The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 40

I invite Gavin in for a movie since it’s still early enough, and he happily accepts the offer. I bring up the streaming channel for him and have him find something while I go and make us some popcorn. Just as I walk into the kitchen I shriek and spin around.

“Get a *room you two!” I’m not really *, but I try to sound like I am as I hold my laughter back, “Others live here, you know!”

“You were out on a date,” Cici giggles, “What are you doing back so soon?”

peek over my shoulder and they both have their clothes back on for the most part, “What do you mean? I’ve been gone for three hours, and now we are going to chill and watch a movie, is that okay?”

The door to the kitchen swings open and Gavin rushes through, looking around the room for something, “I heard you scream, Quinn! What happened?”

I chuckle and point toward my Beta and his mate who are now presentable and no longer half naked, making out in the middle of the kitchen. He takes one look at Cici’s messy hair and rosy cheeks, and smirks.

“Go get ’em tiger!” He winks at both of them and earns himself a slap to his chest from me.

“Stop encouraging them! They have a room for that kind of stuff.” I chuckle and move to go and get the popcorn started but he grabs me around the waist and pulls me against his chest.

“How fun is it if there is no risk of getting caught?” He leans in and nips at my neck.

I gasp, “Gavin! There are others in the room!” Cici chuckles and then rolls her eyes, “Come on babe,” she addresses her mate, “Let’s go break in the Alpha’s big bed.” My best friend is evil!

Spencer chokes out a laugh but allows her to pull him behind her, while Gavin is doing all that he can to cover his own laughter.

“I better not find any bodily fluids on my bed, but my own, Cici Stone!” I call after her, but then realize what I just admitted to and end up turning bright red.
