“Gabriel, Ashby, this is Abby, my best friend from college, she just mated with Rhys and Moe!” Rebecca shared excitedly.
“He’s just so damn pretty. Hey, can I take your picture?” Abby asked, digging for her phone.
Ashby looked at her as if trying to determine if she was serious. “I guess so.”
“Awesome!” Abby jumped up and took a couple pictures with her phone.
“Camille is going to be so jealous. Ha! That’s what you get for stealing my Halloween costume idea last year, heifer!” Abby texted Ashby’s picture to their diva of a best friend.
“What did you guys go as last year?” Rebecca asked.
“Cult 80s movie characters. I wanted to be Sarah from Labyrinth and she totally stole my idea. I had to go as Lili from Legend.” Abby grinned as her phone vibrated.
Who is that and is he single?
Nope, he’s mated to Prince Gabriel, whom I am having lunch with right now.
“You are totally torturing her right now, aren’t you?” Rebecca peered down at her phone.
“Yup. You would consider this having lunch with Prince Gabriel right? Yeah, I thought so too. Okay Rhys, Moe, smile.” Abby held up her phone. Her men both gave her bone-melting, sexy-as-hell smiles. She sighed.
“God you two are so damn sexy!” Abby texted both pictures to Camille.
“Kate and I voted and Moe won most fuckable male in Arkadia,” Rebecca volunteered.
Abby nodded. “I can totally see that.” Her phone vibrated again.
Seriously, where are you?? Hot men are everywhere. Please tell me they are single and want a lioness.
Nope, I’m in Arkadia and those two visions of sex and sin are my mates, paws off, biatch!
Laughing, she put her phone down on the table.
“So what’s good here?”
“Connor’s chili is always a good choice, but he’s out with his mate Madison today picking up Giddey, her personal assistant. I’ve been dying to meet him, he sounds over-the-top fabulous. Ma made peppers and sausage sandwiches today. I hurt myself eating two.” Rebecca wiped Aidhan’s chin.
“If you could eat two, then I’ll need three. But maybe I should have just one.” Abby’s mouth watered she as mentally listed the reasons why she needed to lose weight, two reasons being the perfect male specimens at the table with her.
“You’re not on another diet are you? I keep telling you that you’re gorgeous. I’d die to have your boobs.” Rebecca sighed.
Aleks rumbled that he liked her the way she was and nuzzled her neck. Rebecca sighed happily.
“I don’t like the idea of you not eating. Ma, three sandwiches for Abby please.” Moe was scowling at the idea of her skipping meals.
Abby felt her heart swell. No previous boyfriend had ever encouraged her to eat. If anything they monitored and criticized every bite.
“Save room for dessert,” Rhys whispered in her ear, causing shivers to race down her back.
Ma smiled warmly at them. “Any friend of Rebecca’s is more than welcome here. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself before Moe came in earlier. I’ll get your sandwiches started. Boys?” Ma asked from behind the counter.
“Five sandwiches for me Ma,” Moe said.
“I’ll try one.” Rhys smiled at Abby.
“That’s Ma, Aleks’s mother. She runs the diner,” Rebecca explained.
“Thanks, Ma.” Abby waved at the older woman who smiled back.
