It was a testament to how tired he was that he didn’t give a fight. He just pulled his jeans off, his shirt fell to the floor as he climbed onto the bed to flop on his stomach. He was asleep in mere seconds. I hadn’t even managed to get undressed.

“Man has a toned ass,” Seth chuckled from where he sat and pulled the comforter around Wyn.

“Now I know why you never drove when the others were available.” I glared at Cody. “You’re horrid! Stop playing chicken with the truck drivers! Jasper, say something!”

Jasper just laughed from the front seat, playing a game on his phone. “Let him have his fun. He’s not as bad as Axel.”

It had just turned six in the morning. We were all hyped up on coffee. When I had said I wanted to go to Texas, the guys had mobilized and we left around eight last night.

We would have left sooner, but I’d ended up watching them give each other blow jobs. Cody was such a brat. I knew I was going to be addicted to watching my mates make love to each other too.

“We’re almost there, right?” I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t have to see my life flash before my eyes.

“Almost.” Cody was laughing at me. “How are you feeling about seeing Felicity?”

Talk about a mood killer. The back of my head thumped against the seat.

“I want to hate her. She lied to me and Axel. She targeted him to kill him, even if she didn’t want to.” I rubbed my temples. “She’s also the best friend I’ve ever had. She believed in me and pushed me past my comfort zone at school.” That felt like years instead of just a few months ago. “So, I don’t know. I’m probably going to slap her before I hug her.”

“I find that answer vague and unconvincing,” Jasper quoted Rogue One.

“Not helpful!” My eyes opened and I leaned forward to flick him in the ear.

He dodged, grabbing my hand and kissed the inner wrist, making me blush. He didn’t even look up from his game.

“That was smooth.” Cody slapped his leg as he laughed. “You have to admit he wins with that.”

“I’m not admitting anything.” I stuck my tongue out at both of them just as I noticed we turned into a cute neighborhood. “We’re here?”

“Less than a mile.” Cody slowed down just to mess with me.

I ignored him and called Seth. He answered after a few rings. His voice was sleep roughened and my toes curled.

“Baby?”

How could just a nickname make me squirm?

“We’re almost there!” I tried not to squeak. “Wake up and let us in.”

“Yes, ma’am.” I could hear him sit up and the rustle of sheets. “Come get your mates, baby.”

Oh, fuck. I dropped the phone and slapped my hands on my cheeks.

Jasper and Cody glanced back at me and both laughed as we pulled into a driveway. The garage door opened to reveal Seth in his boxers and hair down.

The car wasn’t even put in park as I threw open the door and jumped out. Seth opened his arms as I basically tackled him.

His scent surrounded me as I took a deep breath. Home. Now everything was okay because all of my mates were close together again.

“Mmm. I missed you.” Seth ran his nose up my neck as he tightened his arms around me. “I didn’t think you’d get here this early.”

“Cody drove the last few hours.” I pulled back a little as the other two joined us. “That cut an hour or so down.”

Seth stiffened slightly. “Cody drove?”
