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. “
Steven glances up at me. “Something wrong?” Guess my mood shift was obvious. “Just worrying about Neil.” Steven nods as he returns to work. “Me, too.” Silence falls around us again but it’s companionable this time, rather than awkward. Hanging out with Steven feels like this sometimes. We coex
Beau POV No sooner does Beau have his date in his room, than his hands go directly to those massive tits that have been taunting him all night. His date purposefully put them on display to drive him wild, and he’s eager to feel. Yet, she playfully bats his hands away. “Sit,” she says. She grabs
I awake to the sound of some asshole pounding at my door. I look at the clock. It’s 2 freaking am. I want to roll over and go back to sleep, but whoever it is, is incessant. Grumbling, I pull myself out of bed. The place better be on fire or something for how much urgency is in that knocking. I
With my tits on display, he takes his fill of the view. His dick jumps. It must be painful, having it constrained in his tight pants. He’s too busy holding my arms to do much about it. “Gods, you are bless,” he says, voice lust-rough. “And so am I, to get to see them. And touch them. And… taste…”
The next morning, I take Mia into the kitchen for her morning meal. Beau is already there eating eggs and toast. There are dirty dishes in the sink. Did his date cook for him? Not that I care. Beau catches my line of sight and rolls his eyes. “I’m not totally helpless, you know. I can make eggs.”
When I get back to the Pyramid, I’m still feeling a bit down. I can’t really help myself. I accept Mia back from Archer, and he watches me with a probing gaze. But he doesn’t say anything, so neither do I. Even Mia can tell that I’m feeling depressed. Her own expression crumples. I try to fake a s
I’m happy because I have four hearts beating alongside mine.“Do you feel it, too?” I ask. “My connection to each of you?”I blink my eyes open once more. I want to see their faces, their reactions.Neil has his hand over his own heart. “It’s strange. It’s like part of you is inside of me.”“Me, too
In the darkness of my mind, I floated, surrounded by the comforting embrace of love. Distantly, I could feel another presence, one that grew stronger and stronger, the more I focused on it: my wolf.As I thought of her, she appeared before me as if I willed her into being. Maybe I did. We are in my
Damn alpha wolves and their heightened senses.“I’ve already made my choice,” I say. “Honestly, I think I made it a long, long time ago.”Archer relaxes marginally. Steven starts to smile.Neil turns to me, worry still on his face. “You say that now, Chloe. But the pull could be strong…”“I don’t ca
The eve of my birthday, I rest in bed and stare at my ceiling. It’s late, near midnight, but I still have my bedside light on.With my feelings shared and grown with Neil, Archer, and Steven, I didn’t expect to spend any night alone, especially the one right before the day that could change everythi
I awake to a sharp knock on my bedroom door. Neil’s arm is still draped over me but some distance had inched between our hot bodies in the night. I’m able to slink out from under his arm without him waking.Naked, I quickly stop by the bathroom to throw on my fluffy bathrobe. Then, after glancing ba
They.Beau glances at me and see my incredulous look. “What do I need to go out every night? Can’t a man just enjoy staying home for a change?”“You can do whatever the hell you want,” I say.“Good, then.” Beau slumps down on the couch. He stretches out, lifting his feet up and into my lap. “Now tel
For the rest of the morning, I desperately try not to think about Neil. Whoever he’s in love with, I won’t be offended by it. The hurt I feel has nothing to do with this new person. She must be great for her to have won Neil’s affections.The hurt is my own loss, my own problem. I let my feelings fo
After Steven and I have cleaned ourselves up with a quick shower, we fall back into bed together, giggling and laughing all the way. My now, Steven has discovered a few of my tickle zones, which he is exploiting. As revenge, I touch the places I now know make him shiver.For a while, nothing seems l
His hands fumbled with the buttons of his own shirt. Such usually steady hands are rendered useless by his nervousness.“Allow me,” I tell him. I lightly bat his hands out of the way before replacing them with mine on his shirt buttons. My times with Neil have served me well. I’m able to undo all th
