They waited in the car while I jumped out of the passenger seat and headed in to change. I pulled out one of my many Knockout shirts and changed into some athletic shorts before grabbing my socks and tennis shoes.
After I had those on, I decided that a ponytail and hat would be good for my fair skin in the sun.
I stopped in front of the mirror, adjusting my clothes and hair. A smile formed on my face as I took it all in. The outfit and ponytail were adorable and I looked genuinely happy.
It was a relief to know the assholes in my inbox and who wrote about our business hadn’t shaken me as much as I thought. Or maybe that was the effect of my pack being there for me. Proving they were worth my time.
When I appeared on my front porch whistles and catcalls echoed out of the waiting SUV. My cheeks burned as a huge smile lit up my face.
Damn, they were adorable. They really knew how to make an omega feel good.
They’d rolled down the passenger and back windows so I could see all three of them smiling at me, matching looks of heat on their faces.
"Excuse me, alphas, I have boyfriends and they will kick your ass if they hear you whistling at me like that," I teased as Iwalked up to the passenger door and opened it, sliding into my seat. Cy leaned over and buckled me in, not at all subtle as he took a deep breath then ran his cheek over mine, scent-marking me again.
"Damn right we will," Griff said, indignant at just the thought, which only made me laugh harder.
Cy sat back down and pulled away from the curb, making the short drive to the camp.
"If we didn't have practice after camp, we could just walk to the field. Unfortunately, we’ll have to head there straight away," he said, flashing me an apologetic smile.
"I'm excited to see what you guys really do. I get my very own behind the scenes look at your lives," I told them, practically bouncing in my seat.
"Are you going to spy on us in the showers, too?" Cy joked.
"Not if the whole team is in there, that's too many dicks for me," I teased, wrinkling my nose at the thought. Three was more than enough.
"And we don't share," Griff grunted.
"Neither do I," I retorted, raising an eyebrow at him.
"You're the only one for us," Jackson said simply, giving me that smile that always made me return it.
Taryn got her perfect pack and now I had mine. I still couldn't believe my luck. These three alphas were everything I could have asked for.
Cy pulled up in front of the camp, quickly leading me out to the field. The first thing I noticed was how run down they were. I made a mental note to talk to the girls about a fundraiser to fix them up. This would be where Taryn's twins would learn the game and I wanted the best for them.
Their Aunt Dani would even coach them. That thought had me smiling even more.
"What are you thinking about, over there?" Cy asked.
"Coaching the twins here," I admitted. "Coach Dani has a good ring to it, huh?"
"Just the twins?" Griff asked before we all climbed out of the SUV.
"Well, it depends on the other little ones that want to play," I answered with a shrug. Outside of the summer camp I wasn’t even sure if there were any little leagues around here.
"What if they’re ours?" Jackson questioned, not even bothering to hide his excitement at the thought.
Alphas and their constant need to keep us omegas pregnant, I swear.
"Yeah, but the twins will be the first ones old enough. If and when we have kids, you three are babysitting while I coach.”
They just shook their heads at my sassy comment.
"Whenwe have kids," Cy corrected with all the confidence of an alpha. He gave me a look that dared me to argue as he held out a hand for me.
"It’s not babysitting if they’re ours, but I’ll gladly take care of our babies while you coach," Jackson said.
