“Okay, change of plans,” I said. “We load this up and we head over to the police station on the way.”
We loaded up the wood and tools fairly quickly. Jim knew we were in a hurry and pitched in to help.
I dialed the chief's number as soon as we were in the cab. “Chief, we have something.”
“What is it?” he demanded on a growl.
I gave him the full update. “Let me handle it from here. You go straight to the farm.”
It felt like a distraction. He was likely still afraid we’d lose our minds.
Maybe he was right, and this was the best place for us. Losing ourselves in physical labor was a whole lot better than hunting this man down and being forced away from our omega as we served prison sentences.
As it turned out, physical labor was exactly what we needed. We spent the day replacing soggy boards and updating all the broken pieces. More of it was salvageable than we initially thought.
My muscles were aching and my mind was more settled than it was when we arrived.
“Pose for our omega, boys,” Apollo said as he turned around and held up his phone in selfie mode.
At this point we were all covered in sweat, shirts off, likely a few streaks of dirt here and there.
I gave a lazy smile while Apollo posed, showing off his biceps, and Ezra gave his usual beaming smile. He snapped a picture on his phone and sent it to our girl.
It took all of three seconds before all three of our phones were letting off notifications. I pulled mine out, glancing down at the text messages.
Bea
Damn. That’s a whole lot of muscles, I’ll need to go take a cold shower.
Apollo
I thought showering together was our thing. Don’t leave me out, Goddess.
Ezra
It’s been a day. I’m looking forward to being home with you.
Bea
Same. I don’t think I’ve sat for longer than five minutes total, today.
Me
Sounds like a takeout and movie on the dock kind of night.
Bea
My favorite. See you soon. Feel free to send me all the hot and sweaty selfies.
“I love that our omega is never afraid to thirst after us,” Apollo said as he tucked his phone away. He looked more relaxed now. We all did.
Then a photo came through. She was leaning over the desk at work, her breasts on full display and pushed up by the position. Even without showing a ton of skin she had all three of us groaning in appreciation.
Even with the chaos and everything we learned, it was nice to find moments like this. Ones where we could feel normal and appreciate our omega like she deserved.
The best part was that in a few short hours we’d all be together, having dinner and hearing about our girls’ days.
It had been a few weeks since the guys moved in, and our lives had fallen into some sense of normal.
