Hunted *Book One Of The Hunted Series*

Chapter 21: Relax

So much for relaxation

I watch as Chey takes a deep breath in and shuffles deeper into the floating lounger, moving her feet back and forth in the crystal clear lake.

Her sun kissed skin glistening, her sweet scent invading my senses.

"You know, it's not polite to stare." April says from her spot on the beach towel next to me.

I grin and glance down at her, her chocolate skin glowing in the warm sun.

"I know but she's so pretty."

April chuckles and cracks a eye open to look at me.

I smile and she rolls the one eye and closes it again, getting cozy on the towel.

"Baby, come join me in the water." Chey yells, drawing my attention from my napping mother figure to my gorgeous mate.

She smiles and motions with one finger to join her.

Standing and dusting off my ass, I slowly walk towards her, breaking the edge of the lake.

She holds her arms open to me and I slowly glide through the water and wrap my arms around her waist, her fingers tracing up my arms to around my neck.

"You're so beautiful."

She blushes and hides her face in my neck, placing a gentle kiss on my neck.

My arms tighten around her waist and I place a gentle kiss on top of her head.

"Thank you Alex. I'm really glad I found you." Chey whispers into my neck, causing a smile to spread across me face, before pulling back and placing a soft kiss on my lips.

Suddenly paws are heard hitting the ground and a giant wave of water covers Chey and I, ruining our moment.

I push my hair out my face and glare at the giant pitch black playful lycan.

Malia wags her giant tail, splashing water everywhere.

"Malia im going to kill you!" Chey screams at her before letting her vamp take over and tackles a playful Malia.

I watch as Malia wraps her giant arms around her, pinning her to her chest, Chey struggling the entire time.

Malia licks her face lovingly, Chey laughs and stops struggling, laying her head against Malia's wet chest, snuggling into her warm fur.

"Yes Malia, you can borrow my girl."

Malia lets out a deep chuckle and opens one of her arms, beckoning me towards her.

I narrow my eyes, trying not to give in but Chey beckons me as well and next thing I know i'm cuddling my 2 favorite people.

"Are you always this warm Malia? I mean you're in cold water and your body temperature isn't even changing." Chey whispers, snuggling deeper into her fur.

I feel the darkness covering Malia, she's preparing to talk.

"Yes. My temperature never changes. It's a wolf thing." Malia grunts out in her dark voice.

I turn so im staring up at the clear blue sky. Chey starts purring, I look over at her with hooded eyes and watch as Malia's long nails run up and down her exposed back.

A loud laugh draws my attention from Chey having her back scratched to the shore.

Abbey has covered April in snow white fur. Max, Candace and Shonda holding their stomachs doubled over with laughter.

Terrance is swinging in one of the thousand hammocks, a straw hat covering his napping face.

Kayla is staring at her mate, her eyes move to me and a small, sexy smile covers her face.
