“Fuck no!” I scoff.

“Then don’t, stay with us. It’s looking like it’s going to be ridiculously hard for us to be away from each other now, and we all want you to stay with us.” Jax says.

Surely it couldn’t be that easy? Just don’t go back to that witches’ house.

“I agree with Jax, Darling but one thing at a time. You don’t have to make a decision now.” He says calmly.

I nod in agreement and smile softly, glad that I don’t have to think about it right now.

“I can send one of the guys over to pack some of your things and stock up the alcohol. Is this all ok with you?” Levi asks.

I take a while to think about it. I honestly do not want to deal with my mother and the rest of the plan they suggested sounds like it will work.

“I agree but I have one adjustment to make, when one of you goes to pick up my things and drop the alcohol off could you also deliver a note that I will write explaining what’s happening as well. My mother is more likely to believe it if I leave a note too, I’d like to cover all of my bases in case I do have to go back.”

“Good idea.” Hunter agrees handing me a notepad and pen. “Although, I really hope you don’t go back, Sweetheart.”

“What about the ongoing case here? Mr. S can’t expect us to just abandon it surely?” Jax asks.

“No, he’s sending another team down to run surveillance, temporarily.”Levi tells them.

Everyone nods in agreement and I hand my note to Hunter who seems to have self-appointed himself as the one who is going to go to my mothers’ house.

“No-one is to go anywhere alone; Brent is still around and looking for Sage. Hunter take Jax with you to go to her mothers and be vigilant. We leave in three hours, after lunch. Kai and Mav pack the bags and sort the notes out for the temporary team.” Hunter warns us all.

Everyone starts to get up and sets off to do their tasks, I think of what I can do to help.

“I’m going to make lunch for everyone.” I state making my way to the kitchen to have a look at what groceries they have, so I know what I’m working with to make us lunch.

“You don’t have to do that, Sweetheart.” Hunter says.

“I know, I want to.”

“Ok, Darling. Everyone be back here by midday for lunch. We leave at one.”

Everyone sets off to do their own tasks, leaving me in my own world in the kitchen.

Chapter Twelve

Searching through the kitchen cupboards I find all the ingredients to make steak sandwiches and homemade chips with a salad.I start to put together all of the ingredients to make the sandwiches, enjoying being able to cook proper food in a clean and well stocked kitchen. The music coming from the small docking station in the corner instantly has me shaking my hips along to the beat as I work andit takes no time at all before everything is ready.I'm just finishing plating everything up when I turn around and see all of my guys standing behind the large kitchen island. It separates the kitchen from the dining area. All of them with large shit eating grins on their faces.

"How long have you been there?" I ask, desperately hoping they’ve only just walked in and didn’t witness my impromptu kitchen dance party for one.

"Long enough to see you shake your beautiful ass all around our kitchen." Kai smirks.

Hunter reaches behind Levi so he can reach Kai, and lightly smacks him on the back of the head.

"What was that for?” Kai exclaims, glaring at Hunter. “You were thinking ittoo." Kai grumbles, rubbing his head.

"Fair point, but I didn’t voice it out loud.” Hunter smirks at Kai, who starts grumbling under his breath. Hunter turns his attention back to me and winks, before giving me the first full grin I have ever gotten from him or even seen.

I stare wide eyed at him for a moment, completely lost for words.

"Holy fuck! You have dimples!" I blurt out before rapidly smacking my hand over my mouth, and feel the heat of a blush rush to my cheeks, damn my lack of filter.

It’s silent for a few moments before each of the guys burst out into loud, raucous laughter.Deciding to own it, since at this point my only other option is to melt into an embarrassed little puddle on the kitchen floor, I walk up to an adorably blushing Hunter and step up onto mytiptoes.I lightly kiss his cheek right over his dimple, flicking my tongue into it slightly before giggling and dancing out of the reach of his grasping hands.

"I'll get you back for that, Sweetheart!" Hunter calls after me.
