“Oh,” he teases. He leans forward and presses a soft kiss to my lips, giving me the chance to decline. He pulls away, grinning at me.
“Thank you. Max was feeling needy,” he whispers, and his breath brushes over my lips, sending shivers down my spine.
Fuck it.
I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him in closer. I deepen the kiss, even going as far to bite his bottom lip when he doesn’t give me what I crave.
His dominance. His control. His primal energy.
He’s being respectful of me, but I just need him to grab me, pin me down, and?—
“Oh,” someone says from the doorway.
I gasp, and Alex pushes his tongue into my mouth, finally taking over a little. Footsteps come into the room, and I see Seb standing beside us.
Alex sighs into my mouth and slows our kiss down before pressing a gentle one to my lips. He pulls back and smiles. “Thank you. I was feeling needy.”
I giggle before slamming my hands over my mouth in shock. A giggle? What am I? A teenage girl?
My tummy is full of butterflies, my skin still feeling the pleasurable currents from my connection with Alex, and the heated look in Seb’s eyes has my legs trembling.
But then Phoebe stirs, interrupting the moment again, and I remember why this is a bad idea.
Seb moves faster than I can and delicately lifts Phoebe into his arms. My daughter looks even tinier pressed against him, and tears fill my eyes.
“Give baby back to mate,” Alex—or more likely, Max—growls, and Seb’s head snaps up to look at me. His eyes are between hazel and green, and I’m not really sure who is winning between him or Kane.
“That’s not why I was crying,” I mutter. Alex stills, and I place my hand on his chest. “It’s just cute.”
“Cute.” He sounds the word out, almost as if he’s never heard it before.
“Cute,” Seb repeats with a smirk. He looks down at Phoebe and nods before turning to me. “Phoebe wants milk.”
“Milk?” I echo, and this time, I’m the confused one. Seb nods, gesturing to my boobs. “Oh.”
“Come on downstairs. I’ll get you set up on the sofa whilst we order food and wait for everyone to show up,” Alex says.
“Okay.” I don’t protest when Seb carries Phoebe down the stairs, and as they both get me settled, grabbing juice and painkillers, I don’t complain at all.
They make me feel safe.
They treat me like I matter.
Like they truly do care.
“This is my sister, Iris. She’s here alone since her mates are sick of her and refuse to come with,” Ben says with a grin as the front door opens, and a gorgeous woman enters the room. She’s got a long black coat on, and her hat covers most of her long blonde hair. Her eyes are hazel, just like her brothers, and she’s pretty tall. There’s a kind smile on her face when she spots me, and there’s a familiarity to her, almost as if I know her. It’s strange when I know I’ve never seen this woman in my entire life.
“They are not sick of me,” Iris hisses, glaring at her brother. The warmness disappears, and a scowl appears on her face, transforming her from friendly, to very off-putting. “And my mates didn’t refuse to come. Aaron is on the road, and Brad has a game tonight.”
She shakes her head, turning to me as she pulls her coat off. She’s got a slim build, but her thighs are quite toned, and she’s very in shape. Is that a natural werewolf trait?
“It’s really nice to meet you, Maia,” Iris says, beaming at me. “I’ll apologise on behalf of my parents for your misfortune. It should be criminal that you’re stuck with these assholes, but at least you got Alex in that deal.”
Alex is very sweet, but so is Seb, and even Ben, kind of. Doesn’t she like her other two brothers?
“Ah, speaking of assholes… what about Cade? Why didn’t he join us tonight, if he’s not sick of you?” Ben asks, still holding onto the grin. She hangs her coat up and takes her hat off before walking towards us with purpose.
She kicks Ben’s shin, causing him to groan, squeezes my arm in what is a weird—but probably meant to be reassuring—gesture, and then heads through to the kitchen to banter with her other three brothers.
