up in the inferno he created.
His
mouth closed over her nipple and she cried out. His mouth was pure sin as he flicked his tongue over her nipple, scraped
his teeth gently across the bud, and sucked it deeply into his mouth.
Torture at its finest.
Xavier
switched breasts, his attention to this one no less pleasurable.
"Open
your eyes, Aspen."
Aspen
opened her eyes and Skylar was there, kneeling at her head, his cock jutting
from his body. She licked her lips
wanting to taste her mate again.
He's
not my mate. If he were he wouldn't have
left.
Xavier
lifted himself to sit on the opposite side of her, his hand caressing her
belly. Skylar's hand brushed the
distended abdomen.
"It
doesn't matter whose baby this is, Aspen. It's ours and we'll all take care of it together."
Aspen
slapped their hands away, her anger igniting at Skylar's words. She scrambled from the bed and stood at the
foot of the bed with her hands on her hips.
"You son-of-a-bitch. How dare you think this baby is anybody's but
yours?"
"Aspen-"
"Don't
you Aspen me, Skylar. You would know
it's your baby if you hadn't left! Left me like...like you didn't even want me."
Aspen
bit her tongue, hard, the taste of blood and the bite of pain not enough to
stop the sob that tore from her throat. Months of anguish, longing, and loneliness crashed over her and not for
the first time she couldn't hold the emotions at bay.
Skylar
stared at her, his face a mask of horror, only making her cry harder. Xavier acted first pulling her into his
embrace and cradling her like a child. He rubbed soothing circles over her belly and rocked her gently back and
forth, words pouring from his mouth that she couldn't comprehend between her
tears, but they soothed her all the same.
The
steady beat of his heart coupled with his nonsensical words soon lulled her and
she welcomed the sleep that beckoned to her.

Xavier
breathed a sigh of relief when Aspen's tears stopped and her eyes closed in
restful slumber. It was tearing him and
his wolf apart knowing that his mates suffered and he wasn't sure what to do
about it. The fight with Sky he'd had
earlier only made him feel worse. He
stood up still cradling Aspen in his arms and looked at Sky's defeated form
sitting on the foot of the bed. His
shoulders, always proud slumped as though in defeat as he cradled his head
between his hands.
"We've
really done a number on each other, haven't we?"
Skylar
looked up his green eyes glowing in the muted light of the bedroom.
"I
was confused...I never-"
"I
know, Sky, but she doesn't. She's hurt and
it's going to take a lot of begging to make up for what happened. Let's start by going to bed, and thinking of
ways to make sure that she knows we're in this for the long haul. You're going to be a father, Sky. It's time to start making amends now, so that
you can be the father this baby deserves."
"We."
"We what?"
Skylar
stood up and placed a small kiss on Aspen's temple, then took Xavier's lips in
a hot kiss.
" We are going to be fathers. She's your mate too and this baby will be
just as much yours."
Xavier
smiled. "Thank you."
Xavier
placed Aspen in the middle of the bed, crawled in beside her and gathered her
in his arms. Her head lay over his
heart, a part of him she already owned though she didn't know it. Skylar stood rooted at the foot of the bed
staring at them.
"Get
in the bed, Sky."
"Maybe
I shouldn't. She wasn't exactly happy
with me."
"Don't
be ridiculous. How she supposed to trust
that you won't leave her again if she wakes up and you're not there?"
"I
don-"
"Please,
don't go," Aspen said.
Her
voice startled them both, but Skylar nodded and climbed in on her other
side. He didn't hesitate to spoon her
from behind and to rest his hand on her stomach.
"I'll
never leave you, sweetheart," Sky whispered into Aspen's ear.
Xavier
kissed the top of Aspen's head.
