That’s when my gaze falls on the stacks of shopping bags that crowd a corner of the room. Moving toward them, I pick one of the packages and peek inside.

To my surprise, I find a neatly folded dress inside it.

I quickly look through the other bags and find more clothes. The memory of being inside a boutique store comes back to me. Did Jacob bring back all the clothes I’d chosen?

Picking up a bottle-green woolen dress, I check the label hanging from it. One look at it and I know it belongs to me because of the size stamped on it.

A smile comes onto my lips as I grab a pair of underwear from one of the bags and start putting it on. I love wearing Jacob, Cole, and Kai’s clothes, but it’s a different feeling to put on something brand new after a good shower.

I revel in the feel of the soft, yet warm fabric against my skin. Paired with tan boots, I look like one of those girls you see on the pages of a fall-themed magazine.

Feeling confident, I walk out of the room and head downstairs.

My excitement grows as I get closer to the kitchen. I can’t wait for Jacob, Cole, and Kai to see me in the clothes they bought me.

“Guys, Winter’s here. Finally!” Kai calls out the moment I step inside the kitchen.

A wave of shyness hits me the moment I gaze up at him and his brothers. They’re all staring at me with warm gazes that make me want to smile wider and break into a dance.

“I’ve got some food for you,” Jacob says, attracting my attention toward him.

Dressed in a navy sweatshirt, he looks amazingly handsome.

I go toward him and sit on the empty chair between him and Cole.

“You look pretty in this dress,” Cole says, leaning over to me.

Without a thought, I put my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

Surprise flickers in his eyes as he stares at me. “Kai said your heat’s over,” he says in a lowered voice. “Do you still feel attracted to me?”

How could he still doubt the way I feel about him?

I press my lips to his, answering him in the only way he’d truly believe me.

Cole’s arms wrap around me, and within seconds, he’s kissing me back with a passion that makes my pussy flutter again. My fingers dig into his hair as his tongue dances around mine, tasting me thoroughly.

I’m a breathless mess when the kiss finally ends.

“Let her eat,” Jacob chides. “She hasn’t eaten a thing since last night.”

“Sorry,” Cole apologizes but his blue eyes shine with mischief.

“Tell me if you want me to make you another one,” Jacob says as I take a big bite of the massively stuffed sandwich. “I wish I could cook us something nicer but cold cuts are all we’ve got left in the house. We’ll have to go out for shopping to bring in some fresh stuff soon.”

“This is delicious,” I say, taking another bite of the sandwich.

“Hey, you want some hot chocolate?” Kai asks. “I was thinking about making some for myself.”

I nod. “Thanks!”

I finish off the sandwich quickly and eagerly reach for the cup of steaming hot chocolate that Kai places before me.

“Winter,” Jacob calls out my name. “Are you sure you’re feeling fine? If you want, we could take you to a doctor to get you checked.”

I shake my head and smile up at him. “I feel absolutely fine.”

The grim look on his face remains. “Can you tell us the truth now?” he says. “What were you doing all alone on the road that night we found you?”
