“Why do I have to wake up?” he groans.
“Because we’rehere, when we could be with our Omegas. Why sleep when it’s taking time away from them?”
He sighs, rolling over to bury his face into his pillow. “I thoughtIwas the stalker? You’re acting crazier than I was.”
“It’s not stalking when they already agreed to be ours. Think of it as being very passionate. And I texted Lexi already, they’re expecting us soon.”
“Fine,” he sighs. “Do I have enough time to shower?”
“Sure, but I am leaving now. Just wanted to let you know.” I lean down, kiss his cheek, then pull the blanket off him, getting a nice view of his bare ass. I bring my hand down hard, slapping it, making him curse. “Peace out, fucker.”
“What the hell!” He sits up. “You’re just going to leave me?”
“You snooze, you lose. If I have to sit around here and wait for you, I’ll go out of my mind. Don’t worry, we’ll swing by and pick you up before we leave.”
“Leave for where?” he shouts after me, but I’m already out of the room, heading for the car.
I’m in a very good mood, with a grin on my face and excitement buzzing through my veins. There’s a pep in my step as I walk up to Lexi’s front door.
Knocking, I wait until Emmett opens it. When he sees me, he smiles. “Morning–” I cut him off, pushing him inside and upagainst the wall. He moans as I kiss him deeply, shutting the door behind me with my foot.
“Morning.” I pull back, grinning down at him as he stares up at me with wide eyes, flushed cheeks, and parted lips.
“Well, that was a greeting,” Lexi teases.
I look over to see her watching, a grin on her face.
I grin wider as I stalk towards her. “Hey there, Kitten.” I pull her into my arms and kiss her just as deeply.
“Hi,” she breathes when I pull back. Emmett comes to stand next to us, and I pull him into my arms, too.
He chuckles but lets me. “This,” I sigh. “This is what life was meant for.”
“You’re such a sap,” Lexi laughs.
“For you two? Always. So, how's my baby?” I get to my knees and kiss her belly. “You better be growing big and strong. And be nice to your mama.” I look up at Lexi, who’s watching me with misty eyes. I hope that's a good thing. “How’s your morning sickness?”
“Better,” she answers as I get to my feet. “I think it’s over now.”
“Good.” I nod. “So, you two ready?” I look them over. They’re both dressed. Emmett in a navy blue T-shirt and jeans, Lexi in a pair of leggings and a white knitted sweater. Her hair is up in a cute bun. “Fuck me, you two look edible,” I growl.
“Thank you,” Lexi laughs. “We’re ready, but what are we ready for?”
I grin. “I’m thinking we take a drive into that city not too far from here. Since it’s starting to snow, I thought we could spend a day having fun. Do some shopping before it gets too bad. I wanna spoil my Omegas before we’re trapped in this tiny town for the winter season.”
Lexi chews on her lip, looking over at Emmett nervously.
“What?” My smile drops. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m not a big fan of leaving Widows Peak,” Lexi admits.
My brows furrow. “Why not?”
“Because I know it’s safe here. Out there, they don’t live by our rules. I’m not a fan of the real world. It can be a scary place.”
“You have nothing to worry about.” I pull her into my arms. “You will have two scary, special force agents with you. We can bring our guns, keep you by our side. Nothing will happen to you, Lexi. But, if you don’t want to go, we can find something to do here.”
“No, I do. I think a day out with all of us is good. And by the time Emmett is done with his heat, we’re going to be snowed in. If we want to do anything, now is the time.”
