Megan POV He steps towards me, trying to get a hold of me again. I stepped back only to have my back hit the large floor to ceiling window that makes one entire wall of the stairwell. I will give it to the Alpha and Luna, they did a good job designing this place to give you views all around the forest so you don’t feel closed in, but still be protected from some of the harsh winter weather we get. Quinn places a hand on the window on either side of me at chest level, caging me. Stepping in closer, he slides his knee in between my thighs using his thigh to pick me up off the ground so that I’m now straddling his thigh, causing my already heating core to feel the fiction being caused by him flexing his leg muscles. I placed my hands on his shoulders to balance myself. He wrapped one arm around my waist, the other across my back, pulling me into his chest, he leans in and whispers. “I’m not letting you go anywhere until you tell me what’s bothering you.” He starts placing kisses as well
Quinn POV How can she think that I wouldn’t want people to know I had a thing for her? I know we never talked about it, but after yesterday I have been doing nothing but thinking about holding her. The only way I’m able to calm down and think is if she is near. I’m surprised I didn’t get my ass kicked during sparing. I was more focused on her than what I was doing. When I’d been standing around with some of the guys after training discussing going to the gym, I hadn’t even noticed that Avery and the others had shown up. I was too busy trying to calm myself down after one of the younger warriors that were still on the field had made a comment about wondering what Meg’s opinion was about per-mate sex was, because he’d like to make sure she got a lot of practise. I watched as Meg left the field. When I went to follow, I found that something was stuck to my side. That is when I realized who was there. I growl get off, Avery jumps back a bit and I take off after Meg. “Not going to the gym
Heather POVI was standing beside the door of the dining room scanning it, looking for April and Meg. I spotted April over near the line for the buffet and I made my way over to her. “Meg not here yet?” I asked.“No. I thought she would be.”“Is there any way that we would be able to take lunch with us? I just want to get away from here for awhile before Reed and Lucas piss me off again.”“Yeah, what is up with you three? The guys never go to that end of the field so they can avoid the Groomed Hunters.”“I will tell you and Meg as soon as we’re at my Grandma’s. There’s Meg now. If you can look into getting us a lunch packed, I’ll fill her in on the plan. Link me to let me know what you find out.”“I’ll go see what I can do.”April headed for the kitchen door while I made my way around the room to Meg. “Hey, April just left to see if there is any way to get some lunch packed up so we can take it with us and eat at my Grandma’s. I need to get out of here before the twins show up.”“That
Heather POV When we arrived at the house, Meg and April grabbed the food while I unlocked the door. None of us said anything as we unpacked and reheated our lunch. Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, some really good comfort food. I need it right now. April takes a bite of her sandwich and swallows and says “So who is going first or should I just ask questions and you two answer?” Meg turns towards me. “Can you go first? I’m still trying to get my thoughts in order.” I proceed to tell them about watching the movie the night before with Reed and Lucas. How I thought things were good. Then how they ignored me at breakfast and seemed upset with me, but I had no idea why. They then had the nerve to check out my ass. They then let their comments slip through the mind link to me. “And you haven’t talked to them yet?”April asked. “No. I was pissed. I spent all morning thinking that I did something wrong only to find out they just needed to stand back far enough to get a good look
Lucas POVAs the door closed behind my uncle and cousin, I turned and my eyes met my Dad’s, “Dad, did you, Uncle Aaron or even Mack have it as bad as Quinn is right now? I know you guys have always told us that it would be more intense for us because of our ranks, but what Quinn is going through seems worse than what you guys described.”“No it wasn’t. We are not sure what’s going on. Your Mom thinks it could be related to the curse that is on our bloodline, which is why it is affecting Quinn too. She’s doing some research.” Dad leaned back in the chair, put his legs out in front of him and crossed his ankles. “Ok what was it you guys wanted to talk about?”We both looked at Dad and said “Heather.”Dad sighs as he leans forward, puts his head into his hands and points at me. “You start.”“Ok here it goes. Both Reed and I have feelings for her that neither of us have felt towards other girls before, and nothing this strong. We don’t feel any jealousy towards each other; we have a very
Heather POV “After you fell asleep you laid down between us. Your legs were right there in front of me across my lap. It took so much control not to touch them. By the time the movie was over, I had my hands sitting on you right about where this one is now. I kept telling myself that it was to make sure you didn’t fall off the couch, but that wasn’t it. I can admit it.” Lucas says with a husky voice. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, opened my eyes and looked at Reed. “What about you?” Reed raised his hand cupping my neck then lightly glided his fingers across my jaw down my throat. “I’ve got a thing for breasts.” When did his voice get that breathy? He continued moving his hand down, tracing the top of my right breast. Oh, there are more of those shivers. Now he is going down into the dip of my cleavage, then back up my left breast. They are making it very difficult to focus. I close my eyes, take deep breaths, trying to get myself back under control. I should tell them to stop
Lucas POV As Heather closed the door behind her, I flopped back down on the couch letting out a long sigh. Reed walked back over and joined me. The two of us are sitting with our heads leaned back against the couch with our eyes closed. I hear Mom and Dad making their way over from near the desk to the chairs near where we are sitting. I picked my head up and opened my eyes. Mom is sitting with her legs crossed at the knees leaning her elbow on the arm of the chair with her chin resting on her hand, staring at us. Dad is leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and his fingers linked together, also staring at us. Mom was the first to speak. “Well, she walked out of here pretty calmly. Does that mean things went well?” “You heard her, before she left she wanted to think about it.” “That’s better than a flat out NO, isn’t it?” Dad says. “Yeah it is.” “Did she seem ok with the idea or did she seem more panicked by it, maybe in shock?” Mom asks. “Well, if we are to believe her e
Heather POV We had all finished our meal, which had been a very nice deep dish lasagna. We were getting ready to leave when Molly came running up to Levi. She tapped him on the shoulder. “Levi, I have a question for you?” Levi picked her up and placed her on the chair next to him. “What is it, Molly?” “Grandma said that I could go to the movies tonight.” Levi nodded his head. “hmm hmm.” She looks down as she plays with the hem of her shirt and very quietly asks, “Can I sit with you and your friends?” Levi quickly covers his shock at her question and turns to the rest of us. “What do you guys think?” Reed and Lucas lean forward and look down the table towards where Molly is sitting and answer before anyone else, in unison. “We would love to have you sit with us Molly.” Molly whips her head up looking at the twins with a smile that covers her whole face. “Ok. Thank you Alphas.” She jumped off the chair and gave Levi a hug. “I’ll see you there.” We gathered our plates, placed th
