the opposition.”
    Yeah, he usually did. He liked doing it because it annoyed his brother in law Javier to no end. “Just thinking about a job I lost.”
    “What? Someone didn’t hire you? Why not? Don’t they know you’re the best? Did you quote them too high? Wait, was it another one of those housewife’s wanting work done on their personal plumbing?” She arched a brow suggestively.
    Chris choked. “You did not just accuse me of being a handyman pimp.”
    “If the condom fits…”
    “You have a foul mouth. And to think you kiss your children with it.”
    “According to my mates, my mouth is perfect. And there’s nothing dirty about telling the truth.”
    Damn her, but she had a point. Yes, he did great work, but yes, he often got ridiculous calls from lonely women who needed a light bulb changed, then gave him a tip, usually on their knees. However, he drew the line at married women – most of the time.
    “Well, it wasn’t a wife wanting to hire me, but her husband. And he took one look at me, told me I was too young and slammed the door in my face.”
    “He didn’t.” She almost whispered the words, her eyes wide with shock.
    “He did.”
    “Did you kill him?”
    “I’m too classy for that,” he replied. He almost managed to say it with a straight face too, but Naomi immediately snorted, and he erupted into laughter. “Okay. I’ll admit, I might have clocked him if he’d opened the door back up. I had to content myself with leaving rubber marks in front of his house.”
    “Want to go back after the game and egg his house?”
    A chuckle left him as her suggestion brought to mind some of the pranks they’d pulled in their youth. “No. But thanks for the offer.”
    “Anytime. But seriously, I wouldn’t worry about it. Sounds like the client would have been a freakn’ douchebag to work for. Probably a good thing you didn’t get it.”
    “Tell me about it.” He knew that, agreed wholeheartedly, yet he couldn’t stop the dejection. “I don’t need that kind of hassle.”
    “So why are you mooning about it?”
    It occurred to him to deny her observation, but really, he was kind of gloomy. Without the job, how would he see the woman again? Find out why she drew him and his wolf. Should he tell his sister about his odd reaction to buddy’s wife? Get her opinion?
    Before he could decide, the game ended with a final buzz and a roar from the crowd. The home team won again thanks to Naomi’s mates, or as she affectionately referred to them, ‘my dumb jocks’.
    The baby chose that moment to wake with a stretch of chubby fists. Only a few months old and he looked around with a serenity his sister lacked. His nephew, Mark, inherited his daddies’ genes. Guess who took after their mother most? Chris’s mom liked to cackle that Naomi got just what she deserved in Melanie, a mini version of herself.
    I hope when I finally settle down and have kids , the y end up nothing like me. He didn’t think his paycheck could cover the damage.
    But thinking of kids somehow brought his mind back to the Asian girl and his wolf sent him a thought. Pups. His wolf seemed to think she’d make the perfect mother, and damn him if he couldn’t easily picture a girl, a miniature version of her mother that would wind him around her little finger. And a boy, with a gap toothed smile and shaggy brown hair, throwing him a football and –
    Smack!
    The ball hit Chris in the forehead and snapped his head back. Game over or not, his damned brother in laws thought he should pay attention. Never mind they saved him from his own thoughts. Chris needed to vent.
    With a growl, he leapt over the row of seats and tackled the players door into the arena. The impromptu chase and wrestling match with Javier didn’t really solve anything – the damned jaguar was light on his feet – but at least it changed his focus for a while. A fat lip, black eye and bruises all over worked as a great distraction – until he pictured his
