Chapter Ten
When we arrive back at my place early the next morning, I'm running on maybe two hours of sleep. I'm also walking a little funny, which amuses Igor to no end. Noah is also entertained as he puffs out his chest.
"Nice going, Casanova." Igor lifts one of her larger leaves so Noah could give her a leaf-five.
"Why, thank you. I did my best to achieve that." He wink at me as he uses two fingers to high five Igor.
“Oh lord, is this going to become a thing between you two?” I press the button to start brewing my tea. “Noah, do you want tea or coffee? I should have some coffee in here somewhere.” Possibly.
"No, tea is fine." Noah comes behind me. I lean against his chest as his arms come around my waist. "When are the other two arriving?"
Handing him my phone, I unlock it for him. "Could you text them for me and see if they're on their way now? I know it's early, so hopefully they're up and on their way already."
I’m taking out a few mugs for the tea as Noah types away on my phone. The water is ready to be poured. My breakfast tea, when I can't make it to the cafe, is just regular tea bags but they do in a pinch. Add some milk or cream and wa-la!
"They should be here any minute." Noah places my phone on the counter as he goes back to holding me from behind with his chin on my shoulder. "This feels nice."
"Yeck. You two are so sugary sweet, you're going to make me barf." Igor puts her two cents in.
"I seriously need to get you a companion." Handing Noah his mug, we move around the counter to sit at the bar. "Think that would keep your commentary of my love life from becoming the central part of your evil mastery?"
Noah bumps his shoulder against mine as we sip the tea. When I woke up next to him this morning in his room, I had to pinch myself to make sure it was real. I pinched him too. Just because. Looking at him next to me now, I can't contain my gleeful smile. He matches it with his own. Something settles in me as we touch foreheads, our mating bond winding itself together gently.
“Aw, you two are so cute, I want to barf. Again,” Igor rumbles from her perch on the countertop across from us.
Before one of us can reply, there’s a knock at my door followed by Dorian walking in with Kieron right behind him. My mind goes a little fuzzy as I stare at the two side by side. They are so opposite, like yin and yang. My mind wanders to being squished between the two.
“Hey, guys.” Noah stands. He shakes Kieron’s hand before pulling Dorian into a hard hug. I'm only a little bit sad they don’t kiss.
Kieron comes over to me. He sits in Noah’s spot and turns toward me. My hand reaches out to touch his cheek without thinking about it. His day old scruff is still there. it's scratchy, but I really enjoy the texture. His hand covers mine as our eyes meet.
“Good morning, beautiful.” His white teeth flash. “I have to say, I’m feeling a little jealous. I can smell the other two on you, but I’ve yet to even kiss you yet.”
Oh, there goes the butterflies inside my stomach. I grin at him. I'm going to embrace my mates. Not because I want to fix my magic, which I do, but also because I'm ready to be loved and love back.
“I think we can remedy that, don’t you?” Feeling bold, I stand from the barstool. I'm now eye level with him while he sits.
He raises his eyebrow at me but doesn’t say anything. I lean forward and kiss him. It feels like I'm falling as he opens his mouth to mine. He lets me take control, which makes me even hotter. Changing the angle of my head to kiss him deeper, I feel him lift me like I weigh nothing onto the kitchen countertop. Then he is standing over me, gripping my waist with his hands. I can feel my lips becoming swollen.
When he pulls me between his legs, a small whimper escapes my throat when I feel his swollen cock. Even through his jeans, I can tell how hard he is. That’s caused by me. That knowledge gives me even more courage as I begin to unbutton his jeans.
“Not that this isn’t hot to watch,” Dorian’s voice is on my right side, “didn’t you say you had something important to discuss with all three of us?”
Kieron pulls away slightly. His breath is still hot against my lips. “Right. Important discussion.” He sighs as he pulls back but keeps his hands on my waist.
Noah is on my left, leaning against the counter. His pupils are blown with desire. Can’t blame him. I’m pretty sure I look like a mess. My heart is racing. I'm ready to rip my clothes off just to let them have their way with me.
“Focus, Iris,” Igor snaps from behind us. “Sexy time with your three mates later.”
Kieron is the first to laugh. Then the other two follow suit. I just smile as I wait for them to stop. Igor really has a way with words.
“Alright.” Clearing my throat, I run my hands down Kieron’s chest. “So, this whole mate thing.” My earlier boldness is wavering.
Dorian runs his hand down my back before moving it up. “Take your time, my love.”
Noah takes my left hand in his while Kieron squeezes his hands on my waist. Even Igor offers her support by not making a snarky comment.
“Since the mating spell from the book activated, my magic has been out of whack. I haven’t been able to use it, basically.”
