I jerk up from sleep, leaving my hot dream behind. I was reliving last night's events. It had felt so good. I don’t mind still being in the dream. But something had woken me up abruptly.
I turn to my side to see Cassie and the brothers naked on the bed with me. Cassie is cuddled up between the Jackson brothers. A chord of bafflement strikes me in my chest.
I shared my bed with two men!
I have never shared my bed like this with anyone… not even previous lovers… much less with men.
I’m not sure how that makes me feel. So I try to keep my mind off it.
Cassie had tired us out after ten hours of marathon sex. She had been amazing, taking mine and Jeremiah's knot so well. There is still so much we have yet to do with her.
I reach out to Cassie and caress her cheeks. She moans at my touch and snuggles closer to the guys.
My perfect Omega!
The other two are snoring lightly. Cassie did a number on us. I should still be sleeping, as I did a majority of the work towards the end. But I am up.
Why is that?
I am still caressing Cassie’s cheek when Jeremiah stirs and opens his eyes suddenly. I freeze when his eyes catch mine. He stays still, just staring at me. Just when I think it can’t get any more awkward, Eric wakes up too.
The silence in the room is so deafening that it adds to the awkwardness. I take my hands off Cassie’s cheek and give them a tight smile. This is all new and different, but I am certain that after a while, we will get used to it.
Cassie whimpers and we look down on her.
She is so beautiful!
Cassie has brought us all together. If someone had told me I’d make a family unit with two other guys, I might have disagreed immediately.
But here we are.
Cassie is the core of this new relationship. We will protect and love her as much as she deserves and more.
“Um. Morning.” Eric grunts and sits up.
Jeremiah does the same and grunts a reply, “Yeah. Good morning. Something woke me.”
I open my mouth to speak but stop when I remember Jeremiah is right. Yes, something woke me, too.
It is then that catch a familiar scent. My blood boils with anger.
This is why I woke up!
I get up and rush to put on the pants I wore the previous day. Taking angry strides, I walk downstairs, heading for the door.
Jeremiah must also have perceived the unwelcome scent. He jumps out of bed and follows me downstairs.
What the fuck is she doing here?
I open the door, and with great speed, I yank Leila Kaye by the throat. She stumbles into the apartment against her will, and tries to push my hand off her.
“Why the fuck are you here?” I shout at her. “Did you come here to finish the job your mom started?”
“What the fuck are you talking about? Unhand me!” she screeches, bringing her hand up as though to hit me in the face.
I release my hold on her, and she jumps back, nursing her neck and clearing her throat. “What the hell is wrong with you?!”
“Leila,” Jeremiah says softly. “What are you doing here?”
