Chapter 2
Up at the dinner table everyone was already in their seats and digging into their food when Quinn walked in. Everyone got quiet and looked up as tall warrior stepped into the room and pulled out the only empty chair at the dinner table and sat down. Yes, that chair was across from Blay. Mary cleared her throat.
"Hey Quinn, we have been wondering where you were, haven't seen much of you lately. You been doing okay? Here, Rhage will you pass these potatoes to him?"
Great. He didn't really want to come to dinner to catch up or strike up a convo. So much for being invisible and spying on Blay. "Oh I was down in the gym, and I've been here, there, everywhere I guess. And I'm not hungry, hard workout and all." He looked up and Blay was sneaking a peak at him. As soon as their eyes met Blay's face turned as red as his hair like he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar or some shit.
Mary just nodded her head slowly as if she was thinking really hard about something, opened her mouth to say something and stopped herself. Thank God. It wasn't like her not to speak her mind, but think the virgin for small favors.
He switched his eyes back to Blay to catch him whispering something to Saxton. Saxton leaned over to hear him then nodded his head and raised his eyes to meet Quinn's.
"So uh Quinn do you want to head to the Iron Mask after this with John, Xhex, Me and Saxton?"
Damnit. Mother Fuck. NO. "Yeah, sure"
"All right cool, we figured we could all catch up, it's been a while."
Everyone else was really quiet eating and trying not to look conspicuous while they watched us. Quinn had enough of that awkwardness and stood up, his chair making a loud screech as it flew backward. "I'm gonna head up to my room to change, see you in 20?"
"Yeah, that's fine." Saxton interjected before Blay could spit anything out, even though his mouth was open ready to answer. That beautiful mouth with his sharp canine's peaking out under his full red lips. DAMNIT. He did not want to think about that right now in front of everyone. He turned really fast and beat feet up the stairs to his room.
