Page 27 of When Embers Become Ashes

“WE?” she asks in a small unsure voice.

“Yes, baby WE, I’m yours, Ember, your teeth mark confirms that,” I smirk, she hadn’t realized what she did, but I’m not letting her regret it now,

“Now get the bed stripped, and in my shower before I bend you over fully sealing our bond by giving you my Alpha mark as you cum around my Knot while my cum continues to drip off those perfect tits of yours!” I chuckle

Wow, that got her moving. Once the bed is stripped, I drop the sheets in the shoot on the way to my room. I push her towards the bathroom, flicking on my shower, then heading into my closet to grab her a shirt, boxers, and socks in case she still gets cold feet at night, I also grab a clean pair of boxers for myself. I walk back into the bathroom, kicking my soiled boxers in the direction of the hamper. I step into the shower with Ember, still not quite believing she’s here, even with the taste of her cum and blood on my tongue, I take over washing her back without a word, making a note of the new scars and the 10 mate marks under her birthmark, they run down her spine finishing an inch above her panty line, I recognize some including my twins, but right now I focus on mine, kissing it, I then spin her around.

Ember is only 4ft9 with curves for days, all in the right places. However, there is tone to them, but she has always been... I don’t want to say chubby cause that feels wrong.

She has wide hips, thick thighs, and a trim waist, and her tits and arse are the perfect size for my hands, more than handfuls. Her hair is normally wild curls, but as it's wet, it just falls straight down past her ass. My baby is just perfect; she always has been.

I lift her, pressing her to the cool tile wall, I step into the cradle of her legs. My cock is rock solid again and is pointing up at my stomach, so as she wraps her legs around my waist, linking her ankles together over my ass, it pulls me closer, and my cock throbs from the heat of her core. I kiss from my mark up her neck, then take her mouth. She starts to grind against me, using her grip on my shoulders and her thighs over my hips, urging me to join, which I do willingly. Our combined moans start to fill the room. Soon our joint climax hits, with her gasping out my name and fisting my hair. I fucking love her hands in my hair. I lean in and give her a soft kiss on the lips.

“I love you,Ember.” I lock eyes with her, and I don’t let her look away.

“I’ve never stopped loving you, Ren,” she says with a smile, which becomes a smirk as I put her down to rinse off our joint release from our stomachs.

“Pine gives the best hugs, though,” she says, stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around those moreish curves. I twist and catch the bemused look I give her in the mirror as she wraps her hair in another towel, grabbing my hair brush and some of the hair elastics Jay leaves everywhere she steps out of the bathroom. Pine is bouncing around in my chest like a puppy. I wash my hair and then follow Ember back to the bedroom. Her hair is irritatingly braided again. I prefer it to be loose, but I know why she does this at night, especially now that I’ve seen its current length. I make a note to tell Miles not to cut too much off it. She’s curled up in bed, facing the window with the curtains still open. I slide in behind her, pulling her to my chest. We don’t say anything for a long time. Just before her breath evens out, she whispers,

“It's a blood moon tomorrow night, just like the first time we met.” Well fuck, sorry, Mika, but I’m marking your daughter fully tomorrow under that moon. I fall asleep planning how to tell Mika I’m about to defile his newly found baby girl.

CHAPTER NINE

Ember

I feel the bed move, and Trick’s scent starts to mingle with Rens, who seems to pull me closer into his chest. I doze off and on until the light in the room begins to change behind my eyelids. I wiggle a little, but neither of the hard bodies surrounding me moves. I mumble about needing to pee first in English, then in Japanese, and they both move. Well, I need to remember that one, I guess.

I pee and wash my face, my hair is falling loose from my braids, but I don’t want to make a noise while looking for the brush. I use Ren’s toothbrush and make a mental note to apologize. He shouldn’t complain after where he stuck his tongue last night. I shiver at the memory, dipping into his closet and grab a hoodie and some 'cropped' sweats. Well, they would be cropped to Ren. I pad across the room to the double doors that head to a balcony. I notice some sketchpads and pencils on his desk and swipe them, which is odd as he doesn’t draw.

I head outside. The balcony has three other doors leading to it. One looks like it goes straight onto the hall outside Ren’s room, and the other two go to bedrooms. I move over to the rail, leaving the door cracked so I can hear when they start to move. There is a table with four chairs around it, and some more chairs are dotted around. There is also a patio corner sofa with a coffee table and two matching chairs, but near the railing are four loungers. One of which I pad over to and sit with my pad on my lap. The balcony looks out over the back of the property towards the lake. We are more to the right than what I could see through the windows last night, and the Chalet looks more L-shaped from this angle, and another balcony serves as the corner pivot.

I'm going to have to explain the Dex/Levi thing to some people, so I start to draw the memories I have of them, starting with the first, one I remember.

We were 3 years old. I had been locked in the closet in the laundry room as visitors were looking for a child to adopt. I fell asleep, and Dex & Levi turned up to play! I drew the heather-filled clearing, me into dungarees that were too big, and the two wolf pups that kept falling over their feet.

By the time I had done some more sketches, including one where Dex is jumping off the dock, I can see from here,

I’m not sure how long I’ve been sat here, but I've half-filled the book, Rens scent starts to fill my senses, and he’s fully dressed.

Ren

I wake up, and I can feel a body next to me, but it’s not soft against me like my mates should be. Cracking an eye open, my brother rips out a fart, followed by a giggle then he starts to snore again. Fucks sake, when did he come in? I open my eyes fully to find out where Ember is, the sneaky fuck probably snuck between us to steal all the snuggles, but she’s not in bed. Jay starts to hug a pillow, burying his nose in it as I sit up and look around the room. Pine isn’t worried, so I shouldn’t be. Where is... then I notice the balcony door is open, and I spot the silhouette of her sitting on the lounger. I grab my phone and head to the bathroom, sitting down on the toilet. While morning business is conducted, I fire off a text to our resident tech genius, then change my relationship status on social media fromit’s complicatedtoin a relationship.

I would put engaged, as we are basically engaged now. We share each other’s marks, but I want Mama Lou’s ring on her finger first. I’ve never been single, as I knew one day Ember would come home.

ME: Can you set up a new phone for Ember? Transfer the stuff from the dinosaur she sent Jay, but don’t wipe it in case!

DARBY: I did that ages ago. Nic wants her to have a full kit, school laptop, etc.

DARBY: Any ideas? Jay just told me no pink *wide eye emoji *

ME: Yeah, no pink, she's likely to beat you with it. Think similar to Jace or Devin, she’s a smart ass and likes to write stories

ME: I don’t think she needs for school, though. Something Jay mentioned led me to believe she was at college – definitely no pink or girly, but she does have a fascination with the moon

DARBY: On it *thumbs up emoji *

I finish my daily meeting with the toilet, wash my face, and brush my teeth, which from the taste Em must have used my brush as I get a lingering taste of her. Everything of her tastes sweet, but the sweetest part is her pussy, FUCK! She tasted amazing. I could feast down there for days. Mmmmm, focus, Ren. If you go down that route, it will be cold shower time. I finish washing up and head to my closet.
