Chapter Seven

It had been three days since I met Dom in the bar and somehow I was managing to keep it together enough to get back behind the counter serving coffee, having spent the past few days hiding in the office doing ‘admin’, code for crying and eating too much cake. It had been a long day, though, and I was looking forward to closing up and going home to wallow in a bath and feel sorry for myself.

“There you go,” My smile hid how I felt as I handed over a customer’s order. “Two espressos, one soy latte and three slices of our coconut cake. Have a nice day!”

I turned to take the next order, but my blood ran cold when I saw who was standing in front of me.

“You! Out! You’re banned!” As if from nowhere, Kate was by my side, barking at Jen to get out of Perk.

“No, Kate. It’s all right.” I snapped out of the shock that had frozen me in place and I put a hand on Kate’s arm to stop her going after Jen to manhandle her out of the coffee shop. I wouldn’t put it past Kate to try it, even if she knew that Jen was a shifter and infinitely stronger than her. “I’m going to take my break now anyway. It’s long overdue. Jen, why don’t you join me in my office?”

“I’d love to,” purred Jen, pitching her smile at just the right amount of smug to get under Kate’s skin. I could feel Kate’s desperation to go after her, so I quickly motioned to Jen to come out to the back of the store.

“Do you want me to bring you some arsenic-laced coffee?” whispered Kate as I left, forcing me to suppress a giggle. Whatever Jen wanted, I could do this.

“Please. Take a seat.” I gestured to Jen to sit down, as I closed the door to my office behind us. Much as I understood Kate’s gut reaction to throw her out – part of me felt exactly the same way – I had to admit to feeling a little curious about what she was doing here. She’d got what she came for. Dom was hers. What did she need with me? Had she just come to twist the knife in my back a little more?

Jen perched on the very edge of the chair on the other side of my desk as I took the seat opposite. She gazed around the room, seeming to take in every detail, judging everything she saw.

“I must say that you have a very quaint little coffee shop here,” she observed. “It’s so… understated, a world apart from the types of places I’m used to frequenting.”

Why was I unsurprised that Jen was the queen of the backhanded compliment?

“Why don’t you just cut the crap and tell me why you’re here? You’ve got what you wanted. Dom’s with you, so why exactly did you come back? Are you seriously that much of a bitch that you needed to see for yourself how much you’ve hurt me?”

Jen laughed.
