“What the hell does that mean?”

“It means you’re glaring at a twentysomething-year-old.”

“I’m looking.”

“With hostility.”

“With interest.”

Kristoff chuckled, maybe a bit gleefully. “They’ve been close friends for a long time. You won’t break that up.”

I looked at him. “My intent isn’t to break it up, but the boy could learn to maintain a respectful distance.”

“You’re jealous.”

I glanced back toward Sienna, who was laughing again.

Kai had apparently said something that had her folding forward, one hand pressed against her stomach.

I hated how easily he could do that.

Jesus, how could I not be jealous knowing those two… Fuck, don’t think about it.

My phone buzzed and I looked down at it.

Sienna: Why are you glaring?

I looked up.

She was already watching me with that little soft smile that had my heart acting erratically.

I glanced at Kai, then back at her.

Me: You’re mine.

She looked down at her phone. Her cheeks turned pink, causing me to smile. I did that.

I typed another message.

Me: Tell that pretty boy to practice social distancing, or he’ll be dead.

Her reply came instantly.

Sienna: You’re crazy.

I typed.

Me: Crazy for you. Now, tell Kai to give you some space.

She looked at me, her gaze sparkling, then she rolled her eyes.

From across the room, I mouthed, “Do it.”

She turned her back to me, so I typed another message.

Me: Turn around.

Me: I just want to see your pretty face.
