“Huh?”
Ramsay closed his eyes and leaned into my touch. “With you. In the bed.”
“B-but… It’s your bed.”
He peeked one eye open. There was a mischievous glint in it. “I know. It doesn’t mean I can’t share. Besides, you need to find out if Colton is the alpha for you in the prophecy too, right? This way you can spend time with him. Just a few days early, is all.”
My cheeks flushed. “Are you okay with that?”
“Yeah. As long as I get my own special time with you, I’m good with anything.” He winked. “I already told you there’d be no jealousy from me, didn’t I, Mathe?”
I smiled. “You did say that.”
“Then get outta here and let me sleep already,” he mumbled. “But give me a kiss first.”
And give him a kiss, I did. I leaned in and locked our lips together in a soft, passionate kiss that left me breathless when I pulled away.
“Night, Mathe,” he said.
I kissed him one last time on the cheek. “Goodnight.”
As Ramsay delved into sleep, I got up and looked for Colton. I found him in the loft already, staring up curiously at the exposed wooden beams of the ceiling.
“Weird place, huh?” I said, climbing the stairs.
“Strange,” he agreed. He sniffed. “Are you sure there’s no animals living here? It smells like hay.”
“Pretty sure that’s just Ramsay’s smell.” I smiled and took the other side of the bed, where I’d slept the night before. “Anyway, he said he’s good on the couch, so…”
Colton watched me, waiting for the rest of my sentence. I had a feeling he wasn’t going to fill in the blanks himself. My face heated up.
“So, you’re gonna be sleeping with me,” I said, then hurriedly added, “In the same bed, I mean, together. Next to each other.”
Colton nodded without any further questions. “Okay.”
And then Colton proceeded to take all his clothes off.
I sputtered. “What’re you doing?”
He blinked his blue eyes at me. “Stripping.”
“Why?”
“I always sleep naked.” He tilted his head. “Don’t you?”
“N-no.” I tried not to let my eyes wander down to his waist, where he was only a thin layer of underwear away from revealing his entire package. “Is that a North Pack thing, or a Colton thing?”
“I’m not sure. I usually sleep alone,” he mused. “Does it bother you?”
I bit my lip, hesitating. It obviously wasn’t a sexual thing for him, just something he did normally. But would I be okay with sleeping next to a naked alpha?
One who was already lighting a fire in my groin just by standing there?
“No,” I finally said. “I’d like to keep my clothes on, though.”
“Sure. Do whatever makes you happy.”
Then Colton took his briefs off. My mouth went dry at the sight of his cock. Even flaccid, it was huge. The size of his balls weren’t anything to sneeze at, either. I couldn’t rip my eyes off them until he slipped into bed, as easily as if it was his own.
