A low growl bubbled up from her stomach. “I’ll kill him.” She snarled, moving to stand up and head back outside. Moe pulled her back down.
“Whoa there, killer, it’s not as easy as that. We can’t kill him or maim him as long as he hasn’t broken any laws in Arkadia. I’m afraid you got in your one lucky punch,” Madison advised.
“I’d listen to her. She is a genius when it comes to the law.” Giddey nodded, his eyes empathetic.
Abby took a deep breath and crossed her arms over her chest. “If he comes near my mates or my nephew I’ll rip him apart and let her worry about the law.” Abby wished she had hit him harder.
“Okay, no more contemplating murder in front of me, wait until later when I’m gone,” Madison said, grinning at Abby.
“I have an idea. Giddey, maybe you can help. How good are you at spotting gay men?” Damian asked, a sparkle in his eye.
“If it were an Olympic event I’d have gold cock rings!”
“Okay then. So, is he gay?” Damian asked, pointing to Moe.
Abby’s mouth twitched at the thoughtful expression on Giddey’s face. He looked her mate up and down, taking in every detail. Finally, he frowned and shook his head.
“I’m not sure, he’s scrambled my senses. Is he?” Giddey leered at Moe.
Abby brought Moe’s hand up and kissed it.
Giddey slumped down in his chair. “Straight.”
Grinning, Rhys picked up Moe’s other hand and kissed it.
Giddey perked up. “Bi. That makes me feel better. Gorgeous men deserve to be with gorgeous men. No offense, ladies.” Giddey shrugged.
“See Rian, Giddey had trouble too, so you can just stop with the ridiculous idea that you’re not gay!”
“Him, not gay?” Giddey started laughing hysterically.
“I know right? I’ve been putting up with his craziness since Moe and Rhys found out they were mates. I think it was when he found out that his favorite porn actor wasn’t really gay, just gay for pay, that sent him over the edge.” Damian lay his head down on the table, exhausted.
Bethany rubbed her brother’s back sympathetically.
Asling reached up and popped Rian in the back of the head.
“Ow!”
“You’ve been gay since before I was born, Rian Stafford, stop being so melodramatic.” Asling rolled her eyes.
“She reminds me of Cassie, no nonsense.” Abby smiled for a second and then a panic set in. “Fuck a duck! I forgot to call Cassie and check in!” Abby scrambled for her phone.
“It’s only been a couple hours, you’ll be fine.” Rebecca waved her hand at her friend.
“You don’t understand, I got distracted in Nevada for a bit.” Abby stared at her phone dreading making the phone call she had to make.
“You totally hit Vegas! How long were you there?” Rebecca asked.
“Umm, like a week, but I had just finished a really huge project when Cassie called about the Christmas cards. I needed to unwind.” She held out her phone to Rebecca. “You call her.”
“Fuck. That. Noise.” Rebecca shook her head.
“Becca, language,” Ma called from behind the counter.
“Sorry, Ma.”
Abby took a deep breath and prayed for voice mail.
