“Evergreen must’ve been waiting for you to tell me because he didn’t mention anything about it this afternoon,” Victor confided. “He’s probably so excited at the chance to get to know you better.”
“I am excited too,” Phillip assured Victor. “But what I am wondering most at the moment is why you are still sitting on that chair by yourself when Keegan and I are on this sofa.”
Victor chuckled. “Actually, I was thinking about shifting. After my kitty’s growls this afternoon, I figured it’d be a good idea to formally introduce him to our mates.”
“It’s about time,” Keegan enthused. “Go on. Get naked and shift.”
“If Victor takes his clothes off in front of me, I guarantee you my hands will be far too busy on his body to allow him to shift,” Phillip stated seriously.
Victor stopped in his rise from the chair and blinked heavily. “Hush, Spicy. I can’t shift if I’m hard.”
“As a sentinel, I can do nothing but tell the truth,” Phillip said. He dearly wanted to familiarize himself with more of both Victor and Keegan, but he wasn’t sure if they were ready to experiment beyond kisses. If they weren’t, he was happy to wait without pressuring them.
“Somebody better be stripping me tonight,” Keegan insisted.
Stepping over to the couch, Victor gently grasped Keegan’s chin and fused their mouths together. Dragon and sentinel inwardly growled with pleasure at the delightful sight of their mates slowly tasting each other. Phillip was far from finished enjoying the view when Victor cupped Phillip’s face and slipped his tongue between the sentinel’s lips.
Phillip lifted a hand and caressed the side of Victor’s neck as they fought for a supremacy neither was destined to win.
“Kiss our Sunshine,” Victor ordered quietly once he pulled away.
With a nod, Phillip grasped a chunk of Keegan’s pretty red waves and did as he was ordered. The scent of sunflowers filled his senses, and Phillip hoped to hell he would have the chance to find every freckle on Keegan’s body soon. Phillip’s cock pressed hard on the zipper of his usually roomy uniform pants, so he ended the kiss.
It was a mistake to look at Keegan. His big brown eyes were dilated and teeming with desire. Phillip couldn’t help but buss his nose as a flood of affection for Keegan and Victor flowed beautifully through him. He glanced at Victor to find the cat shifter watching them with a small smile on his face.
“I don’t know about you guys, but I think this matebond is going great,” Victor said. He sighed heavily.
“Go shift so we can meet your kitty,” Phillip requested as he forced himself to release Keegan so he wouldn’t maul the man.
“Then I’m getting naked one way or another,” Keegan insisted again.
“Spicy and I will strip you,” Victor promised.
Unwilling to offer any opposition to Victor and because he was also eager to get Keegan out of his clothes, Phillip nodded in agreement.
Keegan rubbed his palms together and grinned. “I can’t wait to see you both naked.”
“Okay, be good,” Victor ordered as he walked toward the bathroom. “I need to get myself under control so I can shift.”
Keegan put his fist over his mouth. “I want to apologize so bad.”
“Curb the impulse; you have nothing to be sorry about, Sunshine,” Phillip said as Victor closed the bathroom door, leaving them alone.
“I’m so happy you had such a good day with your dragon,” Keegan offered quietly.
“Me too. He is fond of you and Victor. I like that my solution for requiring fewer potions is that I get to spend more time with you both.”
Keegan’s gorgeous smile flashed. “I love it. We haven’t known each other long, but I feel like things are going great.”
“I agree.”
A moment later, there was the sound of scratching on wood coming from the bathroom. Keegan laughed.
“I don’t think Victor considered how he’d get out of the bathroom once he was in kitty form and didn’t have any thumbs,” Keegan remarked as he stood and raced to open the door.
A gorgeous cat with Victor’s deep green gaze stalked out of the bathroom with his tail curved upward. His short gray fur shimmered in the light from the lamps and appeared dense.
“Oh my gosh, Sparkles, can I pick you up?” Keegan gushed.
