Kind of, maybe.
Both of them had the same mother, but different fathers.
Aella’s father, Cakes, just found out that she was his, as a matter of fact.
“I feel like I should go order food.” Milena stood up and said, “You want anything, sugar pie?”
Cutter shot his wife a look. “Don’t call me that.”
“Snookums?” She batted her eyelashes.
“No.”
“Toots?” she pushed.
“Milena Clayborne…” he growled.
Milena walked off, giggling.
“She didn’t get your order,” I said around a mouthful of the best sandwich I’d ever tasted in my life.
I had no clue I had a thing for grilled cheeses until I came here.
Now, I couldn’t imagine going a single day without one.
“I feel like, possibly, it was me,” Silver said. “I think we passed her on the road.”
I frowned. “We did?”
“Yeah.” Silver nodded. “When we were riding. Thanks for the ride, by the way. I have to ask Webber if he’ll take a look at my car when he gets back in town.”
I thought about that for a long moment then decided that her being on the back of my bike couldn’t be why she was mad. Hell, there were times I wondered if she even saw me as a man.
I looked up and spotted Milena at the counter with Searcy.
Searcy was writing on a notepad with one hand, and digging at her chest, between her breasts, with the other.
I frowned and watched harder.
Searcy lifted her shirt slightly, and I saw a glint at her navel just before her forearm snaked up the inside of her shirt and started to fidget with her chest again.
She came back out with a round wire.
“What the fuck was that?” I asked.
“What?” everyone asked at once.
“She just pulled some sort of metal contraption out from under her shirt,” I said. “It’s in her hand.”
“That’s an underwire, dummy.” Silver snickered. “Most bras have underwires. Sometimes if you wear the bra a lot, the wires will poke through the fabric and start digging into your skin. She probably pulled it out because it was gouging her.”
“Oh.” I felt kind of stupid.
Logically, I’d known that there was some sort of support in bras, but I hadn’t realized that they were metal.
Jesus.
There was laughter at the counter, and when I looked up, Milena was pulling out her phone and showing Searcy something.
