Colt dragged me to my feet and crushed his lips against mine, the kiss was rough and demanding, full of lust.
With a gentle hand against his chest I pushed him back.
"We don't have time for more. Not that I wouldn't love it but we're about to have company."
He stared at me as if he was debating if it was worth it to let them wait in the hall but I took the decision out of his hands by grabbing my shampoo and rubbing it through my hair.
The rest of the shower was full of quick touches and stolen kisses.
Maybe having mates wasn't so bad.
A knot formed in the pit of my stomach at the thought. My conscience quickly reminded me that the Sulley Pack weren't my only mates. The others got back last night and I didn't invite them over, too.
"What's wrong?" he asked, picking up on my mood change instantly.
"I'm just worried about the other mates. Here I am inviting you guys over while they're back in town and went through hell and I nearly forgot about them.
His expression softened. "You can blame it on my amazing charms," he teased. "But that doesn't mean you're ignoring them. We can always meet up with them later. Hell, we don't even know what we're doing yet."
I let out a sigh. "That's true." I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself, using another to tackle my hair.
I'd barely finished drying off before we heard a loud pounding on the front door. Colt chuckled and pulled on his boxers and jeans, buttoning them up and then closing the door behind him as he went out. He was giving me a moment to get myself together while he let the guys in and I appreciated the gesture.
They were all waiting for me in the living room after I'd finished getting ready. My eyes widened when I saw Amos, Jackson, and Silas sitting there, too.
"We ran into these guys at the inn. It seems we're all staying in the same place, so I invited them along," Isaac said.
"Thank you," I told him as my gaze drifted from him to my returning mates.
The moment Silas gave me a hopeful smile, I was moving before I even realized it, wrapping him in a hug we both needed. He squeezed me back just as tight, breathing me in as I was him. His sweet-and-tart blackberry jam scent was something I hadn't realized I'd missed.
"I'm glad you're back," I whispered before releasing him and moving on to Jackson.
Jackson tensed at first when I wrapped my arms around him but he melted easily into the touch after a breath. Coconut and tea leaves surrounded me, the distinct scent settling something in me. Despite the fact that I was worried that I was giving the Sulley Pack more attention, it seemed I hadn't stopped thinking about them the entire time. Maybe I was being too hard on myself because the omega in me hadn't forgotten a single mate.
I pulled away and turned to the third of the group. Amos was glancing up at me, looking uncertain. He stood and we faced off for a second before I caved and pulled him in for a hug. He held onto me tight and let out a breath of relief, like his soul was finally settled. I felt the same.
His citrus and pineapple scent surrounded me, the hint of alpha spice underneath.
I realized in that moment this was the first time I'd felt complete. My entire pack was with me and apparently, that meant more to me than I realized.
As Amos pulled away and sat down, Oaks opened his arms and gave a look of mock offense.
"Wait, where's my hug? Am I chopped liver now?"
My laughter came easily with him. "You spoiled me with chocolate and dinner, you can have a hug any time you want." He gave me a quick squeeze before releasing me, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He had a way of lightening the mood without trying.
Just as the other alpha did, Isaac stood as well, but instead of pulling me in for a hug he clasped the side of my neck with one hand and pulled me in, locking his lips to mine.
He deepened the kiss until our tongues were tangling together. I let out a moan that would have been embarrassing in a group of anyone else but my pack.
"Dammit, Isaac," Vince cursed. I heard more than one of the guys shift and I chuckled before pulling away.
"You naughty alpha," I teased.
His eyes were dark as he looked down at me.
"Don't think I don't smell my beta on you."
