“Excellent plan,” Caleb adds, scooping them up, leaving only the pictures of me and him on the chest of draws. “These can go into the living room.”

He drops a kiss on my nose, and I spin in his arms, wrapping my own around his neck. “This is wonderful,” I say.

“You can show me how wonderful later.” He drops a kiss on my lips, just as Gabriel barges in.

“Put her down,” he says, covering his eyes and making me laugh. “You have a houseful of people.”

We both laugh, Caleb’s arms still around my waist.

“The boys have arrived,” he says, as Caleb groans.

I look at him, half amused, half surprised.

“They wanted to wish you a happy housewarming,” Caleb says, looking apologetic. I step out of his arms and grin.

“Really?” I can’t believe how much love everyone is showing me as I make my way back into the main room.

“There’s the lady of the hour,” Tristan shouts, pointing to the three cases of wine he’s placed on the kitchen unit.

“I hope that’s the good stuff,” Caleb says from behind me, and I shoot him a look.

“Only the best for your girl,” Tristan says, winking at me.

I approach him and give him a hug.

“Thank you,” I say, trying hard not to let the emotion show in my voice.

He looks down at me and smiles, the warmth in his eyes, letting me know he’s here because he’s chosen to be.

“Don’t forget us,” Quentin and Xander say in unison, both holding presents wrapped with enormous bows.

I can’t keep the smile off my face as I approach them both, taking their gifts and giving them both a kiss on the cheek.

“She’s mine,” Caleb says, growling at his friends, while it’s my turn to smirk.

“We know,” they all say together, holding up their hands and laughing. Caleb’s possessiveness sending a warm fuzzyfeeling through me. I experienced the same feeling when he was approached at dinner. I never thought I’d have possessive thoughts towards anyone. But where Caleb Frazer is concerned,he’s mine.

The impromptu housewarming party goes on late into the night. With no-one else living nearby, there’s no risk of my neighbours complaining. By the time Caleb and I fall into our new bed, I’m happy Harper had the foresight to make it up. I sink into its comfort and groan in delight.

“You’re only supposed to make those sounds when I’m touching you,” Caleb says, pulling me into his arms and spooning me from behind.

“And I do, but this mattress.”

Caleb chuckles in my ear. “That’s okay. You can moan at the mattress and me in the morning, but right now, I think we both need some sleep.”

“Deal,” I say, snuggling into his arms, my eyes drifting closed. “I love you,” I say, before the world goes dark.

CHAPTER 69

CALEB

Iwalk into Mount Crystals to find my sisters already at the table. I shouldn’t be surprised. Despite their age gap, these two are getting closer.

“There he is,” Kat says, getting up and dropping a kiss on my cheek.

Harper does the same.

“No, April?” Harper says, sounding disappointed. She seems to have hit it off with April. I see her name popping up on April’s phone all the time.
