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
Heather POV “So, Molly, what is your favourite Disney movie?” Levi asks her. It had already been decided that we were going to let Molly pick the kids’ movie. Molly leans over and whispers her answer to Levi. “Ok you wait here with everyone while I go get it ready.” Levi gets up and heads to the back room to load the movie. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the Groomed Hunters had taken the seats behind us. I hear April ask Molly if she wants to go to the washroom with her before the movie starts and Molly tells her no because she went with her Grandma before they came in. April walks away, heading for the bathroom, leaving Molly sitting at the end by herself, which should be fine, right? So why does something feel off? I see the Alphas walk in followed by the Betas and Gammas; I give them all a wave. I got a link from Mona. “Things are ok. They are not being pushy are they? I start to answer when I hear crying. We all turned to see Molly getting off the couch and rubbing
Heather POV The next morning, I woke to the sun beaming in through the patio doors again. I must have fallen asleep because I don’t remember the end of the movie and I don’t remember going to bed. One of them must have carried me to bed again. I get dressed for training in a similar outfit as the day before. As I reach the top of the stairs, I’m greeted with”Good morning Heather.” Both Reed and Lucas are standing at the bottom with big goofy grins on their faces. I stopped at the top step. “Good Morning.” I replied. I made my way down the rest of the steps. The boys part so I can pass. I made my way over to the table, the boys following. Reed pulls my chair out for me and Lucas pours me some orange juice. “We helped Dad cook this morning. We have already eaten and cleaned up the pans that were used to cook.” Says Reed. “All you and Mom need to do is enjoy your breakfast and put the remaining dishes in the dishwasher. Enjoy. We will see you at training.” Lucas adds. They both lean in
Reed POV Lucas, Quinn and I are standing on the grass in front of Meg’s normal parking spot. We watch as Meg pulls up and parks. They don’t get out of the car right away. “Why aren’t they getting out?” Quinn links us. “I don’t know, man.” I sent back. Quinn points at Meg and tells her to get out of the car. He walked over to the driver’s door. Meg slowly steps out of the car and before Meg can close the door, Quinn has her pulled in for a kiss. He breaks the kiss, leans his forehead against Meg’s and whispers something to her. He pulls her in for another kiss. From behind the car we heard a growl. We all turned to see Avery. Boy is she pissed. Quinn pulls back from the kiss, turns his back to Avery and puts an arm around Meg’s shoulders. “Is there anything else you need from your car?” He asks her. Meg shakes her head no. Quinn reached over and swung the driver’s door closed. “April, please make sure it’s locked after you get out.” Quinn asked. “No problem Bro. Talk to you later.”
