Wyatt passed Bennett and me each a beer before taking another for himself. “Ally’s my thing.”

“How does that work?” I asked. “Like, what if one of you ever meets your true mate?”

“We are true mates,” Wyatt said.

“They’re just incomplete,” Reid said.

“I don’t get it.” I looked between them.

“Neither do we,” Bennett said.

“Don’t worry, Felix.” Reid took a long sip of beer. “You’re safe with us. We won’t let anyone make a move on Bennett’s horned-up omega. And believe it or not, I’m also uninterested.”

“Now I’m wondering if I should be offended,” I said, looking back at Bennett.

He chuckled. “Don’t be. Reid has an omega who shows up regularly and then takes off.”

“Not exactly how it works, but close enough.” Reid shrugged.

“Okay, which one of you is going to tell me all the stories about Bennett?” I asked. “Because I came here tonight specifically for those.”

Wyatt snorted. “Doesn’t Ally give you enough dirt on him?”

“Sure, but I want the stories about the three of you getting up to no good that she doesn’t know about.”

“Bennett is the most responsible of us all,” Reid said. “These stories will be thoroughly disappointing.”

“Wyatt is the sheriff! How can Bennett be more responsible than that?”

“Wyatt was a little delinquent when we were teenagers.” Reid clapped him on the shoulder. “He was the one who started the annual tradition of breaking into the lake, bought us weed, he and Ally used to have sex all over town—”

Bennett groaned. “They still do, and it’s disturbing.”

Wyatt shrugged. “Your sister is an exhibitionist and I’m certainly not going to arrest her for public indecency.”

“Can you please stop saying that?” Bennett asked, dropping his forehead onto my shoulder.

I laughed. “That explains why she’s so loud when you visit and disappear into her office.”

Wyatt smirked. “Oh yeah. She really gets off on people knowing what we’re doing. Likes when people can hear her more than just about anything.”

“Wyatt,” Bennett said with exasperation. “Enough, please.”

“I’m not saying anything she hasn’t said to us a hundred times,” Wyatt said.

“That still doesn’t make it easier to hear,” Bennett said.

I squeezed Bennett’s knee. “I’m with Ben, I need to be able to work with Ally and look her in the eyes after this evening.”

Ally appeared at the end of our table with her arms folded.

How the fuck does she do that?

“I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to look at me given you’ve shown up for every shift this week smelling like you rolled in my brother’s bodily fluids and I’m able to make eye contact with you just fine,” Ally said.

Reid cracked up while Bennett shook his head.

“Hey, Ally,” Reid said. “Impending full moon making you bitchy again?”
