Chapter 21

10:18 a.m.

The clock glowed a soft neon blue at the top of the microwave like the gold stars Brenna’s parents used to make such a big deal out of in kindergarten. It should be a gold star. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d gotten out of bed later than sunrise, but today she’d indulged, intimate daydreams of her and Ludan playing through her head.

She fingered the scoop neckline of her pink nightshirt. It hadn’t looked like much when Lexi had recommended it the day before. Just a clingy tank design with two pearl buttons in the center and a length that hit her mid-thigh, but it felt amazing. The second she’d touched it, she’d snatched the shirt from Lexi’s hand and riffled through the racks until she’d found two more in other colors.

“I told you it would look good.” Lexi shuffled into the kitchen, one side of her blue-black hair more mussed than the other. Somehow she still looked sexy. “You wear those babies around here and I’ll give it twenty-four hours before Ludan caves.”

Heavier footsteps sounded in the living room.

Brenna peeked behind Lexi in time to spy Jagger settling in one of the oversized chairs in the living room. “Maybe now’s not the best time to wear it though.”

“Oh no. It’s the perfect time. If Ludan learns you paraded around like that in front of Jagger, I’ll cut my prediction to twelve hours.” Lexi slid onto a barstool and reached for a large white box Brenna hadn’t noticed. It had green and red lettering and lots of green polka dots on it.

“What’s that?”

Lexi reverently opened the lid. “I really need to talk Eryx into giving Wes and Troy a promotion.” She spun the box so Brenna could see inside. “Behold the mother of all breakfast delights.”

Evenly placed along the bottom of the box were three rows of little round pastries with different colored tops. A memory from her childhood flared from out of nowhere. Her mom and dad stopping at a bakery before church. “Doughnuts.”

“Damn right.” Lexi snatched one of the chocolate ones. Her hand had barely cleared the lid before she bit into the fluffy dough. Her eyes slid shut and she moaned. “I love Orla, and I don’t think I’ll ever get enough lastas, but holy schamoly, Krispy Kremes kick ass.”

Brenna padded closer to the counter, silently playing eeny-meeny-miny-moe in her head. Her gaze locked on the one with red, white, and blue sprinkles, and her mouth watered. Then again, the chocolate ones like Lexi’s looked pretty good too.

“Oh, for Pete’s sake,” Lexi said. “Just pick one. If we run out, we’ll send the boys out for more.”

Right. Gluttony and sloth, the two primary goals Lexi had set for the day. She couldn’t wait until Ludan got home so she could share her big accomplishments.

“So.” Lexi licked her fingers and hopped off her seat, headed toward the coffeepot. “What time is your mom supposed to get off work?”

Brenna bit into her doughnut and moaned the same way Lexi had.
