Chapter 281

Chapter 0281 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.” I laughed with her as she tried three times to 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 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 planted for shade. The building was circular with a dome top. Everything looked classy and sturdy. 2/3 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.noveldrama
