Chapter 56 Missed You
Kai and Alaric came running out the front doors of the pack house moments later.
“Is everything taken care of for now?” Thea said.
“Yes. Maggie is getting a block of rooms prepared, a room of clothes, and she’ll be hiring additional help in the kitchens and laundry,” Alaric said. Maggie was the pack house manager.
“The doctor is on it too.”
Thea ran her hands up his hard abs, all the way behind his head, to pull him in for a kiss. “Thank you,” she said.
She turned to Kai and held out her hand. “Have something for me?”
Kai reached into his pocket and handed her three condoms. She put them in her pocket.
“Well, strip boys,” she said.
“Right here?” Alaric said.
“You don’t want to rip your clothes when you shift, do you?”
“Right.”
The boys stripped, leaving their clothes in a pile off to the side, and shifted into their wolves. They all came and nuzzled her, licked her face, smelled her hair and their marks.
“I missed you too,” she said.
“Let’s get out of here.” They all laid down so she could climb onto their backs.
“Okay, Caleb, you lead. Axel, I’m riding you. Damon, you bring up the rear.” She looked at Damon.
“And Kai, you keep getting crazy. I want you riled up later,” she thought to him.
Damon jumped up, tongue hanging out of his mouth. Thea smiled and climbed onto Axel. When she was secure, Caleb took off, followed by Axel, then Damon.
They ran through the woods, Delta team guards flanking them. Caleb sniffed out a secluded spot with lots of tree coverage, and they stopped. Thea laid still against Axel for a moment, catching her breath. She felt him breathing under her. She ran her fingers through the fur of his back.
Axel laid down, and Thea slid off. She lost her balance and fell on her butt, laughing. Her legs, arms, and abs were shaking. She lost muscle and stamina over the last month. Riding Axel took a lot out of her.
“Okay, Alaric was right. I’m still not a hundred percent,” she said.
Axel sniffed her to make sure she was okay, no cuts, no blood. Damon came up and did the same.
“I’m okay. I’m going to lay down, though,” she said. Axel laid down next to her, head on his paws, looking at her.
Caleb came up and lay at her other side. She reached out to both wolves, and they nuzzled into her.
Damon paced back and forth at her feet.
Caleb and Axel shifted back to Conri and Alaric.
They scooted up against her on their sides, naked, and started caressing her.
Thea pulled Alaric in for a kiss. They were so gentle with her the past month, ever since she almost died. She knew they needed this. So did she. Even though she spent a lot of the last month sleeping,
the need to be close to them was only getting more intense because of her marks. When two of them would leave for school every day, it had been painful.
“Will you make love to me, Ric?” Thea said softly.
He nodded and kissed her. “You’ll let me know if it’s too much?”
“I think you’ll feel it through the matebond, but yeah.”
“Good point.”
Conri and Alaric started undressing Thea. She looked at Damon pacing.
“Damon, what are you thinking?” Thea said in just her underwear. Damon stopped and looked at her.
“He’s thinking it’s too soon, and we shouldn’t be doing this yet,” Conri said. “Is he right?”
“He can’t stand the thought of us hurting you,”
Alaric said.
“You won’t hurt me. The doctor said it was okay. I just need to listen to my body. We can try, Damon. They’ll be gentle and careful.”
Damon came up, nuzzled, and licked her stomach.
“He’s afraid we’ll hurt your chances of being able to have pups,” Alaric said.
Thea put her forehead against Damon’s. She scratched his neck. “I know. I’m scared too, Damon. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt our chances of having a pup. Didn’t you hear the doctor? We just can’t try to get pregnant yet. See these?” She held up the condoms.
“These will keep that from happening.”
“But you just said you’re not a hundred percent,” Conri said for Damon.
“That’s because I don’t have all my blood volume back,” Thea said.
“I’m just tired and weak. The day has caught up to me, and I don’t have the muscle strength, energy, or endurance to ride you guys yet.”
“He doesn’t want to let Kai out. He says he’s too excited. He’ll hurt you,” Conri said.
“Damon, I trust Kai,” Thea said.
“He may be excited, but he can be gentle and careful. You know he’ll do what’s good for us. Don’t fight with him.”
Damon sniffed and licked his and Kai’s mark, then nuzzled Thea’s belly. Thea pet his head.
“I want pups too,” Thea said.
Damon gave one last lick, stepped back, and shifted back to Kai. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“He’s really worried about you,” Kai said.
“I know. I’m okay, though, I promise.”
“What do you need?” Kai said.
“Maybe one at a time? Me on my back? My muscles are spent.”
“Of course, darling,” Kai said.
“That’s easy, babe,” Conri said. He unhooked her bra, set it aside, and laid down a few feet away.
Alaric got between her legs and pulled her panties off.
“Are you in the mood for this?” He brought his head between her legs and hovered, looking up at her.
“Always. Gently, though.”
He nodded and kissed her inner thigh, working his way to her folds. She bucked against him. It had been a while, and the sensation was new again. Sparks erupted anywhere he touched. He sucked and nibbled her sensitive nub until she was moving her hips against his mouth, moaning.
“I love doing this,” Alaric said after she came.
“Really?”
“I love the way you smell and taste, and the sounds you make, but you know when you feel something, we feel it through the matebond. It feels good on so many levels to do this.”
Conri and Kai nodded.
“I’ve missed you so much,” Thea thought. “I want to feel you inside me.”
Alaric sat up, grabbed one of the condoms, and put it on. He hovered over Thea, aligned himself, and slowly pushed in. He watched her face, gauging her reactions. It was pleasure and desire all the way. Everything about it felt different now that she was marked and mated. She felt him like an extension of herself. It felt like his soul was inside her. She wrapped her legs around his hips, winced, then put them back on the ground,
“That’s too intense right now. Too deep,” she said.
“I’ll stay shallow,” Alaric said.
“I think this position will do the trick. I just can’t put my legs up.”
“Still.”
Thea ran her hands into his short hair and pulled him into a kiss.
“I love you, Ric.”
“I love you too.”
He slid in and out of her slowly, in small movements, and it was the slowest torture. Heat building between them. Sparks where he moved inside her. She moaned against his mouth. He brought a hand up to knead her breast.
Their tongues moved against each other, and her hands moved to his back. One moved to his buttocks and followed his movements, pushing down when he slid inside her. He lengthened his movements, and her moans turned to desperate whimpers. His hand moved down to rub her clit.
Her hands went back to his face, and she positioned his forehead against hers.
“Look into my eyes when we come,” she said.
He nodded. A few seconds later, they came, looking into each other’s eyes. The connection was deeper. It had been too long since they were able to connect this way. They’d never connected quite this way. Her heart was full.
“I missed you,” Thea said in her mind.
“I missed you too,” Alaric said.
He held her for a moment, coming down as they continued to look into each other’s eyes. Then he gave her another kiss and pulled out of her. He rolled off to the side and stared at her, basking in the connection.
Conri came up next to her and laid beside her.
“How are you doing?” he said.
“Good,” she said.
“Are you up for more?”
She nodded, smiling. She reached for him and brought him into a kiss.
“I want to feel you inside me, Con,” she thought. “I need to. I’m ready. Just look in my eyes. I want to see your beautiful soul.”.
Conri reached for a condom, put it on, then got on top of her, between her legs. He cradled her in his arms and put his forehead against hers. She stroked his back up and down as he slowly pushed in.
“Tell me when to stop,” he said.
“When I’m too deep.”
He kept thinking she would stop him, but she didn’t. He buried himself to the hilt.
“We were made for each other, Con,” Thea said.
Conri smiled, slid an arm under her, and held her close without putting his weight on her. He knew she was still weak, and not being able to move could trigger a panic attack. She felt the care and concern he had for her.
He pulled almost all the way out and pushed back in. The eye contact made it more intimate, created a deeper connection. It wasn’t long before tears started spilling out of Conri’s eyes. Thea matched his sentiment, tears falling from hers as well.
“I love you,” she said.
“I love you more,” Conri said.
“More than anyone has ever loved anything.”
She knew he wasn’t just saying it. He believed it. He felt things so intensely, so purely, nothing impeded his feelings.
“Then I’m a close second in how much I love you,” Thea thought to him.
He kept moving slowly, steadily, and a deep pressure was building, like a bowl filling with water. When it finally started to overflow, it spilled over everywhere, slowly, steadily, powerfully.
“Goddess, you make me feel things I didn’t know were possible, Con,” she thought to him.
He kissed his mark and pulled out of her. He rolled to her other side, spent.
Kai came and lay next to her.
“How are you feeling?” Kai said.
“Good. Tired, weak, but good. I’m up for more,” she said, answering his next question.
He nodded.
“You know, this is probably one of the few times I’ll let you be on top,” she said.
“You may as well take advantage. Live out the fantasies you have rolling around in that head.”
He smiled then his eyes turned black.
“Damon, it’s okay,” Thea said.
His eyes went back to crystal blue.
“Safe fantasies only,” Kai said. He moved between her legs and brought his head down.
“Let me know if anything is too much.”
“I will.”
She could feel his desires. He wanted to pleasure her. He wanted her to claim him emotionally since she couldn’t physically right now. It didn’t take long before she was pulling him up, needing to feel him and see him in other ways.
He grabbed the last condom, put it on, and let her pull him on top of her. He slowly pushed inside her, and she kissed him, tasting herself on him.
“I love it when you taste like me,” she thought while their tongues battled. “You’re only allowed to taste like me. No one else.”
“I only ever want to taste like you,” he said.
“You’re mine.”
“I’m yours, darling.”
She pushed against one side of him, and he knew she wanted to be on top. He rolled over, bringing her with him in his arms. She laid on him for a moment to regain her strength.
She propped herself up on her elbows, muscles shaking, then collapsed on top of him with a sigh.
Kai sat up and held her in his embrace. It was secretly one of his fantasies to help her. He didn’t want her hurt or weak, but he wanted to support her. He wanted her to lean on him-emotionally, physically— but she never needed it. She had always been the strong one. It fulfilled something deep inside him that she was leaning on him for support.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder, where she had access to his marking spot.
“I know you’re holding me up so I can feel like I’m on top, even though I’m completely in your control,” she thought to him.
“I love it. Thank you.”
He kissed her mark and moved inside her. She was sitting on him in a way where her clit rested on his pelvis. When he moved, he rubbed against her. She tilted her hips forward to get more pressure.
He smelled her hair, and she felt him relax deeply.
“I’ve missed you,” she thought to him. “I want to be everything for you. I want to give you what you want and keep you happy. I’m sorry I haven’t had enough strength lately.”
“I don’t need to fight you to be fulfilled,” he whispered in her ear. “I want to be close to you. I push your buttons to get a rise out of you because it gets you to focus on me. It’s been my way of getting close to you. When you’re vulnerable with me like this,I feel it deep inside me. I crave it like a drug. I feel so close to you. I want you to rely on me. I want you to trust me with all of you.”
“I do,” she thought. “I know you’ll catch me if I fall. It’s not even a question. I don’t have to look behind me. I know you’re there. That’s what I was saying to Damon earlier. I love you so much, Kai.”
“I love you too.”
“Kai. My Alpha,” she thought to him. He felt the meaning in the word. “My protector. My lover. My mate. I’m going to rely on you forever.”
She kept thinking things to his mind as he moved inside her. She sucked and nibbled on his marking spot. He kissed his mark on her shoulder. It was such an intimate position. Thea vulnerable, entirely dependent on him. Kai held her in his strong embrace, hands caressing her gently, their bare chests sliding against each other. Every movement sent sparks everywhere.
She felt this orgasm in her heart. They connected on a deeper emotional level than ever before. Kai felt she wanted him for more than the challenge. She wanted this side of him. As he was being strong for her, he was also at his most vulnerable. No facade, just desperate need for the woman in his arms.
She felt that he saw her for who she was. He wanted to be the space where she didn’t have to be strong. She savored that-knowing he wanted it, she could relax completely and let him see her weak side, and he was overjoyed. She finally
understood that his dominating behavior was his way of gaining her attention. He knew her well enough to know that the Alpha in her couldn’t back down from a challenge. It made her love him more.
They came down slowly, Kai holding her, Thea resting on him. He gently laid her down on her side and spooned her from behind.
“She needs to sleep, guys,” Kai said in mind link. He motioned for Alaric and Conri to join them.
They all snuggled together while she drifted off to sleep.
They woke her when it was getting close to dinner.
“You need to eat, babe,” Conri said.
Alaric grabbed her clothes, and they helped her get dressed.
“Can you hold on long enough to get home?” Alaric said.
“I think so,” Thea said.
“Who do you want to ride?” Alaric said.
“I better ride Damon, so he knows I’m okay,” she said.
The triplets shifted, and she got on Damon’s back. He mind linked Axel and Caleb and told them to take it slow.
Back at the pack house, the triplets’ clothes were where they left them. They dressed quickly.
“You guys are kind of muddy,” Thea said. “Do we have time for a shower?”
“A quick one,” Kai said. He picked her up and carried her up to their room, Alaric and Conri on their heels.
