“When the pixies attacked, he left us behind.” Theo glanced at Wylder. “They’re like these winged creatures the size of butterflies with fangs and claws. They were so mean!”
“That is where the small cuts came from.” Dario ran a finger over some scratches that Theo still had from the first attack. He’d already spotted numerous bruises from his brother.
“Yeah. Garrett covered me with his body and got it way worse,” Theo admitted.
“We owe him a debt for protecting you,” Alek said. “I’ll make sure my fathers know.”
“Garrett was great. And so cute learning to walk.” Theo would always love that memory. “I’m glad I at least had him.”
Wylder cooed. “Aww!”
Theo nodded. “Steve claimed that the pixies are poisonous to his kind and that’s why he left us. I was suspicious but we didn’t know where to go and he offered to take us to his family where we could at least get into cell phone range. It really sucked that my phone didn’t work.”
“We’ll magically protect the phones to work in every realm. Again, we would have done this before but haven’t had time to get everything in order. That ends now. No one leaves this apartment until we’ve made sure to secure ourselves. I’m not losing another mate again,” Alek stated firmly.
Theo nodded. “I am one hundred percent behind that.”
“Now tell me more!” Wylder shook him.
He laughed. Even though his body still ached and felt heavy, it was awesome to laugh. Theo had known that his mates would come for him. Even being summoned away wasn’t enough to separate them for long.
Theo finished telling his mates about his time in the fae realm, which would have been easier if Wylder didn’t keep interrupting. Mitch ended up covering Wylder’s mouth and that was just hilarious. But it worked so Theo could get through his story before Wylder took over telling things from his point of view.
Theo couldn’t believe he missed the sword fighting and Dario transforming into his dragon. For one, Theo loved seeing Mitch wield a sword. And he bet Alek had looked just as hot. Plus, Mitch in his demon warrior form the entire time. Now that totally wasn’t fair.
“Stop pouting.” Dario thumbed Theo’s lip. “I’ll show you my dragon as soon as it’s safe.”
“It’s not fair,” Theo whined.
“It’s not fair?” Dario grabbed Theo’s chin, forcing his eyes up to his. “What is not fair is having my little one taken from me. Never again.”
Theo nodded. That sounded good to him. “Never again.”
Lowering his mouth, Dario smiled. “We missed you.”
“I missed you all too.” Theo barely got the words out before he was being kissed. Oh! Hellcats! This was what Theo really needed from his mates.
Theo sucked on Dario’s tongue even as firm calloused hands fit under his shirt. Mitch. He knew Mitch was the one touching him. Strong fingers that knew how hard to press and tease his nipples.
Throwing his head back, Theo gasped as lips attacked his neck. Wylder. Theo’s human mate loved to suck on Theo’s neck.
Dario urged Theo to his knees and pushed Theo’s pajama pants down. Theo’s cock twitched when the cool air hit him but Alek wrapped his warm fingers around Theo’s shaft and stroked.
Every mate that belonged to Theo was touching him.
This was amazing.
Theo had missed his mates. It might have only been a day in the human realm as Dario had explained to him but it felt like so much longer. Too long.
Mitch’s fingers pinched and teased Theo’s nipples as Alek stroked him. Wylder sucked on his neck while Dario kissed him. It was mind-whirling and exciting. All his mates concentrating on him.
Throwing his head back, Theo yelled as a warm mouth surrounded his cock.
Theo gave a tentative thrust of his hips.
“That’s right, baby,” Dario encouraged. His voice low and rough.
He bit his lip as he glanced at Dario. Admittedly, Theo didn’t have a whole lot of experience in bed. Or even out of bed. He knew what he wanted. The connection and bond with his mates was everything. Made Theo feel safe and loved.
