Chapter Thirteen

The next day during the lunch rush, Caitlyn saw Travis and Richie enter the diner. She suppressed a groan and glanced at Sandy who was collecting empty dishes from a vacant table. Caitlyn sighed and took out her pad and pencil. Well, if anyone was going to have to deal with the two men, it might as well be her. At least she wouldn’t be working here much longer. In a month, she could quit and she’d never have to see Travis and Richie again.

When she approached their booth, Travis made it a point to scan her body. “Hey there, gorgeous. If you play your cards right, I might take you home with me.”

“It’s not a good idea to threaten the person in charge of your food,” she replied. “Are you going to order or should I have Jack toss you out of here?”

“Oh, come on now, honey. Why do you have to be so cruel?” he asked with a pout.

Richie sighed. “Haven’t you been playing hard to get long enough, sweetheart?”

Groaning, she crossed her arms and glared at them. “Listen up, you two. I’ve had enough of this.”

Travis wiggled his eyebrows at her. “The harder you protest, the more you want it.”

“First of all,” she began, “I wouldn’t have sex with either of you two if my life depended on it. Second, I’m married.” Really, how many times did she have to say that?

Richie shrugged. “Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s polite to share?”

Before she had time to back away, he reached out to touch her arm. She felt the heat surge through her and strike at his hand.

He yelped in surprise and stared at his hand which was red. “What the…?” Looking from her to Travis, Richie showed him the burn mark.

Caitlyn stared at his hand in disbelief. What just happened?

“All you did was touch her,” Travis said, glancing at her.

Caitlyn took a deep breath. “No, he didn’t just touch me. He was overstepping his boundaries. I’m married, and that means he has no right to touch me in a sexual way.” She deducted that it had something to do with her bond to Chris. He said on his world once a couple bonded, no one could interfere with their connection. Lifting her pad and pencil, she asked, “So, do you want to order or what?”

The two men hesitated but finally gave their orders without any more suggestive comments. It was fun to watch them actually mumble and avoid eye contact with her whenever she got near them. After months of putting up with their slimy treatment, the attitude adjustment was long overdue.

When the lunch rush cleared, Sandy sat next to her so they could eat their meals. “Caitlyn, the strangest thing happened to me a half hour ago. Travis and Richie called me ma’am on the way out the door. What did you do to whip them into shape?”

Caitlyn picked up her french fry, dipped it into the ketchup, and shot Sandy a mischievous grin. “Maybe they’re learning that if they treat women like sex objects, they’ll get burned.
