Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate (Adelaide) novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192

Carter

I woke up before her and managed to scrape up enough salvageable groceries to make her

breakfast. She sauntered in looking breathtaking with her sleep–mussed hair in nothing but

one of my teeshirts as it fell over one shoulder. I watched her as I placed food in front of her

and took my seat. My cell rang and I answered, seeing that it was Mazzie.

“Carter, we have a problem.”

“How much time do we have?”

“Not that problem. I didn’t want to bother you, but it’s Mrs. O’conner, she called, ranting, and

she’s not cooperating; she wants to see you, only you. She says the rest of these fools,

including me, don’t believe her and are going to make a mockery of her.”

I sighed and leaned back. I looked down at myself and glanced over at Briar. I smelled like I

had been rolling in her scent for weeks. Frankly, I loved it, but it wouldn’t serve our needed

low profile.

“I can’t be around anyone else right now. You have thirty minutes to get everyone out before I

get there. I’m bringing Briar, I’m not leaving her alone.”

“You sure that’s a good idea? Anyone can see you two together.”

“Just tell them I wasn’t ready for the fun to be over, if anyone asks, feel free to embellish,

you’ve already set the tone up for that.”

“You sure you want to do that?”

“You have my blessing to make things sound as filthy as you want them to. Gives them

something else to talk about than what it really means.”

Briar’s eyebrow cocked up as she looked at me. Her eyes narrowed as she stuffed a mouthful of

eggs in her mouth. I winked at her, and she stabbed a sausage off my plate. I kept meeting her eyes as I told Mazzie we would be there soon. She cocked her head, waiting for me to explain,

but my eyes got distracted by her mouth. She snapped her finger up by her face, and I looked

up at her on command.

“What’s going on, Carter? And what needs to sound filthy?”

“Oh, I have to go see a crazy lady, and you’re coming with me, because I’m not taking

chances.”

“But isn’t taking me anywhere a chance?”

“Yeah, but at least we will be together. Oh, and if you hear any rumors about yourself, it’s my

fault. I figured I would stir up the natives and get them invested in some scandalous drama.

The whole force knows Lana has a ‘thing‘ for you; let’s just say it was a lie that allowed an

idiot to keep his life on my worst of days. It will explain why Lana, Mazzie, and I are always

around you,” he said and it will not arouse suspicions that we are mates if we are mixing

others into the equation.”

“So what am I supposed to do, stick my tongue down Lana’s throat for show?” she asked,

pointing her fork at me while I finally started eating. I about choked.

“Only if you need to make a point, but you too are touchy–feely enough, Lana isn’t like that

with anyone else but Mazzie, so it should be enough,” I said. I’d suffer her and Lana making

out before I raised suspicions right now.

We ate quickly, and Briar pulled her pants on that still sat on the kitchen floor from yesterday

on before she ran upstairs to brush her hair while I followed and pulled on my uniform. 20

time. She said, guiding me to the back of the house. I knew this was yours. I didn’t want the others to find it. You’re going to need it.”
