“How much longer until he hatches?” she asked. I checked the logs and the growth rate. Everything was looking pretty good.
“Probably eighty more days.” That was my best guess according to the charts, but babies have a tendency to come when they’re ready, not a moment sooner or later.
“So, plenty more time.” She looked sort of sad.
“Hey,” I said, pushing her head up to look at me. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”
“Oh, it’s nothing,” she breathed. Turning away from me.
“Come here, my pet, and tell me what’s wrong. I can feel the sadness running off you.” Justice said.
Morrigan went to him. He was now sitting in a chair. She crawled right up in his lap, putting her head on his shoulder. I wanted that. I felt the whimper building in my chest.
“Not now Jasper, our mate needs to be comforted.” Justice said, clearly feeling the possessive rush as it passed through me. I wasn’t jealous of him. I just wanted some of that, too.
He was right though; I dragged my chair so it was next to theirs. I sat with my thighs touching Justice just in the hopes she would share with me a little. I brought my hand up to rub her back as she cuddled into Justice’s neck. This was better. At least I was touching her, too.
“It just feels like I was supposed to have my very own fairy tale, and it’s really fucking messy,” she admitted.
“There isn’t always a happily ever after, and sometimes there is for only a short while. We have lived eternal lives. Days flow in and days flow out. Some days are good ones, and some are bad, but it’s the in-between ones you need to appreciate more. Stop trying to map out a future when all it does is waste today,” Justice said as an answer to her. It seemed to have comforted her, and she nodded into his neck.
“So, tomorrow morning, and every morning after that, I get to wake up and face him. How is that supposed to make me excited for the day?” she said after a while.
“Take your time and wear him down, princess,” I laughed. So much drama about Jax.
“I don’t want to wear him down. I want him to be with me because I’m the one person he wants the most in the entire universe,” she said, sitting up to look at me as she spoke.
“Princess, that’s exactly how he feels about you. Isn’t it Justice?” I looked over to Justice with a smile, knowing he would back me, because that was exactly how we both felt about her.
Justice nodded in agreement, and Morrigan frowned.
“Wear down those walls of lies he’s hiding behind. Start small, find out something personal about him.” Justice suggested. He was a little better at advice giving, since he felt emotions all the time. I just thought it would be easier if she seduced him. Once he tasted her, he wouldn’t let go.
“I can do that,” she said, nodding in agreement. She wiggled her ass a little, so she was partially sitting on my leg, too. “You know we might need to get a couch in here or something for when we’re all cuddly.” She wiggled her ass again, and I put my hand on her hip to stop her. Unless she was giving an open invitation, she would need to calm it down a bit.
“No couches,” Justice said firmly. He had always been like that, but never gave a reason. “We could build a nest.”
“Fuck Justice, spend more time in a demon body than those fucking birds.” I laughed. Fucking psycho.
“I like the nests,” Morrigan said, wiggling her ass again, this time rubbing against my dick. My grip on her hip tightened, and she sat up and looked at me with questioning eyes.
“You’re going to need to stop doing that, unless Justice didn’t leave you quite satisfied.” I looked down at the growing bulge in my slacks, in case she didn’t get what I was saying.
“Oh,” she said, jumping up off both our laps. “Sorry, I was just trying to get comfortable. I’m quite satisfied with this evening.” Her cheeks reddened a little, and it was just too fucking cute.
“Don’t worry Jasper, I got her again in the shower, too. She should be good for a while.” Justice said with a smile. Fuck twice, really.
Morrigan had a scowl on her face. “You guys really tell each other what we do?”
“Well yeah, we already talked about this, remember. You said it was fine as long as we weren’t fighting.” I reminded her.
She shook her head, “I guess I’ll have to get used to it.”
“Or maybe you can fuck both of us, so we don’t have to bother sharing the details after,” I shrugged. I hadn’t been to an orgy in eons.
She gave me a smirk, “maybe one day.”
So fucking perfect.
