Page 94 of Receiving His Mercy
“Good. I’m glad. Gray is a good brother.”
“He’s the best.”
Jace strode over, eyeing them both. “You two okay?”
“Yeah, Caren is going to come with me to the club,” Rory told him before turning back to her. “Do you want to go tomorrow night?”
Tomorrow night?
Right now, she didn’t feel like she had the energy to make a cup of tea let alone go to a club. But that wasn’t going to stop her.
“That would be great.”
“You two won’t be going without me,” Jace told them firmly.
“Or me,” Travis said, walking up to them. “We’ll all go tomorrow night.”
“You’re there every weekend anyway,” Jace told Travis before turning to the girls. “He has no life.”
“I have a life,” Travis protested.
“Yeah. Name one thing you do that isn’t work or going to the club,” Jace said as he handed Rory a small plate of food filled with different things. He must have chased down every waiter in the place and gathered up a bit of everything.
That was really kind of sweet.
Then he undid one of the bottles of water he held and gave it to her. She took it, giving him a grateful smile. “Thanks, Jace.”
He simply nodded and did the same with the other bottle, handing it to Rory.
“Thank you,” Rory replied quietly as she settled the plate of food on her lap.
“I do lots of other shit,” Travis said.
“What? Like work-out? That doesn’t count,” Jace replied.
“How doesn’t that count?” Travis demanded, reaching for some of the food.
Jace slapped his hand away.
“Hey!” Travis protested.
“The food is for the girls. You can get your own.”
“Asshole. I’m always doing shit for you and you can’t feed me?” Travis complained.
“No. You don’t need it. You’re getting chunky.”
Caren stared at them both in shock. That seemed a bit mean.
“Chunky? This is all muscle!” Travis retorted.
It sure was.
Rory let out a giggle as Jace snorted. “Yeah, right.”
“It is!” she told him. “Travis isn’t chunky at all. I can attest to that. And it seems a bit mean to say that to him.”
The three of them gaped at her, before Rory patted her hand. “It’s all right, Jace is just teasing Travis. Anyone can see that he’s pure muscle.”
