I gasped when I felt lips graze along my breast, a tongue swirling over my nipple. It couldn’t be Piper, who was still pressed firmly up along my back, hands now roving down along my hips. I opened my eyes and could just make out the top of Austin’s head poking out from over the covers before it ducked back under, capturing my other breast in his mouth.

“You- you seem to be feeling better this morning,” I told Piper, my breath hitching as Austin teased my nipple until it grew hard under his tongue. I felt Piper’s breath against my ear as he laughed, his hand slipping deftly under my panties to grazeagainst my sex. Warmth surged to meet his fingers, spurred on by Austin’s mouth.

“I was telling Austin how good you tasted,” he murmured, his fingers running down along my slit. “I told him he had to try you for himself.” Austin looked up at the sound of his name, smiling at me, his eyes hungry as his pupils dilated. Piper pulled his fingers out of my sweats and held them out to Austin, who licked them off like it was a completely ordinary thing for them to do. The look he gave me was purely predatory, and I shivered as Piper reached down to tug my sweats and panties down my thighs. He pulled my shoulder towards him until I was on my back on the bed.Austin settled between my legs with a grin, and I moaned when his mouth descended on my pussy, his tongue swirling around my clit. Piper kissed me just as enthusiastically, his tongue parting my lips and entering me just as Austin did the same. One of my hands tangled in Austin’s hair, my hips bucking as he fucked me with his tongue. My other hand wrapped around Piper, who finished ravishing my mouth and moved to my breasts, teasing and sucking as Austin did the same to my clit.Pressure was building in my core, and I clenched my thighs, trapping Austin between them. This just spurred him on, and his tongue dipped into me again, drawing out a whimper from my throat. I cried out as I came, and still they didn’t let up. Austin was sucking my swollen clit mercilessly as I came again not minutes later, soaking the bed with my arousal.

Piper reached for something beside his bed and tossed it to Austin. I watched as he slipped off his pants, exposing his hard cock, which also was pierced, just like the rest of him. He slipped the condom on and climbed back between my legs before hesitating and shooting me a quick look. “Yes,” I told him immediately, and he pounced, closing the space between us in a heartbeat. I felt him tease my entrance for only a moment beforehe sank into me, and I arched, my pussy clamping around him.Austin started to thrust, his cock slick with my desire, and I whimpered as he slammed against my G-spot, sending sparks of pleasure down my spine. Piper was still crouched by my side, enjoying the show. He’d stripped off his pants at some point, and his cock was leaking pre-cum. He was stroking himself, eyes hungry as he watched Austin thrust into me. It was hot to think that he could get off just by watching us, but I had an even better idea.

I caught his eye and beckoned him over. He moved towards me, shifting on the bed until he was close to my face. I opened my mouth invitingly, and he gave me a wicked grin as he slid his cock over my tongue, my hand wrapping around his shaft as my tongue swirled around the tip. He let out a groan and pulled out slowly before plunging back in at the same time as Austin. I tipped back my head and let him fuck my mouth while Austin picked up his pace. They worked in tandem, hands moving along my breasts and teasing my clit until I thought I might burst with pleasure.

I moaned around Piper’s cock when I came, my pussy clenching around Austin, and he followed a moment later with a moan of his own. Piper grunted, and I felt him coat the back of my throat. Once spent, Piper fell back down beside me, panting, and Austin crawled up along my other side, resting his head next to mine. His eyes were half closed, and he tucked my hair behind my ear before nuzzling against my neck. Piper kissed my forehead and curled up beside me, pulling the blankets up to cover us.

“Little spider,” he murmured, his nickname for me making me smile. He felt clearer now, like the time he’d spent next to me had helped bring him back from wherever his mind drifts during his episodes. We dozed off together in our pile of tangled limbs, warm and satiated and safe together.

Chapter 21

Cain

Ineeded this to be another one of Piper’s damn benders. He just... couldn’t be right about this. Wyatt helped clean up the kitchen after Addy and the boys left, and as far as we could tell, it was just water covering our floor. That really didn’t make any sense, because we didn’t have a fucking bathtub that Piper could’ve half-drowned himself in. I don’t even think we had a bucket in this place big enough for someone to stick their head inside. I’d seen this sort of thing happen to him before, a couple of times in the past. We’d found snakes in the house every day for a week before Austin had shown up on our doorstep. I remember staying up all night and watching in horror as a snake slithered out of Piper’s mouth while he was lying semi-conscious in bed, his eyes glazed over. Years later, I’d found him in a similar position on the kitchen floor, covered in blood. There was a puddle of it underneath him, but try as I might, I couldn’t find a single wound on his body. I took him to the ER that night, and while they pumped him full of fluids, I’d stumbled upon Wyatt in the next bed over, half dead, with bandages covering his arms.

He’s going to take our little spider and hold her under until she stops kicking, just like you.

Wyatt was right. I couldn’t ignore this one. He knew about my brother Jake, but not by choice. I’d been having one of my... whatever the fuck they are, he calls them episodes, but I thinkthey’re migraines, and he’d done his twisted little move with his eyes and taken me away from my body before I could burn the house down. He got pummelled by my memories. I was already so mad and in so much pain they just exploded, sucking him into the worst parts of my childhood. Wyatt took enough of the pain into himself so I could finally calm down, but when he set me back in my body, I could see on his face the toll it took on him. We both slept for a couple of days after that incident and while Wyatt had never asked me about what he saw, he knew enough to understand that my brother could never discover us here.

Wyatt had gone to bed sometime early in the morning, but I stayed rooted at the table, unable to close my eyes. I heard some interesting sounds float down from Piper’s room, so it appeared that he was feeling somewhat better, at least. Wyatt wandered down, looking exhausted, and started fucking with the coffeemaker as Addy made a sound that had both of us tensing. Wyatt recovered first, grabbing a mug and setting it down on the counter before coming to join me at the table. He gave me a knowing smirk, and I just rolled my eyes. Austin and Piper had really just accepted our new situation with Addy like it was a normal occurrence. Neither of them seemed to worry at all that this could just be a fleeting moment that would hurt them more after it was over. They lived for the present, while the rest of us were stuck brooding in the past.

He wants your toys, Cain. You know he doesn’t like it when you have toys.

I clenched my fists, and Wyatt handed me a cup of coffee when the machine dinged. We sat in silence for a while, true silence since it seemed like the merry trio had finished up for now.

“Could he really have found you?” Wyatt finally asked, looking over at me. I grimaced, staring down into my cup like it would hold the answers for me. I’d been more than careful.Moving across the country, I’d opened a new bank account, and stayed off the internet. Our business didn’t feature my name anywhere except the building and the license, which wasn’t easy information to access. But he had his ways. I knew that. I had just thought, or really I’d hoped...

“I thought he might be dead,” I told Wyatt, grimacing. “It’s been over a decade and nothing. So I thought maybe...” I sighed, watching the steam from my coffee shift under my breath. “If he’s found me, I need to leave.” Wyatt’s face was grim, and I pulled out a cigarette, preferring the smoke to the caffeine for the moment. I’d really hoped that he was dead...

I should’ve been more prepared for this, but I’d grown soft and complacent. Happy? Not quite, but close. Close enough that it would hurt more to uproot and leave this time. And now I had additional worries, like what would they do without me? Wyatt might be okay for a while, but what if he got into one of his dark moods again? Sometimes the pain and the sadness overwhelmed him, and there wasn’t anyone to take his pain away like he did with us. Who will make sure Austin goes outside and keeps talking to people? He’ll slip back into the near-feral state he’d been in when he found us, eating mice and sleeping huddled in a ball under the bed. He would hardly talk when he first arrived, just hiss. I got him to talk again, and we found him a job he could do to make money for himself, to be human. Piper needed someone to watch out for him. It’s why he’d found me in the first place. He forgot to eat, to breathe, and sometimes whatever he saw in his head was too fucked up and he’d take too much of something to try to drown it out. Who would watch for that? Addy could help. She seemed to bring everyone down to earth with her witchy ways. But who would care for her while she cared for everyone else? I made sure she ate, and that she got time to be herself, time alone. If I was gone, would she stopleaving the house too, worrying about the others too much to worry about her own needs?

I couldn’t leave them, but I couldn’t stay, because I was putting them in more danger if I stayed. Fuck! My coffee hissed as it began to boil in my hand, threatening to bubble over just like my rage. The buzzing in my temples jumped an octave, vibrating my teeth and making my eyes sting. Sometimes it got so bad I thought my skull might just burst, splattering the house with brains and the bees that must be trapped inside.

The buzzing abruptly dissipated, and I heard footsteps on the stairs. Addy appeared on the landing, dressed in one of Piper’s tee-shirts, her hair mussed and feet bare. “Good morning.” she smiled. “I smelled coffee. Is there any left?”

Wyatt jumped up and grabbed another mug for her, and she came around to sit beside me at the table. He handed her the coffee and stole a quick kiss, grinning as he sat back down. I didn’t understand how Addy worked. She said it was her skin that made people crazy, but it felt more like she was sunshine bottled into a human form. Somehow just by coming into the room, Wyatt seemed happier, and the buzzing in my temples was nothing more than a quiet hum. Even the weight in my chest seemed to have lifted. I don’t even think she was aware of what she did. Maybe she had really wanted some coffee, but somehow she’d picked the moment she most needed to arrive, and then she’d sat beside me. She rarely did that, not when Wyatt was around, who was much more friendly. Her bare legs were nearly touching mine under the table, painfully close.

I tried to give Addy her space as best I could. Everyone else in this damn house grabbed at her and felt her up any chance they could get. Addy didn’t seem to mind at all. In fact, she seemed to glow whenever someone touched her, but I figured she might like the space once in a while, so I didn’t bother her as the othersdid. Someone always had to be the responsible adult in this house, and it always ended up being me.

“Should we be worried?” Addy asked me, her fingers wrapped around the mug like she was cold. I shifted over just a little and threw off a bit more heat. Maybe she just wanted to sit near me because I was so warm. Sometimes Austin did that, especially in the winter. That seemed to do the trick. Her body relaxing a little more beside me.

“About Piper?” Wyatt asked her, shooting me a look. He wouldn’t go and talk about my business. I knew that telling her was up for me to handle.

“Yeah, it felt pretty real, the warning, I mean. Should we do something about it?” Addy nodded, looking between Wyatt and me.

“Just don’t do anything stupid for the next little while,” I said, and she gave me a dirty look. I glared back at her, needing her to take this seriously. “I mean it, don’t be running around and hanging out with strangers by yourself.” She rolled her eyes.

“I don’t do much of that as it is,” she replied cooly, sitting up straight. See, why did she have to take everything I said and put an annoying spin on it? No wonder we were always snapping at each other. She had her nose out of joint every time I opened my mouth.

“Maybe one of us can go with you for groceries for a while, so nobody is out by themselves,” wyatt suggested, and Addy seemed to soften a bit.

“Okay, I guess so. But I’m still going to the lab,” Addy replied. “I normally just walk there and back when the weather’s nice.” Fuck, of course, she had work.

“I’ll drive you.” I offered, regretting the offer as soon as the words left my mouth. She looked at me like I’d proposed marriage or something as ridiculous.
