Excerpt 1
The cold water
shocked both men causing them to stop hitting each other.
“Look at the mess you
have made!” Courtney slammed the metal pitcher down on the counter top.
Both men stared at
her.
“Don’t you even think
for one minute that I’m cleaning this mess! You made it with your ridiculous
fight.” Courtney put her hands on her hips. “What do you have to say for
yourselves?”
Scott looked at Todd
then at himself. They were both covered with remnants of ruined pie, and they
were soaked from the water Courtney had thrown on them. Blood covered their
faces.
Todd looked at his
cousin, then back at Courtney. She was furious. She looked beautiful. Todd
started laughing. Instead of running away scared, his mate had taken it upon
herself to stop the fight between him and Scott, but she had done it in a way
that did not bring her near the danger of the two men fighting. Her bravery
pleased his bear, but it terrified the man. She needed to know her limitations
so she stayed safe.
“Are you laughing at
me?” Courtney’s cheeks turned pink, but her eyes flashed with anger. “Let’s see
how you are laughing when you two are cleaning this place, replacing the glass
in the display case, and baking more pies to replace the ones you ruined.”
“He started it.”
Scott pointed at Todd.
“He may have started
it, but you could have taken it outside.” Courtney plopped her hands on her
hips. “But did you do that? No! You started the fight in the middle of my
bakery. You destroyed the glass case and half my morning’s work. I hope you two
are proud of yourselves, especially you.” Courtney pointed her finger at Todd.
“You should be ashamed of yourself. You are a police officer. You’re supposed
to keep the peace. You shouldn’t be starting fights or destroying property.”
