Page 79 of Cam's Treasure

There were a lot of them, and I got the feeling I might need to take notes if I had any hopes of remembering who was who.

Still, it was nice to hear about all the people in their—our?—clan, and I could tell how close they all were. I wondered what it was like to be a part of a tight-knit community.

I'd been a drifter for most of my life, never quite fitting in with the other selkies. My parents had been good to me until I was grown, but they weren't like Cam and Micah's parents. There hadn't been a strong emotional bond between us, and once I was 'ready for the world,' they'd let me go, telling me I was now responsible for my own destiny. It'd sounded nice then, like freedom, but it hadn't taken me long to realize what it truly meant: I was alone.

The ground rumbled softly as Cam landed, Ember following close behind, and I smiled at them as butterflies fluttered in my belly.

Micah reached over and squeezed my hand, his eyes also on our mates, and I sighed. Well, I wasn't alone anymore. Maybe I'd finally found my destiny.

Thirty-Two

Ember

"Come here," I grumbled, pulling Micah closer on the bed, and he chuckled as he complied.

Don't start without me!Cam exclaimed in my head, making me grin.

We wouldn't dare, Micah told him, then leaned up on his elbow to press his lips to mine.

I can hear you kissing, Cam growled, and I heard him clattering around the bathroom, his movements rushed.

Well, then you should hurry up, shouldn't you?Micah teased, and I couldn't help snickering at the growl of frustration that came from the bathroom.

Why are you teasing him, princess?I asked as I slid my tongue over his lower lip, cupping his waist so I could pull him closer.

Micah's breath hitched, and I wondered if it was because I'd called him princess. The pet name suited him well, and it'd felt like the right moment to call him that. But maybe he only liked it when Cam did?

Micah slid closer, and I groaned when I felt his hard cock press against my abdomen.

After our wonderful date, we'd come back home and cuddled on the couch for a while, all four of us. Then I'd made everyone dinner, and after watching some TV, we'd turned in, Cam, Micah, and I in the master bedroom, and Kai in the guest room just beside ours. We'd told him he could join us whenever he was ready, but I knew it would take a while. He'd been here for less than a week, and the trust he'd shown in us so far was already a lot more than I could've hoped for.

Cam had asked him if he wanted us to refrain from being intimate without him, but he'd waved it off, saying he didn't mind at all. He'd offered to let Micah read his mind when Cam had kept asking, which had assured everyone that he meant it.

So now Micah and I were making out as we waited on Cam to get done freshening up.

After the first time Cam and I had sex with Micah watching, we'd been intimate a few more times. We'd shared handjobs, and there had been the night before we found Kai, when I'd been inside Cam while Micah was inside me. Just thinking about that night had me leaking in my pants, and Micah moaned, probably seeing the images in my head.

"Is that what you want, Ember? You want me to fuck you again?" Micah's voice was a rough rasp against my lips, and I groaned as pleasure raced down my spine, making my cock leak in my boxers.

While I was vers, Micah was very much a top, while Cam was also vers, though he seemed to prefer to bottom more often than not. I wondered what Kai liked, and how well he'd fit in ourdynamic. I had no doubts he would fit—he belonged with us—but I couldn't help imagining him here with us instead of one door over.

"I'm here, I'm here," Cam mumbled as he joined us on the bed, dressed in just a loose pair of sweatpants. He threw himself on Micah's other side, and Micah pulled away from me to claim his lips in a searing kiss.

I watched the two of them, turning on my side as I trailed my palm over Micah's torso, sliding my fingers under his shirt so I could touch his warm, smooth skin and toy with the ring looped through his belly button.

I want Kai here with us, Cam said through the link, and I sighed.

"Me too," I agreed, glancing at him as his green eyes peered at me. "But we have to give him time to be ready. This isn't something we can be impatient about."

I know, he said, even his mental voice coming across as grouchy.Doesn't mean I like it. He's our mate. He belongs here with us. In our bed.

I agreed with Cam wholeheartedly, but we couldn't force Kai. We had to wait for him to be ready. He'd been through a lot in a matter of days, and he needed time. It didn't help that he couldn't sense our bond the way we could.

"This doesn't feel right, does it?" Micah asked when Cam pulled away from his lips, and Cam sighed as I nodded.

"Yeah. It wasn’t like this when we didn't know Kai, but now that he's here..." Cam trailed off, but we both understood what he was trying to say.

Before we'd discovered Kai, our final mate had merely been an idea, and it hadn't bothered us when we'd been intimate together. It was the same when they hadn't met me, and while they'd asked me about it, I didn't begrudge them their relationship. They'd been together for years, and I would'venever expected them to stay celibate for me. Just like Kai didn't expect us to be now.
