Ciro

Torvan was tied hands and feet to the bed where Teal and I should’ve been ravishing each other. The giant lizard was still out cold from the tranq but that didn’t mean I wasn’t fighting off the urge to eviscerate him.

“You could’ve let Guardie do it,” Teal said.

“Huh?”

“You’re muttering under your breath while you pace, mate,” he said from the spot he spent the last hour leaning in the doorway at. “You knocked him out. Thought you agreed with me.”

“At the time I did. I wanted to question him or see him locked up. Except you haven’t even called your grandparents yet. You won’t let me call them! I’m going to get fired for real if Medwin finds out the cabin was attacked, and I didn’t let him know.”

“Well, he can fire you from being a guard, but he’ll have to put up with you forever because you’re my mate.”

“See that would be sexy if this sweaty idiot wasn’t tied up in our bed. I want one of us to be that idiot. The one tied up in the bed!” I said and words devolved into a hiss.

I was hard again. And slick. And sick of everything under the sun standing between me and Teal. How was I supposed to know it would take Morvan so long to come pick up his twin? Would Teal even let him take him? What was the plan?

“What’s the plan?” I finally broke down and asked Teal.

I stopped in my tracks and faced him head on for as long as I could stand looking at his stupid, handsome face.

I wanted to pounce him and rip his clothes off.

I should. The idiot in the bed could just watch if he woke up and thank us for the honor.

Teal was in a rut. He smelled too fucking good.

He was too fucking hard for this and all I could think about was how his thick erection felt pressed up all snug against my tongue.

This is why omegas didn’t get to be guards.

“This is why they don’t let omegas guard,” I said.

“You didn’t hear a word I said, huh, mate?” Teal took a step toward me.

“No,” I admitted.

“Okay. This is why they invented mate leave, okay?” he said, taking my hands in his.

He was warm to the touch and this up close and personal his scent was all I smelled. He was warm and metallic. He was fucking perfect and he was mine but this lug nut and his brother kept us apart. My eyes stung. Was I actually so fucking horny I was about to break down and fucking cry?

“My grandparents will know about it,” he said, pulling away one hand to wipe my eyes.

“When Indigo gets here, they’ll know because the driver will call them.

It’ll get fixed. Torvan will get arrested.

He’ll probably do some time, okay? I didn’t’ save him from all punishment. Just from Cobalt ripping him asunder.”

“If he does it again, I’m going to rip his balls out through his asshole,” I groaned and laid my forehead against my mate’s shoulder.

“Want me to get you off?” he whispered. “You’re not the only one who knows how to regenerate brain cells.”

“What if Indigo and Morvan get here while we’re doing stuff?” I whispered.

“Then, if they don’t knock, they’ll see stuff. It’ll be their own faults,” he said, squeezing my hand. “We’ll pull the curtains on the bed so Torvan can’t see anything if he wakes up and…”

“What about us?” Indigo asked from the doorway.

Teal tightened his grip on my hand as I nearly charged his brother. Startling a liger was never a good idea. We fought first and worried about the details after our bellies were full.

“Uh… I was just telling him you could watch if you were that damn nosy,” Teal said.

“Found out firsthand what you did,” Indigo said, holding up a hand still covered in dried blood splotches.

“Take a shower before you touch your kid,” I chimed in.

“You told him before you told me?” Indigo sighed. “Really? Him before me? Everyone and their grandmother before me?”

“Not everyone,” Teal dropped my hand and headed over to his brother.

“I told Cobalt because he wouldn’t leave it be.

I only told Ciro because I knew you’d say something when you came back.

Our grandparents don’t know. They can’t and they won’t.

They won’t know anything because there is a giant hole in the front of the cabin.

You saw it. Chanley is on the phone right now calling them.

Medwin will be pissed. Clarence will be helping with Torvan.

So, things will get cleaned up. I’m sorry you had to be the one to do it.

I would’ve went to pick up Morvan but you insisted.

If you had let me stay, I’d have been the one to do it and it wouldn’t have bothered me, Indi.

That’s what you don’t get. I don’t mind killing monsters because if someone killed the monsters before they got our carrier’s parents, Baby Robin would have two sets of great grandparents, and we’d have a lot less trauma in our blood.

I can’t go back and do that but holy Frost in the Pit, I’ll do my damndest to make sure it doesn’t happen to us.

Our old therapist, Marcus, would say it’s all generational trauma and maybe he’s right.

But that means it has to go somewhere and I’m spending it wisely.

I’m spending it on every asshole I come across who thinks they can play the gods of life and death.

Baby Robin hasn’t fucked over anyone. He hasn’t been out of the bloody nesting tower, brother.

For someone to think it’s okay to even joke or post about hurting him is out of the question.

And this,” he picked up his brother’s blood splotched hand, “tells me you agree with me. Now you and Morvan need to shower. Take him with you because he knows how to scrub out the scent of blood. If Ambry gets jealous, I’ll take the rap for it.

And let me handle our grandparents, okay?

If our parents call, get our sire on the line and explode a little bit about how I endangered the baby. Keep them distracted.”

“Okay,” Indigo nodded, looking more confused than ever.

Morvan peeked in on his brother and jerked his head for Indigo to follow him to get cleaned up.

“So much for getting off, huh?” I groaned. “You’re going to be the death of me.”

“Here,” he said and jogged across the bedroom to a walk-in closet and pulled me inside with him.

“I wanted the first time I got you off to be romantic. We’ll just have to save that for our claiming vows, though.

I need you to think straight. You need you to think straight.

Guards are going to descend on this place soon.

Medwin can’t be mad at you. I was distracting you.

I planned on distracting you even more than I had the chance to.

” He made quick work of my fly as he spoke.

The cool air from a nearby vent played over my skin but Teal’s fingers were warm to the touch as they wrapped around my shaft. ”

“Can you come like this, or do you need something inside you too?” he asked, and I bit my lip hard before speaking.

“If you keep talking like that I’m going to cum in your hand before anything happens,” I told him through gritted teeth.

“Want me to keep talking then?”

“You fucking better,” I hissed. “Talk or next time I’ll fucking take it with me when I go.”

He laughed but his fingers wrapped more tightly around my shaft. I hissed out a breath filled with pleasure and longing. His fist slid the length of my dick squeezing hard.

“What could I put inside of you to make you cum faster? Does it need to be my dick or would a finger or toy do?” he asked. “I’d bet you were the kind of guy that has a whole toy box at home, huh? Probably even ones with those flexible barbs that mimic feline dicks in the wild?”

I blushed too hard and gave myself away.

“How do you --- how do you even know about those?” I had to try twice to get the words out as Teal’s tight fist worked me over.

“Cobalt is my brother. There aren’t many sex toys I don’t know about. I was relieved to find out the barbs were more for decoration and sensation and didn’t grab on,” he chuckled.

“Do you knot?” I asked him, rocking my hips in time with his big fist.

“Sometimes,” he nodded. “Half wolf and all of that. Maybe that’s how I’ll make sure you remember our first time. Tie you to the bed like an idiot and knot you.”

“Oh fuck me,” I cried out and shoved my fist against my mouth to quiet myself down.

Outside trucks were rolling in and the wingbeats above the house were unmistakenly Medwin Moonscale’s and he smelled pissed.

His angry scent nearly hid Clarence and the others but I couldn’t stop thrusting my hips. I was so fucking close.

“Tied to the bed, huh? My feet tied up by my head, huh?” I asked.

“And you’re all exposed and whimpering because you’re so Frost damn slick and driving me fucking crazy with your scent? Yeah.”

With his free hand, Teal grabbed a shirt off the rack and caught the mess I made as all the pent-up desire squirted out of my dick.

“That’s it. You cum for me. Cum for me like a good pussy cat.”

“Yes. Yes. Yes.” The word stuck to my tongue leaving me unable to say anything else for several long seconds.

“TEAL? CIRO!? ARE YOU OKAY?” Medwin bellowed from the other side of the closet door.

Torvan murmured something half asleep on the bed.

“Grandpa, remember all that stuff you thought I’d be busy with? Well, I’m wrapping some of that up. Can you ask someone to bring Ciro up a snack? Maybe some water or a sports drink? Please? I know this is bad timing, but we barely had time to say hi before Torvan showed up and fucked us over.”

“Alright. Five minutes and wrap it up! This isn’t fair to anyone, but I need eyes on you two to make sure you are okay!

Indigo says you two were the ones closest to the explosion.

Was Dolores here? Of course she wasn’t here!

She finally took a few days off! At least she didn’t get blown up!

” Medwin said, stomping away from the closet door.
