waiting for hot mouths.
Skylar. Xavier.
It
seemed weird that she felt so comfortable sandwiched between the two, and still
felt so distant. Her cougar, however,
didn't care what qualms she held about losing herself in the two it deemed her
mates.
A
groan cut through the otherwise silent bedroom and she smiled. Aspen slowly opened her eyes to a still dark
room, but it didn't matter. She could
see perfectly in the dark. She could see
how Skylar's muscles bunched each time she kneaded with her fingers, the restrained power behind the hand that held her so gently,
yet firmly.
"Aspen,
if you keep doing that with your ass then I'm going to fuck you."
Aspen
smiled at Xavier's growled warning and arched one more time. Her squeal was cut off with a moan when
Xavier pulled her leg over his and slid his erection through her dripping wet
folds bumping her clit. She felt Skylar
jerk and opened her eyes to see her nails digging into his chest.
"I'm sor -"
Her
words were cut off by Skylar's lips his tongue plundering her with an intensity
she remembered from their first night. His taste and touch were amplified by the hard body moving behind her. Xavier's erection rubbed enticingly over her
clit and already she could feel the stirrings of an orgasm beginning.
A
knock on the door pulled her from the moment, but Skylar's incessant forays
into her mouth soon let her forget the knock. But none of them could ignore the pounding.
"Aspen,
I'm sorry, but you're the only one left."
Aspen
pulled away from Skylar and sighed. It
probably wasn't a good idea anyways.
"I'm
sorry, but that's Essence. I've got to
get the door."
Aspen
dodged their hands and ignored their pleas to scramble off the end of the
bed. She pulled on her sleep shirt and
left the room and two horny wolves.
Aspen
shook her head. What had she been
thinking? She stopped in her room and
put on a pair of shorts before going to the door. Essence sighed when she opened the door and
Gunner yawned before leaning against Essence's legs.
"I'm
so sorry, Aspen, but Mrs. Dawson is sick and no one else is available to keep
Gunner. I've got clinical today and
Zackary has class. Could you keep
Gunner? It'll only be until after lunch
and Zackary can make it home."
"Sure, Essence."
Aspen
frowned when Essence backed up and pulled Gunner behind her. A low feline growl erupted from the
strawberry blonde female and her hazel eyes glowed in the still darkened light.
Aspen
turned and found Skylar and Xavier standing behind her. She turned back to Essence.
" It's okay, Essence. This is Skylar and Xavier. They're my..."
"We're
her mates," Skylar said and placed his hand on her shoulder.
Essence
took a deep breath and exhaled.
"I
don't know..."
"We'll
take good care of your son, ma'am. He
won't come to any harm."
Xavier
joined Skylar in placing a hand on her opposite shoulder. Essence stared for what seemed forever before
nodding. She knelt and turned Gunner to
face her.
"I
want you to be good for Aspen, okay."
Gunner
nodded and yawned.
Essence
led him into the house and laid him on the couch. He was sleeping before she turned to
leave. She hesitated at the door and
Aspen patted her on the shoulder.
"I
promise he'll be safe, Essence."
Essence
sighed and smiled though it didn't reach her eyes.
"Thanks
Aspen."
Essence
left and Aspen turned to find Xavier covering a sleeping Gunner with a
blanket. She placed a hand over her
abdomen and could see Xavier doing the same to her own son. Skylar hugged her from behind and she
stiffened.
"I'm
sorry, Aspen. I can't say it
enough."
Aspen
nodded and looked at the clock on the wall. 4:30 am. She frowned. Nursing school was brutal. Thank goodness she'd gone to culinary
school.
"Let
me get to cooking. If I know children,
he'll be up in an hour or so ready to eat and play."
Skylar
turned her in his arms and kissed her gently on
