party. I’ll never be found again. The pillows surprised her and she wanted to laugh, but she stopped herself. There were at least a dozen, and it made her wonder who the hell decorated this particular room. It was almost girly, and that hadn’t been what she expected, especially since the rest of the place was quite masculine.
Taking a deep breath, she inhaled and knew immediately that neither man spent any real time in this particular room. Maybe they didn’t decorate it after all.
“Charlie and I both have our own rooms further down the hall. This room was built and decorated with our future mate in mind. I hope you like it.” His voice was monotone, as if he expected her to hate it.
“It’s lovely,” she croaked before clearing her throat.
“I’m glad you like it.” His grin lit up the entire room, and Emily couldn’t resist. She smiled back.
“I’ll go and get your bags right now. Why don’t you consider taking a shower…or uh…a bath?” He stumbled out before quickly leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.
Walking around the room, Emily brushed her hand over a wide wooden dresser. There were various shelves set up along the wall that stood empty. She started to imagine her little knickknacks sitting there, her artwork on the walls, and pictures lining the dresser. Was she really thinking that this could actually be her home ? Her mind, heart, and body were all pulling her in different directions. The bear wanted her mates, period. The woman only wanted to be loved and accepted.
Shoulders dropping, Emily started stripping off her clothes, throwing them onto the floor. She needed a nice, hot bath. Hell, she needed her bag and toy. Maybe once her body was properly sated, she could start thinking. Once she was gloriously naked, she stretched out her back. She was really looking forward to investigating the bathroom. If it was anything like the surprise she found here, it would be quite impressive.
“Holy shit,” a voice behind her whispered right before something hard hit the floor.
Emily whirled around, crossing her right arm over her breasts and covering her pussy with her left hand. She bent her body over and started sidestepping to the bathroom. Cole stood in the doorway, his mouth slightly open, staring at her. Charlie was peeking over his shoulder. Both of them weren’t moving to leave. In fact, they were following her every move. Men, they see a naked women and they turn into fools. She moved toward the open door, relieved she didn’t have much farther to go.
“What is wrong with you two? Will you turn around?” she gritted out.
They both tracked her moves, never saying a word, just looking like two stunned men. Growling at them, Emily didn’t notice how close she actually was to the bathroom until it was too late. Her foot caught on a small step and she shrieked, throwing her arms out to catch herself as she fell on her ass. Physically she wasn’t hurt. Mentally she was going to be scarred.
“Are you okay?” Cole asked, coming toward her, and Emily held up her hand, stopping him.
“Fine. Thanks. Can I go take a bath in peace now?” She was embarrassed. She had no idea that Cole would bring her bags into the room so fast. She’d just assumed that she had some time to relax and take that bath he suggested.
For a minute there she’d had the upper hand. Now, she was on her ass in between the bedroom and bathroom, feeling vulnerable. Cole and Charlie were both checking her out as if she were a raw steak. She could see their wolves close to the surface, their eyes slightly changing color, nostrils flared. It looked as if they wanted to charge into the room, but they held back. She received a slight nod from Cole before he backed out of the room and slowly closed the door.
Exhaling loudly, Emily stood up and hoped she’d be able to relax. Things were moving way too fast. She had just met her mates and now, she was moving in. Things didn’t work this way in the
