Neil takes another breath. Then, like it pains him, he says, “I’m drawn to you… in a way I don’t fully understand.” I blink once, twice, as I try to let my brain process the words. It’s taking a good long while. Neil motions to Archer. “Archer is too.” Now, I’m doubly confused. Triply, when Ar
Steven leaves first. Then Archer, with Beau behind. Beau winks at me as he passes. I ignore him, feeling too emotionally raw to interpret whatever he thinks is about to happen here. I highly, highly doubt that Neil feels up for any kind of sexual intimacy. Once Beau’s out the door, he closes it
“Sorry for tasting like silver,” he says. “I can’t tell,” I say honestly. Without a wolf of my own, I don’t notice. Maybe if I was young like Mia, with a vulnerable immune system, I would feel a sting of pain in Neil’s presence. As it is, at my age without a wolf, I feel only his lips. “I might wa
“Promise me you will never approach my father,” Neil says. His eyes hold mine prisoner, the intensity in his so captivating, I can’t look away. “Never speak to him. Even if you are summoned, do not go.” This all seems a bit extreme. I know he’s a major asshole, but… “I’m pretty sure it’s illegal
Neil is still sound asleep beside me, gently snoring. I’m hesitant to leave his side. He looks so peaceful in sleep. But then I hear Mia again and my mind is made up. Carefully, I extract my limbs from around Neil, and roll out of bed. I wait a moment as I stand, half expecting Neil to rouse, bu
Beau leans back and looks at me, affronted, like I’ve horribly offended him. “Oh, I see what’s happening here.” “Good,” I say, grateful that he’s finally come into some self-awareness. It is incredibly inappropriate to take a baby into a bar to meet a random hook-up date. “You’re jealous,” he sa
I focus on that thought, that feelings are out of the equation entirely, and take Mia back to the playroom. Unfortunately, that thought doesn’t block out the burning discomfort in my chest. I set Mia down near her blocks then quickly check my front and profile views in the nearby view. My boobs ar
The longer it takes Steven to answer, the worse I feel for bothering him with this kind of question. It’s insecure, for one thing, which goes against my nature generally. Freaking Beau makes me feel like I’m on unequal footing sometimes. It isn’t fair of me to push that onto Steven to deal with. “
“Archer…” I start, but I’m still not sure. I don’t want to ruin the surprise. After all, he could just be guessing. The taxi pulls up in front of City Hall. Stepping out onto the sidewalk, I’m immediately bombarded with the flashes of cameras and the shouts of questions. “Mrs. Hayes!” the call f
“It hasn’t even been that long since I left them,” I tell Archer as he and I ride side by side in the back of a truck away from the border lands and back towards home. “But everyone’s so anxious.” I can feel it through the bond. “Can you blame them?” Archer asks. “Their mate is living a life as a
“You’ve been fucked all night, but it’s not enough, is it? You need this dick.” He takes himself in hand and slowly begins to stroke from base to tip. A bead of precum glistens at his slit. I lick my lips, desperate to taste it. “You want to suck my dick, slut?” Archer asks. He steps closer to m
When I awaken, I’m cradled in the safety of Neil’s arms, my cheek to his chest with him carding his fingers through my hair. Lifting my head, he pauses, watching me as I take in our surroundings. This bed has gotten lower somehow or… wait… “We broke the bed,” I say, looking around. “Yes,” Neil
“Show me,” he says. I know what he’s asking me to do. Slowly I place my hands on my shoulders, then trail them down, gently massaging my breasts. I pluck my nipples, gasping. It’s only partially for show. With how much I’ve explored my body while sleeping with these brothers, I know exactly what I
I’m not sure how long I’m on that roof, with Beau holding me in his arms. Gently, he licks at the mark he’s made as if attempting to soothe it. It’s already healed, I can tell, though it never really hurt when he gave it to me. The opposite, actually. “You really are incredible, Nanny,” Beau says,
After snooping, his ear pressed to the door to Steven’s lab, Beau storms back toward the living room where his other brother’s await, furious. “He’s fucking her!” Archer tenses at once, sharing Beau’s outrage. Neil seems annoyed but remains infuriatingly calm like normal. “We’ll each get our t
He glances back at me like clockwork. This time, his eyes widen, seeing my new position. His nostrils flare, scenting the air. I’m not unaffected either, not by any of this. The brothers feel a pull to me, but I feel that pull four times over. I want their bites. I need their bites. That they
As the four brothers look at me with desire burning in their eyes, exhilaration and anticipation rush through me. For so long, I worried about who my mate might be and how I could manage to stay with the Hayes brothers. Now that I belong to them – almost officially, soon as I have their bites – I ca
