“Thanks,” I said, letting that jealousy slip away and focusing on what I could do to keep myself busy, instead. “I’m going to gather her things.”

Ash didn’t follow me out, giving me a minute to myself as I walked out to the fire, gathering up her things and putting out the fire.

Once everything was safely inside and the house was blessedly quiet, I let myself take a long shower.

Someone crawling into bed woke me up. It felt like I’d barely passed out but Taryn was burrowing into my chest as the sun blinded me.

“Why do you have no curtains?” she whined as she threw my blanket over her head.

I chuckled. “I’d sleep all day if I did. How are you feeling?”

She yawned and poked her head out to look at me. “Tired. Holt is insane and left to do chores before the sun was even fully up. I couldn’t bring myself to do the same but then I couldn’t sleep alone, so I came to find you.”

My chest warmed that she sought me out and I grinned. “I’m glad you’re here, baby. What do you think about having our date today? I’m dying to find out which book you picked. Especially before Ash steals you away to see his shop since we’re home today.”

“I’ve been carrying it with me,” she admitted. “Let’s do it. I can take more videos and then some at Ash’s shop, and then do all the editing at once.”

“As long as we can stay here for a few more minutes.”

"More than a few minutes," she moved even closer to me, throwing a leg over mine and pulling me to her.

I could get used to this, and as much as I wanted to claim her, she needed rest. I would wait for her till the end of time if that's what she wanted.

"Got room for one more?" Ash asked just after my eyes had closed to bask in her warmth.

"Sure, but you're not snuggling with me, too," I told him, getting a laugh from Taryn.

"Shit, but you look so cuddly," he remarked as he slid in on the other side of our girl.

"Shh, we are sleeping in," Taryn muttered before she yawned.

"So, it's not a farm life for her, huh?" Ash asked with a chuckle.

"Books, I pick books," she grumbled from under the cover. She sounded so sleepy and put out that we couldn’t help but laugh.

"Safe to say, we aren't going to get more sleep. I need a shower and some coffee," Taryn said, sitting up between us and casting us a half-hearted glare.

Ash groaned but we sat up at the same time.

"Fine, I'll throw on some pants and get you coffee," Ash told her, "but I want a kiss first."

Taryn obliged before turning her attention to me, "Sorry for waking you, too. I didn't want you to feel left out."

The next thing I knew she was straddling me and nuzzled in. She trailed her cheek from mine, then down my neck as she scent marked me.

A groan bubbled out of my lips before I could stop it. All that did was encourage her to go lower. I didn't want her to stop but I knew she had to be sore and I didn't want her to think we had to do this since she'd been with the other two.

I cupped her face and guided it back to mine before I kissed her on the lips. She deepened it and wiggled a little on my lap.

"Let's get you in the shower, Ash will be back in a few with that coffee," I reminded her after I ended the kiss.

"Killjoy," she muttered, studying me first. Likely to make sure I wasn’t upset or rejecting her. Finally, she sighed. “I guess, you're right."

"Don't worry, my omega. I have an idea or two for our first time and I promise it will be magical," I told her, ignoring my cock that had ideas of its own.

"I know it will be," she said as she gave me one more kiss and hopped off, not just me, but the bed.

"I'll go grab your bag and leave it in the bathroom for you," I called as she left to shower.
