took a step past Gideon. I wanted to touch him, but it could wait until we had more time. Making my way over to the door, I let out a sigh before pushing it open and stepping into the house. My mates close behind me. The smell of meat cooking hit me and my mouth watered. Garlic and pepper mixed with the smell and I heard Travis let out a groan behind me. There was another smell,

“That smells fucking amazing.”
