Chapter 617
“I was just getting some dirt off of her face, that you put there, that’s all.” He just smiles and I stop breathing. Man. These men of mine and their little panty melting half smiles. I am such a sucker. “Well, it’s my turn to clean her up or get her dirty. So just step right on back to your magic training.” They both laugh and Dakota starts to turn me around when we bump into Oliver.
That’s the only time I don’t register a presence next to me, when they are trying to and succeeding in riling me up with their ability to turn my hormones from zero to a hundred.
“Cam’s right though, you are perfect and we will worry about you no matter what badassery you can do. Never forget that.” Oliver rubs his thumb over my other cheek, like he’s leaving a little piece of himself with me when he walks away to work with Cam, Elena and Gentry.
“No offense, Little Bit, but I am so glad I don’t have to share.” Sam laughs at us, wrapping Sierra up in his arms. I just roll my eyes. Of course he would need to be the center of attention in his mates world. She doesn’t even acknowledge his comment though.
“So sweet! Does it take a ton of energy to maintain? I know the pentagram magic made you weak and almost unconscious.” Sierra asks. I see so much of her mom in her now that I have met her parents. She can’t help being curious.
“That one didn’t feel too bad. More like stretching a muscle I don’t use very often than an energy drain.”
“Not gonna lie. It was kind of hard to watch you fight the three of them. I don’t know if can look past the ‘little sister’ thing. But it is fun to watch you put all of them in their
places at the same time
laugh and gives me a hug. “We are going to head out though,
running in the next patrols are
I
want to get some sleep in while I still have the chance.” He takes Jena’s hand and starts to lead her away, but she hesitates and stops to give me a hug.
“We really need an actual girls day, when we aren’t under an indefinite imminent threat. I miss you.” She whispers in my ear.
I hugged her. “Miss you too and I agree. Go, make my brother happy and calm.” I whisper back.
She giggles and lets him drag her
off. I get the Sentiment. I want to hang out with just her and Sierra and Lil, but I also cannot even fathom
ggut
being out of sight of my mates right now. It’s weird being of two minds about it. Lil and Sierra both hug me too then head off with Sam.
“I think we have had enough training. for one day What do you say we eat and then get cleaned up and just see where the rest of the day takes us?” Kota picks me up and spins me so I am facing him with my legs sitting comfortably on his hips.
And just like that he throws my need to keep them all in my sights out the window with the deep look of desire in his eyes.
“I think I like the sound of that plan.”
I screech and then laugh as he takes off out of the arena.
