24 - Kennedy
“Would you mind terribly taking a picture?”
“Huh?” I know, super intelligent, but I blame the hot man in front of me for my brain being melted.
“I need a picture from the party tonight and Alpha Ryker is a little too rough around the edges. You would help soften his image up a little and you both match perfectly. Please? It will only take a moment.”
“What about me? I would look better as Alpha Ryker’s arm candy.” The brunette whines, fluffing her hair.
“That is the point Amy. I need Alpha Ryker to be the arm candy. Miss Kennedy is a warrior and can match his dominance. But, thank you. This way Alpha Ryker, Miss Kennedy.” I smile at the idea that the big ass Alpha is any sort of decoration, but I like the tactic Robin took. There was no obvious insult, unless you paid close attention to the words. Something I don’t think Amy is capable of.
She turns to walk away and Ryker gestures for me to just follow, he’s right behind me and Amy is audibly pouting behind us looking like a bubble gum pink disco ball deflated. It took everything in me not to laugh at the image.
We walk down a hall, through a door and down an additional hall. I think Robin is purposely trying to make sure that Amy doesn’t follow and I am completely lost at this point.
“Okay, I think we are safe now. She was not going to let you go for anything.” Robin laughs and this time I do too.
“So you don’t need pictures of someone dominating your Alpha? You are sneaky, remind me to stay on your good side.” I continue to laugh with Robin.
“No, but seeing as you are both here I should get a couple photos, just in case I need to prove my point. Let’s go here.”
“Why my office?” Did he just whine at her? Something to pack away for later. She opens the door to lead us in.
“Because I keep your office immaculate. Go stand in front of the desk.” She waves us over with a hand and we follow directions.
She takes a minute to pose us. I feel like I’m taking cheesy prom pictures, but I let her have her fun and she is living it up. I think she’s dragging it out because of how uncomfortable Ryker is too, so I start to play along more dramatically. I link our arms, lean into his shoulder. I even grab his forearm and tilt up like I’m going to kiss him on the cheek with one leg popped behind me. Robin snaps everything, giggling like a schoolgirl. For his part, Ryker’s face stays neutral, not happy or angry at the situation.
“Okay, that was fun, but I really should get to bed. I promised Greta and some of the guys that I would go to training in the morning.” I move to leave out the office door, but I get about two steps and turn around. “Can someone point me in the direction of my room? Your packhouse is like an endless maze and I have no idea how we got here.” I laugh a little so they know I’m not trying to insult them, I just don’t want to look like an ass getting lost or risk running into Amy lurking around.
