“Silla, what can we do about these nightmares?” I ask, pushing back sweat drenched hair from her forehead as I hold her.

“I need a distraction,” she rasps, body shaking. “Can we just get out of the city for a bit? Everything is almost in place for next week. Not knowing what he wants, and Cinder taunting me that I won’t like it is making me crazy.”

The pain of her period kept her in bed the last couple of days, so now that it’s just about gone, I can tell that she’s going stir crazy. Date day out of the city it is.

“I’ll plan something fun,” I promise, pulling her close to me.

Andrya sits up, her hazel eyes clouded with worry. It’s about six in the morning, and there’s no way that anyone will be able to sleep.

“Let’s grab a shower, Baby, okay? We’ll let the guys figure everything out. It’ll be fun to get out of the city for a bit,” she says softly, reaching out for Silla.

“Together?” Silla asks. I can tell she doesn’t want to be alone, and I ask with my eyes if Andrya can handle it.

“Yeah,” she affirms. “I’ll wash your hair for you, Silla.”

I smile at her, proud that she’s taking the step to be naked around Silla. Andrya takes a lot of showers, almost obsessed with the idea of being clean enough. I’m still worried about her, honestly. She used to be really brazen, openly sexual, and walked around naked without a care. The not so tender care inside the Queen’s dungeon made her quieter, more careful.

I can’t wait for her to be back to her normal self. I would love to play with both Andrya and Silla together, but that’s going to take some time. I’m a very patient man.

Silla crawls off the bed, disappearing into the bathroom, and I go off to look for the guys. It’s Goddamn early, I’m surprised they’re up.

Walking into the living room after throwing on some joggers, I smirk as I see them working out in the living room.

“They called me old,” Grayson mutters, doing crunches. “We wanted to let Silla sleep because she was tossing and turning, but it doesn’t look like that’s in the cards.”

“No, but I think we need a break. There’s a village about twenty minutes outside of the city that I think would be fun to take Silla to. Let’s get lost there for the day, eat at a local restaurant, and show our girl what she’s fighting for,” I suggest.

“Silla hasn’t really been outside of the city besides the camp, and that doesn’t count. It looks like it’ll be a pretty day, too, aside of the chill,” Gray grunts as he begins to stretch.

“We’ll need to figure out a car,” Sidney murmurs as he does a push up. I know that Sidney works out the most out of all of us, but it takes a lot for him to even break a sweat. “Should we reach out to Falcon about borrowing a car?”

“He’ll want to tag along,” Ayden huffs, matching Sidney push up for push up. Poor man is a bit flushed, and I wonder how long it’ll be before he taps out.

“I don’t think that’s a bad thing,” I counter. “Silla told us yesterday that she wants to spend more time with him, so this is a good time.”

“What about the baby brother?” Ayden asks with a smirk.

“Gods he’s like nineteen,” I chuckle. “He’s not a baby. Poor kid. I don’t know if Silla is interested, honestly. If he tags along, then fine. We’re just hanging out, getting Silla’s mind off things.”

“Alright, I’ll call Falcon then,” Sidney says, finishing his last push up to reach for his phone. “It’s going to be chilly today, with possible snow flurries. It won’t stick or anything, but ‘Drya and Silla get cold easily.”

“I’ll suggest layers. Gray, we should eat before we go, so—”

“I’ll get breakfast started before I shower,” he finishes for me.

“Thank you.” I smirk. As Gray stands, I walk over to wrap my hand around the back of his neck. We haven’t done much since our shower, but I want to try. I hate how awkward our relationship became after our time in the dungeons. “Good morning.”

Gray gives me this slow, sexy smile that makes my heart beat faster. Holy fuck. “Good morning. Your move, sexy.”

Indeed. Leaning slowly, I angle my mouth to cover his lips. Gray fists his hands in my joggers, pulling me close. I can feel his hard length against mine and groan as I rock my erection against his. Fuck, I haven’t even had my morning piss yet, and I’m already horny.

I deepen the kiss, and Gray goes with it. His tongue sweeps across my lip, making me shiver. We have an audience which usually wouldn’t be an issue, but there’s not enough time to do what I want to him.

Ending the kiss with a frustrated huff, I pull away, opening my eyes.

“You should always say good morning like that.” Gray winks, rubbing my bottom lip with his thumb. “Go get the girls moving.”

I watch him as he disappears into the kitchen, turning to see Sidney and Ayden staring at me amusedly.
