“You know you don’t have to help,” Barrett repeats for the twentieth time while giving me that look—the one that says he is equal parts horrified and impressed that I’m burying my friend’s kills.

“Wouldn’t be the first time.” I lean on my shovel, one of the ones Pepper gave us. “Especially in winter.”

“Is there a reason we are digging a hole to the Underworld?” Seth kicks the dirt again, annoyed that I’m making him dig a separate hole ten feet away from the one Barrett and I have been working on.

“Also, why did you make me hunt down deer carcasses?” Cael tosses a body between the holes before setting his hands on his hips. “It’s a waste of good meat.”

“You and I” —I wave my hand between Cael and me— “are going to have a conversation about your eating habits.”

“Kitty Kat, I’m a growing boy. I need all the protein.” Cael smirks. It’s a smile I’m beginning to fall head over heels for. The edges of his lips tip up just so, and his cheeks dimple slightly, visible beneath the beard he’s growing.

“You aren’t growing.” Seth tosses his shovel down. “Your turn.”

“I am growing,” Cael argues though he bends over and picks up the shovel. “Well, parts of me are.”

“Ignore them.” Barrett climbs out of the hole, and damn.

Damn.

I know my hormones are just reacting to the fact that my mates are nearby and available for the taking, but watching Barrett climb out of the hole we dug together does something to me. He took off his bomber and is wearing a fitted black shirt that shows all of his muscles—muscles that bunch and pull in all the right ways. I remember him hovering over me, flexing under me, and just the thought sends my body back into a tailspin.

He reminds me of a bodybuilder, with thick muscles that can hold a woman like me up for hours.

“You’re drooling.” Barrett steps in front of me, yanking me out of my daydream. Brushing a thumb across his thick lips, I press my thighs together. He’s sex and sin, and I want him now.

“Am not.” I wipe the corner of my mouth anyway, just in case. One can’t be too sure.

Barrett leans down into my space with a smirk. “Kendall, keep looking at me like that, and I’ll bend you over right here in the snow.” He moves to pull away then pauses. “I know you don’t mind getting a little dirty.”

“Dammit!” Seth shouts at us. “This is turning you on?”

Coughing into my hand, I walk over to one of the two dead bodies. “Yeah, a little.”

“Aww, Kitty Kat.” Cael nods to himself as though he just realized something none of us are privy to. We don’t have to wait long before he shares though. I’m learning Cael can and can’t keep a secret, it just depends on what it is. “Mates that kill together stay together.”

“We didn’t kill these two. Pepper did.”

“Eh.” Cael shrugs. “Why are we burying them though?”

I only answer because he looks genuinely confused.
