"I am so sorry Ro, but I have to work late tonight. I know I promised that we would eat dinner together but work has been so hectic I can't leave and..."
"Love, it is fine." Rowan cut off his wife's ramble with a chuckle.
"Really?" Raven asked breathlessly.
"Really Love. As much as I would have loved to have dinner with you, we cannot jeopardize your work." Rowan said as he wiped the kitchen counter down his arms flexing at the motion. He had just finished cooking dinner.
"Ro..." Raven whined almost in tears.
"I know you cooked and everything." She whined.
"Yes, yes I did. But you have work." He replied trying to pacify his wife.
"But.." Raven tried.
"No buts Love." He said with a tut as he dried his hands after the clean up with a satisfied hum.
Raven let out a sound of protest making Rowan snicker.
"Tell you what." He started as he walked to the living room.
"I will order you some food and have it delivered to your office so that my baby doesn't starve while working." He said as he sat down on the couch.
"You will! Thank you so much." Raven squealed out making Rowan chuckle at her excitement.
"Oh! I have to tell James that I am canceling our team dinner then." Raven said as an afterthought.
"Whoa!" Rowan exclaimed, "James? Which James? The. JAMES!". He barked out while sitting up.
"Ro," Raven said with a sigh.
"Love please tell me this is not the same James who tried to kiss you during your work Christmas dinner? Then tried to play it off saying he was drunk! Who gets drunk off one fucking beer?!" Rowan gritted out the grip on his phone getting harder and harder.
" Ro, it's just a team dinner. You know to celebrate the late nights of overtime we have all been doing and I am not even going anymore since you are ordering food for me. " She tried to explain.
Though her explanation did not reach Rowan at all.
"Raven. For the past two weeks have you been in the same office as that guy? alone? At night? " He asked calmly.
" We weren't always alone. " Raven said in a quiet voice.
Rowan could feel his jaw tick at Raven's words. He trusted Raven, hell he trusted her more than he trusted himself.
It was this guy.
Fucking James he did not trust.
He was one of those guys who had no boundaries when it came to personal space. Rowan remembers when he had attended one of Raven's office parties and caught him staring at Raven's ass.
To make matters worse, when James realized Rowan had caught onto what he was doing James fucking smirked at him and gave him a nod as if Rowan would find his actions flattering.
He remembers Raven having to pull him out of the office before he dislocated James' jaw. Safe to say he has not been to any more office parties with James invited.
