“I’m not sure who you’ve had in your bed,” she says quietly, “and I have no doubt those women would lavish?—”
“What the fuck?” My jaw would’ve dropped if it were me in the body. Does she really think that way about us? Does she think that in the years we’ve been apart that my brothers and I have been fucking around with other women? Honing our skills or getting our dicks wet with someone that isn’t her?
Is that truly how she thinks of us?
She’s our soulmate. Our lifeline.
Without her, I’d rather be dead.
“There have been no women,” Fluffy roars, completely losing his cool. His chest heaves with each breath, and our legs are trembling as we try to control our hurt. Maia’s lips part, and Fluffy regains control of himself.
I whine across our shared bond at the look on Maia’s face. Our mate does think that lowly of us.
She thinks we’re disloyal. No wonder she can’t trust us with our pup. How she can’t trust us with her love.
“I would never, ever treat you that way. I’ve never been with another person—man or woman. You are it for me—for all of us.” Fluffy sits back on his heels, and gives her a look of true sadness. “It would be a dishonour for any werewolf to bed another whilst knowing their mate is out there for them. None of us would ever taint our connection like that.”
“Oh. So…” Maia looks over at Phoebe, and I can see the hesitance in her eyes.
“You are the only one that will come to our bed impure, yes,” Fluffy says gently.
“Impure?” My gorgeous mate scoffs and shakes her head. “Not only is virginity a social construct, the amount of men I’ve fucked is none of your damn business.”
“Don’t argue with her,” I suggest, recognising the angry tone once more. “Just thank her and move on.”
“Everything you do, little mate, is my business. The day our bond snapped into place is the day you became my everything,” Fluffy says. It would be sweet if he wasn’t so angry with her. “Every breath you take, every move you make, every thought you have—it’s mine to be aware of.”
“That’s not going to work for me,” Maia says, shaking her head. Her curls bounce around her face, and I so badly want to run my fingers through them, to touch her and have it be appreciated. “I never thought you’d be this… over-controlling.”
Fluffy frowns. “I’m being over-controlling?”
“You just said that you want to be aware of every single breath I take.”
“Well, not literally,” my wolf says before directing his words to me silently. “Did you think I meant I was going to sit and watch her breathe, Ben?”
“No, of course, not. She breathes all day long. We’ve got jobs.” My confusion grows, and Fluffy looks at my mate with narrowed eyes. “You meant if she was sick, we’d be there to help her and support her. Right? That if she wanted to go somewhere but couldn’t, we’d make it possible. That if she was anxious, we’d help reassure her. We’re not over-controlling. We’re supportive.”
“Why didn’t she see that?” he whispers, eyeing the woman opposite us.
“What are you two talking about?” Maia asks softly.
“You’re an idiot,” Fluffy says.
A small smile tugs at her lips, but she smothers it back down. I wish she wouldn’t—she’s beautiful when she’s so carefree. “I see. Could you elaborate a little more?”
“Clearly, we’re not going to sit and watch you breathe. That’s tiresome, and even if your tits would look good, we have work to do,” Fluffy says.
“I see. So, you didn’t mean that literally.”
“No,” Fluffy says, shaking his head. “If you wanted me to quit my job and watch you breathe, I could. I’d be bored, but I’ll give you what you need. But I really would be bored all day.”
She smiles once more, and both Fluffy and I grin. “I don’t think that’s necessary, but I do appreciate it.”
Fluffy fakes wiping sweat from our brow, and she laughs.
“So, we never got around to discussing why you are here at… one in the morning?” she asks, reading the time off her watch.
“Fluffy celebrates his pup’s birthday,” he says, leaning in closer to her and Phoebe. I get a small whiff of her orange and vanilla scent, and I can’t wait until the day Phoebe’s scent comes in.
