Page 16 of Emily's Essence

“Sure,” Meg said. “But don’t push yourself. We can tell you’re exhausted.”

“I’ve actually had some sleep the last two nights. It’s helped.”

“Oh, who have you slept with?” Meg asked.

“Hawk. He’s been very sweet to me.”

Both women’s mouths dropped open.

“You’re kidding. The man is usually an asshole,” Meg said.

“He hasn’t been with me.”

Meg and Kristina grinned at each other.

“This would be great if she could mellow him out.”

“Oh, wait, it’s not like that,” Emily said.

The two women chuckled.

“Come on down,” Kristina said.

Emily looked around as they walked down the stairs. She must have made a sound when she saw two guys going at one woman.

Meg laughed. “It takes some getting used to, but eventually, you won’t see it.”

Emily nodded. She didn’t know if she’d be able to do that, but she would ignore it to the best of her ability.

Chapter Seven

Hawk sat in one of the chairs in the office and waited for everyone else to get comfortable and the door to be closed.

“What’s up your ass?” Feral asked and grinned.

Hawk wiped a hand down his face. “Do you know what it’s like to sleep next to a sweet woman and not be able to fuck her?”

The guys laughed.

“Fuck, yeah. It sucks,” Striker said.

“That it does,” Hawk said.

“Let’s go over some ideas we discussed while we were waiting for you,” Striker said.

Hawk straightened his legs and rested his hands on his stomach.

Striker sat back. “We’ve got a house. It’s on the property, and we think we could renovate it for you guys.”

“I’ve never seen another house,” Brick said.

“We bought several acres on the east side of the property and added it to ours. We snatched it up when the old guy that lived there died. The house was on it, and we never figured out what to do with it.”

Hawk narrowed his eyes. “If we stuck around, what would we do? We’d need to earn our keep.”

“Do you have some money saved?” Striker asked.

Hawk nodded. “Yes.”
