Chapter Eight

Friday morning, I could barely move. Every time I bent over to grab some silverware, my muscles complained. But I smiled, as much from the memory as the cause. In total, I think I may have gotten two hours of sleep, if that. After coming for the third or fourth time, I lost count.

And what amazed me was Thayre could go for as long as I did. I'd never heard of men who were capable of climaxing multiple times in one evening, but he showed me it wasn't only possible, he was also hard to keep up with.

My mind was in a fog for most of the day. My second wind had come and gone by the time the lunch rush was over, and I still had four hours to go before I could call it quits.

I was in the process of carrying a tray of dirty dishes to the washroom when a hand on my shoulder stopped me.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?” Jason asked, not waiting for me to turn around.

“Yeah, just let me put these in the back.”

“No. Now.”

I shrugged my arm away from him, set the bin on the counter, then faced him. “Can this wait until after hours? If you haven't noticed, we're shorthanded today. Lisa's out.”

“I know—I fired her.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “Thought that would get your attention. And no, this can't wait. My office. Now.”

I dropped my gaze, wiped my hands off on my apron and followed him into his excuse for a workspace. It was a mess, just like everything else in this place. It didn't even have enough room for a desk and more than one chair. He sat while I stood.

“Close the door.” Once I did, he continued. “Seeing as performance is low, I'm going to need you to stay late tonight and cover Lisa's shift tomorrow.”

The hell I will. As it was, I'd already worked close to sixty hours this week. Covering the rest of tonight, tomorrow and Sunday was way past my limit. Not like I hadn't exceeded it already.

“I can't,” I said, not looking at him. “I have plans tomorrow.”

“So cancel them.”

I clenched my jaw. “You're in a bind, I get it, but I can't cancel plans I made weeks in advance.” It was a lie of course, but he didn't need to know that.

“You can and will if you want your job to still be here on Monday.”

I glared at him. “And lose another part of the wait staff?” Without Lisa, I was the only one around willing or foolish enough to run double shifts. He didn't have enough staff to cover everything else. “Besides, you can't fire me because I don't work on a day I had off. You'll have to handle tomorrow on your own. I'll stay tonight, and come in early on Sunday, but tomorrow isn't an option.” I promised Thayre last night I'd go to practice with him. I turned to open the door, pausing to add, “Do me a favor and interview the new staff yourself.
