“This tub is practically Olympic-sized,” Finn said, gesturing at the expanse of water with exaggerated movements. “We could literally be in different zip codes right now. I could be over there doing the backstroke while you contemplate life on the other side.”

“And yet, this is exactly where I want you,” Cade replied, his arms encircling Finn’s waist, holding him in place. “Right here.”

Finn huffed in mock indignation but allowed himself to relax back against Cade’s chest, his head resting on Cade’s shoulder. The warm water lapped around them, soothing muscles that had been thoroughly used the night before.

For a few minutes, they simply existed together in comfortable silence, Cade’s hands occasionally stroking Finn’s arms or chest in gentle caresses that weren’t meant to arouse so much as reconnect. Through their strengthened bond, he could feel Finn’s contentment, his lingering uncertainty, and beneath it all, a cautious hope that he was clearly trying to suppress.

“I’ve missed this,” Cade murmured, pressing a kiss to Finn’s temple. “Missed you.”

“You didn’t even have this before,” Finn pointed out, his eyes closed as he spoke. “We never got this far.”

“No,” Cade agreed, his hands sliding up to trace gentle circles around Finn’s nipples, feeling them harden under his touch. “But I imagined it. Every day for four years.”

Finn’s breath caught as Cade’s fingers teased the sensitive buds. “Is this supposed to be a bath or a seduction?”

“Both,” Cade replied, turning Finn’s face toward his with gentle pressure on his jaw. “Definitely both.”

Cade claimed Finn’s mouth in a hungry kiss, tongue delving deep to taste the sweetness he’d been denied for too long. Finn groaned softly against his lips, his body responding with an eagerness that belied his verbal protests. The kiss deepened, became more demanding, Cade’s teeth nipping at Finn’s lower lip before his tongue soothed the sting.

When they finally broke apart, both breathing harder, Finn’s eyes had darkened with desire. “We just did this last night,” he pointed out, though the breathless quality of his voice undermined any real objection.

“And we’ll do it again,” Cade promised, his voice dropping to a growl that resonated from his chest. “Again and again. We’ve got four years to make up for, little fox. We’re nowhere near done with you.”

His hands continued their exploration, one sliding down to wrap around Finn’s hardening length beneath the water. “We’ll never get enough of you. Of this. Of us.” He pressed another kiss to Finn’s temple, gentler this time. “I love you, Finn. We all do. So much.”

Finn whimpered, the sound caught somewhere between pleasure and vulnerability. “That’s not fair,” he whispered, turning to capture Cade’s mouth in another kiss, as if trying to hide his reaction to the words.

With a smooth movement, Cade turned Finn in his arms until their mate straddled his lap, their cocks pressing together beneath the water. Finn’s arms wound around Cade’s neck, hisbody arching into the contact with a hunger that matched Cade’s own.

“If we’re going to do this,” Finn murmured against his lips, pulling back just enough to fix Cade with a look that was equal parts desire and exasperation, “let’s just make it a full supernatural marathon. Call in the reinforcements.” He glanced toward the door. “Might as well have the whole alpha collection present for this particular bad decision.”

His expression shifted to something more serious, though the heat in his eyes remained. “And after you three have thoroughly reminded me why wolves are territorial menaces, you’re going to tell me everything you promised—about my parents, about whatever boogeyman is apparently hunting me, about why I occasionally sprout fur accessories. The complete supernatural encyclopedia, no chapters redacted.”

Cade couldn’t help but smile at the perfect blend of demand and desire in Finn’s voice. Their mate had always needed to understand everything, to have all the pieces of any puzzle. It was infuriating and endearing in equal measure.

“Fair enough,” he agreed, stealing another quick kiss before reaching through their pack bond.Our little fox is requesting the full alpha experience.

The response was immediate—a wave of hunger and anticipation flooding their connection. Barely thirty seconds later, the bathroom door swung open to reveal Logan and Keir in all their naked glory, not a trace of sleep or hesitation in their eager expressions.

“I heard there was a fox in need of convincing?” Keir asked, his eyes darkening as he took in the sight of Finn straddling Cade in the massive tub.

“More like a fox who’s decided to embrace his terrible life choices,” Finn replied, but his snarky tone couldn’t hide the way his pulse jumped or the scent of arousal that spiked in thesteamy air as he extended his hand toward them. “Well? Are you joining this poor decision or just providing commentary?”

Logan and Keir slipped into the water on either side of them, the tub easily accommodating all four men. Logan immediately pulled Finn from Cade’s lap into his own, claiming his mouth in a passionate kiss that had Finn moaning against his lips. Keir moved behind Finn, pressing kisses along his shoulders and back, his hands roaming over their mate’s body with possessive hunger.

Cade watched them, satisfaction and desire mingling in his veins as his brothers worshipped their mate. This was how it should be—all of them together, connected, whole.

When Logan finally released Finn’s mouth, Finn leaned back against Keir’s chest, turning his head to capture the youngest brother’s lips in a deep, exploring kiss. Logan took advantage of the new position to trail hot kisses down Finn’s neck and chest, his mouth finding one of Finn’s nipples and teasing it with teeth and tongue.

Finn gasped into Keir’s mouth, his body arching into Logan’s attentions, caught between the two brothers in a way that made Cade’s cock throb with renewed hunger. The sight of their mate surrendering so completely to their touch, to their love, was intoxicating.

When they finally broke apart, all breathing hard, Keir moved to lift Finn from the water, setting him on the edge of the tub. With gentle pressure, he spread Finn’s legs, positioning himself between them as he looked up at their mate with hunger in his eyes.

“Let me taste you,” Keir murmured, his hands sliding up Finn’s thighs with possessive intent.

Finn’s breath caught, his cock hardening further under Keir’s gaze. “Yes,” he whispered, the single word carrying all the permission Keir needed.

Keir leaned forward, his tongue tracing a path from base to tip before taking Finn fully into his mouth. The sight was mesmerizing—Keir’s lips stretched around Finn’s length, their mate’s head falling back in pleasure, water droplets glistening on his skin in the morning light.
