betting that she’s wild as hell in bed.”
Xavier growled, his cat not liking how Vance was talking about Charise. “You think that you’ll be the one to take a bite of that juicy secretary?”
Taj scooted his chair back and waited for what his friend would say. He obviously hadn’t caught onto the dangerous undercurrents. “Vance.”
Vance just grinned at Taj. “I wouldn’t mind having a taste of her but then I’m not looking for a forever type kind of girl like her either.”
Xavier growled louder, drawing back his fist only to be cut short as Xerxes launched himself across the table at Vance, Xander not far behind. They rolled across the floor exchanging blows.
Graeme walked up next to Xavier. “Should I tell everyone that the new secretary is off limits?”
“That’d probably be for the best,” Xavier growled.
Graeme chuckled. “I never thought you three would find your mate, and have the same one to boot.”
“I’m not so sure she’s our mate,” he replied.
Graeme looked at Xavier thoughtfully. “I think you have. You just haven’t accepted it yet.” With those parting words he went to break up the fight.
Chapter 5
“Good morning,” Charise said as she walked into the front office, carrying her bag of belongings and a large coffee. She stopped in her tracks, looking around at the complete makeover the office had received. The walls were no longer a glaring white color, they were now a soft aqua green color. There was now a plush love seat up against one wall with a coffee table sitting in front of it and sitting just off to the right of Xavier’s office door was a beautiful cherry oak desk with what looked to be the newest computer and printer setup sitting on top of it.
“Good morning beautiful. Do you like what Xander and I did to your office?” Xerxes asked.
“You didn’t have to do all of this for me,” Charise said. She was touched that they took the time to decorate the office for her.
“Sure we did, someone refuses to share his desk with anyone,” Xander said, walking into the office from the breakroom.
“I share almost everything else. Why should I share my desk?” Xavier said as he came from the confines of his own office.
Charise was disappointed that they only did this because Xavier didn’t want to share his desk. She cleared her throat. “I believe you mentioned going over my hours and pay.”
“Yes I did.”
“I work 8-5 Monday through Friday and nothing less than $40,000,” Charise said, putting her bag on the desk.
“$40,000! How much was Jack paying you?” Xavier asked.
“$86,000.” Charise smirked as Xander choked on his coffee and Xerxes sat down on the loveseat heavily. “As I said, fighting off ex-lover's cost more.”
“We only have one ex-lover that you have to fight off, unlike someone else we know,” Xander snorted.
“Who would this woman be?”
“Nadia Queen.”
Charise choked on her coffee and sputtered as she tried to catch her breath. “Why would you get involved with that psycho?”
“She’s beautiful and sophisticated,” Xavier muttered.
“Boy she’s got you fooled. She’s made of plastic with a pussy full of teeth. Once she thinks she has them sunk in deep enough she starts making every female around her miserable, no matter how old or even if they’re mated,” Charise said.
Xander snorted. “That’s an accurate description of her.”
Xerxes looked at her curiously. “Why would you describe her like that?”
“She tried to date Jack once but he was with one of our college intern at the time. Nadia went ballistic and attacked the poor girl. Nadia left her with horrific gouges across her face. It took three days for them to fully heal. If she hadn’t been a shifter Jack would’ve had to pay for a lot of cosmetic surgery.”
“Shit,” Xander said.
“And the part about her pussy?” Xerxes asked with a smirk.
“Once you put your cock in you have to take a crowbar to get her to let go of
