I woke up warm and snuggled with the now familiar cinnamon and citrus scent all around me. “Why do I even have a bed here?” I mumble into Kotas shirt. “I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve used it.”
“Why do we have our own beds?” Cam shifts behind me.
“Another great question.”
I roll over moving to follow Cam out of bed.
“Five more minutes Smalls.”
Kota snatches me back and I laugh as he cages me in his arms.
“Dakota, I need to use the bathroom and get ready for training. The girls and I have stuff to get done at the school today. Let go and move your butt.”
I reach behind me and slap the side of his buttcheek and hear a sharp intake of breath, then he jumps out of bed, almost dumping me to the floor. “What the hell?”
Cam’s smile is from ear to ear. “Apparently, he likes to be spanked.”
Then he winks at me.
I can feel all the blood rush to my cheeks. My face is on fire with embarrassment. “I’m gonna go get ready.”
I mumble running out his bedroom door and straight to my own room.
Once there I head straight for the bathroom to shower. I don’t stop to grab clothes I just need to wash off the feeling of shame or unease or whatever this is. I hate feeling uncomfortable around these guys and the moments always come at the worst times.
I walk out to my room wrapped in a towel and drying my hair with another, not really paying attention.
“Yes Little Bit! Nice legs!”
“Oh, F*CK!” I jumped wrapping the towel around his throat while planting him face down on my bed. Causing Jena and Mateo to jump out of bed as well. “What are you doing in here?”
“I was just making sure everyone was awake, we need to get going so we can beat Kaley out the door.”
He grunts under me. “Nice reflexes by the way. Do you use a towel as a weapon often?”
“Just be glad she didn’t have her blades on her. You’d be a shish-kebob right now.”
Jena laughs at his expression as I let him up. “I’m going to jump in quick to wake up, give me five and we can go. Is Lil ready?”
“Yeah, she used Kota’s shower. You two might as well move your stuff up here. I mean if Luna Ava hasn’t already.”
“We do seem to have clean outfits each day.”
Jena says, walking into the bathroom laughing.
“I feel like we are on a recon mission, trying to find entrance and exit points.”
Lil laughs over the mindlink as I peek out the door from the third floor stairwell.
The coast seems clear and it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t. If she thought we had started sneaking around to avoid her, she would try that much harder to attach herself to the twins.
“That’s our next project. We need to hack into the contractor’s computer and find out what the hold up is on the Cunningham’s house. It’s been a year. Even if they did start over from scratch, it should be done by now. They need to quit stalling.”
“On it boss.”
Jena chirps back as we make our way down to the kitchen.
“Would you stop that? I am not your boss, Alpha.”
This time Jena giggles out loud.
“Is it bad that I am jealous that I can’t hear your conversations?” Sam asks as we walk towards the island where Lenny has a pile of foil wrapped goodness for us.
“Yes. You and your FOMO are something special. But we have to move, creatures are stirring and we don’t want to be here for that. Thank you Lenny! You are amazing!” I say running out the back door and the rest of my friends following.
We get halfway to the training grounds before I slow down and open one of my wraps. It is still steaming, filled with eggs and veggies, cheese and ham and I do not hesitate to devour it in about three bites.
