All Chapters of Midnight On The Bayou: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Following breakfast, the mood subtly changed as Knox and Ky readied for patrol duty. Their exit was swift, leaving behind a definite sense of expectancy. The instant the door latched behind them, Kael and I were left alone in the guest living room.Almost instantly, we were irresistibly pulled together, our earlier restraint evaporating. Our kisses transformed into a torrent of suppressed desire and yearning, each one more passionate than the previous. We playfully rolled among the blanket nest, a jumble of entwined limbs and moans.Kael lifted me effortlessly. There was a determination in his stride as he carried me to his bed.Kael and I tumbled onto the bed together, a torrent of kisses marking our descent. It was a dance we knew well, always leading to him guiding me to take the lead, positioning me on top of him. Even as our kisses continued, a curiosity tugged at me, prompting me to pause and look down at him. "Why do you prefer me on top? Really? And remember, I'll feel it if

Ky excused himself, saying he'd be right back. True to his word, he returned shortly, lugging a large monitor and a desktop PC. "Here, I'll set this up for you. I don't use it," he announced, beginning to set up the PC on the desk.Meanwhile, Cassy and I began browsing curtains and other decorations on her phone. I felt a bit overwhelmed. "I don't know, you just pick something, Cassy. I've never got to pick stuff like this; I don't know what's best," I admitted, my lack of experience in such matters making me hesitant.Cassy looked at me, her smile encouraging. "This is for you, Sky. What do you like? That's all that matters. If you see something you like, that's what we'll get," she assured me. I felt grateful for her support, emphasizing that my preferences were paramount in this decision.As we continued to scroll, I saw a set of perfect dark navy blue satin curtains. "Oh, I like that," I said, pointing them out.Cassy considered my choice. "Hmm, they are darker... OH, do you want

Ky glanced at me, unease immediately clouding his eyes. Without hesitation, I affirmed, "Yes, Kael, we did. What's troubling you?" Kael sighed heavily. "You don't need to make this any harder on me, you know." Apologies tumbled out of me. "I'm sorry, I... lingered too much on his mark. I'll be more mindful." Ky, his frustration evident, countered, "You know, I sensed it too while on patrol. You two were here doing the same things, and I kept cool. Pull yourself together, Kael." With that, Ky exited, the door's slam echoing his departure.Sitting beside Kael, I tried to reassure, "He's got a point." Kael's response was a desperate growl. "I know... It's just that... those sensations, given my dislike for them, spark fear of a seizure. That's why I stayed here once Knox left. At least if something happened, you'd eventually find me." I settled next to Kael, wrapping my arms around him. "I'm sorry, I didn't think about that." "It's different when I'm there and know what to expect.

Walking back to the master suite, I found the triplets consumed in their own storms. Kael was pacing, regret lacing his steps as he regretted his hastiness in front of the others. "I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that," he muttered, his frustration at himself evident in every stride. Ky, equally troubled, voiced his concern over the lack of vigilance within our ranks. "Someone should have noticed Cassy taking the truck," he said, echoing the sentiment that our collective attention might have faltered. Knox was lost in thought, his eyes fixed on the ground, a silent storm brewing in his mind. Their fears spiraled into a vortex of dreadful scenarios, each painting a darker picture than the last. Knox finally broke the cycle, his voice carrying the consequence of a harsh resolution. "It all comes back to Burk Foster. He's still out there, and he could have taken her or worse." The mention of that name sent a chill down my spine, reviving old fears and unresolved tensions. I

Waking up in the middle of the night to find the bed more crowded than I remembered was becoming a familiar, yet still amusing, situation. I couldn't tell which of the triplets had joined us in the dim light, but the warmth of another body curled up beside me made me chuckle silently. The thought that I might never share a bed with just one of them for any significant amount of time crossed my mind. Their need for proximity, despite their protests, was evident in the tangle of blankets and pillows that had become our nest. It highlighted their instinctual pull towards each other for comfort.Slipping out of bed, I wandered down the hall searching for the missing triplet and found Kael in the office. He was lost in the glow of the computer screen displaying security footage. He seemed half-there, mindlessly scrolling through the videos."So, we're back to not sleeping much again, I see," I remarked, leaning against the doorframe.Kael's attention snapped back to the present as he rubbe
