Rissa. Cherri calmly walked to the other side of the room and crossed her arms over her chest and smiled at her sweetly. She should have seen it coming, but she was thinking about being in her shuttle with Kade for a long period of time.
Rissa smacked her upside the head and then grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back and pushed her to the ground. Calli didn't resist; she hated bruising up her friends, there were too many questions.
"Bitch, how could you not call us the second you found your mate? Do you even remember the whole blood sister promise? I cut my fucking hand for that, and you know how I hate blood," Rissa screamed into her ear. She could see Cherri's black boots come into view and worried for a second she was going to get kicked in the face.
Cherri bent down though and got on her level and grinned evilly, "You know what this means?"
"Damnit, we were pups when we made that deal, I will not be forced into walking nude down the street just cause ya'll have your panties in a wad," Calli ground out.
Cherri frowned and looked up at Rissa, who applied more pressure to her arm. "BLOOD!" Rissa cried, and put a knee in her back.
"Now, we don't want to hurt you, but we will. A blood oath is a blood oath. And we also need to have all his info in ten minutes, so we can do the required background check. Including his email, so we can send the required form for him to fill out. You know the drill; we all agreed," Cherri said calmly then grabbed her hair and pulled. "Damnit, you promised."
Calli groaned into the floor, pushed backward and laughed when Rissa began to screech and crab crawl back away from her. Cherri rolled her eyes and held onto her hair and said, "I will pull it out by the roots."
"Fine, but he's gonna think you're all crazy and then what?" Calli sniffed and put her hand up to her face. "He's my mate, my one true love. What if you scare him away?"
Cherri let go of her hair; Rissa quickly crawled back and they both hugged her and tried to soothe her. Calli was biding her time, and peeked through her hands.
"We were just kidding, honey, of course we would never embarrass you like that. We would wait until he knew us before we did that," Cherri crooned.
"Dumb asses!" she cried and grabbed them both around the neck and squeezed. Both girls screamed; they ended up on the floor in a heap. That's where her new mate found her. Boy, could she make a first impression. Wait, not mate, new Enforcer. He entered without knocking. She growled and stood up.
"Seriously, GI Kade, this is how it works. You knock on the closed door, wait on the other side for me to politely tell you to enter or fuck off. If I allow you to enter my office, you will wait until I open the door. Are we clear?" she yelled.
Cherri and Rissa still sat on the floor gaping up at her. While Kade grinned and held out his hand to each of the girls. "Hi, I'm Kade Milgren, please call me Kade; I'm pleased to meet my mate's friends. I understand we will all be sharing a home. So I would like to get to know you more."
Cherri and Rissa both fawned over him. Really? Asshole, he knew just what to do; they were her weak spot. She growled at him, and he looked at her with a surprised expression. What a fuckin' faker. Both of her friends glared at her, and she knew they were going to yell at her later.
"Guys, we have to get going," she said and pulled her vest from the back of the door.
Cherri and Rissa both flipped her off and then said a nice 'see ya later' to Kade. She laughed and turned toward the door; Kade blocked her way out. Damn it, she just wanted to work; she had so much to think about. Someone wanted her dead, and all the other shit. She did not have time for a knock down drag out with this guy. She hated shifter men. They thought just because they were your mate; women would fall on their backs with their legs open wide and cry 'do me'.
Well, she had a surprise for him. Not happening. She refused to be like all the other women and
