“You’re so damn beautiful.” His fingers flicked the button open before he dragged the zipper down on my jeans. Just as he started to tug them off and I lifted my hips to help, he groaned, as if in pain. He pressed his forehead into my stomach. “Fuck.” I watched him take a deep breath before he looked up at me as he stood.
“What?” Sitting up, I reached out for his hand. He threaded our fingers together without thought.
“You need to take your bath, maiden. Before it gets cold.” He winked at me saucily. “We’ll continue this later, I promise.” He kissed my fingers individually. “I’m going to help get food ready.”
He let our hands separate. He left my room, closing the door softly. What was that about?
I felt like smacking myself. The other guys could probably hear everything we’d just done.
I moaned in embarrassment before throwing myself backward on the bed. I could have sworn I heard someone laughing, but it cut off abruptly.
Chapter 14
Seth
Listening to Becca verbally spar with Cody had us all relaxing. That had gone a lot better than any of us had been hoping for. I’d have to thank her stepfather for paving the way for us. Axel seemed to be the one who’d been the most worried. Jasper was in the kitchen starting on food. It would be protein filled for Axel, pure meat for the bear, to help his healing process along.
We all froze as Cody asked Becca what was wrong. I was off the couch moving toward the room when Becca answered him. She sounded mortified but my tiger flicked his tail when we figured out what she admitted to. I looked over my shoulder to meet Axel’s gaze. His body was flushed as he rubbed the tops of his legs in embarrassment. He shrugged at me, but avoided my eyes. My tiger rolled on his back in amusement.
Becca had touched herself and Axel was there to listen to it? I needed to hear about it, but first, I relaxed against the wall to listen to what Cody was doing. When Cody took charge, it was hot. I enjoyed watching him dominate our fox. Now, he was making Becca submit to him. When her first breathy moan sounded, my cock jerked alive.
My head rested against the wall as I closed my eyes, imaging the scene as their pleasure sounded around us. Having superior hearing came in handy so many times. Axel huffed in the background, sounding uncomfortable. My lips twitched because I knew he was adjusting himself. The sound of a zipper had me sighing before I cleared my throat to make sure Cody knew he had to stop. It wouldn’t be fair for her to go any further without knowing our wolves, not to mention the rest of our animals’, intentions. I’d finally admitted to myself when we’d been running to them, hoping they were okay, that this girl was all of ours. It didn’t matter that she was human any longer. My tiger wanted her as ours. I’d figure a different way to repopulate our species.
Cody appeared in the hall. He closed the door behind him as he walked toward me, his hips had a cocky sway in them. My lips twitched in amusement. He was preening. He stopped briefly as we heard Becca moan again, I laughed softly at the emotions that were behind it.
We didn’t speak until we were back in the living room, sitting around Axel. Jasper brought over coffee. He grinned at Cody as we all received a mug.
“Damn, Cody,” Jasper snorted. “That was hot.”
Cody beamed. “She’s the one.” He looked at Axel. “You got to hear her pleasure herself and you didn’t tell us? That’s not cool!”
Axel moaned as he ran his hands through his hair. “It wasn’t like that. I didn’t mean to. I couldn’t help it.” His eyes pleaded at us. “I’m not a pervert.”
“Never said you were.” Jasper leaned against him, offering comfort. “None of us would have been able to turn away.”
Axel visibly relaxed as Jasper pressed into him. “She mumbled my name. I couldn’t leave, not after hearing it,” he muttered.
My cock strained against my jeans. I wanted to hear her moaning my name as I mounted her. Her voice was quickly becoming an aphrodisiac after hearing the way she was when touched. My tiger sent me pictures of her laying underneath us, her hair in my fist as we pounded her into a mattress. It took all I had to hold my groan back. The others watched as I adjusted myself with my free hand as I tried to get comfortable again. They weren’t doing any better.
“So,” clearing my throat, “we need to make a plan. I want to speak with Becca’s stepfather about what happened. We need all the help we can get if we’re going to find this fucker.”
“I think he’s after Becca,” Axel spoke softly as he looked toward the hall to her room. “When it came into the clearing, it only saw her. Even when I made myself a target, it tried to go after her.”
A mug broke as it shattered into pieces to fall to the ground. Cody cleared his throat at me as I looked down. The coffee had caused burns on my hand, but it had already begun to heal. My body had gone cold in rage. Cody left for the kitchen but came back with a broom and dustpan.
“You okay, boss man?” He offered his throat to me as he knelt to clean up the mess I’d made.
That little movement had my teeth sinking into his throat, not breaking the skin yet. I hadn’t realized the fury that overtaken me at the rogue going after our girl until that moment. Cody moaned lustily underneath my teeth, breaking the rage. I licked at his neck in apology as I pulled back.
“Damn, boss man,” he winked at me as he swept up the pieces, “you tease.”
Jasper replaced him as he used a towel to mop up the spilt coffee. He offered me his throat, letting me bite him to reassure myself that my pack was alright, so that I wouldn’t burst into Becca’s room and do it to her. Jasper loved when I sucked on his neck as I bit, so I teased him a little before sitting back. Jasper sighed happily as he moved away.
My eyes met Axel’s. We hadn’t touched or asserted our dominance with our bear in months. His eyes lightened before tilting his head to the right. That’s all I needed. I straddled our bear, my left hand holding his neck gently, pressing close before biting into his neck, drawing blood this time. It had been too long to not mark him as ours. I took care to avoid the back of his neck, pressing harder. His cock brushed against mine. My right hand snuck under his shorts to grasp his large cock in it. I squeezed, making him know who was in charge as he growled roughly. My hand ran up and down his cock, not gently, but it was enough to have him whimpering with need, even as I held him still with my teeth.
A throat cleared behind us but I ignored it as my hand sped up, squeezing Axel’s tip. He was groaning as I let his neck go gently. I lapped at the wound, still working his cock in my hand. It didn’t take long before his cock gave in, his cum covered my hand and fingers. He looked up at me, his eyes filled with all the emotions he’d held back when he’d distanced himself from us all those months ago. I pressed our lips together in a chaste kiss, letting him know everything would be fine.
“Sorry to interrupt,” Jasper croaked out. “Becca is about to leave her room from the sound of it.”
