“ M ind if I get better acquainted with it?”

“Help yourself.” He offered a soft smile, and his gaze flickered between hazel and blazing gold as I ran my thumb over the tip.

I grinned wickedly and leaned down, replacing my thumb with my tongue. He laced his fingers into my hair. I swirled my tongue and let it explore the delightful ridges, circling each, running my tongue between them, and closing my mouth over the whole head.

His answering moan was perfection, as was the way his fingers tightened, pulling my hair a little. I wrapped my fingers around the base, teasing each ridge in turn, working him into the back of my throat. His breath came sharper with the sweeps of my tongue, his fingers twitching against my scalp.

I wanted more.

I slid back, curling my tongue up the length of him, using my fingers to tease one side while I planted kisses and playful licks on my way down again. The shiver that rippled through him spurred me on. I bobbed my head, wrapping my fingers around the base to help me along.

“Fuck, Logan, ” he breathed out my name, and bit off a fresh moan. I looked up at him. His gaze had gone completely gold again.

I wished I had telepathy so I could whisper filthy things in his mind while I sucked his cock.

I reached around and dug my nails into his ass cheek, encouraging him to fuck gently into my mouth.

I hummed contentedly, amused as the sound cut off each time he delved in and blocked my air for a moment.

Just as I started to get in the zone , he tugged on my hair.

“If you’re going to make me come, I’d rather be inside you. At least the first time.”

Oh. I could get on board with that. I vacuum-sealed my lips around him and pulled off slowly, releasing his cock with an audible pop .

“How do you want me?”

The question had him sucking in a breath again. “You keep making me feel like I’ve hit every jackpot in the world.” He laughed softly and leaned down to kiss me, delving his tongue into my mouth.

How sturdy is your bed frame?

I turned and glanced at it. “Not very. It’s particle board, but I don’t care if we break it.” I kind of hoped that we’d break it. I was ready to rattle that headboard until it snapped off.

“Good to know. Hop on over to the headboard and put your hands on it.”

I moved quickly to follow the instruction and braced my hands on the smooth fake-wood finish.

Caden’s weight dipped the mattress as he climbed on behind me, balancing himself on my hips.

He dipped eager fingertips between my thighs and stroked over my clit before sliding two inside me. I gasped and squeezed around them.

“So wet.” He nuzzled my shoulder. “And all for me.”

He slipped a third finger into me, slowly rotating his wrist to test the give at various angles and make sure I was ready for his cock. I shivered and kept a steady rock of my hips against his hand. I tried to fuck myself on those fingers, but he pulled away and I groaned at the loss.

“Impatient?”

“Pretty much always, yeah.”

“We’ll have to work on that.” He grabbed my hips and pressed his cock to lie between my ass cheeks. Assuming you want to keep me around .

“No opposition to that, but right now I need you to fuck me before I implode.”

Caden laughed and angled himself so the tip of his cock nudged my entrance. I held my breath, reveling in the pressure as he eased slowly in. The pop, pop of the first two ridges sliding in was heaven . I panted, eager to feel the other gorgeously textured ridges gliding into me.

My arms shook as I held myself up, using the headboard for balance. “Holy shit.”

Caden put his forehead against my hair. “You feel exquisite .”

He kept moving, so slowly that I was keenly aware of every single ridge breaching my pussy. We both shuddered as he slid home, hips pressing against mine when he was fully seated.

“Ready?” He nipped my shoulder and I craned my neck so I could kiss him.

“Ready!” I wiggled my hips.

Caden angled away, pulling out only the ridged base, and shoved back in.

I bit my lip to smother my gasp. He leaned closer, resting his teeth against my shoulder, the pinpricks of his fangs sending a thrill of intoxicating panic up my spine.

His hips snapped again and forced a guttural sound from me.

I was hyperaware of every movement, felt each individual ridge tease the inside of my pussy, textured and shaped like the ideal sex toy, but with the warmth and force of a person far stronger than me.

He moved slowly, getting acquainted with how my body worked, testing out angles until he found one that had me panting like I was running a gods-damned marathon.

Once he’d found that spot, he kept up a steady rhythm, pulling me up that steep and glorious slope of pleasure.

Tension coiled, a blazing live wire that drove me higher.

I keened and cursed, digging into the headboard so hard my fingertips burned.

The bed frame was already protesting, but so far holding up like a champ.

He drove in hard and I swore I almost ascended to another plane of existence.

“Sweet fuck .” I dropped my forehead to my arm and tried to keep myself together.

The slick sound and rippled glide unraveled my coherency thread by thread until I was fully supporting myself on the headboard, begging for every thrust. The ridges dragged inside, scratching a deep itch I hadn’t realized was there until I was half sobbing.

Color?

“Gods, f-fucking green . I’m gonna die.”

He reached around and slid his fingers against my clit. My pussy gave a sharp squeeze and he muttered a “fuck.”

“Yes, fuck, right there, Caden. Don’t change anything.”

I was sweaty and shaking, desperately thrusting my hips to meet him.

He stroked my clit in quick circles and my orgasm whipped me over that dangerous edge.

My pussy snared him tightly and he choked out a groan, burying his face into the curve of my throat, as he kept working on my clit.

He sucked at the pulse point and scraped his stubble over my skin.

I whined, tossing my head back to give him better access.

Black spots danced in my vision.

The bed frame gave a concerning crack , but thankfully didn’t fuck up our groove by collapsing.

Caden tossed me over that edge of pleasure again, never letting my clit rest, and this time he buried himself deeply, warmth blooming from the tip of him inside me.

We stayed like that, sweating and panting, until he gently pulled away, easing his cock free.

I shuddered as each ridge came out, teasing me on its exit.

I sank down onto the bed, flopping to the side.

Caden curled around me. He nestled against my hair and breathed in deeply, his whole body relaxing on his exhale.

I was so damn comfortable, and more than satisfied, riding a soft cloud of bliss. I got extra melty when Caden started to murmur sweet nothings in my ear.

“You’re perfect. Hotter”—he distracted me with light touches over my skin—“and sweeter than I could have imagined.”

I hummed happily. My pussy was very aware of its emptiness, leaving me with a dull, pleasant ache. I sighed and stretched slowly, totally content to not move an inch.

Seth hopped up on the bed and I froze.

Turnip’s hungry.

I groaned and buried my face in my pillow. I wasn’t sure I could even stand, let alone walk.

Caden kissed my shoulder. “I’ll feed them. I watched you do it enough to know how.”

I murmured my thanks and let myself sprawl.

Seth settled into a loaf and insta-purred when I reached out a tired hand to pet him.

I probably should have cared that I was naked, that I had love bites on my throat, and that the remnants of our fucking were sliding out of my pussy and onto the blanket, but I was too tired for that nonsense.

Seth had said they couldn’t feel attraction for humans in their cat form so it was difficult to be bothered by his presence.

I was half-asleep when Caden returned. I rolled toward him when his weight dipped the mattress, and he ran a warm cloth between my thighs, tidying up the state he’d left me in before wiping the blanket as well.

“Want a bath?” he asked, leaning down to kiss me.

Moving seemed like a bad idea. “Only if you carry me there.”

Caden laughed against my skin. “Okay. Give me a second to get it running.”

Don’t forget to make him take his nasty-ass medicine . Seth inched closer.

I snared him into a snuggle. “That reminds me you have to take yours too.”

He wriggled in my arms but I curled into a ball, trapping him. Forget I said anything.

“Too late. Caden, bring Seth’s medicine when you come back.”

Seth sank mournfully into my embrace. They should make it nice flavors.

“I tried to mix it in with the wet food and you ate around it.”

Yeah, that’s because it taints everything it touches .

I snorted. “It’s only for a few more days. We have to make sure you stay on the road to health.”

Fine. Can I have tuna after as a reward?

“You got it.”

Seth stiffened in my arms when Caden returned and passed me the medicine. I wrestled the pill in, closing Seth’s mouth over it.

Cruelty!

“Hush. Swallow it and I’ll let you go.” His throat bobbed under my fingers and I freed him. I turned to Caden. “Can you take yours in this form?”

“Shouldn’t be a problem.”

I handed him one of the pills. “I trust I don’t have to wrestle you into submission to make you swallow this.”

Caden grinned. “You can do that just for fun.” He swallowed the pill, making a disgusted face. “Equally terrible in this form.”

I lounged with Seth until the bath was ready and Caden carried me over, helping me into the water.

“Want some company?” he asked.

“I like company.”

Caden slipped into the bath behind me and gathered me into his arms. I settled in comfortably, closing my eyes.

He traced soft patterns on my skin, his purr gently coaxing me into exhausted bliss.

I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been this relaxed.

Though, to be fair, I didn’t think I’d ever had the potent combination of being fed, fucked, and then soaked in a hot bath with a gorgeous man—shifter—before.

I fell asleep at some point and woke to Caden nuzzling my cheek, the water tepid around us. Seth was loafing on the edge of the tub when I opened my eyes.

No one gave me tuna.

I laughed, breaking the quiet. “If I can walk when I get out of here, I’ll grab it for you. Otherwise you have to harass your brother for it.”

Seth let out a plaintive meow. I reached a damp hand toward him and scratched behind his ears.

Seth hopped down from the edge, running into the kitchen while Caden helped me up, and I stood placidly while he toweled me dry, distracting me through the process with cheeky touches and lingering kisses.

Tuna!

I pulled on my robe to wander into the kitchen, where Seth paced impatiently. “I wish my needs were this simple.”

Walnut brain makes me focus on food . I’d be more complex if I were in human form.

I dug out the can opener and some tuna, busting it open for Seth. He chomped down on it the second I got it on the floor. Caden followed a moment later, wearing only a towel. But then, it wasn’t like he had much else to wear with his borrowed pants in the wash.

“I’ll go to the store on my lunch break and pick you up some stuff to wear.”

“I’d appreciate that. I can hang out without clothes in either cat form, but it’s not quite as comfortable to do that in this one.

” He sighed and came to stand next to me, watching his brother stuff his face on tuna.

“I’d offer to pay for it, but I’d have to go to a nest to access what money I still have. ”

“That’s okay. I’ll be your sugar mama for a while.”

That must have caught him off guard because he snorted and laughed so hard he choked.

I wasn’t perky for much longer and Caden was bundling me off to bed. “You sleep tonight. I’ll handle the kittens.”

“You don’t have to.”

“It’s literally the least I can do.” He stripped me out of my robe and put me horizontal, tucking the blankets around me. “Sleep.”

Helpless to do anything but obey, I did.
