“Come on, you are not walking either.” he wraps me in that headlock hug and starts to drag me towards the massive truck in the packhouse driveway.
“It’s about time, I was worried you were making up all that extra training crap last night.” Sam laughs before removing his arm from around Sierra's shoulder and jumping in the truck’s backseat. My brother climbs in and slides to the middle of the back and Oliver sits on his other side. I move to stand beside Sierra, the twins are in the front looking over at us.
“She’s already been on a run and made breakfast.” Mateo laughs out to the group, elbowing Oliver. Oliver groans and rolls his eyes.
Sierra and I just look at each other. “Do you expect us to sit in the truck bed?” She laughs at them as they look around and realize we are not a normal part of their entourage. They really don’t spend much time outside their bro bubble. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“We can just do laps, it’s not that far. Sierra, you can join me.” Sam pats his thigh and wiggles his eyebrows at her. “Little bit you can ride on Oliver.” I did not miss the s*xual innuendo that time and my cheeks flamed.
“Tiny can ride up here in the front, she’ll fit in between us.” Cameron says a little clipped from the driver's seat.
Dakota nods, but instead of getting out like I thought he would, he just says, “Climb on up.” With an evil smirk on his face. He must know how weird this is for me, and I’m sure my face is going an even brighter shade of red.
I take a deep breath and slowly climb up the truck sideboard, but I must be going too slow for Dakota, because he grabs my waist and plants me on his lap before closing the door. I started to slide off his lap and In between the twins as Cameron pulled out of the driveway. Dakota’s arm
stays behind my back as I move and slowly drags his fingers across the back of my t-shirt. I gasp a bit as he nudges on of the fresh wounds from Kaley’s latest punishment, and I also realize my shirt is still a bit damp from my early morning run.
“How are you already sweaty, Smalls. We haven’t done anything yet.” Dakota looks over at me again with that crooked grin.
“I told you, Miss Shorty overachiever here has already gotten a run in this morning along with cooking up a feast. That’s why we were right on time, I was not letting any of that go to waste.” My brother spouts behind me. I can hear the smile in his voice though, so I think he’s teasing me.
“Wait, you made food and didn’t bring us any?” Sam asked. I couldn’t help but laugh at his expression when I looked over my shoulder. “I would have complained less if I knew there was food involved.” Everyone laughed.
“There wasn’t any extra to bring. I’ll remember you are all easily bribed with food next time.” I laughed as we pulled up barely five minutes later.
We all piled out of the truck like it was our own personal clown car. Much to the surprise of Delta Kyle who was checking the pups in. He definitely did not expect to see us this morning. Did Sam not tell him they were joining me?
“Hey Delta, I brought some help, hope you don’t mind.” I skipped up to him. Training with the pups was one of my favorite things to do.
“How in the hell did you manage that?” He points behind me, eyeballs wide, chin basically on the ground. “I couldn’t even get my son to come to training with me by force and he shows up with you looking kind of awake and happy about it. You need to teach me your secrets.”
I just laugh at him. “No secret, Oliver asked how often I trained and I told them, now they are here.” I shrug my shoulders. It didn’t seem that big a deal to me, but clearly it was based on his reaction.
