I pulled away as she slumped into the booth, panting hard as her hooded eyes glazed over. Both Avery and I were rock hard, but that didn't matter because seeing her like this, this strong and amazing woman trusting us to be putty in our hands, was intoxicating. It made you want more.

Before either of us could make a stupid decision, all three of our phones went off as a text came in.

Cosmo:Come to the house, now. War room.

“Well, shit,” Rayla growled, looking like she was going to throw her phone across the room and say fuck it, but instead, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them, a boss shined through. “Sorry, boys, looks like we gotta go.”

Both of us grumbled, making a show of being disappointed and making her promise to continue this after everything was taken care of. Then we split up, deciding to meet her at the house, since she came here on her bike, and we both came in Avery’s car.

She gave each of us a long and sensual kiss that let us know she was not done with us before popping on her helmet and jetting off on her bike.

“That was a lot harder than I thought.” Avery huffed, going around the car to the driver's seat.

“Yeah . . . but it's going to be worth it.” I slid into the front passenger side as I kept telling myself that because I knew in the end that she would be elated.

“Yeah, sure, at the end, but she’s going to be pissed when she gets to the war room and there's nothing there but a note with a clue.” He started the engine, pulling out onto the street and going in the opposite direction that she did.

“I mean yeah, she will be . . . especially since we kinda revved her up. She's going to feel like we left her high and dry.” That was the only part of this plan that I didn't like because our mate had a mean streak, and you never knew what kind of punishment she would hand out.

“Let's hope your plan works.”

His half-hearted positivity had me frowning at him. It had to be worth it. She has been wanting something like this for a while. I just needed to trust the process.

“You’ll see. This is going to be perfect.”At Least, I hope it will.

Chapter 2

What a fucking timeto call in a problem, but I guess it can’t be helped. Cosmo rarely has to send out an SOS like that, so it must be serious.

I hopped off my bike, beating Lex and Avery home like I knew I would. I kept trying to get Avery, Cosmo, and Falcon to ride with me, but that didn't seem to be happening any time soon. They kept insisting on their big fancy cars, their luxury. Well, if they rode with me, we would be here at the same time.

Making my way through the door, I expected one of them to be waiting for me at the stairs, but no one was there. At the very least, I expected Rick to come running up to me, demanding that I give him more answers for the wedding. Parties like that didn'treally interest me, and he had been dying to plan one for years, so I told him to go crazy. The only thing was I wanted it on new year's eve. As soon as the new year ran in at twelve, I wanted to start my new life with my new husbands.

I didn't hear a single peep as I made my way through the foyer.Weird. Maybe they didn't hear me.

Going up the steps slowly and loudly, I hoped that one of them would realize I was here and come see me. Cosmo might be getting ready for everyone, so I didn't expect him. Maybe Falcon still wasn't here? Maybe Ax’s flight got delayed?

The creaking of the wooden stairs echoed in the silence, and it irked me. Something felt off. Wrong.

I began to look around for signs of any disturbance or issue. I was on guard the rest of the way to the war room, taking out my switchblade just in case, expecting anything to pop out at me at a moment's notice.

I swung open the door to the war room like I was coming in ready to fight a horde. My head snapped around the room, expecting either something horrible or to have Cosmo sitting there looking at me like a loony for the way I was acting. I was surprised when neither happened as nothing dangerous was waiting here for me, nor was Cosmo waiting. The whole room was empty.

Turning, I was about to stomp all over this house to find them when I noticed something on the table. A white piece of paper glaring at me with its brightness. I snatched it up and scannedover the contents, my expression growing more slack with each word I read.

My lovely, gorgeous mate,

As you know, Christmas is around the corner, and our alone time is quickly coming to an end (with our fathers coming to stay with us), so we wanted to take this opportunity to give you a special gift. One that will awaken multiple senses and bring you to the highest peak.

As we know you to be a brutal, vicious woman, we thought that starting this off with a hunt would get you in the mood.

Each place will have a note from one of us with an item that's a clue. If you look on the chair this paper was on, you’ll see your first clue.

I promise you that this will all be worth your while . . . just trust us.

Come find us, fierce girl. We’re not so patiently waiting for you.

Love you beyond words,
