Chapter 56 Missed You
Kai and Alaric came running out the front doors of the pack house moments later.
“Is everything taken care of for now?” Thea said.
“Yes. Maggie is getting a block of rooms prepared, a room of clothes, and she’ll be hiring additional help in the kitchens and laundry,” Alaric said. Maggie was the pack house manager.
“The doctor is on it too.”
Thea ran her hands up his hard abs, all the way behind his head, to pull him in for a kiss. “Thank you,” she said.
She turned to Kai and held out her hand. “Have something for me?”
Kai reached into his pocket and handed her three condoms. She put them in her pocket.
“Well, strip boys,” she said.
“Right here?” Alaric said.
“You don’t want to rip your clothes when you shift, do you?”
“Right.”
The boys stripped, leaving their clothes in a pile off to the side, and shifted into their wolves. They all came and nuzzled her, licked her face, smelled her hair and their marks.
“I missed you too,” she said.
“Let’s get out of here.” They all laid down so she could climb onto their backs.
“Okay, Caleb, you lead. Axel, I’m riding you. Damon, you bring up the rear.” She looked at Damon.
“And Kai, you keep getting crazy. I want you riled up later,” she thought to him.
Damon jumped up, tongue hanging out of his mouth. Thea smiled and climbed onto Axel. When she was secure, Caleb took off, followed by Axel, then Damon.
They ran through the woods, Delta team guards flanking them. Caleb sniffed out a secluded spot with lots of tree coverage, and they stopped. Thea laid still against Axel for a moment, catching her breath. She felt him breathing under her. She ran her fingers through the fur of his back.
Axel laid down, and Thea slid off. She lost her balance and fell on her butt, laughing. Her legs, arms, and abs were shaking. She lost muscle and stamina over the last month. Riding Axel took a lot out of her.
“Okay, Alaric was right. I’m still not a hundred percent,” she said.
Axel sniffed her to make sure she was okay, no cuts, no blood. Damon came up and did the same.
“I’m okay. I’m going to lay down, though,” she said. Axel laid down next to her, head on his paws, looking at her.
Caleb came up and lay at her other side. She reached out to both wolves, and they nuzzled into her.
Damon paced back and forth at her feet.
Caleb and Axel shifted back to Conri and Alaric.
They scooted up against her on their sides, naked, and started caressing her.
Thea pulled Alaric in for a kiss. They were so gentle with her the past month, ever since she almost died. She knew they needed this. So did she. Even though she spent a lot of the last month sleeping, the need to be close to them was only getting more intense because of her marks. When two of them would leave for school every day, it had been painful.
“Will you make love to me, Ric?” Thea said softly.
He nodded and kissed her. “You’ll let me know if it’s too much?”
“I think you’ll feel it through the matebond, but yeah.”
“Good point.”
Conri and Alaric started undressing Thea. She looked at Damon pacing.
“Damon, what are you thinking?” Thea said in just her underwear. Damon stopped and looked at her.
“He’s thinking it’s too soon, and we shouldn’t be doing this yet,” Conri said. “Is he right?”
“He can’t stand the thought of us hurting you,”
Alaric said.
“You won’t hurt me. The doctor said it was okay. I just need to listen to my body. We can try, Damon. They’ll be gentle and careful.”
Damon came up, nuzzled, and licked her stomach.
