Chapter 21

**Finn**

He made her squirt. I can't believe nobody did it before and it had to be him first. He didn't tell us, we heard everything, they didn't close the door before they jumped in. If Theo hadn't stopped me, I would have joined them. I need an evening alone with her, Theo was able to enjoy her before we knew she was our mate, just now Caleb was able to have her all to himself so I consider that I also have the right to time with her.

They had to put that back in the shower because they take forever to get off.

"The good thing is that if everything goes well between them we can consider marking her all three quickly." Theo says to me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah... um... do you think I could spend the evening with Elena... I mean just the two of us?"

"Tonight?" He asks me as he straightens up from the couch.

"No not necessarily tonight but some night this week." He nods. "And my parents want to see her...I didn't tell them that..."

"What? That we were her mates too?"

"Yeah but I'll tell them it's just that...well when I told them they were so happy I didn't go into detail."

"Yeah I understand. My mom wants to see her too, she was overexcited when I told her. And when I said you two were her mates too, she told me that if it was the goddess's wish, we should respect it." He sighs. "You know ever since Elena came back and her suspicions about Caleb's dad, there's been stuff going around in my head about my dad and yours."

"Same with me. I keep thinking that maybe what happened to your dad wasn't an accident and it wasn't an accident to mine either. This infection thing always seemed..."

"Strange...yeah." He finishes.

We are interrupted when Caleb's footsteps echo down the stairs. He walks into the living room with a smile on his face, clearly in a better mood than yesterday. He sits on the couch next to Theo and I shake my head. Finally we are all the same, we are dying to have her attention and her touch.

A few minutes later, Elena comes down in her turn in jeans and tight white t-shirt, ipad under her arm.

"Don't tell me you're going to work." Theo tells her as she sits down in another armchair.

"No I just want to check my schedule. I have quite a few video meetings this week." She replies as she focuses on her pad. "And I need to make an appointment with Jacob too." She whispers.

"Who's Jacob?" Caleb asks her with his eyebrows furrowed.

"What?" She asks surprised. "Oh he's the one who's going to take care of legal while Matt gets his distance."

She continues to tap on her tablet for a moment before setting it back down on the coffee table. The three of us follow her every move fascinated.

"Theeeoooo?" She says to him with a mischievous look.

"Yeees?" He answers her in the same tone.

She gets up and sits on his lap. "When I came to your house, I seem to have seen a hot tub and..." She slides her index finger down his shirt.

"And... what?" He replies, playing along with her game.

"And I was thinking we could spend the evening at your place...out of sight...in your hot tub."

"I'm in." I say as I raise my hand and she looks at me with a big smile. She then turns her attention to Cal who nods with a smirk.

"Well here we go." Theo adds.

Honestly when he was working on this house I was wondering what he was going to do isolated in the woods but now I'm thankful he went through with it. This house is big enough for the four of us to live in and we could even expand it to start a family. Wait, did I really just think that? I've never been the romantic type, far from it, I've never even considered having a family but since I know Elena is my true mate it's opened up the possibilities. Theo and Caleb have always been like brothers to me so this situation just formalizes what I felt and I know it's the same for them.

I drop Caleb off at his house to pick up some stuff and head to my place. Once we are ready, we arrive at Theo's house where he is already with our dear mate.

We walk through the front door and Elena's laughter echoes through the house, as we approach the kitchen we see them both dancing to Ed Sheeran's music and I understand why she is laughing so hard. Theo is unable to dance, he is much too tall compared to her and he is as stiff as a tree. But that doesn't stop me from finding the scene unfolding before me adorable.

"Hey Theo I could teach you to dance if you want." Cal suggests to him with a laugh.

"Yeah yeah make fun of me." He replies nonchalantly.

He spins Elena around and finds herself facing the counter and he stands behind her, his hands resting on either side of her.

"I'm starving." She announces and her stomach rumbles at the same time.

"We can barbecue, I have everything we need."

"Perfect!" She turns around and kisses Theo.

**Elena**

The barbecue engulfed, I almost regret having eaten so much now that I have to undress to go in the hot tub. The sun begins its descent and an orangeish light appears on the horizon behind the trees, from the floor the view is breathtaking.

A pair of arms wrap around my waist and a kiss is placed on my head. I don't have to turn around to know it's Finn. If his smell didn't give him away I would have guessed by his size, he is the smallest of the three.

He rests his chin on my head. "The view is beautiful. I could get used to admiring this landscape every night."

"Me too." I confess to him. I lean into his arms and we stay like this for a moment in silence.

"I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to spend one night of the week alone with me."

"Hmm yes I'd love to."

"And um... my parents want to meet you."

"No problem. We can invite them to my house for lunch next Sunday if you want."

He breathes a sigh of relief. "You're the best."

"It's okay they're your parents. I'd do the same for Theo's mom but not for Caleb's dad."

He snorts. "I don't think he'd blame you." He kisses my head again. "Come on they're waiting for us."

"I'll put on a bathing suit and be right there." I tell him as I walk towards the bathroom.

"Oh don't bother with that. I'm not sure you'll keep it on very long." He gives me one of his legendary smirks.
