“Noah.”I melted.It was good his arms were still around me because suddenly my knees were weak.“Is there a storage closet around here?”

“Right, uh, you guys?”Jesse laughed.“I can speak from personal experience that storage closet encounters can get messy.And awkward for your coworkers.Especially since we all know you’re together now.”

I groaned and buried my face in Noah’s chest.Of course they heard that.It was no big deal.I just wasn’t ever going to be able to look either man in the face again.

“Also, we all kinda guessed about this a while ago,” Chase drawled.“You two weren’t exactly as secretive as you think you were.”

“Oh yeah.”Jesse laughed.“Anyone looking at the two of you could tell you were fucking.”

“That’s hilarious coming from you.”Chase poked Jesse’s side.

Yup, it was official.I was never going to be able to look at any of them again.

“Right.Could you all cool it?”Noah asked, his chest rumbling against my ear with his deep voice.“Not everyone is as free and open as you two.”

“Hey, we’ve never been in a devil’s threeway.”Jesse scoffed.“Can you say the same, princess?”

Noah growled.“Are you trying to get me into trouble with my lady?”

Oh.I blinked a few times as I absorbed this new information.

“Asshole,” Chase bit out followed by a smacking sound.

“Ow.”

“What’s going on?”Xander’s voice joined in.“Shouldn’t we be doing church right now?”

“Yup.I’m late.”I gave Noah a squeeze then popped out of his embrace and gave the group a general wave.“Gotta finish setting up.You all…as you were…”

And then I booked it down the hall, embarrassed to my core over that whole exchange.I definitely couldn’t look any of them in the face again for a long while.

But I’d have to eventually, since they were my boyfriend’s best friends.

My boyfriend.Noah Hawker was officially my boyfriend.

My embarrassment turned to glee.And I was happy as I got back to setting up.

Chapter 28

Noah

“Asshole.”It was my turn to smack Jesse, but all I could reach was his stomach since he dodged me.

“Hey, I’m sorry.”Jesse laughed, raising his hands.“It slipped out.”

“Right when I finally got Alice to admit we were together?The first woman I’ve given a shit about in years?”I shoved him.“You’re an asshole.”

“He’s not wrong.”Chase raised his eyebrows.

I elbowed Jesse in the stomach.“Who?”I asked.“Me or him.”

Chase looked back and forth between us.“Technically both of you, but I’m firmly Team Noah.That was fucked up, Jesse.”

Jesse groaned and rubbed his stomach where I’d tapped him.“It was an accident.I swear.”

“Whatever.For the record, past sexual shenanigans are off limits.”I glared at him.“Unless you want me spilling to your wife about all the stupid shit you used to do too.”

Jesse’s mouth closed with a click of his teeth and suddenly he didn’t find the situation all that funny.
