He carried herup the stairs and said, “The boys will be delighted to have youhome.”

“Will they?They were upset when I left.”

“They talkabout you every few days. Usually, when I am making dinner.” Hechuckled.

“Oh, yeah, Ican see that.” She leaned against his shoulder.

He got to thehall outside the blue room and turned into his bedroom instead.

“Wrong turn,boss.” She yawned.

“We are goingto take a group nap to solidify our connection.”

“They don’tseem like nappers. Ymer definitely isn’t.”

There was achuckle behind them, and she recognized the sound. “He is laughingquite a bit though.”

Brexel smiled.“Endorphins. You gave us quite a rush.”

He set her onthe bed and removed his belt, socks, and shirt. Brexel settled onthe bed and pulled her over to drape her across him. She was stilljust wearing his shirt. She heard rustling, but Brexel kissed herlightly and distracted her. There were heavy thuds to either sideof them, and they formed a dark elf triangle with her in themiddle.

Ymer’s handslid from her knee to the juncture of her thighs under the tee, andshe squeaked. Oren slid her braid through his fingers andunravelled it, spreading her hair out in a cape.

She lifted herhead from Brexel’s and asked him, “Where are the puppies?”

He chuckled.“Outside the door.”

Iris exhaledand arched as Ymer slid two fingers inside. His hands wereincredibly warm, and he used his digits to do a slowexploration.

She shudderedand turned to look at him. “Nap, my ass.”

He chuckled.“Perhaps another night. Today, I am going to continue my veryfascinating examination.”

Oren had hisface buried in her hair and started nuzzling her neck andshoulders.

Iris lookeddown at Brexel. “You are on board with all of this?”

“We alltriggered to you, and you triggered to me, so compatibility is afeature.”

She sighed. “Iam going to have to work my last two weeks at the club.”

Ymer paused.“No, you won’t.”

“Yes, I will. Ihave to say goodbye to a few regulars, don’t I?”

Ymer growled.“Absolutely not.”

She craned herneck to look at him. “Why not?”

“Because themore we are at you, the stronger your pheromones will get until wehave sex. Considering the boys, we need to make sure logistics aretaken into account.”

Iris blinked.“Logistics?”

Brexel sighed.“First mating will take a lot of energy and possibly make a lot ofnoise. I will need to call in a sitter, and we will have to gosomewhere else for the night.”

Oren chuckled.“And day.”

Ymer shrugged.“And probably the following night and day.”
