get going?” I ask it like a question.
“Unfortunately, yes” Rafe rumbles.
Jensen scrubs a hand over his face and shoots me a heated look full of promise.
“Fine, I’ll be right out. Don’t think I’ve forgotten you promised me coffee and cake for breakfast” I say pointing to Riot.
“Sure thing, Sunshine” he smirks.
“We’ll go finish loading up the truck, the snow mobiles are already in the trailer and the trailers hitched, ready to go when you are, Il mio Cuore.”
“Alright guys!” I say as I pull the door on the closet closed and finished getting dressed, I make sure to dress warm since the guys said it will probably be snowing when we get there.
We are all going to be squished in a car though so I don’t bother putting my jumper on and instead carry it down the stairs with me, I’ve got a long sleeved thermal top on anyway so I’m plenty warm enough. When I get down there the guys are already waiting by the door and as soon as they see me they’re out of it and moving towards the truck, piling in. I get in my usual spot, Riot on one side and Rafe on the other. Riot immediately grabs my hand and pulls it on to his lap, I glance up at him and notice for the first time the dark smudges under his eyes. He must’ve had nightmares last night.
“It’s ok Riot, go to sleep” I say softly.
He bends down and kisses me softly before lying back and gripping my hand tighter. I lean my head on his arm and he relaxes more. Before we’ve even left the driveway he’s fast asleep. I chuckle and Rafe leans around me to see Riot and grins.
“Looks like I’m buying the coffee, he owes you” Rafe chuckles.
“Nah I’ll treat everyone this time, you guys got the coffees the last few times it’s my turn. He’s not getting out of it that easily” I chuckle.
The guys laugh too and Rafe reaches out and grabs my other hand, lacing out fingers together. I grin happily, I’ve been looking forward to this for so long, I can’t wait. I really hope Atlas turns up, for the guys but also because I’m super curious about him.
Rafe
I can’t help but run my eyes over Ever and Riot again, cuddled together and more importantly Riot fast asleep. We learnt that he could sleep without nightmares if I sleep next to him too and I love that me and Ever can do that for him. It’s not long before we get to the coffee place and all place our orders, I reach down into my bag and pull out a travel coffee mug. I ordered a coffee for Riot, he’s going to want it when he wakes but it’ll be cold by then so I’ll put it in the travel mug instead. Ever watches me grinning as I pour his coffee in it and I just shrug, before glancing in the mirrors.
Without letting go of Riot’s hand she leans over and pulls me down so her lips cover mine. When she pulls back, she grins.
“You are so sweet, I love it” her eyes widen slightly as she realises what she said and my heart pounds in my chest.
She grins wider and then turns forward taking a sip of her massive coffee.
My heart still pounds. It’s all very well that I came up with the plan for us all to be with her, after reading what quickly became one of my favourite Reverse Harem books but it won’t work unless she wants to be with all of us too. I don’t know if any of us could handle it if when it came down to it, she only choose one of us or even just a few to actually be in a relationship with.
That’s what we want, we want to be in a relationship with her. We knew she was it for us when we were kids, of course we didn’t realise the depth of our feelings for her completely until we were older and could understand them properly but still.
Asking her to be in that sort of relationship is not normal. She did help Kat, Rich and Marc out though which is promising but that whole thing still baffles me, you’d think we would have noticed something was there between the three of them. She also doesn’t show any favouritism between us, I’ve been watching and she doesn’t even seem to realise she’s doing it.
