Between Embers (Lost Kings MC #5.5): A Companion To White Heat: Three Short Stories - Plot & Excerpts
I’m up at this hour so I can run home and pick up Heidi. I’m not expecting to run into the bride in the kitchen.“Oh, Teller. You startled me.”I run my gaze from her shiny robe, shorts, over her bare legs, and down to her fluffy slippers. “What are you doing in here?” My voice comes out harsher than I mean it to, so I force a smile.Hope sets a carton of milk down on the counter. “I don’t know. I was going to eat breakfast, but I’m too nervous.”“As long as you’re not plannin’ a getaway.” I was trying to be funny, but I just sound like an overbearing jerk.She ignores me and pulls a loaf of bread out of the fridge, popping two slices in the toaster. “Do you want anything?”“Coffee.”“You’re on your own there. Every time I try to make coffee, it tastes like burned beans.”“Trinity’s the one who knows how to make the coffee.”She chuckles softly. “Yup.”“So, you happy you’ll be out of the clubhouse after tonight?” Again, I sound more like a cop interrogating her rather than the respectful way I should talk to my president’s ol’ lady and I’m not sure why.“I don’t think the house is ready for us yet.”Prez said it would be ready tonight.
