She was going to have to do something about their diet, though she had to admit peanut butter and jelly sounded good after all the physical exertion of the last couple of hours.
Had it only been a few hours since she’d sat in her classroom worried she would lose Wyatt, and now she wasn’t at all anxious about this secret he had to tell her. She wanted to get through it so they could make a plan. They would discover she was excellent when it came to planning. She could organize a classroom. She could certainly organize revenge. Wyatt’s brother deserved some nasty revenge. Wyatt, however, wasn’t thinking straight. He was lost in his own fear and guilt. “Wouldn’t taking your brother down have implicated you?”
He hadn’t exactly wanted to launder money for his brother, but here they were.
“I could have cut a deal.” Wyatt stepped back, giving her space, though Bella danced around them both, taking up her own. “I could have smuggled out records and gone to a prosecutor my brother doesn’t own.”
Sawyer leaned against the doorjamb, winking Sabrina’s way. “Hey, Teach. You’re looking good. Need a bag of frozen peas to sit on?”
Sabrina felt herself flush. It actually sounded kind of nice, but she was trying to keep her dignity and she wasn’t showing up to a school board meeting with a cold pack against her ass. “I’m fine, thank you. I barely notice.”
Sawyer’s grin kicked into high gear. “Then I obviously didn’t do it right and we need to start all over again.” He sighed. “But first we should deal with Wyatt’s delusions about how the justice system works.”
No one needed a lecture on how hard it would have been to take down the Horde. “He’s feeling selfish for saving himself. But sometimes you have to in order to do more good in the world.” She dropped the towel and moved to where her suitcase sat, pulling out the clothes she would need for the evening.
“You do not have to put on clothes,” Sawyer murmured.
“It does feel like a mistake,” Wyatt concurred.
It was good to know she could make them both stop simply by being naked. She stepped into her undies. “What? Being clothed for the meeting in which I have to tell Stef Talbot he knows nothing about stocking a children’s library? Half the town will be there to complain about there being a full set of books on art history and only three Dr. Seuss books. Poor little Logan probably gets read Georgia O’Keeffe’s biography as a bedtime story.”
“I personally think you being naked would make the meeting way more fun.” Sawyer sat down on the bed, Bella between his legs as he stroked his big hand over her head.
“We could have it at Mountain and Valley.” Wyatt’s eyes watched her as she hooked her bra and reached for the black and blue floral dress she had picked out to do battle with the King of Bliss. It was her favorite since it had the deepest pockets.
“Nah. Then we’d all have to be naked, and I don’t like my junk swinging around,” Sawyer admitted. “Also, Max Harper gets a little crazy at those parties. Like he thinks it’s funny to dress his dick up and make it do tricks. We should have Sabrina explain to everyone she feels more settled naked, and then Nell will chuck her clothes, too, and Henry will lose his shit because he’s got extremely firm rules on where his wife’s breasts can be free. Then half the women will go bare breasted in solidarity, and Rachel will already be topless because she’s breastfeeding again and she’ll take the whole thing as an excuse to get rid of the drape she usually uses. And when Rye tries to cover her up, she’ll yell if he didn’t want her to breastfeed in public, he shouldn’t have knocked her up, and she’ll use her boob as a weapon. I’ve heard she can aim. Anyway, I’m only saying it will liven things up, Teach.”
Wyatt’s eyes had gone wide. “That is the most words I’ve ever heard him say at one time.”
She was taking Sawyer’s chattiness as a sign of good things to come. “He’s comfortable with us so he doesn’t hold back. However, there will be children there, so I shall forego the nudity and the chaos occurring after. I do not need my students knowing what my boobs look like. There’s a reason Mountain and Valley is adults only.”
“Yeah, it’s because it’s the only place some of those motherfuckers can get away from all the kids they’re having,” Sawyer complained. “Have you noticed? It’s like kids are everywhere. They’re running wild.”
“And yet you say you want five.” Maybe this would be an easier subject.
“I said if we’re not careful, we’ll have five.” His smirk told her he was fucking with her.
