Chapter 86
**Luna**
Monday morning. Start of the tour.
I woke this morning wrapped in two strong pairs of arms and I couldn't help but smile when I lifted my head and noticed all the guys in the nest. After bonding with Rowan, something changed in me and that uncomfortable heat I had been feeling the last couple of days had settled. My heat has broken just in time for us to head out to our first tour city.
The person behind me tightens his arm around my waist as I try to shift out of their hold and I feel his chest vibrate against my back. Suddenly a head pops up and a disheveled-looking Bennett is looking around like he's lost. When I glance over at the clock next to the bed I see what time it is and realize I must have been the alarm that woke him. Speaking of alarms, my new watch starts to vibrate against my wrist and I glance down to see that it's eight o'clock on the dot.
Bennett nearly falls off the bed in his sleepy state and I quickly cover my mouth to stop a laugh from escaping. I have noticed that the prim and proper Beta is not much of a morning person and I kind of like how adorable he looks because of it. When he notices me watching him, his lips break out in a sheepish smile. He walks around to the side table and switches off the alarm before leaning over and kissing me gently.
The touch would have set my body on fire if I was still in heat but right now I feel a subtle hum of happiness instead. When he breaks our kiss he moves back and locks eyes with me with his heart-melting smile and drops one more kiss on my nose. He turns on his heels and leaves me watching after him feeling all sorts of warm feelings at the sweet morning greeting.
The other guys slowly start to stir and I can't hold back my smile at the sight of my adorably rumpled Alphas. One by one they make their way to me and greet me with sweet kisses. Well except for Declan who decided to outdo the others with a kiss that made my toes curl. His heated look when he pulled back sent a chill through me, the tease.
Once the nest has been vacated I stretch my arms over my head and feel the slight soreness from all the activities from this week. My face warms as I think back on all the moments I shared with my pack. The watch on my wrist vibrates and I glance at it to see a message from my mom. She is wishing us all a safe trip and asking me to send pictures when we arrive at the first location.
I am going to miss her so much.
That isn't the only thing I'm going to miss though...
I give myself a few lingering looks at my nest and there is a small pang of sadness at the idea of leaving it today. Someone coming into the room catches my attention and I smile at Kai as he rounds the bed and makes his way to me. My playful Alpha has a mischievous look on his face and surprises me by scooping me up and throwing me over his shoulder. Uncontrollable giggles escape me as he carries me out of the nest and into the bathroom.
He sets me down carefully before leaning down and leaving another quick kiss on my lips. The guys have become very comfortable with showing me affection now that we have all bonded, and I love it. I have never felt this amount of adoration and love before, and it makes me feel so loved and cherished. Even more so when the guys do sweet things for me like running me a bath and adding yummy smelling stuff to the water.
Today however it seems my playful Alpha has other plans. While keeping his eyes focused on me he slowly starts to remove his clothes. My heart starts to race as I follow each motion automatically. Sure my heat is over but I feel suddenly warm at the sight of him completely open to my eyes and mine alone. Once he is done torturing me with his striptease he moves closer to me and starts to remove my clothes as well.
Once I am bare in front of him, he hurries his face into my neck and pulls me as close to him as possible. Feeling him against me has me breathless and I let my hands wander over all his smooth skin. I glance in the mirror behind him and follow the direction of the swirling tattoos that cover half of his back and shoulder. All my guys have several tattoos unique to their styles and I have enjoyed examining each one. Kai's are artistic swirls with tribal designs woven in. It's beautiful.
He runs his hands gently over my arms and backs us toward the shower and reaches in to turn the water on. While we wait for the water to warm he returns his attention to me leaving soft kisses along my shoulder and neck. The bathroom quickly fills with steam and Kai tugs me under the water with him. As soon as we are together under the warm stream his lips are on mine. The gentle slow teasing from before is gone and replaced with hungry kisses and exploring fingers.
Let's just say...that was the hottest shower I have ever had and it had nothing to do wiht the temperature of the water.
When Kai and I finish wiht our shower we are short on time and have to rush to get ready. The others are waiting for us downstairs and Rowan shoots Kai an annoyed look but there is a hint of a smirk on his lips too.
Milo steps up and pulls me away from Kai.
"*Who would you like to ride with today?*" He signs to me and I look over at each of my guys considering my choices carefully.
Bennett's hopefully look makes my decision easy. I am starting to think that he has a misconception that being a Beta means he will be overlooked. He couldn't be any more wrong.
"*I'll ride with Bennett.*" I sign back and Milo nods.
He turns to the others and lets them know, and I move toward my handsome Beta and take his hand. The smile on his face tells me that I have made the right choice. We all grab the last of our stuff and head out to the trailers waiting for us in front of the house. The guys parked them out front and loaded them last night so all we would have to do is dress and go.
Bennett leads me to his bus and like the gentleman he is, he opens the door for me and helps me inside. He walks around the front of the bus and starts to unbutton his suit jacket. Once he climbs inside he hangs the coat behind his chair and buckles himself in. He sets up his phone with the GPS ready to go and leads the train of trailers out of the driveway.
This is it!
The drive is short since one of the first cities the guys will be playing in is close by. We are out of the main city though, and the lot where the stage is set up looks like a park of some kind. I can see the top of the stage as we move closer and as soon as it comes into view I am hit with a jolt of excitement. The setup looks even better than the first time we saw it and there are a few food trucks already set up. The show isn't until tomorrow night so I plan on sampling all of the food before the crowds arrive.
The guys drive through a small opening of trees just past the stage into a small empty field. Bennett pulls the bus to a stop and I glance into the side mirror to see the others guys pulling in behind us. When I step out they are all parked in a circle and the opening we came through is blocked off by a large screen anchored by cement bottom poles.
Milo heads my way and pulls me against his chest before leaning in and leaving a kiss to his mark. All the guys seem to greet me in this way now and I think they do it because it makes me weak in the knees for them...literally.
"*What do you think of our camp?*" He signs when he steps back from me.
I watch the guys opening the sliding doors of their trailers and pulling out random items. Kai even pulls out a string of lights to set up along his doors. They are turning the circle of trailers into a camp circle and I love the idea.
"*I love it.*" I sign back.
A park of arms wrap around my waist from behind and I lean back into the hold. Bennett's scent wraps around me instantly and he follows Milo's lead and leaves a kiss on my shoulder where his marks are slowly fading. I decide that I will have to stay with him tonight so he can refresh them and by the way he keeps tightening his hold on me, he has the same idea.
