We had just sat down at a table when Cullen’s eyes lit up, and he waved his hand. I turned to see Rio walking toward us. He came over and slid in beside Cullen and directly in front of me. His eyes locked on mine, and I glared back at him. I hadn’t invited him to lunch.
“Have you ordered yet?” he asked me.
“No, we just sat down!” Cullen told him.
Rio shot him a smile, then swung his gaze back to me. “Good. I’m starving.”
“We didn’t know you were coming too,” Cullen said and took the crayons the waitress had set on our table with the menus. “I want the cheeseburger, fries with cheese sauce, and a chocolate shake,” Cullen told me and then began coloring his paper menu.
“That sounds good to me,” Rio replied to him but didn’t stop looking at me.
I decided to break the staring contest and picked up the menu.
“You always get the bacon cheeseburger, medium, with no ketchup and a side of fries,” Rio said.
I knew what I always got, but right now, I wanted to look at the menu and not him. He continued to stare at me, and I went on ignoring him. I didn’t want to be mad at him. I wanted to look at his dimple that I loved so much.
“Did you tell Aunt Bryn about how you got to help me pick the blueberries?” Rio asked.
“No, he didn’t,” I replied. “Did Vicky help you too?” I didn’t look up when I asked it.
“No, just me and Rio,” Cullen answered. “We picked two big baskets of them. Huge baskets.”
The heat from Rio’s stare was making it hard for me to concentrate on the menu. I closed it, deciding to give up looking at it, just as the waitress appeared and took our orders. Rio gave her his and Cullen’s order, then looked at me.
“Bacon cheeseburger, medium, with no ketchup, fries, and a water please,” I said and then studied my hands in my lap while Rio watched me.
“Couldn’t find anything new you wanted?” he asked me with a smile in his voice.
Damn him. What did he have to smile about? He was going to ruin lunch. At least for me. Cullen was thrilled he was here.
“Hey, Drake,” Rio called out.
I wanted to roll my eyes. Now, we had Drake to add to this lunch.
“Y’all had the same lunch idea,” Drake said, and I smiled at him.
“Yeah, uh, would you sit with Cullen a minute? I need to help Bryn get something out of her eye.”
What? My eye?
“Sure,” Drake replied.
“I don’t have any—”
Rio took my arm and pulled me up.
“Yeah, you do,” he interrupted me, then held on to my arm and walked me toward the restroom doors.
I started to protest when he opened the door and pushed me inside, then locked it.
He forced me to back up against the sink and then placed his hands on either side of me, caging me in. “Do you have any fucking idea how damn hot it is that you’re jealous?” he asked me, then leaned in and rubbed his lips over my jawline. “Jesus, you drive me crazy,” he muttered. “As if there were any other female on this planet who could compare to you. But if you want to get jealous, then please feel free. My dick is so fucking hard right now; there is going to be a zipper imprint on it.”
I shoved him back off me before I started panting and letting him do whatever he wanted. “She was flirting with you, and you were letting her. You were encouraging it! You liked it.”
He grinned and picked me up and sat me on the counter. “Keep it up, and I’m gonna have to fuck you right here,” he said, then leaned in and ran his tongue along my bottom lip.
His hands slid up my thighs and inside the legs of my shorts.
“Do you like her?” I asked, feeling pathetic.
He stopped and looked at me, a wrinkle between his brow. “What?” he asked me.
“You heard me.”
“No man who has you in his arms and his bed is going to want anyone else.” He smirked after he said it. “There will only be me though. No other man is gonna get to find that out.”
“She was flirting with you. You were letting her,” I pointed out, although I was losing my steam, the more his fingers moved higher.
“No, I wasn’t. She might have been, but I swear, that was not how I flirt.”
“You laughed at something she said.”
He frowned, then nodded. “Yeah, she told me about Cullen coming out of the bathroom and announcing to Hazel that he had a really big poop and felt much better.”
I laughed. He grinned.
“Let’s go eat, then get Cullen down for a nap, and you can act jealous again while I fuck you in the shower.”
