By the time we made it back to the Alpha house, Ruby was exhausted.
Happy.
But exhausted.
Midnight slowed beside us near the edge of the trees.
Ruby bumped her shoulder against his.
He bumped her back.
Harder.
She stumbled two steps.
Rude.
I laughed.
You tackled him first.
Different.
Of course it was.
We shifted behind the house.
And immediately I realized we'd forgotten one small detail.
Clothes.
“Shit.”
Cole laughed somewhere behind me.
“What?”
“I left your shirt inside.”
“So?”
I looked over my shoulder.
Mistake.
Very big mistake.
Cole had shifted back too.
And unlike earlier, when he'd stared at the wall like seeing me naked might kill him, he apparently had no problem standing completely naked under the moonlight.
I'd seen him naked before.
Technically.
