I yelped and then laughed as he cuddled me close.
“Five more minutes,” he whispered and kissed my forehead.
“I think we can get away with five more minutes,” I agreed, and wrapped my arms around him.
“Promise you’re not mad at me anymore?” he asked softly.
“I won’t lie and say I’m not still hurt,” I whispered. “But the anger has gone.”
He nodded. “We were pricks. I’m sorry. I swear that we’ll make it up to you.”
“Shh, you’re interrupting my five minutes,” I teased.
Squeezing me, he quieted and held me.
“What the shit?” Caleb demanded. “You two went back to sleep? Get up, you bums!” He hit us with pillows.
“Hey! Stop!” I shouted and put my hands up, trying to defend myself.
Riddick shifted into his cheetah form and pounced on Caleb, knocking him to the floor.
“Ember, help!” Caleb said and hit Riddick with the pillow. “I’m being mauled.”
I folded my arms across my chest. “You started it by attacking me. Riddick is just being a good boyfriend and defending me.”
Caleb knocked Riddick off and dove onto the bed, pinning me down. “Caught you!”
“I didn’t try to run,” I said, rolling my eyes.
“What the heck?” Triston asked from the doorway. “I thought we were leaving?”
“Right. Right,” Caleb said and stood up, he pulled me to my feet and swatted my ass. “Get dressed.”
I looked over my shoulder as I sauntered to the closet, sashaying my hips, and said, “Yes, alpha,” in a deep voice.
He growled and took a step to come after me, heat in his eyes, but Triston and Riddick grabbed his arms and dragged him out. “Tease!” he shouted.
My phone dinged with a message, so I picked it up and my eyes widened when I saw the date on the lock screen. Our one year anniversary was in just a few days! Crap! Being asleep for several days had eaten up the time I should have had to finalize my plans.
The message was from Leona, asking if I was okay.
Sending her a quick message, I let her know that I was awake and feeling good.
Hurrying, I got changed, brushed my hair and teeth, and put on a little bit of eye makeup.
Satisfied, I ran down the stairs to the foyer. “I’m ready,” I panted.
“Good, time to go,” Caleb said and headed outside and to the garage. He tossed me my keys. “You’re driving.”
“Wait, we’re going without a guard?” We never went anywhere without a guard.
“Yes,” Caleb said with a nod.
Was that wise, considering they’d almost killed us just a few days ago?
“It’ll be alright,” Caleb reassured me.
Nodding, I climbed into the driver’s seat and started the vehicle. It took me a minute to adjust the seat and mirrors to my liking before heading out.
