with someone. With two someones. She missed a step, and Theo caught her
under her elbow without hesitation. “You only had the two drinks.”
It wasn’t a question—he never seemed to ask questions, just make
statements—but she answered all the same. “I’m not drunk. I’m nervous.”
“Mmmm.”
The fever dream dissipated with the cold wind blowing from the north.
What am I doing? She didn’t have an answer now any more than she had
five minutes ago. Galen dropped back to walk on the other side of her, his
shoulder brushing hers with each step. She looked between the two of them,
so at ease in their skin as if they knew their place in life and reveled in it.
As if they’d never gone hungry a day in their lives.
Meg jerked her gaze back to the street. Though cabs clogged the streets,
neither man seemed in a hurry to catch one. She cleared her throat. “So…
are you two a thing?”
Galen snorted, and Theo laughed aloud. He stroked his hand up her
spine and back down again. “Nothing so official. We’ve been friends a long
time. Sometimes we’re more. Sometimes we’re less.”
“That’s not an answer.”
“She wants to know if I suck your cock, Theo.” Galen’s gruff voice
sounded out of place here in the open air, as if he was more comfortable
murmuring in low conversation in crowded rooms than exposed like this.
“Or maybe she’s asking if I fuck your ass.” His dark laugh made her toes
curl in her shoes. “Your princess has cold feet.”
Theo stopped walking and turned her to face him. In there, he hadn’t
seemed quite as big as Galen, but she realized that was all a front. Even as
Meg watched, his posture straightened and he cracked his neck. In truth, he
was taller than Galen, though not quite as massive. This is a man who
knows how to hide.
But what could he possibly have to hide from?
He ran his hands up her arms and over her shoulders. “Do you want me
to call you a cab?”
No misunderstanding that. He’d call her a cab, probably pay for it in the
bargain, give her a pat on the head, and send her home alone. All she had to
do was ask. Even with his mysteries, Theo had the air of a man who took
care of the people around him.
