Page 40 of Whispered Warnings: Part One

“Your eyes are closed,” Ransom says.

“Nuh-uh,” I reply, knowing full well that my eyes are closed.

“You fuckers,” River grumbles from the bed.

Raiden groans, “I was enjoying my cuddles.”

I open one of my eyes since the other one hasn't woken up yet, and search for my leggings, finding them on the floor, I bend down to grab them and then pull them on, inadvertently flashing both Raiden and River, my ass.

“Well, I’m up now,” River teases, and I glance over my shoulder to his heated eyes, still staring at my ass.

I laugh, “Perv. Come on pastries!”

“Fine,” River says and pushes Raiden, “get up.”

“Dude, I’m more awake than you are,” Raiden replies.

Doc and Ransom start laughing as the two in the bed start a pillow fight, and I try to resist the urge to join in because rolling around on the bed with two half-naked men sounds like a dream come true, actually.

“It’s like a comedy show,” Ransom chuckles.

I look around my room to distract myself and say, “I really need to get some more clothes today.”

“We can go after we have finished our reports today,” Doc says.

I point to where my report is still on the desk, “I did mine last night before I went to sleep.”

“You didn’t need to. There was no rush to get it done,” Ransom replies with a frown.

I shrug, “It’s become a habit.”

“Huh?” Raiden asks from behind me.

“I had to get the reports to HID within the first few hours of the job being over. The only time they ever waived that was when I was unconscious for whatever reason, but even then, they wanted it within the first hour of me being awake. I have written reports with internal bleeding before, that was not fun.” I explain as I stretch out a kink in my back.

“The more I learn about the people you worked with at HID the more I want to go through unofficial channels in order to deal with them,” River growls from behind me.

“If we’re doing that then I get to play first,” my smile is sharp and deadly and there is no mistaking the kind of playing that I mean. It won’t be the fun kind, well not for them, for me it’s definitely going to be fun.

“That was hot,” River whispers theatrically.

I chuckle, “Come on, I need food.”

We all leave my room and head to the kitchen, getting raised eyebrows from Van and Reed when we all enter together.

“You found them then,” Reed says as he sips his coffee.

His dark hair is all messed up from sleeping on it and his face is still slightly rumpled, showing that he woke up not long before Doc and Ransom woke us up, it’s fucking adorable.

“They were snuggled up to Neith,” Doc grins as he takes a seat and helps himself to the food and coffee.

I take that as permission to do the same and load my plate up.

“Lucky fuckers,” Reed comments, echoing Ransom’s statement from before.

These guys are good for my ego. We all eat in silence for a while as everyone slowly starts to wake up properly, and I glance out of the huge glass doors that practically take up the entire wall opposite the table that we are sitting at and realize that it looks like it’s morning.

“Did we sleep for the entire day and night?” I ask, looking around at the others.
