“I still wish I had siblings.”
“You’re crazy. You can take one of mine, in fact, take Apollo. But keep in mind, he eats and grumbles a lot.”
“I’ll take him.” I laugh. “So does this mean I get to be a polar bear shifter?”
Eros laughs. “Sure. Why not.”
We all laugh and head into the hotel to check in.
“Looks like there’s a restaurant here. We can get dinner after we drop our stuff in the rooms. I got us two adjoining rooms, but I booked it before I knew there’d be five of us. So I’m pretty sure one of us is sleeping on the floor.” I look at all of them.
“I got it, Apollo can sleep on a cot. Some hotels will give you a cot for children.” Eros smiles.
“Wait. Why me?” Apollo frowns.
“Why not you? You’re the baby in our family…” Eros smirks.
I check us in as the brothers continue grumbling at each other. People are starting to look at them.
“We need a cot for the room, please,” I say to the concierge.
She looks at all of us.
“I don’t think any of you will fit on a cot,” she whispers to me.
I laugh. “We’ll make it work.”
“I can get you an upgraded room, just give me a sec.”
She starts clacking away at the keyboard for a few minutes. The brothers are still arguing, now it’s about who eats more. They’re too much.
“Okay, I got you adjoining rooms. Each has a bedroom with two queen beds and a pull-out sofa bed.” She smiles at me.
“Thank you, we really appreciate this. How much more is it?”
“Oh don’t worry, it’s all taken care of.” She’s still smiling at me as I sign the papers and she hands me five keys.
I walk over to the guys and hand them each a key, telling them what the concierge did for us. They all smile and wave at her as we walk past.
“I think she likes you.” Eros chuckles to me.
“You’re funny.” I shake my head.
“Hey, my key sleeve has a phone number on it and the name ‘Melody.’ I’m pretty sure this is yours.” Apollo laughs as he hands me the key.
We get to the room and drop our stuff.
“Um, I’m still hungry,” Apollo says as he frowns at us.
“I swear Mama dropped you too many times as a baby.”
“That’s rude,” Apollo says as he squints at his brother.
“I saw the restaurant downstairs while Tristan was checking in. I’m kind of hungry too,” Armando says as we watch Apollo and Eros wrestling on the ground.
“Maybe we should leave them and go eat.” Keegan shrugs as he moves out of their way.
“I’m hungry too.” I nod.
