My eyes are wide as I try to take everything in, careful not to release my death grip on Gavin.
His chuckle soothes my soul as we take a sharp turn, my fingers gripping his shirt tighter.
I can’t remember a time in my life when I’ve felt so… free.
Tears spring to my eyes, so many different emotions hitting me all at once.
The ride to Calling Wood is so quick that when we pull up to the gates, I find myself starting to panic.
I don’t want this to end. I’m not ready to let this feeling go. I want to see what else being with these men could bring.
It might seem crazy because I just met them, have hardly had a conversation with them, and they still don’t even know my damn name.
Yet, everything inside me is screaming not to let them go. That if I walked through that gate, I’d regret not seeing where things went.
That's why when Gavin asks if I’m okay, I shake my head.
“What's wrong?” he asks, his voice filled with worry as he cuts off the engine.
“I… I don’t want to go inside,” I mumble, not having any clue what's come over me.
I’m the girl who didn’t want to settle down, who's been so picky with her men that I never thought I’d find anyone I was interested enough in.
But these men... fuck, these men have me wanting more. I want to know that there’s a possibility that if we spent more time together, then they could want something more with me, too.
“Then don’t go inside,” he replies, starting up the bike again. “How about we go for another ride? See where the road takes us?”
Closing my eyes, I smile against his shoulder and nod my head. “I’d like that,” I say back to him as something inside me settles.
“Before we go, mind telling me the name of the pretty little Omega wrapped around me so damn perfectly?” His soft chuckle has me shivering.
I let out a tiny laugh. “I guess you’ve earned it. It’s Lulu.”
“Lulu.” He purrs. “Mhhm, I do like how that sounds on my tongue.”
So do I apparently.
“What’s going on?” Brady shouts. “Everything okay?”
“Not ready to let this little one go yet,” Gavin yells back. “Think we’re gonna keep her for a little while longer.”
My heart nearly bursts out of my chest when Brady chuckles. “Sounds like the best fucking idea you've had in a long time, brother.”
I bite my lower lip, trying not to overthink too much and just enjoy the good feelings rushing through my veins.
I’ve always lived a sheltered life, and even after everything changed, I still played it safe. Some part of me always worried that if I went too far from the center, or even Calling Wood, something bad would happen; that the world wasn’t safe, that there were bad people out there who wanted to get me, to hurt me.
As my arms snake around Gavin’s broad chest, his cinnamon and mint scent fills my nose and some part of my heart, maybe even my soul, knows that I’m safe with him and his brother. Something tells me these men wouldn’t let anything happen to me, even if I were just some stranger to them.
Another part of me screams that I’m stupid to put this kind of trust into men I don’t know. Men who could hurt me if they wanted to. They could take me far away, and no one would know where I went.
But it was a risk I was willing to take. Because until today, I’ve been playing it safe.
Now, it’s time to finally live for me. For once, I’m choosing what I want to do instead of what I should do.
Gavin’s bikestarts to slow the closer we get to the fence at the end of the back road we’ve been traveling on for the past five minutes.
I’ve been so distracted by the excitement of riding on the back of a sexy biker’s motorcycle and the beauty of the world around me that I didn’t pay attention to the possible danger around me.
