Nelly gave him a flat look. "Oh, thank the goddess. That'll really help me sleep tonight."
"But," Kade added, his grin widening as he stepped into the room, "I don't promise not to tell Alpha Lucas how well you're spending his money."
"Meeeh, he won't mind," Nelly shrugged. "It's going to a good cause. And by good cause, I mean me, shaking a leg at the strip club tonight. Mama needs to get some excitement." She wiggled her eyebrows.
Kade pinched the bridge of his nose. "You're going to spend Alpha Lucas's money at a strip club?"
"Correction. My stipend. That man owes me more than enough for all the chaos he brought into my life." She tossed her curls over one shoulder dramatically. "Besides, it's girls' night. I need glitter, noise, and one over-oiled man in a cowboy hat. Don't judge me."
Kade sighed and quietly closed the door behind him as she sauntered off.
