Jon leaned down and spoke to Mina.“Mina, this is Macy, and he’s going to take care of you.”
She shook her head and tried to move back.“I am so sorry, sir.I am going to call a taxi.I have my phone and money in my purse,” she said and tapped the small purse that had been across her chest all night.“You go back to bed.”

Macy’s eyebrows rose, and he bit the inside of his cheek to keep from chuckling.He didn’t want to hurt her feelings by laughing, but she was the sweetest thing he’d ever seen.“Miss, it’s no trouble at all.”
She shook her head.“I don’t think that’s right.It’s going to take half an hour just to get there.”
Macy looked back and forth between the men on both sides of her.He liked the twin blatant expressions of affection they felt for the woman.He had no idea where she came from, but he hoped she stuck around.
Koa bent and whispered into her ear.“You don’t want to hurt his feelings, do you?”
She gasped and raised a hand to her mouth.“No, never.”
“Then let him take you home.”
She looked from Koa to Jon and then Macy.
“Would it really hurt his feelings?”she whispered back to Koa.
Macy bit down hard on his tongue to keep from laughing.She didn’t seem to realize he could hear the whole conversation, even though they were whispering.
Jon nodded.“Yes, pet.Macy is very sensitive.”
She tore her gaze from Jon, nodded, and turned back to Macy.“I will accept a ride, sir, if you’re sure it’s no trouble.”
“No trouble at all.I’d like the company.I had to go to town anyway to stop at the store for ...milk.”It had been the only thing he could think of as an excuse for the trip.
She visibly relaxed and smiled brightly.“All right then.”She turned and held out a hand to Koa.
Koa’s mouth quirked as he grasped her hand gently.
“It was nice to have met you.I’m sorry if I caused any trouble.”
Koa squeezed her hand and smiled.“You didn’t cause any trouble.I promise.”
Her smile grew, and she nodded before she turned to Jon and did the same thing.
Jon looked down at her hand for a brief moment before grasping it in his much larger hand.
“It was nice to meet you,” Mina said and reluctantly pulled her hand from his.
She turned and walked to Macy, who opened the back door.She stiffened.“Can’t I ride up front with you?”
“Oh, well,” Macy stammered and looked at his bosses.He’d never had this happen.He smiled when they both nodded.
“I mean, if you don’t want to talk, I’ll understand,” Mina said.
Macy closed the door.“No, miss, I’d love to have the company.”
She laughed and rushed to the limo, opened the door, and sat before Macy could get there.The guys laughed at the disgruntled look on Macy’s face as he raced after her.Macy was able to get to the door and close it for her before walking around and getting in his side.
The men watched as the passenger side window opened.Mina waved at them before turning back to Macy.
“Are you belted, miss?”
“You have to call me Mina.”
