{ Chapter 24 } - A Kitchen Affair

A/N:  you'll recognize a line or two from this ;)

--- Sean's Pov ---

I gasped, sitting up on the bed. I didn't mean to fall asleep, but cuddling with Owen lulled me to sleep.

"Did you sleep g-." I started to asking Owen as I turned to look at his side of the bed, only to realize it was empty.

'Did he find out what I'm keeping from him? Maybe he left, especially after we argued last night. I wouldn't be surprised if his team tried to convince him to leave me again. But he wouldn't leave without at least saying something this time, right?'

Focusing on my surroundings, I heard the sound of a chopping knife coming from the kitchen, indicating that at least someone was awake. Throwing on a pair of pants, I rushed down the stairs at human speed, not wanting to mistakenly pass him. I skipped steps on the stairs and I noticed North and Silas carrying bags upstairs, probably to Sang's room.

'Ugh... If they're here, does that mean they all are?'

Luckily, as I trekked through the house, I found it was just those two. Sang was nowhere to be found downstairs, Gabriel and Nikolai must have still been asleep, and Olivia, Elijah, and Cody were doing unsavory things on my couch.

"Why do you people come to my house to do this?" I grumbled as I peeked into the living room.

"You act like you haven't been doing the same thing," Elijah said without looking over to me. He was too focused on making Cody and Olivia moan simultaneously as he knelt on the floor in front of them.

"No, Owen and I are classier than this," I smirked.

"Bullshit," Olivia laughed shakily as she gripped Elijah by the hair, pulling his face closer between her legs.

Elijah focused solely on Olivia now and Cody patiently watched them as Olivia synchronized her finger movements through Elijah's hair with her finger movements through Cody's.

As fascinating as watch them go at it was, I'd seen it too many times for it to be that interesting.

"Gabe and Nikki were just so cute earlier, that we were a bit... inspired." Cody smiled. "It was so cute, they almost had me in tears."

"What happened?" I asked.

"Nikki apologized to him and then proposed the idea of bonding to him! It was like a scene out of the movies!" Cody exclaimed.

"So they're doing that... right now?" I asked.

"And so much more, I hope," Cody winked.

I rolled my eyes.

 'He always looks so innocent, but he has the dirtiest mind, I swear...'

'If Gabriel tells Owen, Owen's going to want to know why we haven't bonded. I can't tell him. Not yet. Not when he has the chance to leave me again.'

I continued down the corridor towards the kitchen, where I could smell a mixture of food wafting through the air. Pancakes, mixed fruit, and even plates of bacon were spread out over the table. I'd never seen someone cook like this, especially in this house. I couldn't imagine what each piece of food would taste like.

"Hm. Hmmhm," Someone was humming, and I snapped out of my daze from the food.

I looked over to the island and I froze in place.
