Page 78 of Wolf It Down, Knot Me Up

“Fuck yeah, we are,” Wolf replies instantly, and I’m nodding, drinking down my ambrosia. “First, work, as we’re behind on our quota and it looks like it’s gonna storm later.”

“Okay, let’s swing,” Roman adds, collecting all our cups to take inside.

“I’m going to check on her first. I won’t be long,” I say, following him.

Both of them stare at me. “Why do you get to go up?” Wolf demands.

“Because I called it.” I head indoors before this turns into an argument. I pick up the bundle of wildflowers I’d collected in the nearby woods earlier this morning, sitting on the kitchen counter. I used a ribbon to tie the stems together.

I hear Wolf mumbling about my wildflowers for our Omega, and I chuckle to myself as I head out into the main room and upstairs, a skip in my step.

Once I reach the private quarters, the door remains open like I left it this morning, so I stroll inside and reach the bedroom, where I knock on the frame.

“Come in,” she says, and I push open the door, finding her dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, reddish hair loose over her shoulders, and she’s sitting on the bed, looking down at her phone. She glances up, grinning. “Was wondering where you’d disappeared to.”

I step into the room, flowers at my back, and walk into a cloud of her scent and that sweet, musky hint of sex from last night. My cock throbs in my pants at how incredible she felt against me, buried deep inside her.

Exhaling to calm myself the hell down, I sweep the flowers out from my back and present them to Lucy with a huge smile. “Got something for you.”

Her eyes widen, a grin kissing that beautiful mouth. “For me?” She reaches out to take them into her arms, and I might have gone overboard, seeing as the bouquet is bigger than her head. She’s sniffing them, and I love seeing her this happy.

“If you keep smiling like that for me, I’ll bring you flowers every single day,” I say.

She glances up at me, over the tops of the red and yellow wildflowers, batting her eyes. “Is that a promise?”

“Absolutely.”

Then she sets her flowers down and rushes into my arms, and I embrace her against my chest. She lifts her chin, and I kiss those soft lips I want all over me.

She breaks away. “How did I get so lucky?”

“Been asking myself the same question.” I stare into her emerald eyes, half tempted to throw her back onto the bed and lock us in this room for the rest of the day. Though, knowing Wolf and Roman, they’ll tear the house down to get to us.

“I told Grandma about last night,” she tells me, still in my arms. “She sounded a bit shaken, so I’m going to go sit with her today, and lock up the lodge in case anyone turns up. Figured you three are out working.”

“Yeah, we will be, plus a storm’s coming, so take it easy today. I’d prefer to come with you, but I also need to help the guys meet our quota today.”

“I’m okay going to the hospital and back.” She nods, then rests her cheek against my chest, and I kiss the top of her head, letting myself imagine for a moment how incredible it would feel to have an Omega adore me every single day. Fuck, I’d never leave her side.

“So, I was thinking,” she says softly, lifting her gaze to me. “What are you three planning to do once your program here completes?”

“Well, first, we’re going to be free men, which is fucking everything. And that’s only a handful of months away. And we all love it out in the woods, in peace. I’ve never slept better in my life than out in these mountains.” I trace the length of her jawline. “As of right now, we haven’t decided, but between us, we’ve got enough money to buy a house outright. So we’ll be house hunting, but we’re not sure about the location yet. Though, we are big fans of Rusty’s Bend.” I wink, and she giggles. “What about you?” I ask.

She shrugs. “Unsure. I came here to help my grandma, to work out my next steps after losing my job in Miami. I mean, I can’t exactly remain unemployed forever.”

“Or, you stay and work here,” I suggest.

She just blinks at me, deep in thought.

“Eve’s not getting younger, and it won’t be long before she’s unable to run this place solo. These last few months seem to have been hard for her, as I’ve seen her moving slowly. It’s your call, but don’t forget, you have us now. Whatever we’re planning on doing will impact us and you because you’re our scent match, plus you’ve bonded with Roman.”

She glances down for a moment, then back up at me, eyes bright. “I do love it here, and you three are really growing on me.”

I chuckle and start tickling her along her ribs. “Wow, just now growing on you, hey?”

She’s laughing loudly, trying to swat me away but failing. We end up tumbling onto the bed, right next to the flowers, me on top of her, and I’m kissing her, losing myself so easily to her beauty. I lick her lips, and she moans, then she pushes her hands against my chest.

“At this rate, neither of us is leaving the lodge,” she murmurs.
