Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,137
Jensen grins and the guys look at him like he’s lost it but I’m too busy grinning to give a shit. “What?” he asks.
“She’s already met Ever, dumbass. Did you hit your head?” Atlas chuckles.
“Yeah but not as our girlfriend. Plus I just really wanted to say it out loud” he explains and my grin widens as the guys start to laugh.
“Come here” I say, as soon as he’s within reaching distance i tug him towards me and kiss him.
“Clever bastard” Atlas mutters and Jensen smirks against my lips.
“Jensen my boyfriend” I say quietly as I pull back making the feral heat flare to life in his gaze, “you’re right, that sounds so much better out loud.”
He grins, kisses the end of my noes and the grabs my hand as we carry on the hike.
Chapter Thirty-Three
The last leg of the hike is entirely up hill and I am no where near fit enough to be able to hold a conversation and walk up this damn hill at the same time. Fortunately none of the guys seem to be able to talk either so at least there’s that.
Finally we reach the top and it takes some serious self-control on my part, not to collapse into a gasping heap on the snow covered floor, the only thing stopping me is the stunning view. From here I can see for miles over snow covered trees and down over a raging waterfall and into a deep pool below.
I’m interrupted in my focus on the view when Jensen finally joins the rest of us and actually does collapse in a heap on the floor, breathing like he just ran a damn marathon, which is hilarious because not only does he never seem to break a sweat when he fights but he’s also a footballer.
I chuckle as I raise my eyebrow at him.
He gives me the middle finger and throws his arm over his eyes as a cheeky grin crosses his lips briefly before he starts breathing heavily again.
“This is my life now, I have climbed this mountain and now I shall die upon it” he says dramatically and I burst out laughing.
“Dude aren’t you a footballer?” I wheeze out between laughter.
“Jensen only ever does the absolute minimum amount of exercise in training” Trick comments and Jensen once again sticks his middle finger up making me laugh again.
Atlas chuckles as he comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me, resting his stubbled chin on the top of my head. I melt back into him as much as possible with my giant coat on. I’m happy to soak up as much of Atlas as possible before we have to leave later.
“Here you go Baby” Rafe says as he hands me a mug. I honestly hadn’t even noticed he was carrying a backpack. “Hot chocolate” he adds as an explanation.
“Thank you, Big guy” I grin taking a sip as he hands some out to the others.
“Did anyone bring their phone, I forgot mine?” I ask.
“Yeah I did, but you won’t get signal out here” Cash replies.
“I want to take some pictures, other than Rylie you guys are all I talk to anyway” I laugh.
He hands me over his phone and I spend ages taking pictures of the guys messing about and I even manage to get selfies of me and each of the guys. I want those ones printed.
It’s not long before an epic snow ball fight breaks out and I have never been more glad not to be a girly girl as I take a dive, rolling across the snow in order miss the one aimed at me by Luc. As soon as I have my feet under me again I launch a snowball back hitting him in the centre of his chest. I grin as Trick calls out good shot to me and quickly take cover behind a tree as Luc recovers from my attack and starts to return fire.
“Don’t worry, Ever, my girlfriend” Jensen yells and I roll my eyes.
“Seriously?” I call chuckling, “you can’t just call me that from now on!”
“Why not, it’s true” he shouts back, “stop arguing with me woman, I’m trying to be a hero” he yells making me laugh.
I watch, peeking around the tree as Jensen gathers a giant snowball in his hands, ducking behind a giant boulder as Luc starts to focus his attack on him. Jensen winks as he brings the ball to his mouth and mimes biting the pin out of a grenade.
