“Why don’t you sound happy about that?”
I hesitate. I don’t want to make her worried, but she deserves to know.
“Because, I don’t know anything about how it works or if it’ll last. It makes me nervous that she could lose control.”
Aly takes it in, assessing my opinion in her head, then nods.
“We will need to keep a close eye on her, I agree.”
She smiles at me and I can’t help smiling back. I can tell she’s staring at my smile, taking in all the details. I quickly revert to my normal expression which I’m told looks pissed off.
“You can always tell me what you’re thinking Jer, and we will work it out together. Okay?”
She’s right. I know she’s right. I’m just so used to being quiet and keeping things to myself. Sharing with her doesn’t come naturally. But it feels incredible every time I do. Like the burden isn’t mine alone.
“I know Aly. You’re right, I’m sorry.”
She smiles again, grabbing my hand and threading her fingers through mine. I give it a little squeeze as our mate bond sings in happiness.
I can’t believe there was a time I wanted to deny this. That I was going to let my past come between me and the best thing to ever happen to me.
“Let’s go check out the rooms,” Aly says, pulling me along behind her.
Nic is leading Anna and the other guys upstairs, so we join them. Thank god he found a furnished house for us, we don’t need anything else to deal with right now.
“So, Anna here’s your room,” Nic points to the first one at the top of the stairs. It is a normal room with a dresser and a bed. Anna looks like she’s ready for some alone time as she hurries into her room, grabbing the cup from Aly with a thank you.
Nic continues down the hall, pointing out rooms for each of us. I don’t plan on using mine much, so I barely take a peek inside when he tells me. We get to the end of the hallway where there’s the master bedroom.
“And here, we have Aly’s room.” Nic opens the door to massive master bedroom with a huge bed. It’s bigger than a California king.
“What?” Aly asks confused but I’m not. I know exactly what Nic was thinking.
“Well, I figured you might let some of us sleep in here with you so we would need the space. It’s the one thing I got from the supernatural world since beds for a large group are much more common there,” Nic says.
When does he have time for something like this? I swear his brain is always working and thinking ahead for things like this. Does he sleep?
“I love it, thank you, Nic!” Aly exclaims.
She steps further into the room before turning around to look at us. “You can all come stay here any time. I would miss all of you too much if you didn’t.”
I agree, I’m planning on spending every night in here. I have a feeling they all are. I can’t sleep thinking about Aly being in danger and I’m not there for her. When I step into the room with everyone, Nic’s phone rings. He looks down at it then swears.
“I have to take this. It’s my parents,” he explains as he turns around and leaves the room. I can hear him answer the phone as he goes.
I’m about to pounce on Aly because this giant bed is calling us when Aly’s stomach growls. She laughs at the interruption but looks ready to ignore it. I know who won’t though.
I glance over at Jay and even though I know he wants to stay, his instincts will be telling him to feed his mate.
“I’m going to go make some food for us,” he says, giving in. He leans down and gives Aly a very thorough kiss before leaving the room. He tosses me a wink as he goes.
I guess it’s just the four of us.
Twelve
Aly
Nic and Jay exit the room, shutting the door behind them. That leaves me with three of my mates and a new, massive bed. I think we all know where this is leading and I want to speed it along. Walking backwards, I hop up and lay back on the bed. I start lightly rubbing myself over my jeans while looking at Kiran, Jer and Jax.
