I jump out of the shower and pull my towel closer to my body before walking out of the bathroom. I know its safe to do this because hazyn will be down at dinner with the rest of the pack and I can't be bothered eating tonight.
"never thought I would say this to a girl but damn you fit," someone says out of nowhere making me jump up into the air and to face the culprit, Ashley sitting on Hazyns bed.
"I wouldn't sit there; it hasn't been changed since his hookup last night" I laugh out making her jump off his bed in a frenzy and move to mine.
"thought ben had you locked up in his room?" I question making her nod
"he did, but we found out today that I was pregnant so he's giving me more freedom" she smiles making me gush.
"congrats babes" I smile before the door flies open.
"Seriously, can no one knock" I exclaim before turning around to see ben and hazyn at the door.
"well I tracked my mates' scent here, and its Hazyns room" ben laughs making me facepalm. within seconds hazyn is in front of me holding the towel up
"damn forgot I was just in a towel, everyone out so I can get dressed" I growl out while laughing before holding my towel up myself. Ashley and Ben rush out of the room, and hazyn just sits down.
"you ever going to clean your bed?" I question making him nod
"yeah, once you are dressed," he smirks.
"When I said everyone out I meant you too, you may have seen my scars, but I am naked under this" I growl making his eyes widen
"then give us a show" he smirks making me pick up a sneaker and throw it at him before gathering some clothing and heading into the bathroom to get changed
"you're no fun" he laughs out
"don't you know it baby" I laugh back
"why did I hear you screaming?" he questions making me roll my eyes
"because Hazyn was spooning me and I went to sleep alone" I yell probably alerting the whole pack to what just happened.
"shut up, you are hurting my ears, you were having a nightmare, so I jumped into your bed to calm you down" he smirks, making me narrow my eyes.
"Actually I didn't have a nightmare, the only nightmare I was having is right now" I growl making him roll his eyes.
"Okay you got me, I was cold and couldn't be bothered adding more blankets or turning the heat up, so I jumped into bed with you" he laughs before rolling out of bed.
"why can't you just leave my bed and me alone?" I question making him mutter four words I never expected to hear
"Because I love you."
