winter. I love a bowl of hot soup on a cold day. But I have my own slow cooker, vegetable peeler, and sharp knife, which is all I need to do that,” said Dakota coming out of the shower.
    “Lewis and I were hoping you’d move in with us. We’d use this place as our base, but once Lewis’s roof house is built we’d mostly sleep there.”
    “Apart from the bedroom with the skylight, and a closet, how big will your house be, Lewis?”
    Lewis looked at her seriously. He’d drawn up several different plans for his house but hadn’t made any final decisions as yet. “The entire space is only ten feet wide and thirty feet long. Allowing for a gate to lock and a small porch, the house would be perhaps twenty-five feet long and almost ten wide. I was really thinking just one room with the bed the full width of the structure at the back under a skylight, and the front part of the room furnished with a few arm chairs or a couch. The sidewall will be all closets except for a half bathroom.”
    She smiled at him in a way that made his heart beat faster and his cock stand up again. “That sounds lovely. Like a little cabin in the woods. Our very own rooftop hideaway.”
    “Is that a yes? You will move in with us?” asked Andreas.
    “I will share your bed and your house, yes. But I know you wolves. You’re into this forever commitment thing with no turning back. I’m not agreeing to anything like that.”
    “Why not?” Lewis loved her and knew he’d never love anyone the way he loved Dakota. He was ready to accept Andreas, a man he called his friend, as well. No man could have a better friend than the burly blond fitness center manager. But perhaps it was a more difficult decision for a woman.
    “I like you both very much. I enjoy your companionship and friendship and the orgasms have been outstanding. But I’m not ready to sign up for my entire life yet.”
    “You do know we would never try to force you to do anything you didn’t want to do, don’t you?” asked Andreas.
    “I understand that, and I like you both. Just leave it there for now.”
    Lewis knew that she wouldn’t change her mind if they argued. It wasn’t what he’d wanted to hear, but at least she was agreeing to spend her time with them and sleep with them. He liked the idea of going to bed beside her and waking up the next morning with her still there. He’d been alone so much and he needed that silence and space. But he also needed the warmth and companionship of a few special people. Andreas and Dakota.
    “Your shift changes today doesn’t it?” Lewis asked her.
    “Yes. I’m on from midnight to eight, which means I need to get home and get organized. I have to bring my own snacks and drinks because the stores are shut and I need to make sure all my laundry is up to date and a lot of other boring things.”
    Lewis wondered when he’d see her next. She would see Andreas after he opened the fitness center at six because it was part of the round she walked on duty. Maybe he’d go to the fitness center then, too, although it was usually full of very dedicated wolves exercising before their workday started. But he could sit at the reception desk with Andreas and stay out of everyone’s way. At least then I’ll see her. I’ll do that.

    Dakota quite enjoyed the midnight to eight shift. It tended to be very quiet, and there was usually time to stand in the parking lot admiring the city lights or to sit on a chair in the food court and just rest and look around. Occasionally there was trouble, usually with kids, like the Dumpster that had been overturned a little while ago. That sort of thing happened, but not very often. Usually there were just the last few patrons leaving from the cinema and restaurants. Maybe someone whose car wouldn’t start and who had to call a tow truck. Then there were hours of peace and silence until the first of the early birds arrived to exercise at the gym.
    The keen gym goers arrived at about a
