“Can we get there on his bike?” I asked, noting it was at the end of a creek away from any road.
“Follow Wolf Creek Road to the King family lodge and keep going. When the dirt road ends, you can hike the last mile. Rowen will know where it is.”
“It won’t be much of a surprise then,” I pointed out.
“Trust me, if you tell my son you planned a day with him, he won’t care where you take him. The surprise is that you care enough to think of making plans at all.”
“Yeah, I can romance the fuck out of him,” I said, mostly to myself. Fin barked out a laugh and I heard the women join in. “Sorry.”
“I’m a biker, I’ve heard a lot worse. And I’m glad you’re here to sweep my kid off his feet. He deserves it,” Fin added, lifting his cup in farewell before leaving the shop.
Pam stood from the corner table with her empty cup, coming up to set it down and pat me hand. “I’m glad you didn’t settle,” she told me with another of her winks.
Grinning back at her, I sent off a text to my boss letting him know I was taking Saturday off. I had a hot man to celebrate.
Chapter twenty-four
Rowen
Wakinguponmybirthday with Cam wrapped in my many arms, I was half in disbelief that I got to have anyone that way. They were the best gift, and all I needed to ring in another year.
Unless we were working, Cam hadn’t left my side all week, and I was secretly glad they took the day off. I didn’t see a reason to tell them it was my birthday, because I already had everything I wanted.
Cam stirred in my arms, squeezing me closer. I could hear their increasing heartbeat over the sound of the water lapping against the side of my houseboat as if I was tuned into them to the exclusion of everything else.
When Cam kissed the inside of my neck and worked their way down my half-shifted body to find my breeding arm, I used one of my tentacles to wrap around their dick and another to tease Cam’s hole.
My birthday was getting even better as I explored their body, touch and tasting them everywhere.
Groaning when Cam took me into their mouth, I pushed the tip into their ass and felt them moan around me. We didn’t need words to get each other off, already knew what we liked. Within minutes, I was coming down Cam’s throat as his ass pulsed around me and he came with hot spurts into the tight grip of my tentacle.
Best birthday ever.
When we were done catching our breath, Cam disappeared for a minute to clean up, and I heard the bath water turning on. Wanting to know what they were up to, I made my way into the bathroom to find Cam pouring soap into the tub.
“What’s this?” I asked, cocking my head when I smelled bath salts I didn’t own.
“Well, a little birdy told me it was your birthday. So, I thought a bath would be nice this morning before my next surprise,” Cam added in a rush, like they thought I wouldn’t be happy with their plans.
“You know it’s my birthday?” I asked and Cam nodded, biting their lip. “And you planned a whole day for me?”
“Yes, I hope that’s okay?”
They looked nervous, and I didn’t want that. Using my tentacles, I pulled Cam close and wrapped them in my human arms, kissing the top of their head. “It’s wonderful. You’re wonderful, Cam.”
“Yeah?” Cam pulled back to look at me, and I couldn’t help kissing their nose.
“Yes. Now let’s get in and enjoy your thoughtful gift.”
The bath involved a lot of teasing and touching, but neither of us were in a hurry to get off so soon after our morning quickie. I dried Cam off before we got dressed with me back in my fully human form.
“What’s the dress code for this surprise?”
Cam looked me up and down in my dark jeans, boots, and leather jacket over a green long-sleeved shirt. “That works, you look hot. It’s not as cold today, though I suppose you don’t mind.”
“Nope.” Chuckling I pulled Cam in by their jacket to kiss their lips and they melted against me. “Ready?”
“We need to stop by my place for the picnic basket,” Cam explained. “And we’ll need your bike.”
