"It's okay, you can have dibs on me tonight," I told Kade and he rewarded me with a smile. "This place is really nice, guys." It was, it just needed a feminine touch.
"Well, let's order food and make you at home," Archer suggested. "We like Chinese food around here, does that sound good?"
"Sure." I headed back downstairs, relishing the feel of the carpet under my feet.
Kade led me into the living room and insisted I sit on the reclining sofa while he got me a drink. "What do you like? We have wine, soda, beer . . ."
"Just a soda," I assured him and he ran off to get it.
Once the food arrived and we were all sitting around the coffee table piled high with takeout containers, Kade insisted on piling food on my plate. "You're too skinny," he told me. "I'm not body-shaming, but you look hungry."
"I am hungry." I took the plate from him "Thank you, Kade."
"So, we need to discuss the fact that we have you listed as pack," River said. "Archer filed the paperwork and made a false claim that we had already claimed you. It would have been best to check with you ahead of time, but we weren't able to. We didn't want to leave you in that place more than we had to.
"Good. It wasn't fun." I shuddered, remembering the skinny alpha. "I don't know how long I could have survived there. Thank you for coming for me."
"We will always come for you, princesa," Orion said seriously. "Don't ever doubt that."
"What do you need from me for the paperwork?"
"Nothing, it's already done. But we do need to know if you're okay with being pack."
"Are you going to take me as your omega in reality, not just on paper?"
"Of course!" Orion told me.
"Then I'm good. But I do want to know what you're thinking about bonds. It was a miracle no one bit me during my heat. We should have a plan for that in the future."
"Do you want our bites?" Orion asked carefully.
I nodded. "I think so. I never thought I'd say that, but there's something about you guys that makes me want to stick around. But, I'm not ready just yet."
"Not a problem," Archer snuggled up to my other side. "You can take as long as you like."
"There's still some bad feelings, too, right?" River said, looking at me carefully. "I don't know if you can ever forgive us for what we did to you, me in particular."
I leaned back on the sofa, Archer on one side, Kade on the other. "I've already told you that I was very hurt. I'm not sure how to fix that. Coming to save me definitely helped boost a bit of trust, but what if you decide in the future that you don't want me after all? What if you want to get rid of me because we argue or something?"
"You want committment, I'll commit." Kade scooped me onto his lap yet again. "Tell me what you want. A ring? A ceremony? I'll do whatever you want to prove my loyalty lies with you."
"We're all willing to do that," Archer said.
"You can start by feeding me," I said playfully as the doorbell rang.
A few minutes later, Kade was taking that very literally. He had me on his lap and fed me each bite of my meal, watching my reaction to see which dishes were my favorite.
"Sweet and sour pork or lemon chicken?" he asked after having me try each one.
"Lemon chicken."
A smile spread across his face. "Good girl."
"He only eats lemon chicken, chicken chow mein, and plain rice," Archer told me. "That's why we order Chinese so often, this guy doesn't like new restaurants."
"I like a few." Kade offered me another bite of lemon chicken, but I shook my head, too full to eat more. "That Italian place is decent."
"Because they sell the salads you enjoy," Orion laughed.
