Chapter

Two

Athena followed Deidra into The Hen, trying to pull her shirt up to cover her boobs that her bestie was determined she show off. They were definitely two different personalities of women who somehow became the best of friends.

Deidra believed in flaunting what she was born with. Along with her five foot five height, she was blessed with a toned framed that carried an impressive rack and a peach shaped ass.

The woman had a body that Athena was insanely jealous of. She knew Deidra not only loved to run, but she worked out in the gym when she could.

Things Athena avoided. While Athena watched what she ate, mostly, she indulged at least once a week.

Yet, no matter what she did, she was overweight for her height of five feet two inches. Deidra said she was pleasantly plump with nice tits and an ass she herself would kill for.

She highly doubted it, but her bestie said she was the modern-day Marilyn Monroe, without the sex scandal and the mole. Or the white-blonde hair.

“Stop fidgeting and leave the girls alone. Live a little for a change. I’m here with you and I won’t let just any random loser flirt with you.”

“So, you’re saying you’d let a known loser flirt with me?” Athena baited her with a quirked eyebrow.

“No smartass! There’s a difference between being a snack and a meal. You, my dear, sweet, pain in the ass bestie are a five-course meal that a man needs to savor and earn. He needs to be starved for you to truly enjoy your offerings.”

“I hope like hell you’re not claiming to be a snack!” Athena glared at her best friend.

“Oh, baby, I’m not just any snack. I’m a delicacy dessert. If I choose to let the prize for the night to have it.” Diedra winked at her as she led them to a table.

“You’re in a good mood now, compared to our conversation at lunchtime.” She observed her friend smiling at others.

“I’m doing way better. Mom and Dad called me at work. Dad took a few days off this week. Anyways, they called to tell me that fucknuts is not getting his greedy paws on the company like he wants.”

“Your dad changed his mind about retiring?” Athena asked, smiling as the picture of the older gentleman came to her mind.

Athena loved Deidra’s parents. She’d met them several times through the years, and they treated her like one of their own.

Deidra’s parents always invited her to family dinners, events, and holidays. Even her siblings loved her.

Well, the ones she has met anyway. Of Deidra’s five siblings, she’s met all but one, the oldest of them all. She can never admit to her best friend that the photos she’s seen of her oldest brother are part of her spank the clit bank.

In the ten years she and Deidra have been friends, she’s never met the elusive family member, but she’s seen several photos that she’s saved to her phone thanks to the texts from the woman. Those photos got her through many a lonely night with her trusty clit vibrator.

God help her if she ever meets the man in person. She’d never be able to show her face to their family functions again.

“Draco is coming home to take over the company. With Dad’s permission, they are merging the two companies into one which works out perfectly, to be honest.”

“The elusive one? What kind of company does he have that can be merged with your dad’s?”

Well shit! There goes her showing her face at family functions ever again.

“As you know, Draco is prior military. He was special forces or some shit that was hush hush. When he got out, he decided to start his own security company. He owns his own multi-million-dollar business. They specialize in setting up security systems, both building and technical, internet for example for clients. They also do bodyguard work and search and rescue now and then too.”

Athena watched Diedra flag down a waitress for them to order their drinks as she explained what her brother did. She had no idea what any of it meant.

“I knew it was slut night, but seeing these two, I guess The Hen isn’t selective on the sluts they allow in.”

Athena rolled her eyes at the male voice that sounded behind her as Deidra growled low in her throat. It was a toss-up who hated her brother and his asshole friend more, her or Deidra.

“There are so many things wrong with your sentence structure in that asinine statement you just made, but it’s not worth pointing them all out,” Athena responded as she turned toward the voice, wishing she could disappear into thin air.

“Hooked on phonics didn’t help the high school dropouts, obviously. If any chick hooks up with you two, she’s either drunk, high, ugly, or all three at the same time.”

Athena had to cough to hide her laughter. She knew if she laughed, there would be hell to pay later on.

“What are you two doing here? This isn’t your territory, Maplewood,” Deidra demanded, making Athena look her way.

“Word is, you won’t even run this town pretty soon, cunt. Word is there’s a challenge for a new Alpha going out from my old man to yours!” Robert Maplewood smirked nastily at the two women.

“Oh, please. Yes, your waste of space father did challenge my father. But he was informed he would have to challenge me, as my father, not only hand over the reins of his business to me, but also his Alpha title as well.”

That voice! Holy shit on a cracker she just came in her damn underwear.

“Draco!”

Athena watched as Deidra jumped up and ran around the table and jumped into the man’s arms, giving him a big hug. She had to look away before she allowed the jealousy to take hold.

W…T…F! Jealousy?

Where the hell did that come from? He’s her fucking brother for fuck’s sake!

“Draco, meet my bestest friend in the galaxy, Athena. She’s the hottie I’ve been telling you about all these years. Athena, this is Draco, my oldest brother.”

When Draco’s eyes landed on hers, Athena suddenly felt like Little Red Riding Hood about to get devoured by the big bad wolf. Too bad shifters weren’t real.

If they were, then she would love to be eaten by this wolf. Lord help her, she was going to hell with her wanton thoughts, but, fuck what a way to go!
