“I know we said we’d all go on a date, but I’d like to propose something.”
“Propose?” Atlas snickers. “Hummingbird, I’m honored, but we just met.”
“Oh, he has jokes,” she laughs, shaking her head.
Seeing how easily we all seem to just vibe together is another brick off my shoulder.
“As I was saying,” Willow shoots a pointed, but teasing look Atlas’ way, making him chuckle then turn her blue eyes on me. “I was thinking maybe we can do some one on one time. Jude can spend the day with Atlas while me and you have a day on the town?”
“Oh,” I blink in surprise.
“If that’s okay. If you’d like it to be the four of us, that’s fine too.”
“No, it’s fine by me.” Excitement fills me.
“And then the next time everyone is free, we can swap partners,” Willow grins, the sexual innuendo not missed.
“I’d like that.”
I was a little nervous about trying to get to know two new people in a big group while Atlas is doing the same. This one on one time gives me a better chance to get that time with Willow.
“Getting some one on one time with my tiny dancer? Sign me up,” Atlas growls softly, stepping closer to Jude.
Jude’s pupils dilate, his breath hitching as the two of them get locked in a heated stare.
“Let’s let these two be,” Willow whispers, amusement in her voice.
“Ah man, I was enjoying the show,” I pout.
Willow’s smile has my stomach swooping.
She steps up to Jude and leans in. “Be a good boy.” She nips at his ear making him gasp in a shuddering breath. “You too.” She shoots Atlas a cheeky grin.
“Can’t make any promises, Alpha,” Atlas chuckles. “I know just the perfect kind of trouble we could get into.”
“I bet you do.” Willow shakes her head. “Ready?” she asks me.
“Let me grab my purse and phone,” I tell her, rushing over to my kitchen counter and grabbing the two before joining her again. “Ready. Did you want to drive or walk?”
“How about we walk? I’d love to see your beautiful town.”
“Then let’s go for a walk.”
“I gotta say, I’m impressed.” Willow shoots me an easy smile as she leans back in her chair.
She’s already changed positions five times since we sat down five minutes ago. I find it cute. I don’t have ADHD, but I do find I get restless easily. I like to keep myself moving.
It’s one of the reasons I like working at the club, I’m always moving from table to table, never staying in one spot for long.
“With me, or the town?” I joke.
“Both,” she laughs. “This place is amazing. To think there’s this entire safe haven for omegas hidden in the middle of nowhere.”
“That was the goal. Making this place hard to find helps keep unwanted guests away.”
“What about the ones who need this place?”
“If they know it exists, they will find a way. We have people out there who lend a helping hand.”
