I laughed at his response, gripping his shoulder to keep my balance as I snorted. “You sounded like a little girl,” I gasped before trying to mimic the sound.
Caleb looked up at me with narrowed eyes. “I didn’t sound like that,” he pouted.
“Oh yes, you did,” I laughed. I hopped off the bags and stood between his legs. He tilted his head back to look at me, and I melted into him, kissing him softly. His hands traveled up my legs to my ass, and I felt my body heating up in anticipation. Before I could give in to the urge, I pushed away from him, hopping out of reach as he tried to pull me back. “Oh, no. We’ve already had our fun. Come on; we may as well get dressed and see about dinner. I worked up an appetite.”
He groaned in disappointment but pulled his clothes on anyway. The guys were all in the kitchen when we went inside and had their eyes on us as soon as we stepped inside.
“Have fun?” Gray teased.
“Sure did,” I grinned. “I sucked Caleb’s soul out through his dick,” I said proudly. I turned to look at Caleb, and he had a cocky grin. He was officially the first to have me do anything to their dick. It was a proud moment for us both.
I didn’t even know there was a problem until his eyes widened, and he shoved me away as Ethan approached him with his fist. Boone caught me before I could fall on my ass. The sound of Ethan’s fist connecting with Caleb’s jaw echoed around the kitchen. What the actual fuck.
I scrambled out of Boone’s arms and wedged between the two men, pushing Ethan away from Caleb. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” I yelled.
Caleb looped an arm around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder. “I’m fine, Baby. Ethan was just communicating.”
“Why did you punch him?” I demanded.
“Because he broke the fucking rule,” Ethan growled. “He knows cocks are off the table. This isn’t supposed to be about us. It's about you.”
“So this was out of some misguided…defense of my honor?” I asked.
“It’s not like I forced her, dickwad,” Caleb said.
“No! He didn’t. I forced him. Well, maybe not forced, but I begged. He didn’t want to, but I seduced him.” I probably shouldn’t sound as proud as I did, but dammit, I was proud. I put my hands on my hips and glared at him. “And I don’t appreciate you punching each other over me. If I think one of you needs to be punched, I’ll do the damn punching.”
Pike snickered from behind Ethan. I glared at him; he had the good sense to reel in his amusement.
“She begged?” Ethan asked Caleb.
“On her knees and everything,” he confirmed. “She was very convincing and didn’t give me much choice.”
“Fuck that’s hot,” Gray groaned, making me smirk.
“Are you proud of yourself, Honey Bee?” Boone asked.
I had a moment of doubt but pushed it aside and lifted my chin. “I am.”
“Good,” he replied. “You should be. That’s a big step for you. I’m proud of you, too. I think we all are.”
“Sorry for punching you,” Ethan said.
“It’s all good, brother. Barely felt it,” Caleb replied. He kissed my neck and then sat next to Gray at the table. “What are you reading?”
“Bailey’s medical books,” Gray replied. “I’m worthless right now physically, so I figured I may as well try to make myself useful in other ways. This way, Bailey won’t be the only one who can fix your booboos.”
“No offense, but I think I prefer her bedside manner over yours,” Ethan laughed. He and Boone sat at the table with them, and my heart swelled. They were mine. All of them, and I never wanted to let them go.
My eyes drifted to Pike, and he watched me with a small smile. “You want to help me with dinner, Sweetling?” he asked softly.
I nodded and let him pull me into his arms as I approached. He pressed his lips to my temple. “So fucking proud of you.”
A couple of days later, we packed the trucks with provisions. It was time to go back to town with Henry and some of his men to tackle the zombies at the school and stock up on more supplies for both farms. All my guys, except for Gray, who had to stay behind again with Matty, piled into the pickup truck while Henry drove the moving truck with his men in the back. As we led Henry into town, I saw everything looked exactly as we had left it. There wasn’t any sign that anyone had been here after us. We parked the trucks a couple of blocks from the school and went the rest of the way on foot. We didn’t know the situation with the school and didn’t want to announce our presence with loud vehicles.
As we approached, I saw that the front door was chained closed from the inside. Whatever happened here, they locked themselves in intentionally. We went around the building until we found a window we could jimmy open enough for me to crawl through. Ethan gave me a boost and then passed me my crossbow. The classroom I was in looked frozen in time, waiting for its students to return. Silently, I crept to the door and took a deep breath. I looked back toward the window, still propped open, and saw the guy’s worried faces as they watched. That window would be my only escape if the hallways were flooded with zombies.
I opened the door slowly, braced to run, and poked my head into the hall. I relaxed as I saw that it was deserted. I gave the guys the thumbs up and stepped into the hall. I went to the emergency exit door at the end of the hall. I chewed on my lips as I studied the sign, cautioning that the alarm would sound if opened. It couldn’t still be functional, right? Only one way to know for sure. I pushed the door open, relieved when the alarm didn’t blare.
