7-Home with Kale

Months Later (American Thanksgiving)

Ari’s POV

“Good morning,” Kale whispers as we untangle from last night.

“Do you have to go home?” I ask with a whine. “I can’t imagine sleeping alone.”

Kale smiles and captures my lips. Kale and I can’t get enough of each other.

The triplets have been trying to win me back every day and I am determined to either always keep Kale or find a second chance.

After Kale and I climax, we shower together.

“Come with me,” Kale says as he packs his bag. “It would be nice to introduce you to my family.”

I smile and pull my packed bag from the closet.

Kale erupts in laughter.

“Sorry, I was hoping you would ask me!” I giggle.

“You are the silliest girl,” Kale pulls me to him for a long deep kiss. “I can’t believe you are with me.”

“Why?” I ask, looking up at him. He has one arm around me, holding me close and the other hand holding my face.

“Because I’m not good enough for you. But you and I laugh so much. Even when we disagree, we end up laughing. It’s so easy to love you,” he tells me.

We say it often, but we show it more often. He conjures flowers for no reason, he holds my hand even when the triplets are staring at us and helps me around the apartment. I cook for us, help him with homework, and make sure he is physically taken care of. But honestly, we both love to talk to each other and laugh. He is right, we laugh all the time.

“I do love you,” he tells me, looking into my eyes.

I can’t help smiling. “I love you too.”

We kiss and, of course, we almost miss our flight. I upgrade us to first class, because, why not.

“Show off,” Kale rolls his eyes as we settle in our seats.

“Don’t act like you don’t appreciate it,” I tell him, buckling my belt.

“Oh, I always do, but you are a showoff,” Kale smirks.

“It’s because I love you,” I tell him, leaning in for a kiss.

“I love you too,” Kale meets me halfway and we, basically, make out the entire flight.

Juliet- I know that as your wolf, I am not suppose to approve of him. But I like Kale. He has no ill intentions.

“Kale,” A taller, older version of Kale yells as we exit the tiny airport. “Who is this?”

“This is my girlfriend. I have spoken to you of her,” Kale holds me close.

“A powerful werewolf,” a small woman with natural curly hair whispers.

“Hello,” I hold out my hand to her first.

“Hanna,” she answers, shaking my hand.

“Jerome,” the man says, taking my hand. “We will prepare a room for her when we get back.”

“No, she and I share a bed,” Kale chuckles. “Have for months now.”

Juliet- Bed, bodily fluids, all of it.

I bury my face into his arm. I am too white to hide the blush that is blaring on my cheeks. Kale chuckles.

“American?” Hanna asks.

“German,” I answer with a nod.

As I hold to Kale, I smell them.

Juliet- It’s Tweetle Dum, Tweetle Dee, and their idiot brother.

“Don’t push,” I hear Finley.

I look back, all three of them are loading suitcases into a taxi.

“Babe,” I pull on Kale’s arm, making him turn around.

“Were they on our plane?” Kale asks. I shake my head.

We follow his parents to their car.

Kale points things out to me as we drive.

We both notice the triplet’s cab following us.

“The Conrad Triplets are visiting the Coven during break,” Jerome tells us.

Kale looks at me and I smirk.

Juliet- You know what, those three are much too stupid for us.

If they want to torture themselves fine.

We get to Kale’s house, and he carries our bags to his room.

When the door closes, we don’t speak, we know what to do.

Juliet- Work it, girl.

“Part of me hates being used as tool to hurt them,” Kale says as he thrusts in me.

“It became more than that a long time ago,” I pull him in for a kiss.

“You mean that?” He asks, slowing down.

I nod. “I love you, Kale. Hurting them is not important. It’s habit. But being with you, that is what I want.”

Kale leans in, covering me like a blanket. His dreadlocks fall into my face.

When he starts again, its gentle and he is holding me tightly.

“I love you,” he whispers as he kisses down my cheek and neck.

We are so close to climax I can feel it, when there is a banging on the door.

“Don’t stop,” I moan.

“I’m so fucking close,” Kale moans back.

Juliet- I love him too. He is so perfect for us.

Me- Is he ours?

Juliet- No, but I want his seed.

We ignore the door and find our peaks. As we start to come down, the door opens.

“What the hell?” Kale covers my body as the triplets stand in the doorway.

“Just stop torturing us,” Carter snaps at us. “We have tried everything to win you back. Just stop torturing us.”

Juliet- Start screwing Kale again. I like the screams.

Me- What is wrong with you?

Juliet- I’m a she-wolf scorn. And you thought woman were vicious.

I look at Kale and shake my head.

“I’m in love with him,” I say, looking at the triplets. “I won’t stop.”

Kale is catching his breath, but he stands up.

“Unless a second chance mate claims her, I will not give her up. I love her too.”

Juliet- Kale! Kale! He’s our man! If he can’t have us no one can!

Me- Okay, you are really starting to make me think he is our Mate.

Juliet- Both of us would love that, but he is not our mate. Unless, you chose him. And I’m not saying no.

“You three need to move on,” I tell them, trying not to laugh at Juliet.

“We can’t until you are marked,” Anderson looks defeated. “If you chose Kale, he can’t mark you. We will forever feel it.”

My heart actually pings at the idea.

Juliet- Serves them right!

Kale and I look at each other.

“We will slow down,” Kale offers. “But we won’t stop altogether. We enjoy each other.”

The triplets leave.

Juliet- I want to feel bad, but my give a damn is busted.

Kale lays next to me.

“I forgot about them always feeling it if I don’t get marked,” I say, snuggling into him. “I was going to ask you to be my chosen mate.”

“I was going to ask you to choose me,” Kale frowns.

I look up at him. “We can, if you really want. They did this to themselves. They don’t get to control my life.”

Kale holds me tight.

“Let’s see if you find a second chance,” Kale kisses my head.
