Waking up with them had been heaven.

She straightened her shoulders. “After we call your mom, we’ll call my parents.”

“Are you sure?” Rhaider asked.

“I am. I want them to know I’ve found you both, and how happy I am. I’m excited that you’re in my life now, and I want to share that with them.”

“We’ll be right there with you,” Rafe said.

She blew out a breath. “Good! I might need some emotional support.”

“You got it,” Rhaider said, giving her a wink.

Chapter Nine

While they ate, they discussed living arrangements. Rebel and Maverick were happy to stay in the B&B until they found a more permanent place. Titus had given Rafe a list of homes for rent in town.

“I think we should consider moving to a larger home,” Rhaider said.

“Because you need space to practice?” Demi asked.

“Yes, but also because there’s three of us, and eventually we’ll be mated and start a family. Rafe and I shared a bedroom growing up. It’s fine when you’re young, but after a certain point everyone wants their own space.”

“Do you mind?” Rafe asked, setting the last plate in the dishwasher.

“Mind what?” she asked.

“Not living next to Hemi and Annie.”

Her brows went up. “I hadn’t really thought of that. I’ll miss him, of course, but I kind of doubt he and Annie will stay in their place once they start a family, too. If we move out, maybe Rebel and Maverick could stay there.”

“That’s a good idea,” Maverick said and Rebel agreed.

“Cool,” Rhaider said. “Well, that’s you guys figured out. We can look at the houses after we talk to our parents.”

“I was thinking, actually,” she said, toying with her empty glass, “that we could go home after we see my parents. Assuming they want to meet up with us, that is.”

“Oh?” Rafe asked.

“Sure.” Her eyes got a little darker and the faint scent of her arousal caught Rafe’s attention. “You’re going to be working tonight, and if we spend the day looking at houses, we might not have any time to spend together. We could go see houses tomorrow.”

“Anything in particular you want to do this afternoon?” Rhaider drawled.

Rafe grinned. “I don’t know about our sweetheart, butIhave some ideas.”

“That’s our cue to leave,” Rebel said as he pushed back in his chair. “I’m going back to bed.”

“Me too,” Maverick said.

“See you at the bar later,” Rafe said.

Demi’s eyes were dancing. “I have some ideas of my own. Let’s see where the day takes us.”

“Then let’s get out of here and call Mom,” Rafe said. “And then your parents.”

Rhaider texted their mom and asked if she could video chat, and a few minutes later, they were outside of the B&B on a bench using Rhaider’s phone to video chat with her.

“Hi boys,” their mom said.
