Mason Wolfe (Wolfe Brothers #3) - Sandi Lynn Page 0,41
my lips.
As much as I loved and got along with the three of them, I felt like an odd duck with all of them being lawyers. What Jack told me weighed heavily on my mind, and Mason had every right to know who he truly was.
“I have a legal question for you ladies.”
“Of course, darling. What is it?” Caitlin asked.
“I have this patient and he told me something personal about his family. I think his intentions are wrong and his family deserves to know what he told me. It has nothing to do with him medically or what I was treating him for. It was strictly of a personal nature. Does that still fall under doctor patient confidentiality?”
“It depends,” Aspen said.
“Whatever this person told you, is it a threat to his family?” Allison asked.
“No. Not physically, at least.”
“What that man told you, he told you while he was under your care. Doctor patient confidentiality rules still apply,” Caitlin spoke.
“I figured. I just wanted to make sure.” I sighed.
We each made our tacos and took a seat at the table.
“Where’s Mila?” I asked.
“She’s with my sister for the night. So I figured since she wasn’t here and Ruby was with her grandparents, it would be a perfect night for all of us to get together and stay in and have a cozy girl’s night.” Aspen smiled.
“Of course, Nathan and Elijah weren’t happy about it since there are no children around. Those selfish men wanted us all to themselves.” Allison smirked.
“Pfft. They’ll get over it, and I’m sure you’ll more than make it up to them. I know I will even though my children are grown.” Caitlin winked.
“Speaking of men.” Allison spoke. “How are things going with Mason?”
“Good. He’s a great roommate. He’s clean, respectful, pays the bills on time, and he takes out the trash.”
“And the sex?” Caitlin’s brow raised and suddenly a sweat poured over me.
“Excuse me?”
“Sweetheart, it’s okay. We already know the two of you are sleeping together.” She gave me a smirk.
“How?”
“Well, you just confirmed it. It’s a little trick we lawyers use to get the truth out of someone.”
“Oh. Shit.” I bit down on my bottom lip.
“Spill it, sister!” Aspen grinned.
“Yeah, come on, Sara. Don’t hold back. We want details.” Allison smiled.
I looked at Caitlin in embarrassment as she stared at me with an arch in her brow.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m happy you’re sleeping with my son. In fact, I knew it wouldn’t be long before the two of you shacked up. My son can’t keep his dick in his pants for anything.”
I wanted to die. Even though she was the coolest woman I’d ever met, it still felt awkward talking about sex with her son in front of her.
“Please don’t say anything to Mason. We have rules.”
“Rules? Darling, what are these rules you speak of?”
“We have a friends with benefits relationship which consist of rules we put together. One of them being that we both agreed we would keep our relationship between us and not tell anyone.”
“Please.” Caitlin waved her hand in front of her face. “I’ve had many friends with benefits relationships in my time, and I wasn’t ashamed at all about it.”
“I’m not ashamed,” I spoke.
“If the two of you are keeping it a secret, you’re ashamed. So what, you have sex. Sex is a beautiful act and there’s no reason you two should hide it.” She grinned as she held up her glass of wine.”
“And how is your ‘friendship’ working out?” Allison asked.
“It’s great,” I tried to sound as convincing as possible.
Aspen opened another bottle of wine and refilled our glasses. I could already feel the alcohol hitting me hard.
“It’s okay if you’ve fallen in love with him,” Aspen said. “We’ve been there.” She pointed to herself and Allison. “We went down that scary road of love with the Wolfe men.”
“I have trust issues,” I spoke. “Major trust issues with men.”
“Darling, nobody has more trust issues than I do or did. Trust me. If you love my son, tell him. Time and life are precious, and you can’t let your past dictate your future. Believe me, I learned that the hard way.”
“Yeah. What she said,” Allison spoke.
“Honestly, I’m scared.”
“Well, I have the perfect way to clear your head.” Aspen grinned. “Come on ladies, let’s dance.”
She turned on some music and the four of us danced while we drank another bottle of wine. We moved around the living room, laughing and dancing the night away. I was drunk, and I didn’t
