---Kim's POV---

I walked up the stairs, still feeling a bit flustered while I absentmindedly brushed my arms together. A soft hand was placed on my back to make sure I wouldn't fall as the rest of the pack carried my belongings towards Will's room with such enthusiasm that it baffled me. Apparently, they liked the idea that I was moving in.

Kath pushed me ahead when I hesitated in Will's doorway before she plopped me down in a seat. "Now, sit still and wait for a moment until all your stuff are brought up here. I'll help you unpack your stuff later, but right now, you can have some quality time with your mate."

Rolling my eyes, I stood up again, only to be pushed back down, this time by Will, who squeezed my shoulders gently. "I know this might annoy you but just sit this one out. Not because of your disability," He added when I frowned and opened my mouth to protest, "Just because you don't know the layouts of the house or even this room."

I bit my lip lightly while I looked away and nodded reluctantly. Will was right; I had no idea how this room looked like and I would probably hinder the movers. Brushing my hair behind my ear, I tilted my head and listened to the people moving around through the hallway and in the room. I even heard some movement in the room next to Will's.

A box was placed close to my feet as the door closed behind a laughing Kath, who was being persuaded by David to move in as well. Just as Will sat beside me, the door opened again. "Oh and Kim, I'm going to prepare you for the critics tomorrow, got to look good for them. Just relax and enjoy your evening! Ciao!"

I groaned and let my head hang over the back of the seat while I closed my eyes. "Like I can relax now Kath." I grumbled under my breath. Will chuckled beside me before his warm hand slid over my neck and he tugged me to the side, my back facing him. "Why so tense Kim? You don't have to worry that they won't like your art."

His hand moved over my neck, twisting my hair over my shoulder before it was quickly joined by his other hand as he started to rub the tense muscles, massaging all the stress and worries away until I was left to a melting mess.

"It's not that." I said, shivering as his thumbs brushed the column of my neck before rubbing over the tense muscles just below it. Will chuckles slightly when I leaned against his hand and let my head hang down so he could work freely on my shoulders and neck.

"What is it then? You're really tense Kim. You know you can tell me anything." He mumbled softly before tilting my head slightly to the side to place a kiss on my cheek. I let out the breath I was holding and nodded. "Yeah, I know. It's just...what happened earlier..."

Will's hands stopped momentarily before they picked the pace up again, working on my shoulders this time. "Don't worry about those people Kim. They aren't worth to be called a parent." He said, a soft growl rumbling through his chest while he sat a bit closer to me. I sighed with contentment as he stopped massaging and pulled me back, resting my head in his lap as he softly brushed his fingers over my face.

"I know but still...they are the people that are supposed to love me. And what of my sister? Would they tell her what happened or will she be left in the dark? And if they do, would she contact me or-"

Will's lips on mine stopped me from rambling and as soon as he felt my surrender, he smiled against my lips before he pulled back slightly. "Has anyone told you that you worry too much?" He asked rhetorically before he kissed me again, cupping my cheek softly.

The door flew open with a loud smack, causing us to jump while I literally fell of Will's lap and fell flat on my stomach. An angry growl rumbled through the room before a pair of warm hands wrapped around my waist and picked me up. "Are you okay?" the question was laced with concern as I was moved towards the bed and gingerly placed down.

Before I could nod, Will growled deeper and snarled, "What were you guys thinking anyway, charging in here? You could have hurt her!" I heard some shuffling of several feet, indicating the person's discomfort before they responded with a dejected tone, "Sorry Alpha. We just heard that the young Luna was staying here and we wanted to see if it was true. Adrian had lied before sir."

"Did not!" A boy, probably Adrian shouted out.

"Did too!" the girl retorted and I shook my head at the mental vision of two kids standing toe-to-toe, hands on their hips as they pointed fingers to each other. I could tell that Will was still slightly angry at the intrusion but he sighed loudly and stood up from the bed.

"Okay, enough you two. First of all, Clair, yes; Kim is staying permanently. And Adrian, yes; you do lie occasionally." Both of the kids protested loudly but Will shushed them and started moving towards the door. "Come on, out with you guys. Shoo, go to your mom."

"But Wiiiiiill,"Clair whined as I heard footsteps running towards the bed before little arms wrapped around me. "Shhh, I'm hiding." The boy whispered as Will grumbled a bit and Adrian hid behind my back. I chuckled lightly before I felt a poke in my ribs. "Don't laugh, he'll hear you!" the little guy scolded softly.

"Sorry." I whispered back before I sat perfectly still, much to the delight of the kid. The girl squealed at the door and I heard Will's laughter before he said, "Oh yeah? Jumping on my back huh? Wait until I get you and that little brother of yours!"

Adrian laughed softly before he laid down against my back and apparently hid himself under the duvet. Clair squealed loudly and combined with Will's laughter, I couldn't help but curse the fact that I couldn't see how Will interacted with the kids. A small smile crept on my lips; although I couldn't see it, it was clear to me that Will would be a great father one day.

Small feet ran towards the bathroom while I moved my hands behind my back, pushing the kid back under the duvet and tickled him lightly. "Hey! You're cheating!" He whined lightly before giggling again. I smiled widely as I heard the girl run back in the room. "Hide with your brother, quick!" I whispered, waving towards the sound of the kid as I held the duvet up.

A swish of wind and then both kids whispered loudly "Lower it! Quick, quick!" Just as the duvet dropped, concealing the two kids, Will opened the door of the bathroom again and stepped inside.

"Where did those two ran off too?" he mumbled loudly before walking towards the bed as I chuckled softly, ignoring the excided giggles and whispers behind me. A hand brushed over my cheek before I felt Will lower before me, kneeling between my legs.

"You wouldn't know where those two rascals are, my love?" I brushed my own hand over his face, finding that he was smiling broadly as he leaned into my touch. Shaking my head lightly, I replied "No, sorry. Haven't got a clue to where they are." Will chuckled softly, his lips stretching wider before he pecked me on my lips.

"Well, all this running around did make me tired...perhaps I'll just fall on the bed and get some sleep." He said while standing up and sitting beside me, right in front of the kids. Just as he was slowly lowering himself on the bed, they yelped loudly, laughing, "NOOO! We're in here! Don't squish us!"

Both of us laughed as the kids dove from under the duvet and bolted out of the room as Will playfully ran after them till he reached the door. Two pair of little feet thundered down the stairs while I laughed, shaking my head. "Those kids..." Will said before he closed the door, followed by a loud click as if fell in its lock.

"I'm just locking it so they don't come back with back up; we really need to get your stuff out of the boxes before we need to sleep. Kath was right, it's a big day for you tomorrow." I smiled slightly and nodded, moving my hair out of my face as I straightened back up and moved to the first box.

---Will's POV---

Moving in was fairly easy after Clair and Adrian were locked out. They did come back with some friends, pounding on the door before their moms herded them back downstairs. Kim was still getting used to my room, which was really strange to see.

I've seen Kim walking through her own room, easily maneuvering around the furniture and her canvasses but here, in my room, the confident striding had been replaced by a hesitant step forwards.

When Kim tripped over a pair of jeans that was laying around, my wolf was furious with me, growling constantly while he kept scolding me for being too lazy to put my clothes away.

Kath walked out of the closet, folding the box of Victoria secret up while she shot me a wink before she yawned slightly. "Well, that's all for now. I'll leave you two alone for the night. Kim, the appointment is at 10.30 am." When Kim nodded, placing the last of her paints in a wooden crate, Kath waved over her shoulder as she unlocked the door. "Night you two."

"Good night!" Kim shouted after her before she sat down in the loveseat. I smiled when she yawned, quickly placing her hand over her gaping mouth. My eyes grazed over her face before landing on the darkening rims under her eyes. "You look tired." I said softly whilst walking towards her.

"I don't want to go to sleep yet." She murmured but I could detect something else in her casually spoken words; fear. Tilting my head to the side, I contemplated how to bring this up while my wolf kept urging me to just ask it so that we would know what troubled our mate.

Anger slammed through me before I heard myself ask, "Why are you afraid Kim? You don't need to fear my family, or me. We would never let them hurt you." My wolf spoke through me. I scowled slightly, angry that my wolf couldn't hold on for a few seconds but the damage was already done.

"Damage? There's no damage done, I just made our mate curious to us. You've told her next to nothing about us!" my wolf growled when he heard my thoughts. I couldn't answer him because Kim frowned slightly and tilted her head towards me. "We? You speak of yourself as 'We'?"

"Thanks a lot!" I growled mentally at my wolf, who snickered slightly while he laid down, pleased with himself. Sighing, I pulled Kim out of the seat and guided her towards the bed, where we laid down side by side.

"Yes, we. As in my wolf and me. My wolf has a mind of its own and we can communicate with each other mentally but that doesn't mean that we see everything eye-to-eye. Most of the times he annoys the hell out of me." I laughed as my wolf growled lowly in his throat, although he couldn't stop wagging at the fascination that was clearly visible on Kim's face.

Kim nodded slightly as she played with a piece of her hair. I smiled and followed her example, softly tugging at a curl of her brown hair before I traced my finger over her cheek. Her eyes closed for a moment before she smiled. "Can you shift? I'd like to know you as your wolf."

I swallowed, thinking about it for a moment; had I enough control over my wolf so that he wouldn't jump and mark Kim. "Thanks for the vote of confidence." He scoffed, hopefully looking at Kim. "You can keep control as much as you like, I wouldn't chase our mate away."

With a sigh I stood up from the bed. "I'm going to shift but you must promise not to run away. Although it's part of me, I can't control the strongest instincts of my wolf." Kim tilted her head slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face as a small wrinkle appeared between her eyes.

Leaning forwards, I brushed over the crease while I hovered closer to her. "What's going through your mind right now?" I asked in a whisper, worried that she was having second thoughts about being with a werewolf. Kim blushed lightly in discomfort while she played with the hem of her shirt.

"He's not going to a-attack me or something, right?" Kim's words were soft enough but I could still hear them. Grasping her hands softly between mine, I kneeled between her legs as I laid her hands on my face so she could feel my expression.

"No Kim, we would never, ever, hurt you willingly." I stated, shaking my head before I turned my head to the side to place a kiss in the palm of her hand. Damn, she smells so good. I took another whiff of that fresh forest scent with a hint of orchids and citrus before I leaned against her hand, growling in content as she moved it over my face.

"It's just that, if you'd run while I am in wolf-form, my hunting instincts could take over and I'll end up chasing you and pin you down. For us, it's a game but you might feel frightened or even injure yourself if you trip." I added while I swallowed as my wolf whined at the thought of Kim getting hurt because of us.

Kim smiled as she brushed her fingertips gently over my eyes and lips. "I understand." She yawned slightly, causing me to stand up. "Okay, I'll shift now so you can feel how I look and then we're going to bed. It's a big day tomorrow." I grinned, thinking about the fact that Kim might have a job by this time tomorrow.

My eyes searched the room, trying to find an ideal spot for this first greeting between my wolf and our mate, disregarding the bed or the loveseat before I just shrugged and pulled a few pillows of the bed and threw them on the floor, making sure that Kim would sit as comfortable as possible.

I guided her over to the spot and sat her down. Before I could back away, she tilted her head slightly. "Don't tell me you'll ruin your clothes by changing? That would be costly..." A laugh escaped my lips while Kim flushed a bit and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Next I was hit on the head by a crumpled up piece of bubble wrap.

"Sorry love." I grinned down at her, shaking my head lightly at the barely there flush. "You're not far off but thanks to science, we can keep our clothes on as we shift. They just disappear on our wolf forms but when we shift back, we're still clothed." I frowned lightly while crossing my own arms, looking up at the ceiling in thought. "It's a micro-fiber science or something. I don't know how it works but it does work for us."

Without any further interruption, I shifted on the spot, holding my breath as I noticed that Kim's posture tensed slightly; with her heightened senses, she could probably feel the aura coming of my wolf. It was wilder, more dangerous than the aura I emitted in human form.

"Will?" she breathed and I yipped in response, whining as she jolted at the sound. I mentally groaned as I lowered myself on the floor before I realized that she couldn't see my submission. Softly rising to my paws, I took slow, measured steps, assessing her posture and breathing.

"Calm down love. It's just me." I sent her when her breathing picked up slightly. She looked around, trying to find the source of my voice before she frowned and I could see her mouth, "What the..." I chuckled, a deep, rasping sound in my wolf form while I strengthened the connection between us.

"It's called the pack mind love. We can communicate mentally with every single member of our pack. I, William Ian Smith, accept you in our pack as the next Alpha in line. All you have to do now, is to say that you accept the invitation. You'll hear a rushing noise, as if you're near the sea from all the connections that will be made."

Kim nodded and accepted the link, frowning slightly at all the different voices that rushed through her mind. She tilted her head from side to side and blinked. "That's odd; your mental voice doesn't have a source. It just pops out of nowhere."

I chuckled again and stepped forwards, lowering my furry head to nuzzle her arm. Kim yelped and pulled her arm back when my cold, wet nose rubbed over her bare arm before she laughed and slowly reached her hand out, petting the fur on my head. My eyes closed on their own accord and a purring growl rumbled through my chest as I enjoyed this new sensation.

Kim's soft fingers brushed through the pelt, over my scalp until she rubbed over my ear. My hind leg started scratching at the air while I whimpered; that felt so good! Strange but good. Kim had leaned closer to me so she could reach my ear. Feeling a bit mischievous, I reached forwards and with a smirk on my lips, I licked her cheek.

"Eew!" she yelped while stumbling back, rubbing the saliva of her cheek. Kim shivered slightly at the spit dangling of her hand before I barked a laugh and shifted back, walking to the bathroom to get some washcloths to clean her up. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up so we can go to sleep." I said over my shoulder.

It was only a few minutes later that Kim and I were laying in the bed with my arms wrapped around Kim's frame as her head leaned on my chest. Her breath started to even out after a while and I smiled down at her. It was strange to realize that this wouldn't change in the future. Kim was staying here, with me and I loved every bit of it!

With a contented sigh, I closed my eyes and tucked my face in the crook of her neck, falling asleep with that tantalizing scent that was purely Kim teasing my nose.

---------

An unintelligible muttered word broke through my sleepy haze. I blinked lazily, rolling to my side before I felt the added warmth in my bed, realizing that my dream in fact wasn't a dream; Kim was really sleeping here with me. I turned around and smiled down at my little mate before I brushed a few hair strands out of her face.

My eyes took her sleeping form in; her slack jaw, her fluffed up hair, the tear rolling down her cheek...Wait, what? My body tensed as I noticed that Kim was shivering, occasionally shrinking in herself as her head lolled from side to side. Another whimper escaped her mouth and I cursed out loud. She was having another nightmare!

Without a second thought, I swooped her in my arms and pulled her against my chest, her head securely tucked under my chin as I cradled her in my arms, slightly weaving back and forth while trying to calm her down. "Shh Kim. Everything's all right. I'm here, you are safe and those bastards will never lay another hand on you. I promise." I coed softly, rejoicing when her body relaxed in my arms.

After a few more soft noises, her breathing relaxed back to normal and I sighed, kissing her cheek softly before I pulled her on my chest. It seemed that the physical contact between us helped her to sleep, and I wasn't complaining about it either. Wrapping my arms around her after I made sure that she was completely covered under the duvet, I smiled and fell asleep, thinking about my mate.

---Kim's POV---

I smiled widely as Will guided me back towards his car. The meeting with the critics has gone rather smoothly; they had wanted some proof that I was legally blind and that I indeed made the works claimed to be mine.

Will had grumbled under his breath about that but I passed the paperwork of the hospital through, convincing the critics that I was blind and that no operation could give me my sight back.. The critics had given me their sympathies before they voiced their interest in my works and finally decided to give me a job, along with a place in their gallery to present my works.

So, here I am now, bouncing on my feet as Will was laughing with my excitement. "Calm down love, you might trip over your own feet if you keep this up." Will exclaimed in a soft tone, his worries clearly audible for me. I shook my head while my lips twisted up in a smile; He was always so protective of me, making sure that nothing could harm me.

"And for good reasons too; I would go crazy, literally, if anything happens to you." Will piped up and I gasped slightly. "Can you hear my thoughts?" I asked in a slightly shocked tone as I blushed slightly. God, this could become so embarrassing if he could! What if he heard that I thought he was cute, that I loved the sound of his voice-

"Thanks love, I like you too." He chirped, the smirk and male satisfaction dripping from his voice. I buried my face in his neck as he laughed, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. "That answers my question." I muttered against his neck.

His laughter bounced of the interior of the car. "It does, doesn't it?" I rolled my eyes slightly as the engine roared to life before I turned my head towards him. "It's just not fair that I can't have some private thought. I don't even know how to snoop around in another's mind!"

Will's hand landed on my thigh, the warmth creeping through my jeans and making me blush slightly. "Don't worry Kim, I wasn't snooping around, you were just projecting your thoughts. I'll teach you how to protect them and how you can make contact with the pack, okay?"

I nodded and squeezed his hand, feeling slightly giddy as he turned his hand to grab mine while his thumb started to rub soothing circles on the back of my hand. "So, do you like living in the packhouse?" Will asked, his seat squeaking slightly as he moved his weight in the seat. The car took a turn and I could hear we were close; the sound of the engine bounced back off the trees we passed and I knew that the packhouse was located in the forest.

"Yes, it was strange to be greeted at breakfast. I'm used to the silence of my house." I replied, musing slightly over the memory of this morning. Will had tugged at my hand, almost forcing me downstairs so we could have breakfast with the others. I had been surprised to be greeted by several voices and a few members of the pack had split off of their groups to introduce themselves to me.

Will squeezed my hand gently, bringing me back to the present. "We can always move to one of the houses for mated wolves if you like. It's more tranquil and we'd be alone most of the time-" I shook my head slightly as I squeezed his hand back. "No, no, no, I'm fine with living in the packhouse. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to live with you on our own but I would like some company as well. I've been on my own for too long."

I heard a soft growl on my left and I could barely hear the words, "Glad we're going to press charges against them." before Will stepped out and walked around the car to open my door. Stepping out, I smiled when Will's arms looped around my waist as he pulled me against his chest. "What are you doing," I asked, amused by his antics. I felt him shrug while he held me closer. "You looked like you needed a hug."

A smirk slid over my face although I welcomed the hug. "You just want to get your hands on me." I teased, a warm feeling bubbling up when I heard Will's voice rumble through his chest. "On to me already huh? Can't blame me for wanting to lay my hands on my mate, who's a gorgeous girl, inside and out."

I huffed and playfully pushed his head away before I walked towards the packhouse. My head tilted to the side as I heard paws running around, a few yips rang through the air followed by a distant thud and I shook my head slightly. Will stepped up behind me before he interlaced our hands.

"Why did you stop?" When I frowned, not understanding his sentence, he gently tugged at my hand to get us inside. "You stopped walking and just stood there for a moment. Why did you stop?" Oh, now I understood. I shrugged and motioned with a hand towards the sounds of the running wolves.

"Just was thinking to myself that I wish I could see all this. It must be amazing." My tone turned wishful but I knew there was no hope; the nerves in my eyes were too damaged to repair, no matter how many operations I would get. Will's hand darted over my face, rubbing over my cheek while he coed softly in my ears and I realized that I was crying.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I just realized that I'll never be able to see all...this." I said while Will kneeled down and picked me up. I shook my head, "I'm being ridiculous." Will stopped and sat me down on the chair. "No Kim, you're being strong, stronger than you should have to be. I can't imagine what the world must be like without your vision."

He cradled my face in his hands and pecked my lips. "I'd probably be sitting in a corner, constantly brooding if I were you." He teased and I smiled, blinking the last tears away. Footsteps neared and I felt Will freeze before he growled loudly and spun around, standing between my legs so I was completely out of sight for whoever it was.

"What do you want, Violet?" Will spat, slightly crouching down. I reached for the sound and placed my hand on Will's lower back. His muscles coiled and flexed under my hand before he relaxed slightly, stepping back in the touch.

"Please William, I want to apologize. I know that I misbehaved, I was being a bitch quite frankly but I want to get to know Kim." A growl ran through the air before Will groaned slightly. "Fine, fine! I'll give you a chance but if you mess up Vi." He threatened, leaving the rest of his sentence unspoken.

Rolling my eyes, I poked him in the ribs. "Be nice to your family." I scolded before I turned my head towards the girl. I heard her gasp before she said, "I'm sorry, it's just that I thought Will said that you're blind."

A frown crept on my face. "I am blind, yes. Why?" Violet shuffled with her feet before she stepped a bit closer. "Why aren't your eyes white then?" My face cleared up before I started laughing. "Oh, that. That's just a misconception. You see, the white blind eyes only appear if you have cataract, if your blindness is caused by inflammation or if your eye muscles deteriorate which causes the eyes to roll back." I said, ticking them of my fingers as I went.

"Oh." Violet responded before loud footsteps were coming our way. "Kim! Let's have some fun and dress up, doll! Come on, up you go." Kath said while yanking at my arm. I huffed and playfully rolled my eyes. "Dress up? This again? Kath, yes, you can borrow my corsets but you have to return them."

I heard Kath jump up and down while she chanted "Yes!" over and over again until David walked in. "What's all the fuss about?" he wondered out loud before I heard the sound of two lips meeting each other.

"Kim's borrowing us her corsets. Wait! We'll have a little show for you guys. You sit right here and Will, you sit right there and don't move!" Kath exclaimed before I was tugged upstairs while Kath kept rambling against Violet. Turning towards Will's sister, I rolled my eyes and said, "It's better to go with it because Kath won't shut up until she got what she wanted."

"Uh, okay." Violet said, a little unsure but I could swear that I heard a smile in her voice. Five minutes later and Kath was pulling at the strings of the corset she literally shoved me into. When I had protested against this whole idea, she just had shook her head and replied with a smirk in her tone, "We need Will to see how gorgeous you really are and we need the rest of the she-wolves to see that Will caught the right Alpha female."

I laughed when I understood. "Is this your way of protecting me from possible jealous females?" Kath's laughter bubbled through the air as she responded, "Yep! Now let's go downstairs and show off!"

---Will's POV---

"Stop being so nervous and sit down William! For crying out loud, you're acting as if she's coming down those stairs naked!" Tyler exclaimed while he placed his hands on my shoulders and pushed me back down next to an equally nervous David. He was nervously rubbing his hands over each other while he kept glancing at the stairs.

"Well, I'm sorry but when I hear them say that they would be wearing corsets, my wolf thinks about those silk things that you'll only show your mate behind closed doors." David snarled at Tyler and I nodded, secretly agreeing with him, though I doubted that that's what Kim would wear.

Next thing my head collided with David's as Tyler waked our heads together. "OW! What the HELL Tyler?!" I snarled, jumping up while rubbing the sore spot. Tyler just scowled and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "You guys would really think that low of your mates to come down here in lingerie?"

That question caused us to blush in an embarrassed way and we shot glances at each other, knowing that we had interpreted everything wrong. A sound on the stairs caused us to turn around and both David and me let out a sigh of relief when we saw a pair of jeans-clad legs coming down the stairs.

However, when Kim came in full view, I gulped for air while clenching my fists, not in anger but in an attempt to control myself. The corset was stylish, a brown-red color with a barely there row of knots in the front. A brown belt was draped over the left bust and down under the right, with a silver-ish chain draped over her right hip. All in all, it was classy and stylish instead of the nearly there underwear both David and I had feared.

"But holy cow, our mate looks good!" I exclaimed mentally, causing my wolf to chuckle. "I wouldn't exactly compare Kim to a cow William but indeed, that piece of clothing accentuates everything without being too much. Well, I don't know about you but if she keeps standing there with that on, it will be too much to bare and that will come off!"

I stepped forwards to Kim and gathered her in my arms as I moved upstairs with her. She seemed shocked for a moment before she pouted. "You don't like it?" She guessed, frowning as I placed her down in our room.

"Don't like it? Don't like it? God, help me!

Taking a deep, shuttering breath, I slowly let it out and said, "That's the thing Kim. I like it, a lot. But I like it too much and seeing that we are just in this relationship, I don't want to push you into anything but if you don't change, I'm afraid that my wolf might tempt me to mark you and I'm sorely tempted to do it myself."

Kim flushed before she let out a small giggle that caused me to look up at her. That sound was so carefree, happy that I vowed that I wanted to hear it at least once a day. Kim nodded her head, distracting me with her brown curls bouncing up and down while she said something and turned around.

I looked at the back of her corset and frowned slightly when Kim patiently waited for something. "Uh....i'm.....sorry? I wasn't listening, I mean, I was but you got me distracted and now you're standing there and..." Her shoulders started shaking when she tried to contain her laughter, shaking her head from side to side. "I'll just shut up now." I mumbled.

"Will, I asked if you can undo the laces. I can't open the corset from the front because it will damage the knots if I do so and this one was rather pricy." I nodded, although she couldn't see it and mentally kicked myself. "Sorry, I nodded but I keep forgetting that I shouldn't do that. You can't see it."

I started untying the knot in the laces before I loosened the strings as Kim held the corset up her front. "No, but I can hear it. You're still moving air and that produces sound Will." I blinked, surprised before I nodded again. "I didn't knew that. Uh, you can let go now."

Kim flushed even deeper and shook her head. "No, I can't... I don't think you know much about corsets Will, but uh...you don't wear anything underneath it." My eyes grew wide before I swallowed, hoping that I wouldn't choke on my own saliva as my throat tightened slightly. "I'll be, uh, just outside the door then." I said before I nearly ran out of the room.

--------

A few hours later and the girls were piled up in the kitchen, where they were cooking and baking while Violet made it her task to chase the guys out who wanted to sneak in to steal the cookie dough. Kath ran upstairs for a moment before she came down with a pocketsize speaker and placed it on the counter before connecting it with her I-pod.

They laughed and giggled, causing David and I to smile at the glee on our mates' faces as they heard a song they apparently liked running through the air. Kim laughed and shook her head as Kath demanded, "Come on, we got to sing to this Kim! Violet, you too girl."

Kim rolled her eyes at Kath but complied when Kath tapped her with the wooden spoon, forcing me to swallow the growl that wanted to erupt from my throat at the red blotch before it quickly disappeared.

The sight of Kim dancing and singing along was too much and I quickly made my way to the kitchen to hug Kim to my chest. "Having fun?" I asked softly as I placed a kiss in the crook of her neck. She nodded and chirped, "Tons! I haven't had this much fun in ages."

"Well, you're gonna love this!" Kath shouted before a tomato was launched in the air and splattered in Kim's face. She yelped and blinked disbelievingly before she scowled, "Oh no you didn't!" She felt behind her until she got a handful of spare cookie dough, which she successfully threw in Kath's hair. "Take that!"

Five minutes later, all of us, meaning Me, Kim, Violet, Kath, David, Tyler, Thomas and Jordan were covered in eggs, tomato, cookie dough, flower and sugar. I just aimed a pair of eggs at Jordan when a door was opened, followed by a shocked screech.

Everyone froze and we slowly turned our heads to the door with guilty expressions on our faces. "What has happened to my kitchen? Who's gonna clean this mess up?" Mom exclaimed while she looked at the egg-stains on her ceiling, the tomatoes splattered against the wall and the flour covering the floor.

I shared a look with the others before I sighed and wrapped my arms around my mate. We had some serious explaining and kissing up to do.
