“It’s nice,” Rafe said.

“Well, it’s small,” she said. “It was good for me, or a couple like Hemi and Annie, but now…”

She trailed off and Rhaider glanced at his brother. “How many bedrooms?” he asked.

“Two. One is really tiny, though.”

She looked like she was thinking too hard about their living situation, and Rhaider didn’t want her to be worried about anything at all. “Let’s see where you sleep and then I gotta be honest, I’m dead on my feet.”

Demi smiled sweetly at him and led them down a short hall. The master bedroom, which was not what he’d actually call the room where she slept, was just large enough for the full-sized bed and a tall dresser. The only bathroom in the place was across the hall. There was a laundry closet down the hall across from the other bedroom, so at least she didn’t have to go to a Laundromat.

“Let me wash my face and then I’ll be ready for bed,” she said.

She grabbed clothes out of the second dresser drawer and hurried across the hall. When the door was shut, Rafe let out a sigh as he looked at the bed.

“This is…not ideal,” Rafe said.

“It’ll be fine,” Rhaider said. “Just means we get to snuggle up even closer to her.”

“Good point,” Rafe said, grinning. “Plus, I’d sleep on nails to be with her, so a too-small bed is much better than that.”

When Demi came out of the bathroom wearing shorts and a tank, her face pink and clean, Rhaider thought she looked even more beautiful than she had at the bar. “Sorry the bed’s on the small side,” she said. “I don’t let, well, I haven’t ever let anyone stay the night with me, so it never mattered if the bed was big enough for more than just me.”

His beast growled happily to know they were the first to stay all night.

“Jeans on or off?” Rafe asked.

“Whatever makes you more comfortable,” she said. She tossed the covers back and climbed into the middle of the bed, giving them a view of her cute butt. She adjusted the pillows so there were three spread out, and then patted the spaces next to her with a small smile.

Rhaider tugged off his shirt, toed off his shoes, and dropped his jeans, leaving himself in boxer briefs. His brother followed suit.

As he was climbing into bed next to Demi, he noticed her gaze had dropped pretty low on his body.

About crotch level.

“Hey, lady, my eyes are up here,” he teased.

Her gaze snapped up to his and she grinned. She didn’t even blush when she said, “You know you’re hot.”

Settling next to her, he rolled to his side and went up on one elbow. Rafe was on her other side. She scooted down under the light blanket on her back and looked at him.

“You’re very beautiful,” Rhaider said. “I think we’re the luckiest males on the planet.”

“Fact,” Rafe said.

“I’m feeling pretty damn lucky myself.”

She reached for him and Rhaider went willingly for their first and very important kiss. Not the chaste cheek kisses and little brushes across her plump lips, but a real kiss. The sort that crawled down his body with spine-tingling pleasure and made his beast rise onto his hind legs and bellow out a happy growl. Their mouths opened and their tongues slid together and every nerve ending went full tilt. His world narrowed down to the beautiful female in his arms.

She was his heart-match.

The one female on the planet meant for him.

He’d do anything to keep her safe and keep her forever.

Kill. Maim. Whatever the hell it took.

They’d only been together a few hours, but his heart felt like he’d been with her forever.
