If I had to be up, so did they.

Trance had given me an exasperated look as I made sure to slam every single cabinet door on my pseudo search for a coffee cup. Foster had come in the room, handed me a cup out of the cabinet I’d already opened and then slammed with his blanket-creased skin and bed head, glared at me, and went back to bed.

Did I mention he was shirtless and in only his boxers?

The man could rival Trance in the looks department that was for sure.

But Miller, my, my, my.

When I’d let the dogs in after their morning training session, I opened and threw the puppies ball on Miller’s bed, which they of course followed dutifully.

Miller had been sleeping on his stomach with his face half covered by the pillow.

His leg was hanging off the bed, as was his arm until the puppies made a show of licking Miller’s exposed back and neck.

“I’m going to kill you.” Miller mumbled from underneath his pillow.

I giggled. “You could always try.”

“I know 432 ways to kill a person. I’m pretty sure 433 would work on you.” He growled just as he launched himself from the bed at me.

I squealed like a stuck pig and started running out of the room. I, of course, went to hide behind Trance who was taking a sip of his coffee.

The man was always grumpy before he had his coffee. Which explains why he did what he did next.

He set his cup down carefully as to not spill it, and then he moved to the side so my body was left exposed to the man whose hair was flat on one side and sticking up on the other.

Miller grinned manically before he was on me, lifting me up over his shoulder, and running towards the backyard. Jesus Christ the man was quick, I hadn’t even seen him move. And his shoulder was like a wall of steel in my stomach. My littlepiddly hits were nothing against the muscled expanse of his back.

Then I was flying through the air and I went under.

Did I mention Trance had a pool?

Luckily, the throw was a long one, enabling me to catch a full breath of air before I hit the water.

I sank like a stone in my jeans, sweatshirt, and shoes.

Only one thought entered my brain in those instants where I was hovering in midair...two could play that game.

Which was why instead of going up to the surface, I held my breath and stayed submerged under water.

I was up to the count of sixty three when I heard two distinct splashes around me, and I opened my eyes to find two men swimming towards me. One fully clothed, and one in his underwear.

They were tearing up the water as if it was ground, and were on me in an instant.

Both men grabbed an arm and dragged me to the surface.

I felt like I was on a jet boat with how fast I got up to the top, and I gasped a full breath of air, giving life back to my oxygen starved lungs.

And then I laughed.

“This is like a Baywatch episode.” I giggled. “Do you think we can do that again, but let me film it this time?”

Both of them stared at me incredulity. “You can swim?”

I snorted. “Of course.”

I was being held up by both of them, or was until they suddenly dropped my arms like they were on fire to see if I was telling the truth.
