“Threeso to join us”

Shell burst out laughing while Steph gave Maverick an exaggerated nod and patted his cheek Throughout the entire exchange, Beth didn’t stir

“Sure, honey,” Steph said as though placating a child “How about this We’ll get naked and wait for you right here while you go put Beth to bed then tell Copper that you’re going to have a threesome with his woman”

Mav’s sotta ruin rumbled as he made his way to the stairs “All I want is a little threesootta tell Copper and risk getting my balls shoved down my throat”

Three steps up, he turned and speared Steph with a s look “I’ll remember this”

“I’ on it,” she fired back with a wink

“Shit, woet me all riled up”

Laughing, Shell hugged a giggling Steph then trailed Mav up the steps Mav’s antics were legendary around the club Nothing that fell out from his lips surprised anyone They’d all coeous every time he opened his mouth

“Thank you one hter into the queen-sized bed across the hall fro”

“That’s good,” he said with a wink “Though I have a feeling what’s about to coh to wake the dead”

Heat rushed to Shell’s face The sexual side of her relationship with Copper was still so fresh, she wasn’t accustoet used to it fast with friends like Mav

“We’ll try not to offend your delicate ears,” she said, face burning

Mav barked out a laugh “Sassy,” he said “I like it, babe” He gently nudged her toward Copper’s door “Give it to hiirl The man was dished up a whole plateful of shit today” With a sed down the stairs, leaving her nodding at his retreating back

Shell tapped her knuckles on the door In the five seconds it took Copper to yank it open, her h every possible issue the club could be encountering The sound of Copper’s gruff, “What?” grated over her exposed nerve endings

“I, uh…hey,” she bumbled over the words and shot hie frame took up the entire expanse of the open door The fierce look on his face softened a fraction as he stared down at her, but not enough to have her anxiety subsiding She’d dealt with Copper’s teht she felt the added pressure of needing to be the one to soothe the beast
