He reaches for his bowl, eyeing the cat as if he needs to protect the stew so Mina won’t steal his food.
“There’s more if you’re still hungry,” I tell him with a chuckle.“Mina doesn’t like beef stew.”
As if to agree with me, the cat meows again, jumps off the kitchen table and runs into the living room.
Abbott is still glaring in the direction of the doorway.“Then why jump on the table?Do I need to lock my bedroom door tonight?”
Now I do laugh.“Might be a smart choice.”
The corner of his mouth twitches while he tries to give me a fake, angry glare.
I finish my stew and shove my chair back.“Would you like some more?”
“Yes, please.”He watches me closely.“You should come to a club party once the clubhouse is fixed.Bring some of that delicious stew, the brothers would love it.”
I fill his bowl to the brim and place it in front of him.
Sitting down, I clasp my hands together in my lap and lean back.“Why does the clubhouse need fixing?”
His spoon is halfway to his mouth when he states, “Pipe burst.The floors needed to be ripped out, walls redone, shit like that due to the water damage.”
“Well, that sucks,” I muse and then ask, “Is it the reason why you needed a place to stay?”
He chews slowly and when his mouth is empty, he says, “Yeah.I asked Delcy to sell my apartment when I was on the inside.Not much use for it then.”
I nod in understanding.“Like I mentioned to your sister, you’re welcome to stay here as long as you need.”
“You had some stuff that needs fixing?”he rumbles.
The man shovels some more stew in his mouth, and I can’t help but smile at the way he devours my food.It’s been a while since I had someone else’s company other than Delcy who came by regularly for a cup of coffee.
“A few things.”I rip my gaze away from his lips and clear my throat.“I’ll make a list and you can see whatever you can do, when you can do it.”
“Good.I’ll probably balance my time between here and the clubhouse.I want to help out my brothers as well.”
“Of course,” I muse and stand to place my bowl in the sink.
Rinsing the bowl, I wash my spoon when Abbott joins me.I wash while he dries, even if it’s only a few things.
It’s weird how at ease I feel around him.It’s probably due to the fact that he’s my best friend’s brother.I might not know him, but I know of him, and have known his sister for years.
“I can either give you money for groceries, do them together and split the costs, or we can take turns cooking,” Abbot suggests.“Same with the house and the utility bill, we could split it for the time I’m here.”
My smile slightly falters when I tell him, “I recently inherited the house, it’s fully paid for.You helping to fix some things is good enough.Besides, you’re doing me a favor, and I’m doing one for my friend, your sister.Believe me, I’m the one getting a great deal here.As for the food?We could go grocery shopping together and take turns cooking.I’ll be back at work the day after tomorrow and getting home where dinner is ready sounds amazing.”
He nods in understanding and leans back against the kitchen counter.“Books.You have a bookstore.Thanks again for helping my sister with her project.”
My smile is back full force.“No problem at all.The joy of reading is something everyone should be able to have.Oh, which reminds me, there are bookcases in the living room filled with a lot of books fitting the genre you read.Feel free to grab any title and dive in.”
“Appreciate it,” he rumbles.
The smile tugging his face causes my heart to leap inside my chest.I can feel my cheeks heat and I quickly divert my gaze.
Clearing my throat, I mutter, “You can take a shower now.Towels are under the sink in the bathroom.The water takes some time to heat, but I’ve always enjoyed hot showers for longer than ten minutes.Take all the time you need and let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.”
Rub myself against you for instance, kiss you, give a blow job, park your dick inside my pussy.Wait.What?My face heats to the point where I know I’m as red as a tomato, and I make a quick escape into the living room.
What the hell is wrong with me?He’s my best friend’s brother.A little over an hour ago I had never even met the guy.Now I want to jump his bones?Okay, maybe it’s my libido kicking in after being dormant for a long damn time.
