Sighing dramatically, I reply, “No, you’re right. I’m going to pack now. You go and enjoy having your fiancé home.”
A spark enters his eyes as he replies, “Oh, I intend to, bye Ever.”
“Bye,” I reply as he hangs up.
Before I head upstairs to pack, I make my way into the kitchen to get snacks and also so that I can find one of the guys to give them Pete and Ace’s update because otherwise I’m likely to forget.
“Hey Princess,” Atty greets me with a smile, and I make my way over to where he’s leaning on the side in the kitchen and talking to Rafe.
Kissing him thoroughly before I say anything, I turn to Rafe to do the same and then say, “I’m just going to go and start packing, but Pete and Ace called, and there’s nothing on the surveillance from the warehouse, and Pete wants to meet at his for six tomorrow morning so that we can convoy to his dad's place.”
“Got it,” Atty replies, as Rafe holds me tightly to him, my back to his chest.
“Do you need some help packing?” Rafe asks me as he kisses my neck.
I know for a fact he doesn’t mean actually helping me pack, and I know if I accept his offer, I won't end up packing until tomorrow morning, so I sigh heavily and reply, “Sorry, Big Guy, I really do need to pack.”
Chapter Twenty
He chuckles and nips my neck, “Yell if you change your mind.”
“Don’t tempt me,” I reply, as I turn around in his arms and kiss him again.
I force myself to take a step back before I can get carried and say fuck it and then turn around and head upstairs, leaving the guys to do whatever it was that they were doing before I came in here and interrupted.
Maybe, if I pack quickly enough, then I can reward myself with sex with Rafe? That’s how adulting works, right?
As soon as I walk into my room, I’m meowed at rather loudly by Runa, who is, of course, curled up on my pillow. I know that she won’t give me any peace unless I give her some love first, so I reach over the bed and give her some strokes, making her purr loudly as she squiggles around on her back, and she then meows loudly when I stop stroking her and move away to grab my suitcase from under my bed instead.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t take me that long at all to pack once I stop procrastinating, although I am only packing for a couple of nights, so that shouldn't surprise me in the slightest. The thing that takes me the longest to decide is what to bring to wear to the party tomorrow night, and because I know that Pete’s dads go all out when they throw a party, I decide to wear this ombre effect black to gold sequined dress that in the style of a flapper dress and truly stunning. I bought it because I fell in love with it and haven’t had the opportunity to wear it yet. Fortunately, this seems like the perfect time to wear it.
Feeling satisfied that I’ve got everything I need and some of my favourite weapons because, let’s face it, I never go anywhere without them, my phone once again starts to ring.
“Hey Ace, what’s up,” I say as I answer the phone and start to drag my suitcase out of my room and down the stairs to put it with the others that have been waiting by the front door for a while because the guys are so much more organised than I am.
“I fucking found it,” Ace exclaims, and I frown in confusion as I start to ask him what he’s found when he carries on talking, “I tried to call Pete to let him know, but I couldn’t get hold of him.”
I chuckle, “Yeah, Elijah has only just got back from his job. You won’t be able to get hold of Pete for a while.”
There’s silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before my meaning sinks in, and Ace chuckles, “Right, got you.”
Walking through the kitchen and into the other room, where it looks like I’m just in time for lunch, I put my phone on speaker so that all the guys can hear too and ask, “Ace, what did you find?”
“Oh shit, yeah,” he replies, “sorry. I found the second location.”
“Seriously?” Trick says, “That’s great news.”
“Yeah, it was a tricky fucker to find. They had some serious security measures hiding the location, which is good news now that we’ve found it because it means that they have something there that they don’t want to be found.” Ace says.
“He hasn’t slept,” Jynx yells in the background.
“Ace!” I chastise, now worrying about him.
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll get some sleep in a minute,” he replies, dismissing me entirely as I expected.
“I’ve just sent you the coordinates. Unfortunately, although I can now find the place, I can’t see anything, so I can’t tell you what kind of building it is or anything,” Ace explains.
“We’re going to have to be really careful when we check it out,” Rome says, and I hadn’t realised that they were all there listening, although that makes sense.
