“You two needed to talk, so I made myself scarce. By the way, I demolished the potato salad. Blame Liam. He worked up my appetite.” Hayden engulfed Teagan’s cock as Liam’s thrusts drove his cock deep inside Teagan’s ass.
They worked Teagan’s body until he was teetering at the edge. As his orgasm shattered inside of him, Liam’s sharp teeth broke skin. Pain for a second, then his climax intensified. His heart stuttered and stalled for only a moment then started again. But… somehow Teagan felt Liam’s and Hayden’s heart beating along with his, as if they’d synchronized.
Mist slowly from his chest, a bright yellow, the color of dandelions. Liam’s mist rose, only the dark blue was laced with pale purple. The ribbons swirled and collided before they collapsed into the opposite chests.
Liam snarled, burying his cock as deeply as he could inside Teagan, his cum spilling inside Teagan’s ass. Easing his canines free, Liam licked the wound.
Next round wasn’t happening. Not tonight. They’d had a long day and an even longer night. Even Teagan’s reserved energy was depleted.
With Liam at his back and Hayden lying in front of him, Teagan drifted off to sleep.
Chapter Eleven
The smell of bacon and coffee penetrated Hayden’s sleep-fogged brain. He blinked one eye open then the other, only to find Teagan sitting up, sniffing the air like he could taste the food through scent. His hair was a wild mess like every morning, but Hayden still found him the most adorable man ever.
“I think Liam’s cooking,” Teagan said. “Or he ordered breakfast. But that definitely smells like he’s cooking.”
Hayden pushed himself up and inhaled the scent of bacon and freshly brewed coffee. “You think we should keep him?”
“Let’s decide after we taste his cooking.” Teagan brushed his fingers over the spot where Liam had bitten Hayden. “How is the mark gone? Those were sharp teeth and thick. You should have two puncture holes.” His fingers tapped at Hayden’s shoulder like he could make them appear. “Weird.”
It was weird, but Hayden was distracted by the delicious aromas drifting into their bedroom. He inhaled just as deeply as Teagan had, his stomach growling loudly.
“I feel different. Do you?” Teagan glanced down at him, looking like he’d been thoroughly wrecked last night, which he had.
Hayden still couldn’t believe what happened. An actual wolf shifter had fucked his brains out then bonded their souls. He would’ve thought it all had been a dream, but unless someone had broken into their house to cook them breakfast, Liam was real.
And their mate.
“I swear it feels like I’ve known the guy forever, but we just met him a few days ago.” Teagan rubbed his eyes, groaning. “That sounds bad. Like we ran off and married two days after getting into his truck on a dark, deserted road.” He glanced down at Hayden. “You do realize that if Liam wasn’t legit, we probably would’ve been hacked up into pieces by now or chained up in his basement.”
Teagan always woke up chatty. Hayden had grown used to it years ago. Most would find the constant chatter irritating, especially as soon as they opened their eyes, but Hayden found solace in hearing Teagan’s rambling voice.
“I’m heading to the kitchen.” Hayden got up and stretched, bones popping. “You coming?”
“I’m freaking starving.” Teagan grabbed some clothes to put on, while Hayden just grabbed some underwear.
At the entrance to the kitchen, the two of them paused. Liam was at the stove, his back to them, flipping pancakes as he hummed. The guy was actually humming as he cooked.
Hayden’s gaze slid over Liam, from his broad shoulders down to his lean waist, appreciating every damn inch of his body. Too bad Liam had dressed. Hayden bet he would look even better at the stove in the buff.
Not practical when sizzling bacon was involved, but in Hayden’s head, popping grease wasn’t a thing.
“Good morning, fellas,” Liam said without turning. “Have a seat. Breakfast is almost ready.”
“This is so bizarre,” Teagan muttered, taking a seat at the table, his chair scraping when he pulled it out. “It doesn’t feel real, does it?”
“We’re just not used to Liam being here. Plus, you’re not fully awake.” Hayden sat, his stomach growling again.
He was trying to make this feel normal for Teagan, rationalize it, but it did feel surreal. It had only been them in the mornings, unless someone dropped by for breakfast, which had never happened until Liam and Aiden had showed up at the ass-crack of dawn.
But this was their first morning together as mates, so Hayden would shake off the bizarre feeling and enjoy himself. “Want some help?”
Liam plated the pancake and turned off the burning. “You can grab the orange juice and glasses.”
“I don’t remember having orange juice in the fridge,” Hayden said.
“Or bacon,” Teagan chimed in.
