“Oh.” She looks over at me as she runs her hand along the dresser. “And how do you like it?”

“It’s nice.” I nod, taking the room in. The walls are a dark army green. The dresser and side tables are light gray with a comforter to match. There’s nothing on the walls or dressers. No personal touches.

Now that things are going good with Abby and the guys, I’ll have to bring everyone here another time. I feel like this place would be perfect if we need to just escape our lives for a little bit.

Honestly, a part of me feels like just telling the others to come here, and we forget about our problems. Sadly, that’s not how life works.

I’m not sure what my dad or the others have been up to, but I can say I’m glad he’s being open-minded with not wanting me to be with Heather and having Abby as my mate.

Maybe some day I can tell him about Isaac and Luke. But I don’t see that day being any time soon. Not until we find out what Michael is up to.

“It needs a few things in here that shows this is your room,” Abby comments, sitting on the bed with a little bounce.

I smile, walking over to her until I’m towering over her. I cup her face, brushing her cheek with my thumb. “Our room.” I lean in and place a soft kiss on her plush lips, loving the little hum she gives me as she kisses me back. I could easily become addicted.

I’m not like Luke and Isaac when it comes to sex. I mean in the way that I don’t always think about it. I love sex, I love having sex with Isaac and Luke, to get lost in the moment and give myself to them. I trust them with my life and my body. But sex isn’t always on my mind. It’s just something I’m used to with the guys, so I don’t feel the need to always think about it when I’m getting the attention I need regularly.

But it’s not like that when I’m around Abby. I crave her, need her, and never in my life have I thought about sex as much as I do when she’s in the same room with me. Actually, even just the mention of her has my mind wandering to some pretty dirty places.

I’ve heard her with Zed and Leo before. I didn’t go looking to overhear, it's just, I don’t think Abby knows how...vocalshe is.

It’s so sexy. Her moans and cries are on repeat in my mind. I want to make her feel good, to have her making those sounds for me.

“Noah,” Abby says with amusement in her voice. “Lost you there for a moment.”

“Sorry.” There goes that stupid blush again. Another thing I never really did before meeting Abby. There’s something about her that turns me into this ball of nerves and I find myself caring way too much about what she thinks of me. Not that her opinion of me doesn’t matter, it does. It’s just... the thing is... I’ve never cared about what anyone thought of me.

But I want her to like me. Part of me is afraid she will let the past overrule the present; that she’ll tell Luke, Isaac, and me to get fucked before walking away with Zed and Leo. Not that we wouldn’t deserve that.

“Do you want to unpack anything?” I ask her.

“Sure.”

We head back down to the front room and grab our bags. I watch as Abby puts her clothes in piles. “I guess I won’t be needing these.” She laughs, putting her shorts, dresses, and t-shirts back into her bag. “But I’m glad I brought these.” She picks out a sweater and a pair of jeans from her clothes and leaves them on the bed before putting everything else in the dresser. “I know we're only going to be here two nights, but it’s easier than digging through everything every time.” She gives me a playful smile. “Also, if I leave anything, it gives us a reason to come back here.”

She doesn’t need to make up a reason to come back here. All she has to do is say the words and I’ll make it happen.

I’m starting to see that I’d do just about anything she asks of me, as long as she’s happy and I get to see that smile.

As I finish putting my things in the dresser, something in the mirror over the dresser catches my eye.

My heart starts to race and my breathing picks up, my palms growing sweaty as I watch Abby pull her shirt off. My eyes fall to her breasts almost spilling from her bra, down her belly to where her hands meet her shorts.

Licking my lips, I watch as if it’s slow motion while she undresses. My throat bobs as I swallow, my thoughts immediately going to touching her, feeling her soft creamy skin under my hands.

“Noah.” Her voice has me snapping up to look her in the eyes, still watching through the mirror.

“Y-yes.”

“Just checking that you're still here with me.” She grins as she grabs her sweater and pulls it on, her pants following.

I let out a shaky breath as I will my cock to calm the hell down.

“You know,” she walks over to me and I spin around to face her. “If any of the thoughts going through your handsome mind were for you to come over and touch me.” She leans up, her hands on my chest as she whispers in my ear. “Next time, don’t hesitate to do it.”

I groan as she sucks my ear lobe into her mouth, giving it a little nibble. A full body shiver takes over me as I forget how to breathe.

“Now, how about we head into town, so you can feed your hungry mate?” she asks, stepping away from me. I miss her as soon as she’s gone and wish I had wrapped my arms around her, carried her to the bed, and had my way with her.
