“They never are.”
“How do you know?”
“Because I had a feeling you were meant to be mine, and I was right.”
“And what is your feeling saying now?” I ask, turning to face him.
“That you three are going to be my pack, my forever, my end game.”
“Yeah?” I smile softly.
“Oh yeah.”
“I’d like that.”
And I would. I might not know Willow and Jude very well, but I’m a good judge of character and I know that I’m going to fall hard and fast for them too because like Atlas, I have a feeling we’re meant for bigger things.
I just hope they end up feeling the same way.
Okay, so maybe Atlas was right about this dress. Seeing the way Willow’s eyes grow heavy lidded and the look of awe on Jude’s face is the confidence boost I didn’t know I needed.
We agreed to meet at my place and spend the day in Widows Peak. I told Atlas I’d feel more comfortable not spending too much time out of town.
It’s one thing for me to go into Ridley’s Hawk to grab the occasional thing I can’t get in Widows Peak, or when I go to The Rusty Pipe, but spending hours wandering around in a place I don’t know would cause me too much anxiety, putting a damper on the whole night.
“Might wanna pick your jaw up there, sweet boy,” I laugh lightly as I stop in front of him, tapping the bottom of his jaw with my finger.
He snaps his mouth shut, an adorable blush creeping onto his cheeks.
“Sorry, but, woah.” He licks his lips and I flush from the attention.
“You look incredible,” Willow says, her voice growing a bit of a husk to it. My nipples harden against my bra at the sound.
We said we’re going to take this slow, but fuck me, I’m not sure if I’m going to make it through this date without soaking my panties. It’s a good thing I have my scent blocking ones on. Maybe she won't notice.
“Thank you,” I smile. “Atlas picked it out,” I tell them, doing a little spin.
“He did good,” Willow says, shooting Atlas a playful smile.
“Really good,” Jude breathes out.
These two are going to make it easy to fall for them, I know it.
“You have a really cute place here,” Willow says, looking around.
“Thanks,” I smile. “This is kind of my second home. I have another place in town. My friends and I kind of all lived on the same block when we first started working on the town, but I wanted something away from everyone when I needed to escape. I’m a bit of a private person. Plus, it was an excuse to have Atlas come help work on building this place so I could drool over his body as he worked.” I turn to Atlas and grin.
“I knew it,” he smiles wide. “I knew you wanted me for my body.” He runs his hand down over his chest and stops at his junk. “And as soon as you saw this knot, you were hooked.”
“I mean, you’re not wrong,” I shrug with a playful grin.
Willow laughs, “You two are so cute together.”
“Thanks, it’s all her.” Atlas wraps his arms around my shoulder.
My attention flicks to Jude, finding him watching with a fond look.
He’s not jealous that his alpha is all over me. That has a flicker of hope sparking.
