“Where are we going?” I asked, glancing at him in the passenger’s seat.
“I’ll give you directions,” he promised. “Head towards Leona’s.”
I hated not having advance notice or being unable to review the directions before going anywhere. Scowling, I accepted that he wanted to surprise me, and I was just going to have to go along with it.
Since I hated traffic, I took the longer route to drive around the city instead of through it, and no one complained.
Nearing Leona’s, Caleb started to give me instructions on which routes to take. An hour later, we were deep within a forest, and pulled up to a huge iron gate with a symbol I had never seen before.
There was a keypad next to me and Caleb had me punch in four numbers. The gate swung open and we drove down a bumpy, dirt path, the tall trees towering over us.
The trees opened to a large clearing where three buildings stood. Two of which were still heavily under construction, but the main building was finished and I knew exactly what it was when I saw it.
“Our house,” I breathed and put the SUV in park. Climbing out, I stared at the house, the wrap around porch and balcony exactly as I had requested it.
The front door had that same symbol as the gate.
“Welcome to our new pack home!” Caleb said, his arms in the air as he walked backwards, a huge smile on his face.
“Whoa,” Triston breathed, “it’s huge.”
Caleb pulled a set of keys out of his pocket and jingled them. “Ember, would you like to do the honors?”
I shook my head. “You’re king, you should do it.”
He walked up to me, forcing me to tilt my head back to see his face, and whispered, “What is a king without his queen?”
My heart thundered in my chest. “I, uh?—”
Grabbing my hand, he gently set the keys in them, then spun around me, and pushed my lower back, ushering me to the front door.
I walked up the steps and ran my fingertips along the wood that still smelled freshly cut. To my right was the porch swing I had requested, and I felt tears in my eyes at the sight of it. There were two pillows on it, each with a rabbit outline.
Putting the key into the lock, I twisted it, and pushed open the door.
To the right was the sunken living room, two steps down, with a couch around the room and a huge rectangular cushion in the middle.
On the left was a dining table large enough to seat fifteen people. Straight ahead was the kitchen, large, full of brand-new appliances, and sparkling.
“It’s perfect,” I breathed.
“The only perfect thing about this place is you being here,” Caleb whispered in my ear and pressed a soft kiss to my ear.
Romantic Caleb was definitely one of my favorites.
“Let’s go look at the rooms,” I suggested and started to head that way, but they all rushed in front of me to block me.
“You can’t see the rooms yet,” Riddick said.
“They’re not ready,” Branson added.
Okay, so they were clearly doing something to surprise me.
“Okay,” I said and held up my hands, taking two steps back.
They relaxed and I used that distraction to try to run around them, but Triston snagged me around the waist, making me squeal.
“Not so fast, missy. I knew you’d backed down too quickly.” He nipped at my ear and I chuckled.
