“Thank you. Take care of my girl. Oh, and Lyric too.” Syn hopped down.
I watched the other woman walk in a door farther down than the one Bodhi entered. “Is she going to be okay?” I asked Lyric, knowing the two girls were best friends.
Lyric looked sad. “She will be once one stupid wolf gets his head out of his ass. I just hope he does it before she does something that can’t be taken back.”
“Darlin, if you know something that I should, you better tell me.” Rowan’s deep growl reminded me of his presence.
“I promise, if I know she’s in danger, I’ll scream it from the rooftops. Right now, she just needs to get wasted and blow off some steam.” Lyric patted her mate’s leg.
“Who needs to get wasted?” Kellen asked.
I nearly screamed at Kellen’s deep baritone so close to my ear. I hadn’t heard him come up behind me and wondered if the others hadn’t either. From the shock on Lyric and Rowan’s faces, I assumed Kellen had indeed snuck up on all three of us.
“You almost made me pee my pants, Kellen.”
He nuzzled my neck. “Hmm, that is not how I want to get your panties wet.”
“TMI, boys and girls. You ready to roll? I need to practice making babies,” Rowan said.
Kellen glared at Rowan. “Don’t you already know how to do that? Do I need to give you a tutorial or what? You take part A, and stick it into part B. You need more instructions, like a video? I have several of those as well.” Kellen’s arms wrapped around my middle while he joked with Rowan.
Lyric laughed. “I think we know the how, it’s just fun practicing until we are actually ready to do the making. Of course, if you are volunteering for babysitting duty, we might just step up the timeframe,” she said, blinking up at Kellen.
I was lifted off my feet. “You watch your own brats. I’m going to go practice with Laikyn after we unload the stuff from the back of Syn’s truck. Let’s roll out.” Kellen carried me back to his XV and deposited me in the front seat.
“I am all up for practicing with you, Mr. Styles.” I winked as he paused in starting the vehicle.
“That is good to hear, since I plan to practice a whole hell of a lot. Buckle up, baby.” He waited for me to buckle my seatbelt, then shut the door.
“If you need instructions, remember I’m a doctor. I know all about anatomy.” I winked as he paused.
“You really are mounting up those spanks.” And didn’t that just make all my girly parts tingle? I wondered just how far I’d let him go and couldn’t wait to find out. I knew Kellen wouldn’t hurt me in any way. A nice, sensual spanking, though? Yeah, I totally thought I’d be down for that.
“What’s put that look on your face, and got you all hot and bothered?” Kellen asked, one hand on the wheel, the other possessively on my thigh.
Even if I wanted to lie, which I didn’t, he’d smell my deceit. “I was just thinking of your hand on my ass.” Hearing the words come out of my mouth had a visual that nearly had me squirming.
Kellen’s fingers tightened on the wheel. “Me, too. Have you counted up the number yet? I think we should start at an even ten. What do you think?”
Damn! I thought of his big hand coming down on my backside. “What if I don’t like it?”
Electric blue eyes turned to me. “You’ll love it.”
I didn’t doubt his words and loved the deep growl that accompanied them. Lord, I couldn’t wait to get to his place and explore.
“Wow, it’s awfully foggy,” I commented.
“Yeah! That it is.” His head turned back and forth.
I glanced behind us to see if Rowan and Lyric were still following, but I couldn’t see their headlights. “Should I call Lyric and make sure they’re good? This fog sort of crept up on us.”
He gave a sharp nod, slowing down as the heavy stuff clouded the view from the front. As I pulled my phone out, theno signal sign glared at me. “My phone has no service. How about yours?”
Kellen pointed to his front pocket. At any other time, I’d be psyched at reaching in and teasing him. Now, I hoped his phone worked. My heart pounded as I saw three bars. Quickly, I dialed Lyric, waiting for the other woman to answer.
“Hey, girl. Where did you two disappear to?” Lyric’s voice had a note of fear.
“Put it on speaker,” Kellen ordered.
