Chapter Nine

Adrian was an idiot. Friends? Are you serious? How stupid can you be? For the past two hours, his lion had been snarling and ripping him apart from the inside out. We can’t just be friends with her, you moron! We want her. We need to bed her. We need to lie beside her and feel her pressed against us as she sleeps. Being her friend is not going to get us there. You need to fix this. Now!

He sat and watched as McKinzy interacted with the crew and made herself at home. Not even in six years with Abby had she ever hung out at the fire with the crew at the end of the day. She always claimed to be reading or watching television or some other lame excuse to not have to build relationships with his friends.

There she was again, damn it. Abby had been gone three years now and she still had control over every ounce of his happiness in a very bad way. He had been young and dumb. Someday he would learn his lesson...maybe.

“Hello! Earth to Adrian!” Elijah chucked a marshmallow at Adrian’s head like a child.

“Sorry, what?” He asked, looking around the fire in confusion.

“We’re all off to bed, brother. Are you gonna put out the fire? Or should I unleash my monster on it?” Elijah waggled his eyebrows, waving his hips back and forth like he was spraying a water hose at the fire.

Shaking his head, Adrian said, “You go ahead and do that, Elijah. Just make sure it’s all the way out this time alright?”

“Yeah yeah, boss man. Go to bed, you party animal,” Elijah joked over his shoulder as he turned to the fire and unzipped his pants.

“G’night.” Adrian said, turning towards his cabin.

Walking up the steps, he continued to contemplate about his stupidity when it came to women. Just think about all the fun you could be having with her. Let Abby go. Enough of this guilt. We need to live. His lion had never truly bonded to Abby, but his head had. As he turned the knob to his cabin, he could hear something rustling behind him. Turning to face the noise, he came face to face with McKinzy. She had changed out of her work gear into some more comfortable looking shorts and a gray tank top with the words 1010 Crew emblazoned on it. He made a mental note to ask her about the shirt later.

“Hi...I uh...I saw that you were still up. And I was wondering if you wanted to have a drink with me or something?”

“I think we could both use one after the day that we’ve had,” he said, opening the door the rest of the way.

“Do you have any whiskey?” She grinned, kicking her shoes off by the door and settling down onto his futon.

“Sure do, does Pendleton work for you?”

“On the rocks please.”

Damn, that’s hot. Drinking whiskey on ice!?

“Sure thing. Go ahead and make yourself comfortable,” Adrian gave her a warm smile.
