“He wants us to go to Apollo,” I tell our other two mates as we ready Jacob for a bath. Lethe is freezing and he’s always shivering and all goose bumpy by the time that he gets back home. This time his lips are slightly blue and his skin is pale. I’m worried.We all are.“Why? What can Apollo do that the Lethe can’t?” Alexander asks me.“Michael thinks that because Apollo is used to dealing with humans, he might have better success than what we’ve been doing?” I say, hurriedly taking my clothes off as Alexander and Josefina take off Jacob’s clothes. His baths work better when we’re all in there with him and right now I don’t trust him to stay above water by himself right now.His wolf, though awake and responsive, doesn’t seem to be healing him as well this time. Michael thinks that it’s because his wolf is losing his angelic powers faster than Jacob is. It’s his wolf’s way of protecting Jacob’s human form.I realize that I keep saying ‘Michael thinks’ about five more times than
I know that Jake and Hermes are going at it, Jake pretty much nonsensical with how needy he is. But right now, I can’t look beyond JoJo and the way that her eyes are devouring every inch of me. Fuck, this she-wolf knows exactly what each and every one of us likes and she deploys her skills with alacrity. I watch as she adds a bit of a wiggle to her hips, causing her heavy breasts to sway. They somehow got bigger and fuller after having the triplets. Actually, they seem even fuller over the past few days. That thought makes something in his brain hitch. Like there’s something important about that piece of information. But then JoJo cups both of her tits in her hands, one finger on each had reaching up to swipe over her nipples, and that though completely dissipates as he watches her. Were she a bit taller, I’d be able to smell her arousal, but the water in the tub is too high for that. She reaches me and pushes my thighs apart and she settles
“Thor, Erik will be awake soon,” I complain, but not very forcefully.Thor has his nose in my neck, his tongue playing alone her matemark. Our little godling is napping, but Thor, who had been visiting his father, just got home. And he is hungry.Just not for food.“He’s fine. He’s a godling. He can care for himself. Magic his own food. Care for his own entertainment. And isn’t Tethys just next door?” Thor’s voice sends shivers through my body, causing my core to clench and prepare for his entry. This is exactly what Thor does to me. Every single time.And the fact that he has had my Auntie Tethys come to act as a nanny for our son, Erik, and that he’s been hinting at Erik needing a brother or sister, tells me exactly what has been on his mind lately. The man is able as subtle as the damn hammer he carries around. I feel my body start to melt against his, my resolve to try and push his advances until later in the evening start to crumble and fall. There is truly
“Are you sure that you’ll be ok, babe?” I ask Freya. She looks at me from her seat on the couch. She has a heating pad on her back and her feet in magickally heated water filled with Epsom salts. She’s also drinking some tea with turmeric and ginger to help with the swelling that seems to be growing out of control with all of the rain lately. With both of us being at least half witch and half werewolf, we weren’t sure whether she would take after our witch side or our werewolf side. With how fast her stomach is rounding and her being only a few weeks along, it seems like the werewolf side is going to be taking over. Honestly, I’m happy about that. I want to meet our child. And I’m dying to know whether they are a boy or a girl. Waving me off, she picks up the remote for the television. “No, love. Go to your meeting. I’m just going to watch some trash TV. Maybe take a nap. I somehow have the afternoon off and I’m taking damn go
After I was finally able to calm down from the post-treatment sex and we had all nearly been asleep in our huge bed, all tangled in each other, Alex had sat up and cried out, “You’re pregnant!” He explained about noticing that JoJo’s breasts were fuller and us noticing how much more sensitive she was during sex. Alex had put it together and insisted that JoJo take a pregnancy test. JoJo tried to say that we didn’t have any in stock and Hermes produced one out of thin air. Seeing a demi-god, a god, an angel, and a werewolf stand over a stick for three minutes and waiting to see if a line shows up must have been an amazing sight to see. Even more so when that line showed up and we’d realized that in four months we’ll have another set of triplets with us. At first, there was nothing but surprised silence. And then huge smiles and more sex. Celebratory sex this time. Hermes got to pick the boys’ names, picking “good Greek names.” This t
Stepping into the house, I smile at my father’s assistant, Corey. “Hey Corey! How’s Larissa?” Corey’s mate is due any day with their fourth pup in four years. Those poor parents! They’ll never have a full night’s sleep again. Well, at least not for the next 16 yeas until the pups enroll in Arcadia University. “Ready to be finished,” Corey laughs. He looks exhausted, but extremely happy. Their other three pups seemed to have gotten their mother’s antsiness and hadn’t been sleeping well. He had been up with them and his mate. Ba had told him to go home and sleep while the pups were at daycare, but Corey insisted that they needed to work. Continuing, Corey asks, “You looking for Hakeem, Gael, or Meredith?” I smile. Even though Corey only works for one of the my parents, he always seems to know exactly where the other two are. “I’m looking for Ba. I was hoping that he had some time free for lunch.” Though I know that
I am running around my apartment trying to get everything ready for my date with Fati tonight. I want everything to be perfect. I had mindlinked Fati this morning asking if she would come to my place for dinner tonight. I want to ask her to be my chosen mate tonight. Dad’s words had quite the opposite effect on me than he intended. Dad wants me to let Fati go and ‘buckle down’ to find my fated mate, but it has just made me even more determined to stay with Fati.We’ve been together for over three years. In that time, we’ve both looked for our fated mates and have had no luck at all. And honestly, I’m tired of waiting. I love Fati and she loves me. We’ve been together for years and we make sense. I want to make her mine.Hopefully she will be by the end of the night.My mother had taught me how to cook, saying that I couldn’t trust that my mate would be a marvel in the kitchen. Just look at Bella. As amazing as she is with her cauldron and in brewing po
“Are you sure you’re comfortable? We could see if Michael would be ok with us using Citra’s glen. She has a pretty comfortable set up there,” I ask Freya. She rolls her eyes but smiles indulgently at me. “I have always come here to astral project. It’s where I feel the most comfortable. I’d rather stay here.” Freya and I are at the wide rock next to the riverbank where Bella always likes to astral project. It’s a beautiful July evening, the sun starting its slow dip down into the horizon. The air is warm, but there is a slight breeze and the cover of the trees makes it cooler here by the water. The small river that Bella used to sit beside has widened and deepened over the years as we have diverted some of the water this way due to erosion in different areas. It’s now a great place to swim and cool off. And that gives me an idea. “You still haven’t told me whether you are comfortable or not, babe. With all the swell
