sister, my idol. I notice everything you do. And even though I hadn’t met Jake before, I knew he was special. You haven’t stopped talking about him since you met him.” She waggled her brows. “In a very sexy way, I might add.”
    “Jake’s a womanizer.” The words left her lips before she had a chance to think them through. It was her defense mechanism. She didn’t really know if he was a true womanizer. All she knew was the he own ed a strip club.
    “Do I need to slap you upside the head with that big ass mirror over there?” Letty snapped. “Is this the same guy who called me down at the lobby because you were so freaked out it worried him?”
    He had? This was all so new to her. Nic just didn’t know what to do. “Jake called you?”
    “Mm-hm. He didn’t just call me,” Letty said. “He ordered me to get my ass up here because his ‘mate’ was upset and he didn’t know how to make you feel better.”
    That just wasn’t like Jake. He was so laid back. So...chilled. Like nothing ever bothered him. From what she’d seen of him since she woke up it was like a whole new person. A much more controlled man with the sex drive of a God. He was such a dirty-talker. All she had to do was remember some of the things he’d said and her skin heated.
    “I guess you’re thinking of something good about him .” Letty raised a brow. “You got that whole ga-ga look on your face.”
    Nic inhaled sharply. “Look. I get that I got drunk and propositioned Jake—”
    “Married. You married Jake,” Letty drawled slowly.
    “Fine!” she growled. “I married Jake. We’re both adults. I’m sure we can figure this out without anyone having to lose a limb over pissing the other off.”
    Letty stood. She straightened her jacket and grinned. “Good luck with that one. While you try not to kill your new husband and become a widow in a single day, I heard the Alpha from the Vegas Pack hit on you last night.”
    “Oh, hell.”
    Letty headed for the bathroom entrance, stopped and turned to face Nic again. “Try to keep your new husband from bloodying the lobby. It takes forever to get that cleaned up.” She smiled. “So think about what it is you want. Oh, and remember you and I still have a date to visit the evil parents this evening.”
    “Like I’d forget ,” Nic mumbled.
    Letty twisted her lips. “I sure as hell tried to, but mom called. Repeatedly. There’s no ignoring her.”
    Nic nodded . She wiggled her toes in the cool water. Her feet didn’t look like giant hams anymore. “It’s fine. I’ll be ready by the time you get off.”
     

 
     
    “S o he left? And you haven’t seen him since?” Barbara asked, handing Nic a cup of coffee.
    She’d just gotten out of the shower when Barbara had knocked on the door wanting to know how Nic was feeling.
    “He left. Said he’d give me some time to myself so I don’t feel overwhelmed by him.” She sighed. She would’ve preferred for him to stick around and talk to her. Tell her how he felt. What he wanted. But no, he’d gone and any question she had for him would have to wait.
    Barbara shook her head. “Those boys. I swear I should’ve smacked them upside their heads more often. Maybe then they’d have listened to me.”
    Nic leaned back on the sofa. She’d put on a pair of sweats and a T-shirt, not ready to face the world by being dressed up. A new knock sounded on the door.
    “Stay there. I got it.” Barbara stood and opened the door. It was Jordan, Ellie and Emma.
    The three stopped when they got a good look at Nic.
    Jordan gasped. “Damn.”
    “Wow,” Ellie choked.
    “What the hell happened to you?” Emma asked bluntly.
    Barbara frowned. “She had a rough night.”
    “We heard,” Jordan chastised. “You couldn’t grab a phone and call us when you decided to pop the question? Apparently half the bar stopped dead in their tracks to listen to you.”
    “They cheered her on too .” Barbara chuckled. “It was very . . . entertaining.
