After he was finished, Alec sat down beside me, breathing heavy.” What now?” I asked.
“Now, we need to go to Florida and finish uncovering what your mother left you.” Alec
said.
“That will have to be next week. This week is full.” Emmy said.
“That’s fine. One more week isn’t going to change anything.” I sighed.
“Take a ride with me?” Alec looked down at me.
“A ride? As a bike ride?” I was confused.
“Yes, a bike ride. I need to check the conference center is ready to go. Emmy had some
events there and although the contractors said it was done, I haven’t looked at it.”
“Do we have time for you?” I looked at Emmy.
“You do. I already penciled that in. You just need to be back at 4:30 at your shop.” Emmy

“What a bo…”
“No. I have it all handled. Even if you stayed here, there isn’t anything for you to do. The
demo team is already working at the houses and I have most of the house designs people
asked for so I just need to send a few emails and draw up a design. I have organized a
little ribbon cutting at 4:30 but that will only take a little amount of time and we can be
back at the BBQ at 6pm.”

stand up before she got her momentum going.
“Better make it sooner than later, I want our kids to be the same age. and right now you
are going slow.”
“I’ll work on that.” I said as Emmy and Jasper walked away. “I should change first.” I said
to Alec as he followed them.
“Nope, just sit on your dress. You will be fine.” Alec pulled me against him and k*ssed me.
“I love you.” He whispered against my l*ps.
“I love you, too.” I said back without hesitation.
We walked back to our bikes. Alec must have told someone to bring them out because
they were ready and waiting for us. Alec handed me my helmet and gloves before he put
his on. When I saw he was ready, I got my bike started.
It felt amazing to feel the power between my legs again. It was like I lost a part of myself
and finally got it back. True excitement filled my heart as we raced down the driveway and
into the open rode. Alec stayed right in front of me but kept looking at me in his mirror.
Just like he did before we were mates. The butterflies came back as I even
allowed my dress to fly up when there wasn’t any cars coming.
The tension in Alec was leaving and being replaced by something. primal. I knew I was

What?” My heart sank a little.
“I had Andrew come out here and inspect it already.”
“Then why are we here?” I was a little hurt by this.
“Our getaway house is done.” Alec held out his hand for me. I had completely forgot about
the treehouse. Walking in front of Alec, the path was even more narrow with the
overgrown trees. I half expected it to be cut down but the builders did an amazing job at
not damaging
the forest.
Walking up to it, my breath was taken away. It looked perfect. Dark stained wood covered
the whole thing. Solar lights lined the walkway, balcony and even the forest. Since it was
still daylight, they weren’t on but that was okay. I wanted to see what it looked like now.
