Alek chuckled, his chest vibrating against her. “She has a point,” he said, his hand brushing her hair back gently.
I couldn’t help the grin tugging at my lips. “Fair enough.”
Amber shifted slightly, patting the space next to her. “Come sit,” she said, her voice soft but insistent. “You both look like you need a break.”
Aaron and I didn’t need to be told twice. I settled on the other side of her, my shoulder brushing hers, while Aaron dropped down beside me. The firelight danced across her features, highlighting the faint golden undertones of her skin.
Amber turned her gaze to me again, her teasing smile sharpening slightly as she scrunched her nose. “You guys reek,” she said, her voice laced with mock disapproval. “Blood, sweat, dirt... I can smell it from here.”
