Chapter 41

Mitchell stalked over to his sister's bright and early the next morning, having prepared his speech to Javier's brother a good part of the night. When he entered Naomi's bright kitchen and saw her sitting, having breakfast with only her two mates, he didn't immediately clue in that Alejandro never returned the night before. Never mind the fact he'd heard Francine's invitation for the cat to sleep on her couch. As a good girl, he knew she'd come to her senses and send the Casanova on his way.

Addressing Javier, he said in his man of the family voice, "I need to speak to your brother about Francine."

Naomi arched a brow. "Excuse me, but what happened to hello, how are you feeling today? Or how about the basics, like knocking? Did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed today? Because I somehow doubt Alejandro did." Then she snickered, and her meaning filtered up to his brain, making a red haze drop over his gaze.
