Chapter 17

Twenty minutes later, Mike set the plates of veal marsala—veal covered in a mushroom-and-wine sauce and Parmesan cheese—on the table, along with egg noodles. “Dinner is served.” He brought in chocolate cheesecake while Ted poured glasses of red wine.

Nick finished his spaghetti, and Greg hurried to take his plate.

“Now that’s what the women like,” Aidan said. “A man who helps in the kitchen.”

“Do you help in the kitchen?” Greg asked.

“Sure, when Ted and Mike let me. They usually tell me they have it covered and to go do my research before we all fade into oblivion. Before they came to work for me—”

“You were skipping meals, they said.”

“True, but the meals I made were good, and I cleaned up after myself.” Aidan didn’t want Holly to think he was a slouch at cooking or cleaning up. He did have a maid, but sometimes he liked to do the dishes to give himself time to think about what else he could try with his research.

“Thanks, guys.” Holly joined Aidan at the dining-room table. “This looks delicious.”

“I have to agree,” Aidan told them. “Just perfect.”

Ted slapped Greg on the back. “Come on. Let’s go before their food gets cold.”

“Heading upstairs to bed,” Nick said. “Just don’t let there be any crazy and wild parties going on when you all get home. Night all.”

Holly smiled at him. “Night, Nick. Pleasant dreams.”

Nick snorted. “If I don’t hear the wind whipping the tree branches and snow, I probably won’t be able to sleep.”

“I know the feeling when I’ve been camping out too long. Night,” Aidan said. “We’ll see you in the morning.”

“See you then.” Nick disappeared up the stairs.

Ted, Mike, and Greg were already rushing out the wolf door as wolves.

“They’re not running too far away, are they?” Holly sounded worried they might get into trouble, especially when her brother was with them.

“Nope. Their job is guarding me, so they’ll just be…guarding. They’ll hang around the area. Hope Greg knows that and doesn’t get bored too easily.”

“He’s a good kid. He loves being one of the men. He’s used to being around two sisters and his mom, so this has been good for him. Dad is so busy with the shop that he’s worn out when he comes home. I hope Mike doesn’t overdo it after having that blood transfusion.” She took a sip of her wine.

“You either, after giving blood.”

“What will you do if you find a cure for our people and no longer need bodyguards?”

“I wouldn’t be able to enjoy their culinary expertise. They’re always trying something new out on me, and I swear they’ve never made a bad dish. Except for the time they burned a pan of tilapia. Each one thought the other was watching it.”

She smiled. “That’s easy to do when there are too many chefs in the kitchen.”

“I have the same problem when it’s just me in the kitchen. But that has to do with me going back to look at my lab work and forgetting about the meal I’m cooking.
