I chuckled. “I know. But don’t tell the other guys that.”

She laughed, shaking her head and pulling her shirt up. “Modest. In some areas.” Her gaze drifted down between my legs.

Nothing.

Shit.

I smiled anyway, shrugging. “Can’t be modest all the time, right?”

“Hey, if you’ve got it, brag about it.” She rose, stretching. Her nipples showed through her t-shirt.

No reaction.

We walked up front together. I handed her a care sheet, even though she didn’t need it. She took it anyway, folding it and tucking it into her back pocket. She turned to Zoe to pay.

The front door opened.

“Bradley, hey.”

Lora.

She looked gorgeous as ever, her hair in a messy bun, dressed in worn jeans and a Bakeology t-shirt. She held a bag and a cup of coffee in her hands, and had the most radiant smile on her face.

“Hey,” she said. “Kenzie noticed that you didn’t stop by this morning, so she asked me to drop some stuff off. Get your morning going right.”

“Cool.” I nodded. “Thanks.”

Emily turned. She rose up on her toes, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “Hey, it was great to get those hands all over me again,” she said, winking. “We should get together sometime. Y’know. Like old times.”

I glanced at Lora. Her smile was gone.

The shop was silent.

Shit, was everyone watching?

“Yeah. Uh, sounds good. Love to.”

“Great.” Emily patted my cheek and turned, passing Lora and leaving the shop.

The shop stayed silent for entirely too long.

“Lora—”

She turned, slamming the cup and bag down on the counter in front of Zoe. “It’s from Kenzie.”

I’d never heard her snap before.

“Lora—”

She spun on her heel and stormed out, the door slamming shut behind her.

One of the guys let out a low whistle behind me.

I groaned, pressing one hand to my forehead. What was I supposed to do? She wanted to keep it a secret, and that’s what I was doing.

But dammit, I hated seeing her mad and knowing it was my fault.
