Logan leaned against the vanity. Amanda wandered in behind them and came to Logan when he held out a hand to her. He tucked her in front of him.
She was naked. Gloriously so.
Sawyer’s cock jumped to attention. “Hon…” He groaned. “How am I supposed to shower with you standing there like that?”
“Quickly?” She smiled and tipped her head to one side.
“What happened?” Logan asked as Sawyer turned on the water and then shut the glass door while it heated.
“Several things.” Sawyer sighed. “First of all, it’s rare that I get called somewhere so close to home. What are the chances? Secondly, my team doesn’t get called in unless there’s imminent danger of serious spreading. If the regular guys can handle it, they don’t add the hotshots.”
He stepped into the shower, angled the nozzle toward the far wall, and left the door open. As he reached for the soap, he glanced at his mates. “But most importantly, I saw a spirit there.”
Amanda gasped. “Oh God.”
“Yeah. And trust me, it didn’t lead me out of the mountain this time. Or hell, if it tried, I was too busy to pay attention. I almost shit in my pants as it was. I can’t handle distractions. I could barely spare it a glance every now and then, and that son of a bitch hovered for a while. It’s also amazing I even saw it.”
“Why?” Amanda asked. “If it wants you to see it, then you will, right?”
Sawyer set the soap down and grabbed the shampoo. “Yes, but it’s a black smoky figure. And I was surrounded by black smoke. My head equipment is also an impediment. It had to float right in front of me to get my attention, and then it hovered next to me like an annoying little sister. I swear I did a triple take to make sure.”
“What does it mean?” She twisted her head toward Logan. “Doesn’t this frustrate the shit out of you?”
“Yes. But it’s always the same. This is the fourth time this has happened to my family, and to Sawyer’s. By now, we should be taking this in stride. When the other threesomes got together, they had no clue what the spirits were warning about either, but they had no choice but to pay attention until it was clear. And that will happen in this instance too.”
Sawyer turned off the water and stepped from the shower. He knew something else for certain. “My brother Cooper is beyond destined to mate with Sharon. He should go ahead and get his ass here now. He doesn’t stand a chance.”
Logan chuckled. “True. But I bet they aren’t meant to meet yet. Fate has a way of arranging these things.”
Sawyer wasn’t so sure. “How much pull do you think Fate really has concerning the timing? I mean, we have free will. We must at least control the when and the how, right?”
“Did you?”
“Of course. I moved here when I was good and ready.”
“No you didn’t.” Logan shook his head. “You moved here because you couldn’t get a job in Spokane. And it isn’t a coincidence that a job happened to form right here in the very county where you were meant to meet us?”
He was right. Sawyer glanced at Amanda. “What about you?”
She shrugged. “Felt like free will to me. Although, Mary did ask me to come almost a year ago and then nagged me repeatedly since then. But I wasn’t finished with school, and I wasn’t sure this was the best choice.”
“What changed your mind?” Sawyer asked, wrapping a towel around his waist.
“I don’t know. I finished my classes, my parents were driving me bonkers, and something Mary said put a fire under me.” She smirked at her choice of idioms. “Well, maybe fire isn’t a word you want to hear right now, but you know what I mean.”
“What did she say?” Logan asked.
Amanda tapped her fingers on her chin for a second, thinking. “Ah right. It wasn’t what she said. It was what she didn’t say. I asked her if there were any cute guys in town. She said she wouldn’t know because she was always working. I asked if she was dating, and she hesitated a bit too long.
“Little did I know she meant Jazmine, but I still took that to mean it was high time I got out of Oklahoma, so I left the next morning.”
“And here you are.” Logan spun her around to face him and took her mouth in a heated kiss.
“Thank God,” Sawyer added, stepping behind her to sandwich her with Logan. He tugged the towel free of his hips and let it fall to the floor. Seconds later his cock pressed into her lower back. He needed her to be higher.
While Logan kissed her, he shrugged out of his shorts. And then he grabbed her by the ass and lifted her off the floor.
