Chapter Fifteen

Stretching, Aiden rolled, exposing his belly to the sunlight. Beside him, Raine lay sprawled on his side, the warm summer winds ruffling his fur as he slept. On the other side of him, Gabe sat shirtless with a stack of papers, a red pen, and a highlighter, going over a manuscript he’d been hired to edit.

How’s it coming? Aiden thought to him, loving the way his mate smiled over at him in response.

“I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t taken on this job,” he admitted. “Then I could be over there with you guys instead of sitting here adjusting ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ so they actually fit the sentence.”

Is this the same one that insists on using very to emphasize everything instead of looking for stronger words? Aiden asked.

“Oh, yeah.”

Wrinkling his nose, Aiden huffed. You’re going to be over there awhile.

“You’re telling me,” Gabe replied miserably.

You could always take a break, work on it later after you enjoy this beautiful morning with us, Aiden suggested. Considering how late you were up last night working on it.

“She’s getting impatient,” Gabe replied.

Did you explain to her what had been going on?

“Yeah, but seeing as how I’d already had it for a week before that, she felt I was making excuses,” Gabe explained. “I want it over with so I can give it back to her and never take her on as a client again.”

How close are you to being done?

“Not close enough,” Gabe muttered, rubbing his eyes. From the way he kept shifting positions and adjusting his materials, Aiden could tell he was growing uncomfortable. Finally, he lay on his side, the papers in front of him, trying to work on it that way, even as Aiden rolled back over so he could lick Raine’s ear, the red wolf cracking one eye open to look at him.

Gabe is drowning in edits, Aiden thought to him. I think he should take a break and enjoy the sun, but of course, he won’t listen to me. Said the client wants it done and is getting on his case about it.

When I woke up at three this morning to get a snack, he was sitting by the lamp working on them instead of sleeping in the nest with us, Raine said. He’s been worried about me not getting enough rest and sleep, and now here he is doing the same thing.

Exactly, Aiden thought. I think he needs a distraction.

Okay.

And I have just the thing to get him out of that chair and over here with us, Aiden insisted, growing more excited as the idea took hold. Recalling the heat and desire in Gabe’s eyes two nights before, when he’d walked in on Aiden and Raine making out in the pillow nest while waiting for dinner, he shifted, sitting naked in the grass.

Talking about getting someone to sit up and take notice, Raine sat staring at him with his tongue lolling out. He could practically feel Gabe’s eyes on him too; now if he could just up the ante a little.
