And wetter.

My thighs were pressed tightly together, and I’d decided I couldn’t be annoyed about his erection. It was obviously the heat’s fault, because I was equally turned on.

August opened the Hummer’s door, then lifted us both out. His arm remained around my waist as he set me on my feet.

Bash stepped up next to Brynn, tucking her smoothly against his side. They moved together so naturally, I had a hard time looking away from them.

“I don’t want Bash’s scent in your house while you’re losing your mind,” Brynn said. “We’ll sit on the porch until Jasper and Elijah get here, as long as Elodie’s okay with that.”

I opened my mouth to tell her I wanted her inside with me. Before I could say anything, she added,

“But, I should probably mention, we can see the lust blazing off both of you. It’s a demon thing. We can’t drink your lust, because we’re mated, but you should know.”

I slowly closed my mouth.

I had questions.

So many questions.

But considering the uncertainty of the situation, I didn’t vocalize any of them.

August answered for me. “The porch works. We’ll leave the door open.”

With that, he walked me to the house’s entrance. It looked more like a cabin to me, but I didn’t say that out loud. It was one story and mid-sized, with dark green siding and large windows. The porch that wrapped around it held my attention—it would be an incredible place to work on my computer, given its undisturbed view of the forest.

When he typed the code into an electronic door lock, he didn’t try to hide it from me.

0316.

The door swung open, and I looked around the inside.

There were pretty, dark brown wood floors.

Grayish-white walls, without pictures on them.

No furniture that I could see.

Brynn remarked from behind us, “Do you even have a bed, August?”

“Yep. A mattress on the floor.”

She sighed.

“I’ll get someone out here to furnish it in the next hour,” Bash said.

Gratitude welled in my chest, and I started to look over my shoulder before August’s grip on my waist tightened. “Do you want me to kill him, Fireball?”

Brynn came to my rescue. “Oh, stop it. She’s not interested in Bash. He’s just being nicer than you are right now. And for the record, El, Bash isn’t usually the nice one. Can I call you El?”

“Um, sure.”

“Perfect. Did you have a bag at the coffee shop? I just realized you don’t have a purse or anything.”

I looked down at myself.

No bag.

I was still wearing the same faded jean shorts and old black tee I’d had on earlier, but I’d definitely forgotten my stuff. It was the middle of summer in Scale Ridge, so the weather was beautiful during the day, but a little cold at night.
