Rachel POV

I walk with the boys to the SUV and in no time, we are driving to the first house. I'm sitting between Dean and Theo who are each holding my hand and looking out the window. We pull up to a winding side road and I see a gorgeous house that was bigger than a mansion. My jaw drops. They can't be serious. There is a little white car parked in the gigantic circle drive.

Forest lines either side of the house. We pull up behind the white car and the boys get out. I follow still not believing this is even real. We start on the front steps and I see a petite blond woman in a black suit set walk out the front door. She has the whitest smile I have ever seen. She extends a hand and walks toward Dean.

"Hi, I'm Shelly your realtor! It's so nice to meet you Mr. Johnson." I look up at Dean surprised at that. I didn't know his last name was Johnson. He looks down at me and smirks. He grabs my hand and pulls me close. I take comfort in his warm body pressed against me.

"Nice to meet you. This is my fiancé Rachel. We are buying our first home together. The house needs to meet her requirements as well. These are my brothers Theo and Caspian. They will be living here too." He explains to her. Her gaze shifts to me and I see her smile faulter when she hears him say fiancé. She extends a hand to me and I shake it politely.

She turns to Cas and Theo to do the same and her hand lingers a little to long on Theo's for my liking. I raise an eyebrow at it and he immediately pulls back his hand and places them in his pockets. I feel him send me love through the link and I do the same back to reassure him.

Fiance? Interesting I don't remember a proposal? I tease Dean.

Don't worry beautiful. You'll get one soon. He winks at me.

Dean! You can't propose yet. Normal people don't do that in the first week of meeting each other. I say exasperated at him.

Relax, little one. We can do it whenever you want. I still need to take you ring shopping anyway. He teases. I give me a look and roll my eyes. He is impossible.

"Why don't we head inside, and we can chat about what you need in a house and then we can find the perfect match for you." Shelly instructs us cheerfully while opening the door. Dean leads me inside and we quickly all sit on the sofa's in the sitting room.

Dean leans back into the sofa while unbuttoning his suit jacket and crossing a leg over his knee. God that black suit looks good on him I think as I take in his muscles pull his shirt tight over his massive chest. His brown hair is slightly spiked in the front and 5 o' clock shadow dust his cheeks and jaw. He is devastatingly handsome like this and I'm caught staring at him.

Sweetheart I can feel your desire. Are you ok? He sends me a smile tugging his lips. He brushes a hand down my back and pulls me close to him. My side is pressed against his chest and his arm around my back hold me tightly. He brushes his hand up and down my arm.

Yes, I was just looking at my handsome mate. I really like this look. I send back as I place my hand on his thigh looking up at him through my lashes.

"Well Rachel what would you like in a house?" Shelly says as she sits across from us on the other sofa with a notebook and pen, breaking me out of my little bubble with Dean.

"Well I prefer to have a functional fireplace in the large living room. A large kitchen with a double oven, an island, and wide sink. I need a large walk in closet in the master bedroom as well as large tub in the master bath. Ideally, I would like several rooms for kids close to the master as well. Guest bedrooms with their own bathrooms would also be preferable." I say evenly as I turn towards her.
