After chatting with Angel for a few more minutes about it then cleaning up the kitchen together, Sarah and Angel jumped in the shower together and got ready for work. They were both scheduled for the noon shift at the restaurant.

Their shower was everything she’d expected—intoxicatingly arousing. She could hardly stand it as he’d kissed her deeply, his fingers alone doing things to her that nearly had her exploding. Then he lifted her against the shower wall with conviction, and she wrapped her legs around his waist eagerly. He slowed it down at first, and he stared into her eyes with that intense and lustful gaze he always wore when they were together like this. He took it so slowly at first it was driving her insane.

“Leo’s right,” he said, kissing her and sucking her lips as he lifted her a little higher. “My girl. . .” He thrust into her so deeply she moaned loudly, dropping her head back. Angel took the open invitation to suck her neck hard as he continued to thrust into her faster and even harder. “My girl is beautiful.” Nipping at her neck with his teeth, he thrust into her one last time as Sarah cried out in ecstasy. “So damn beautiful.”

Even though they’d been up early, their time in the shower had run a bit longer than they’d anticipated, and they were nearly late to work. Both were still in the back room of the restaurant, putting on their aprons, when Alex rushed in and stopped cold when he saw Sarah.

Sarah smiled, hoping the strange expression he wore wasn’t because he was mad about them being a little late. “I’ll be right out,” she said, hurrying to finish tying her apron.

“I thought you were off today,” he said, walking over to the schedule on the wall.

“No.” Sarah slowed, wondering if somehow she’d mixed up her scheduled days.

Angel peeked over Alex’s shoulder. “That’s tomorrow’s schedule, ass.” He laughed, looking back at Sarah and shaking his head. “Ready?”

Alex muttered something Sarah couldn’t make out, but she followed Angel out to the front of the restaurant without saying anything. Angel headed toward the bar while Sarah went straight to the front to let the hostess, Melanie, know her section was now open for seating. Two girls were the only ones waiting at the front, and Sarah grabbed two menus and dinner settings. “I can take them back,” she said to the hostess. “Is it just the two of them?”

“No, they’re not waiting for a table,” Melanie said then smirked, looking away from the girls. “They’re waiting for Alex.”

Sarah’s eyes shot open and began putting the menus back as she turned to the girls casually. Both were average height, dark haired, and dressed casually in shorts and tanks, but now that Sarah got a better longer look, she saw that both were very curvaceous and their short shorts left little to the imagination. Not to mention they both were top heavy and the tanks each chose to wear showed their assets off well. They even looked alike, and Sarah wondered if they were sisters. As casual as they seemed just moments ago, she knew if Valerie had anything to say about them she’d probably say they looked like sluts.

Alex walked out and met them, and if Sarah didn’t know any better, she’d think he was avoiding eye contact with her. “Enrique just texted me, Mel,” he said, looking exclusively at Melanie. “He’s around the corner. He was just running late, but he’ll be here to cover for me all day.”

Finally, he glanced at Sarah, who tried not to, but raised a brow in question. She knew as well as anyone that neither he nor Valerie had made any promises. But judging by the look on his face, he was thinking the same thing Sarah already knew. Valerie would be furious about this. He took the day off to hang out with not one but two girls after he’d all but ignored her for over a week?

To her surprise, Alex took a step closer to her and lowered his voice. “It’s not . . .” He looked away, a bit frustrated, and she now knew what the muttering was about in the back room. He hadn’t anticipated having to explain this to anyone. “It’s not what it looks like, okay?”

She stared at him then glanced back at the girls. Shrugging, she glanced back at him. “That you took the day off to spend it with them?”

“Yeah, but—”

They both turned when Angel walked out from the dining room into the small entrance. “We busy?” he asked, glancing at the waiting girls.

Just then a group of people walked in and another behind them. Sarah began reaching for the menus again. “Lunch crowd is gonna start,” she said.

Frowning, Alex turned away without finishing his explanation about the girls then walked out with them. “Isn’t he scheduled to be here today?” Angel asked Melanie.

“He switched with Enrique,” Sarah said with a lift of a brow. “I guess he had other things to tend to.” She turned to Melanie. “How many?”

“Six,” Melanie informed her, motioning to the group of patrons.

Sarah turned to them with a smile after grabbing the six menus and dinnerware. “Right this way,” she said, her eyes meeting with Angel’s somewhat annoyed expression.

There was no way Sarah would ever hold Alex’s actions against Angel. Her wonderful boyfriend had more than proven himself to be nothing like his brother when it came to commitment. Still, even though he’d never said it outright, Angel had a bit of a chip on his shoulder that maybe Sarah secretly thought he had it in him to be like Alex. She was certain he was thinking that her seeing things like this—Alex leaving with not one but two girls—didn’t help.
