Working Out West - Lila Rose Page 0,59

more.

“Besides, it’s not like you have to jump his bones right away. There’s other things you can do.” Kylo wiggled his eyebrows up and down. Both Lucas and I blushed. Kylo laughed in response.

All right, I could do this. I could get over my anxiety of Adrik being anywhere near my back. He liked me. He stayed at my side. He wanted me, and I wanted him just as much. I wouldn’t miss out on a chance to deepen what Adrik and I had, especially over my injuries that Adrik had already seen.

Nodding, I rubbed at my chest over my beating heart. “You’re both right.”

Lucas grinned. “Aren’t we always?”

“I wouldn’t go that far,” I told him. I replaced my T-shirt with the crisp white shirt. “This good?” I asked, holding my arms out for inspection. Lucas gave me two thumbs-up.

“If I didn’t have a man, I’d jump you,” Kylo said.

“Then thank fuck you have me,” Saint said from the doorway, glaring at Kylo. Lucas and I jolted, while Kylo just turned to his man and grinned.

“That’s true. I see no other besides you.”

Saint grunted. “Keep it that way. You ready to head out?”

Kylo shook his head. “I have to stay to see West off on his first date with Adrik.”

“Ah, no you don’t,” I said. There could be a chance I’d make a fool out of myself somehow, and the fewer people who saw it, the better.

Kylo grinned. “Yes, I do.”

“I’d really prefer if you all weren’t here,” I said, and picked up my bag from the bed. I started for the door as a grinning Saint stepped back to let me through.

“Now we definitely have to stay,” Saint said.

Shit.

Just as we rounded the door, there was a knock. My stomach swooshed. I glanced there to already see Wreck opening the door. I got a glimpse of Adrik before Wreck shut the door in his face again.

“Wade,” Lucas scolded.

Wreck sighed and opened the door again. “In,” he ordered.

I quickly moved that way. “That’s okay. We can just go.” Lord above, when my gaze landed on Adrik and I got a good look at him, my breath hitched, and I stumbled.

Fuck my fears. I would have a part of him tonight.

The suit he wore molded to his body nicely.

Chuckles sounded around me as Wreck stood in front of my exit. “Not yet,” he clipped over his shoulder at me.

“Wait, what?”

“What time will you have West home?” Wreck demanded harshly. Adrik just glared back at him.

“Dear God,” Lucas groaned and moved around me to place his hands on Wreck’s waist. “Wade, West is staying at Adrik’s tonight.”

“I didn’t agree with this,” Wreck stated.

“See, I knew staying long enough would be entertaining,” Kylo said. Saint agreed with a chuckle.

Oh, heavens above. Wreck acted like… like he was my father.

My throat thickened.

“I don’t like it,” Wreck grumbled.

“Thankfully, West is old enough to make up his own mind,” Lucas said.

“Enough,” Adrik bit out. “I have lived here for a few weeks—”

“And I didn’t like that either,” Wreck sneered.

Adrik snarled, “West is coming. I will protect him. Your small brain knows that, at least.”

Wreck actually growled under his breath. Kylo and Saint just laughed some more.

“All right,” I called. I shifted around Lucas and Wreck and stared up at the big man. “I appreciate your concern. I really do, but I’m going out with Adrik.”

Wreck’s jaw clenched. “Fine. But call if you need us.” He glanced over my shoulder. “I’d be happy to kick his ass if he does something you don’t like.”

“Oh my God, please stop,” I begged, and before I lost my nerve, I swept in and hugged Wreck quickly before facing Adrik. I didn’t want to see Wreck’s shocked gaze. I smiled softly. “Ready?”

“Da, moya lyubov’.” His hand shot out and took my bag for me before it came out once more for my hand.

“Have a good night,” Lucas called.

“I am sure we will,” Adrik replied, his tone tighter than usual as he stared down at me. Heat hit my cheeks, and when we started down the path, I tripped on nothing. It was lucky Adrik was there to catch me. Laughter started behind us, and I sent the middle finger over my shoulder.

“Dimitri’s coming?”

“Da. As he puts it, he is my head of security; I do not move without him knowing. He will watch over us.”

A shiver swept over my body. “Are you expecting trouble?”

We stopped at the passenger side to Adrik’s car. I waved to Dimitri in his own vehicle, which
