Heath answered on the first ring, “Lexi.” I replied, “Hey, can you meet me about fifty yards back from my place?” Heath agreed, “Yes, I’ll be there in ten.” I smiled at his reply even though he couldn’t see me. I’d missed that. Heath would always be there if I called. We really had shut little doors everywhere. Because I’d stopped asking him for things like this.
I stepped outside. Ted flashed out and handed me a drink. Heath was already waiting. Damn. We really were fast. I walked out to him. He chuckled, “That’s so weird. It looked like you appear out of thin air.” I smiled and handed him the papers.
He said, “Thanks. What is this?” I held up my index finger, “Hold on. Haley! Space unheard.” Haley popped to us, chanted, and popped back inside. I heard a door shut. I smiled, “This is a list of people who also have P.O. Box where I do. I’m pretty sure when I was VERY intoxicated, I met a cousin of ours. He said his name was James. I’m also certain during the demon plot to kill me, he helped me.”
Heath said, “He could’ve used an alias for a box. Why do you think he’s a cousin?” I explained, “He looked like he could be related to us. He’s either older than you or between us in age. My mind is a bit hazy on that details, but he knew my name when I didn’t give it.” Heath laughed, “I’ll look into it.”
Before he could leave I said, “I found one of Sophia’s siblings. He’s going to get in contact with her. He came off as on the level to me.” Heath smiled, “I know you did. I knew when you boarded the plane.” I asked, “How did you….? You know what? I don’t want to know.”
Heath told me, “I’m just glad you’re telling me. I’m guessing your wolf did not take you ditching his guards well.” I admitted, “No, he didn’t.” Heath comforted me, “Hey, don’t worry. He’ll get over it.” I asked, “How did you know he didn’t take it well?”
Heath laughed, “Because I take it so well when you do it with our people? Also, you’re having a girl’s night. That’s also a massive sign. Does Haley know that girl’s nights don’t usually involve a mission?” I punched him in the arm, “Hey! She does girl’s night her own way.” Heath laughed.
I asked quietly, “Do you like Sophia, Heath?” Heath sighed, “I’d rather not discuss her.” I backed off, “Ok, but if you want to talk, I’m here. It’s been three years since….” He looked away, “I know.” I hugged him. “I love you.” He smiled, “I love you too.” He squeezed me before saying, “I’ll look into this. Maybe this will be the break we need.”
I asked, “Are we still having lunch on Thanksgiving?” Heath said, “Yes, I’ll be monitoring a few things around dinnertime, so I’ll be unavailable then.” I nodded, “I’ll be there then for lunch.” He smiled, “I’m glad you’ll be home.” He flashed away.
I walked back inside. Haley casually asked, “So, what’s been going on?” I sighed and took another drink. I admitted, “I’m dating someone.” Haley nodded, “Yes, your lover man friend.” I told her, “He’s upset with me. Instead of talking about it, he walked out.”
Haley shrugged, “Then go hunt him down. You are super fucking fast. Or you could shoot him with an arrow to make him stay in the same place.” Ted and I snorted. I told her, “I don’t like those options.”
Haley smirked, “Then drink up, and call him later.” I laughed, “Guys don’t like drunk dials, Hales.” Haley snorted, “I bet you if you get that TeleTed vibrator you own out and call him he’d fucking love your drunk dial…. that’s what you called it... right?”
Ted answered, “Yes, that’s what it’s called.” Haley smiled. She snapped me enough drinks that I was tipsy, but not drunk. Haley asked, “So, this guy….?” I interrupted, “It’s still new. I’m not ready for…” I trailed off. Haley nodded, “Alright. You tell him he treats you well or he deals with me.” I tried to study her, but her emotions were on lockdown. Her face showed nothing. I laughed, “I will do that.”
Haley’s phone rang. She smiled answering, “Hello, Thor.” She put him on speaker phone. He greeted, “Angel, how is your girl’s night going?” Haley winked at me, “We were just discussing the art of a drunk dial. I’m told that’s what it’s called.” Eric laughed asking, “Who are we drunk dialing?”
Haley grinned then told him, “Well, first I need your opinion, my Alpha. The mini bad ass girl gang doesn’t think a man would appreciate a drunk dial where the caller is getting themselves off. I myself think any man would fucking love that phone call. I admit that I don’t have a very broad reference for this because I’ve only been intimate with you. What’s your opinion as a cultured Alpha?”
Eric growled, “Angel….” Haley moaned his name, “Errriiccc….” He growled. Ted and I bit back a laugh. She told us, “See guys? He’s definitely into it.” Eric ordered, “Pop home NOW, Angel.” Haley teased, “Will you spank me if I don’t?”
I choked on my drink. Ted gaped before he started to snicker. Eric growled, “Angel, not only will I spank you I think I’ll handcuff you to the bed, and have you conjure my flogger.” Haley didn’t even try to sound seductive when she said, “Maybe if you change that to the one where you cuff my hands by my ankles I could be enticed to pop my happy fucking self home.”
Eric growled, “The spreader. Haley, come home. Right. Fucking. Now.” Haley teased, “Come get me, my big bad Alpha wolf. I have made the game more interesting. I’m hard to fucking see because I’m in camo.”
Eric said, “You weren’t in camo when you left.” Haley giggled, “We needed girls night outfits. Tell you what, I’ll make it fair. I’ll pop to the border. Catch me if you dare.” She hung up. I told her, “Hales, it’s catch me if you can.” Haley tilted her head, “But he can catch me, it’s a dare. THIS REALM! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Follow my drunk dial phone call guide people.”
Ted winked at me then said, “Lead. Follow my lead.” Haley groaned, “But I literally gave you a fucking example!” She hugged me, “Call me anytime. Bye guys! This was fun!” She popped out and Ted and I drank two shots together.
He laughed, “Her idea of fun would be alcohol, a B&E, more alcohol, and taunting the most powerful Alpha in the world.” I shrugged, “It was fun. Are you going to take her advice even though Matt isn’t mad at you?” Ted said, “Matt is NOT happy with me. I lied trying to cover for you. I’m going to open our link and let my dirty talk as I touch myself bring him home to me.” I smiled, “I’ll warm Chase up on the phone. They have to be together. Then you’ll know when to link him.”
Ted laughed encouraging me, “Get on with your bad self then. God, somehow between the three of us Haley unlocked the secrets to relationships and men. If you had told me that even a year ago. I’d have laughed in your damn face.” I agreed then took out my phone.
I got distracted when Chase called me Sweetheart. I was so giddy. He didn’t sound mad anymore. I told him I could kick ass. Ted mouthed the word gym. Brilliant! I could show off my skills. He didn’t want me to fight. Well then how would I show him my kick ass skills? Silly man! I told him he’d get all hot and bothered. That would keep his mind off being mad.
I was about to start Haley’s advice when Chase said he was coming home. Ted laughed, “Whipped! He’s whipped. Don’t think I didn’t notice you called this home. You consider him with you here your home. That’s so adorable.” I frowned, “I didn’t get to rev him up, and he is home to me.” Ted amended the plan, “So go upstairs and start without him. He’ll hear it when he gets here.” I kissed him on the cheek, “I love the way you think TeleTed.” Ted announced, “I’m off to work up my own man.” I laughed and went upstairs.
I grabbed my vibrator and the lube in my nightstand. I discarded my clothes then started to play with my clit picturing Chase with me. I was soaking wet thinking of his rock hard abs. I slid the vibrator inside me and turned it on. I was moaning when my door slammed open. I said Chase’s name, but it was more of a plea. I needed him. When he growled and I could feel my arousal running down my thighs.
I was having an out of body experience. He just kept pushing me over the edge. He was tender and loving with me for several hours. I fell asleep once we’d finished feeling loved and like I was home.
When I woke up, I watched Chase sleep for a bit. I was really glad he came home. He woke up and told me he’d always come home to me. It was like he was speaking directly to my ovaries. They were ready to explode and have his baby. They needed to calm all the way down. I made a mental note Matt would get some flowers from me for helping us through our first fight.
I told him about my whole night and nearly laughed at his question about if we ran into Alfred. That was his question? Men. I got out of bed and got into the shower. Chase came in behind me. The second the water had warmed up he was playing with me. It took a little longer to get ready because Chase really liked shower sex.
He walked me outside, opened my car door, and then was gone in a second. I frowned. Kincade said, “He has something to deal with in his office.” I nodded, “Well, hop in.” We drove in a comfortable silence. I was honestly relieved they didn’t seem to be upset with me anymore.
When we got to the event space, I walked directly to the kitchen. I smiled when I saw who was there, “Susanna, I thought we might be seeing you today.” Susanna laughed, “Sally sent me a text. Our girl found her second chance string. How could I not show up? She deserves it after that shithead she dealt with. I’m a little tired though.”
