"OR, we camp out in the living room," Geo grinned at me. He started digging through the boxes until he found a silky robe in rich purple and handed it to me. Then he pulled out a couple of fuzzy blankets and the pillow I'd loved at the store. "Come on, babe, let's settle in for the night.
Geo made up a bed on the sofa and I laid down on it. Then he pulled me down onto the soft cushions and rolled us up under the blankets.
"Do you want to watch TV?"
"No. I want to understand why the pack just gave me their business." I frowned.
"I told you, they want to make it up to you. They've realized that they messed up and there's only so much apologizing you can do before it gets annoying. This is their idea of giving you something to show you how much they mean it."
"It's a big gesture," I said slowly.
"It is." He kissed my neck and wrapped an arm around my middle. "Stop thinking so hard and try to get some sleep."
It wan't easy to fall asleep, but when I did, I slept soundly and didn't wake until Finn dropped a pan in the kitchen. That got me up in a hurry, but I also had to pee.
After we showered together and got changed, we both headed hand in hand to the kitchen. Finn had a huge stack of pancakes waiting for us with three syrups and a variety of other toppings.
"Where is everyone else?" I asked, as the three of us sat down to eat.
"Out and about." Finn didn't elaborate, so I dropped the idea and settled in to eat the pancakes he'd slathered in butter and whipped cream, topping mine with chocolate sauce and strawberries. Geo stuck with regular maple syrup, but he swiped some of my whipped cream.
"Don't you have to work?" I asked Geo suddenly. "You've been here for days."
"I took heat leave." He gave me a grin. "That's a full week off, so I don't need to go back until Monday."
"Okay." I relaxed and leaned back in my chair, full already. "That was amazing, Finn. Thank you.
There was a rumble in the driveway and I frowned. I guess the guys weren't at work.
They didn't come inside and after a bit, I heard thumping on the back porch. Standing up, I ran to the back and went out on the porch where we used to sit all the time.
Aiden and Mace were back there, digging up the flower beds I'd once tended so carefully. My first day back, I'd noticed they were overgrown and dead, but now all the dead plants were gone.
"What are you doing?" I looked around at the bags of soil on the porch and both turned to me, with big smiles.
"Putting your garden back. We missed your flowers and your puttering."
"And the plants?"
"Right here." Finn and Geo appeared around the side of the house with their arms full of trays that held potted plants.
"We couldn't remember everything you liked, but we can add more later," Finn told me. He set the plants down and hurried back around the house.
"Roses," I beamed, running to start sorting out the different types of plants. There were a variety of floral plants and a few herbs, too. They must have remembered that I loved the smell of herbs.
With everyone pitching in, it only took the rest of the morning to get the rest of the beds dug up and planted. It was relaxing, working in the sun with their alpha scents wafting around me and mixing with the aroma of the roses. I carefully tucked each plant where I wanted it and Finn came along behind to watereverything. Geo was fertilizing and pausing every so often to tell me how pretty I was and to kiss me. It was sweet.
By the time we went in for lunch, we were all sweaty and covered in dirt. Everyone split off to go shower and Geo and I found ourselves together in the shower again. I took the initiative this time, soaping him up and washing him. He instantly hardened in my hand as I gripped his cock to wash it.
"Careful or we won't make it out there in time for the pizza Aiden ordered," Geo warned, but his eyes were sparkling.
I dropped to my knees on the hard tile floor and licked a line up the underside of his dick.
"Baby, you don't have to do that."
"I know." I smiled up at him and took him in my mouth, just the way they'd taught us in the center, letting my throat muscles work around him as I swallowed down his length.
Geo groaned and buried his fingers in my hair, one hand on my head, one on the wall to brace himself. He didn't push my head, just let his hand rest there, gently massaging as I bobbed up and down.
