Percy.
My hot, smart mate, Tag cooed as he darted back to smack Percy s ass. Okay, well, we ll
stop harassing you then. Sorry, Gideon.
No, it s fine. We all need to be able to talk like this when things come up. I m just raw and I
hate not having the answers.
And after what you ve been through it s hard when people corner you and you re trying to put
yourself first, Percy added with a knowing wince. I nodded, not wanting to rub it in. They gave me
another wave and left.
I worked the next couple of hours, filling the attached cart all the way but making sure it wasn t
too much so I wouldn t lose anything when I went over the trail. There was no point in wasting fruit.
It was weird though because I felt another presence most of the time, just on the outskirts of where my
power could reach. Too far for me to read it and know who it was& But it was comforting so I
wasn t scared.
Strange, right?
When I got back, I unloaded everything, some to the kitchen and the rest to the space Taggart
and those working with him had designated for that project. I guess once he got it all up and running,
he was going to focus more on the swords, but for now, the goal was to get this going. And the
problem right at the moment was that there was only one kitchen and everything needed to be cooked
to be made.
But the furnace downstairs wasn t for cooking lotions, shampoos, and whatever else Taggart
knew how to make. So now there was an argument on what to do about that.
Guys! I shouted as I thumped down the basket on the workbench in massive shed they had
cleared out. The furnace that the kitchen stove runs on is old school, right?
Yeah, it s not gas, Percy answered, his eyebrows shooting up. You re a genius, Gideon.
No, just calmer than everyone here apparently, I snickered, shaking my head.
I don t get it, Blair hedged.
He s saying if we put more stoves in the mansion or work out a schedule to share the kitchen,
we d just have to drag more wood into the basement to the furnace. We should just get a few wood
burning stoves for in here and keep it simple for whoever is working on recipes right at that moment,
Percy explained.
Yeah, that works, Taggart agreed with a shrug. Problem solved I guessed. I left and put the
four-wheeler away. It wasn t that everyone was so quick to argue or fight& More everyone was on
edge. This island and life was very different than what they were all used to and there was no set
pecking order.
Which was good, just hard to adjust to. There was a lot at stake, and instead of relaxing and
understanding that we d make it if we stuck together, people were kind of freaking out. That needed to
stop. No one could make them though.
And then I smiled. No, but maybe I could help them relax better. It was an idea at least. One I
really liked and I started to build on. First, I found Baptista and asked him a few things, taking notes
as I got answers. Then it was Quilan, Meriel, and Kelvin. Next, I was on to Wesley, Tristan, and
Carson.
They pointed me towards Asher and the cook from Dewey s pack, Nancy. Lastly it was the rest
of the Medical Lake inner circle who I found out had brought over livestock and horses with us on the
boat. Go figure.
By the time I headed up to my room to change for mojitos on the beach at sunset, I was ready to
go with my basic proposal and excited. Which was why I didn t see that I had another gift in front of
my door at first. This time it was a gorgeous conch shell, huge and just a rainbow of colors like I d
never seen before. I was awestruck by it and wanted to stare at my new favorite possession for a
while longer but I had to go.
I set it in the room, smiling at how sweet Ciro was and quickly changed. Then I raced outside to
meet up with everyone, finding my man right away. Leaning down, I gave him a heated kissed.
What was that for? he panted when I pulled away.
You know what you did. I gave him a wink and sauntered away. I waited until everyone got
their drinks and then got their attention. Okay, I have an idea, so I ask you hear me out and I just
came up with and it needs work, so yeah, I m totally open to changes and I probably don t have all the
pieces I need but
Dude, just spit it out because we don t have any ideas and we re kind of tired of coming up
with anything else, Wesley chuckled. Then he groaned and realized how bad that sounded. I didn t
mean no one else has been contributing. I just meant fuck it. I quit.
No, you guys took charge, and at the time, we needed someone to but now we need to come up
with a long term plan that works for everyone, Ollie said diplomatically. Whatcha got, hottie of my
bro? I took a deep breath and braced for impact depending on how this was going to go down.
Okay, first off, we re all friends and don t have the normal pack structure here. However, this
is Baptista s island. So he s the boss, whether he says he is or not. I shot him a look that said it
wasn t up for debate. He sighed and slumped against his mate. And by extension his mates too. So I
think we can all agree that certain things don t happen unless they get cleared with Bap.
Like inviting people to the island, cutting down groves, demolishing anything, and so on. I
waited until everyone nodded. Good, so if it s a decision that can effect more than our person or our
mates, we ask him. Moving on then, security is going to be headed by Quilan, which includes the
Marines. That s their job. No more having them run around doing other stuff.
Now what are we thinking that includes, boss? Ciro asked as he gave me a wink.
O-Oh, I m n-not trying to be the boss, I stuttered, my eyes going wide. This is just my idea
on how to divvy things up. I don t want to be in charge. I just want to pick the fruit. I just know how
really large packs do it because I snapped my mouth closed so fast I bit my tongue, shooting
Lennox a look before staring at my feet. Fuck.
Nothing has changed between us, Gideon, Lennox promised quietly. Besides I have a whole
newfound respect for you for turning out as awesome as you did with that man as your only guidance
growing up and suffering through twenty-one years of his abuse.
Thank you. I rubbed my tearing eyes as I felt a huge weight lifted off my chest.
And I was just teasing, my mate-to-be, Ciro assured me. I know you re not trying to be the
boss. I was trying to show that I support this plan and your taking charge of our dividing out roles.
You re doing great.
Oh, okay. I glanced around and saw others nodding, giving me a renewed source of
confidence. What really shocked me was seeing Niall and Taye practically beaming with pride. I
wasn t sure what to make of that but it was something I would file away for later. So that would [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
