“Too bad, Salsiby, you almost had that one. It’s really too bad that the wolf packs statements were so damning. I expect that the wolves you borrowed will leave Arkadia immediately without causing any trouble. Is that clear?” The wolf Elder leveled a gaze at the five wolf bodyguards Salsiby had brought, before his eyes shifted from amber to wolf yellow.
“Yes, Alpha,” they all agreed, and as one turned to leave Salsiby standing alone in the office.
“Have fun,” Ramsey said, and winked, his yellow wolf eyes laughing. His screen also went dark.
“I suggest you leave town immediately, old boy,” Lachlan said, grinning, his eyes also shifting to a tawny lion color. Salsiby grabbed his suitcase and scrambled out the door.
Kent felt his legs give out and suddenly he was on his hands and knees on the floor gulping for air.
“Delayed reaction, give the boy some room,” Lachlan said when everyone crowded to see if he was okay. Seconds later Liam was beside him on the floor pulling him into his lap, as if he weren’t the shorter of the two. Sebastian cuddled up close on their side.
“We’ll leave you three alone,” Lachlan said, grinning.
“Don’t think you have all day, we’re going to party like rock stars to celebrate!” Rebecca said.
“Yeah, make it a quickie,” Felix said, blowing them kisses. Giggling, Sebastian buried his face in Kent’s neck. Everyone filed out before shutting the door behind them.
“I’m so sorry I doubted you!” Sebastian gripped Kent’s shirt tightly.
“You weren’t the only one, kitten. For a second there when you turned around, I thought you had given up.” Liam squeezed Kent tighter.
“I’m so sorry for that. I didn’t mean to ignore you, I just couldn’t see and feel your pain and think at the same time,” Kent explained softly.
“I love you both so much. I few minutes ago my whole world was falling apart now I have my friends and family celebrating in the back yard.” Liam leaned his head back against the desk with a loud thump.
“I need you both!” Sebastian said starting to claw at his mate’s clothing.
Kent smiled and pulled Sebastian onto his lap.
“You have us. Because I’m never letting you go.” Kent smashed his lips to Sebastian’s, he could practically taste the desperation. Suddenly Sebastian pulled away from their kiss and moaned loudly. Kent looked to see that Liam had snaked his hand down their small mate’s pants.
“Baby, are you wearing a butt plug?” Kent asked, his fingers trailing the hard line of silicone between his mate’s cheeks. He could feel a rising heat as he began to harden.
“Holy shit, kitten, how big is this thing?” Liam asked, looking at Kent with wide eyes. Sebastian panted and looked at his two mates.
“I have something to tell you,” he said, sitting back on his knees. Kent looked at Liam, who shook his head.
“What is it, kitten?” Liam asked.
“Whatever it is you can tell us,” Kent said, hoping that after the morning they had, he would be able to handle whatever his mate was about to confess.
* * * *
Sebastian sat back and wondered how in the hell was he going to tell his mates his deepest secret.
“Kitten, you’re scaring us. What is it?” Liam asked. Sebastian was so scared he was about to ruin his mating. He had kept things from Liam before and they were just moving past that. He wasn’t sure if Liam or Kent could forgive him this.
“Do you remember when you asked if there was anything else I needed to tell you, and I said yes, but wanted to tell you later? Well it’s later.” Sebastian twisted his hands in front of him.
“Okay, kitten, just blurt it all out. Rip the Band-Aid off, then we’ll deal,” Liam said, moving Kent to sit beside him.
“Okay, here it goes. Icangetpregnant,” Sebastian rushed out. Liam and Kent stared at him, not saying anything. Unable to take the silence, he began to babble.
“All hybrids can, we can shift anything, literally. I didn’t know if this would really freak you out so I didn’t say anything since I didn’t want to ruin our mating. I put in the XXXL butt plug in hopes that if we won the case, you could take me, you know, together.” That was as far as his mates let him get before jumping him. His mates’ hands were everywhere, pulling his clothes off and stroking his hot skin. Sebastian felt a hand wiggle the butt plug. He couldn’t help the deep moan that escaped. Sebastian opened his eyes when one set of hands disappeared. He saw Liam quickly shucking his pants as Kent stroked up and down Sebastian’s leg while playing with the butt plug. When Liam was completely undressed, he took over from Kent while their last clothed mate quickly removed his clothes. Sebastian cried out when Liam swallowed him down. He felt the tip of his cock hit the back of his mate’s throat. Wanting both his mates, he opened his eyes and looked for Kent. He saw his mate coming towards them from behind the desk.
“Hurry,” he whispered.
“Liam,” Kent said. Liam pulled off of his new favorite treat as he removed the butt plug. Kent lay down on the floor before Sebastian climbed on top of their gentle mate and straddled his waist. He stared down into his shining eyes before he reached behind him and guided Kent’s huge cock into his ass. As he slowly sunk down, he dropped his head back at the amazing feeling of his mate inside of him. He began to ride his mate.
“You really don’t mind or think I am a freak?” Sebastian asked and looked down at Kent.
“What are we feeling, baby?” Kent asked. Sebastian paused in his movements and reflected on what he felt in his soul. Joy. Pure joy. When he turned around to look at Liam, their Alpha had tears on his face and he didn’t even bother to hide. Sebastian, still half-turned, watched as Liam came up behind him. A second later he felt Liam slip a finger in beside Kent’s dick.
“Yes,” Sebastian hissed.
The finger was removed and he felt the head of Liam’s cock begin to slowly push its way forward. Sebastian gasped. He had never felt so full. Just when he thought he couldn’t take anymore Liam finally bottomed out inside of him. Both Liam and Kent were panting hard.
“We’re going to make a baby. It will be a part of all three of us. God, baby, I love you both so much.” Liam whispered the words into Sebastian’s ear.
“Do you want to try now?” Sebastian asked, surprised. He felt Liam’s forehead nod against the back of his head. He looked down at Kent, who was nodding, his tears trailing down his temples to disappear in his hair line. Sebastian took a deep breath and concentrated on shifting just certain parts of himself.
Finally he relaxed against Liam’s chest.
“It’s done,” he said. That seemed to be the catalyst for his men to move, because suddenly they were pistoning themselves in and out of his body.
“Full, so full.” Sebastian felt his body being pushed and pulled by their cocks ravaging his hole. He began to push back against Liam before thrusting against Kent. Feeling utterly free, he moved his hands up his body to pinch his own nipples.
“Let me, kitten,” Liam said against his ear, sending shivers down his neck. Liam reached around and savagely twisted and pulled his nipples, causing him to keen loudly.
“Almost there!” Sebastian whispered.
Kent leaned up on one elbow and reached forward to tightly fist Sebastian’s dripping dick. That was all it took to send Sebastian over the edge, taking Kent and Liam with him.
Sebastian was unsure of how much time passed. When he opened his eyes he was face down on the floor. He watched Kent clean himself. He grinned when Kent caught him looking. He suddenly gasped when a large, unyielding object was thrust inside him.
“We’re keeping our seed inside of you baby,” Liam said and kissed down his spine. Sebastian held up his hand, showing his thumbs-up. A sudden slap across his ass cheeks brushed against the butt plug, causing him to groan.
“Come on, kitten, time to celebrate with our family,” Liam said.
“Sadist,” Sebastian whimpered.
All three were grinning w
ildly when they joined the others outside. Sebastian walked behind Liam gingerly, and when they made it to the back porch and watched as pack, pride and sloth run amok. He had to admit. He was definitely home.
Chapter 10
“You didn’t shift last night,” Liam said as he munched away on his Lucky Charms.
“I finally feel safe,” Sebastian admitted, staring into the pantry. Grabbing a box of cereal, Sebastian poured himself a bowl of Cheerios and sat next to his mate.
“Please tell me there is coffee,” Kent said, stumbling into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes.
Liam pointed to the coffee pot.
“What are we doing today?” Sebastian asked, inhaling his cereal.
“I don’t have any plans. What about you, Liam?” Kent asked.
“I have to finish all of the damn paperwork from the hearing yesterday, plus transfer paperwork.” Liam growled.
“Oh,” Sebastian said, feeling disappointed. Liam’s head came up.
“What’s the matter, kitten?” Liam asked. Sebastian looked up to see Liam and Kent staring at him intently. He blushed. He pushed a lone Cheerio around his bowl with his spoon.
“He is turning red, like real red,” Liam said, sounding fascinated.
“I know we don’t know for sure, but I was thinking, maybe before we know, and I can’t do much to help. We could shop to turn the room next to the master bedroom into a nursery,” Sebastian said softly.
Liam immediately began to choke on his Lucky Charms and Kent cursed as his hand jerked, spilling hot coffee on his hand.
“You guys didn’t really think things through yesterday, did you?” Sebastian asked, sounding amused.
Kent finally leaned over, whacked Liam’s back, and a small purple horseshoe flew out of his mouth.
“Could you be? I mean already? Doesn’t that shit take time? Like months?” Liam asked flabbergasted.
“I could be, yes. No, it doesn’t take months, it could happen anytime,” Sebastian explained. Both his mates were pale. Kent had to put his coffee cup down, his hand was trembling so hard.
“It could take weeks, months, or even years. But we can always start planning,” Sebastian said. Liam nodded his head absently, but Sebastian could tell he had checked out. He looked up. Yup. Kent wasn’t much better. Rolling his eyes, he stood up to carry his bowl to the sink.
“Where are you going?” Liam shouted, jumping up to take his bowl.
“Sit down, you need to sit,” Kent said, also jumping to his feet.
“Okay. Look at my lips. I am going to speak really sllooowwly. Even if I am pregnant, I can still function. Wait until we know for sure before you turn into idiots. If you do it beforehand, I may kill you both in your sleep,” Sebastian said, taking his bowl and pushing past his mates to rinse it in the sink.
When he turned back around, his mates were still staring at him. Resigning himself to a weird couple weeks, Sebastian turned to head out of the kitchen. He yelped when two strong hands pulled him back.
Kent nuzzled one ear and Liam the other.
“It’s no fair you both know my weak spots,” Sebastian said, sighing happily.
“I’ll drive you to town and we can shop. We can pick up some things for Felix, too,” Kent said, kissing his neck.
“Where is Felix?” Sebastian asked as Liam’s hand rubbed him up and down on his belly.
“Sleeping it off. He drank enough to put down three shifters twice his size. I think he was that relieved that he could stay,” Liam said. Reluctantly, Sebastian stepped out of their arms or they wouldn’t get anything done.
“I just have one request,” Sebastian said.
“Anything, baby,” Kent and Liam agreed together.
“We don’t say anything about me being able to get pregnant until after we already know for sure I am.” He looked up at his mates. Both were nodding.
“You do know that no one will mind. Rebecca will probably be ecstatic. She loves her little kitty to pieces,” Liam joked and Sebastian batted away Liam’s hand as it went to scratch under his chin.
Secretly, he was relieved that his mates were treating him normally, albeit like fragile glass, but not as if he was a sideshow circus attraction.
“Come on, baby, let’s go see what we can find in town,” Kent said, taking his hand. Liam sighed.
“Catch up quick,” Sebastian said, blowing him a kiss.
“I will. Love you both.” Liam waved as they walked out of the door.
* * * *
“I’m glad we skipped the baby stuff until Liam could be with us,” Sebastian said as he and Kent walked out of the clothing store. They had fun picking outfits for Felix.
“Me too, it didn’t seem right without him. Baby, are you hungry?” Kent asked. Sebastian nodded.
“I would kill for one of Ma’s chicken pot pies.” Sebastian licked his lips.
“That woman sure can cook,” Kent said.
They walked hand in hand to the diner, Kent carrying their shopping bags. Kent reached forward and pushed the door open for them. Sebastian smiled up at his mate. When they walked inside, Sebastian realized that in its own way the diner was home to him, too.
“There you are! I’ve been up for hours. You’re just in time to discuss The Doctor,” Rebecca said. Sebastian hurried forward and sat with Rebecca, Ashby, Kate and their mates. Nic sighed dreamily.
“I wish I could meet a man like that,” he said.
“Like what? What doctor?” Kent asked, taking a seat next to Sebastian.
“The Doctor,” Sebastian said.
“Is he single?” Rian asked from the next table. Rebecca giggled and shook her head.
“He’s a doctor on TV,” she explained.
“Dr. Who?” Kent asked.
“Exactly!” Rebecca, Sebastian, Ashby, Kate and Nic said at once.
Sebastian watched as Kent shook his head. He noticed that his mate shared his confused look with Aleks, Gabriel, Caleb and Bran.
“Speaking of Saturdays, who do you call during our Doctor time and leave the phone on speaker for, Ashby?” Rebecca asked. Gabriel’s eyebrow went up.
“What’s this, mon ange?” he asked. Ashby looked everywhere but at his mate.
“Angel?” Gabriel asked again. Ashby looked at his mate and sighed.
“It’s Mikhail.” Ashby said. Gabriel stared at Ashby. Ashby stared back. Finally, Gabriel blinked.
“Mikhail?” he asked.
“Yes,” was Ashby’s one word reply. Gabriel shrugged.
“He always did have odd tastes.” Ashby rolled his eyes.
“Where is Liam?” Kate asked.
“Finishing up paperwork. Even as slow as he is, I expected him to be done by now,” Kent said, frowning.
“Maybe we should have stayed in to help him,” Sebastian offered. Kent shook his head.
“Then nothing would have gotten done.” He kissed the side of Sebastian’s neck.
“Whoo hoo, y’all are like newlyweds.” Kate whistled.
Out of nowhere a muffled song went off. It was Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer.” The chorus line was on loop.
Everyone looked at Sebastian before all eyes swung around to Rian, who was staring at Sebastian with wide eyes.
“It wasn’t me this time,” Rian said, sounding shocked. Sebastian shrugged and winked at Rebecca, who collapsed against Kate giggling.
“Hey, Liam,” Sebastian said, answering the phone.
“Hello, kitten. Listen, can you and Kent do me a favor? Old man Gilberton has called up here again telling us to pick up the chocolate or he was going to call the sheriff. Can you guys pick it up? I should be there in a little bit,” Liam said, growling then cursing as Sebastian heard paperwork in the background.
“Sure, my love. Hurry, we miss you,” Sebastian said.
“Miss you both too.” Liam made kissing noises before hanging up.
“I’ll go. I don’t want you lifting anything,” Kent said. Sebastian froze in putting his phone away.
“
Why can’t he lift anything?” Nic asked. Shooting an apologetic look to Sebastian, Kent hesitated to answer.
“Because he and Liam put a crook in my back last night, if you know what I mean. They are going to baby me today. Isn’t that right, Kent?” Sebastian asked.
“All day long.” Kent smiled, leaned in, kissed Sebastian’s cheek and whispered, “Sorry.”
“Love you, big guy,” Sebastian said, and popped Kent on the ass as he walked away. Kent turned and gave him a heated look before walking out of the diner.
“Phew, is it getting hot in here, or is it just the newly mated raising the temperature?” Nic teased. Sebastian blushed.
Ma came out carrying his chicken pot pie.
“Thanks Ma, this smells heavenly.” Sebastian dug into his lunch. Beside him Kent’s tuna on whole wheat sat on his plate. Thinking about his mates and how lucky he was, he worked on his pot pie. He was about halfway through with his lunch when Rebecca’s voice interrupted his thoughts.
“For heaven’s sake, just go help him. If you check the time on your phone anymore you might break it.” Sebastian grinned at her.
“Watch our lunches for us?” He asked. She nodded and he jumped up to head out to Bobbles and Things to help his mate so that they could hurry up and see Liam.
* * * *
Liam walked into the dinner thirty minutes later and saw Rebecca and Kate laughing.
“Hello, my ladyloves.” His eyes went to Rebecca’s stomach. She shook her head.
“I wouldn’t if I were you. Your mates aren’t here to protect you from Aleks.” Rebecca wagged a finger at him. Liam looked around.
“Where are my hot and sexy mates?” Liam asked. Rebecca shrugged.
“They left about thirty minutes ago to pick up the chocolate from Bobbles and Things. I thought that maybe they forgot about their lunch and headed back to the pride house,” she said.
“I bet they got sidetracked at one of the stores. Hold their food and put an order in for me for a burger. I’ll go find them,” he said standing. Walking around after spending most of the morning in his office sounded great. He walked out of the diner, made a right on Market Street and headed to the candy store.
