    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 smiled.


    “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.”


    “To think I was worried about losing Penny. You are wonderful.” I leaned over and gave her a small k*ss


    on the cheek.


    “Yeah, remember that in a few months when I need off for three


    1/3


    “It’s okay. I’ll return the favor one day.” Iughed with her as she tried three times to stand up before


    she got her momentum going.


    “Better make it sooner thanter, 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. Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “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 carsing.


    The tension in Alec was leaving and being reced by something. primal. I knew I was going to be in


    for it but that just made it more fun. His eyes would narrow at me but never once did he actually say


    anything. The whole ride was amazing.


    Pulling up to the convention center, I was surprised. It looked


    amazing. The parking lot of beautiful with trees nted for shade. The building was circr with a


    dome top. Everything looked ssy and sturdy.

    What?” My heart sank a little.


    “I had Andrewe 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 hadpletely 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. Sr 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.
