.
And Livvy and Millie were the best kind of people to have on your side.
