Mate Sandwich & Surprise Breakfast
SHASTA
I wake up feeling very warm and safe snuggled between my two mates. Three days ago I never thought I’d be here, that's for sure. I listen to both of them breathe lightly in the morning sunlight. It’s glinting off the strands of gold in Ethan's hair. The lighter brown strands in Kadi’s look almost caramel colored. They are…for lack of a better word…beautiful. Ethan stirs and opens his blue eyes and smiles at me a little before frowning.
“What time is it?” he asks, voice still husky from sleep.
“Early, maybe six or so?”
He wraps an arm around my waist and presses his face against me, inhaling deeply.
“Gods but you smell delicious,” he growls.
Kadi chuckles behind me. “Big difference from yesterday huh?”
Ethan growls at him and says, “I’m hard headed okay?”
We all laugh and I slide down to the end of the bed, stretching my arms in the air and arching my back. It’s going to take some getting used to having a man on either side of me in bed. I’m a little stiff. Of course, I’ve also had more sex the last couple days than I’ve had in two years too.
I stand and head to the bathroom. I do my business and then turn on the shower and step in. Since the shop is still closed, I guess we can just head to Grams’ and see if she’s had any luck with the locator spell yet.
Thinking about my dad, I feel my eyes tear up. He’s alive. After all of these years missing him and watching my mom almost lose her mind completely, it feels surreal. Now we just have to find him before we really do lose him for good.
I’m very glad my mom isn’t the one that has premonitions because I don’t think she could handle this. It’s so hard keeping it from her, but I don’t like to think about what might happen if they end up killing him for real before we can get to him. The little stunt Logan pulled last night makes me nervous. The last thing I want is for there to be some kind of retaliation for me not going with him. I’ll go there, wherever there is, but it will be on our terms.
I finish, deciding to save some time and use my magic to dry myself and my hair. Stepping out into the bedroom I realize the guys have gotten up and are probably getting ready in the other room. I showed them where the guest bedroom was before we went to bed last night. They put the things Laken brought over for them in the closet. Obviously they are going to sleep with me when they are here, but they need their own space too.
I throw on a pair of soft black leggings and an oversized purple sweater. Grabbing my platform boots, I walk down the hall to the living room and see Ethan dressed and making breakfast. It smells delicious.
“You cook too?” I ask, with surprise.
“Well, you know, we had to survive somehow without someone cooking for us all this time. I actually like cooking though. I’m not too shabby at it either. I’ll have to make a good dinner for you soon as a date night,” he says with a wink.
I freeze. A date night with Ethan? He hated me yesterday and today we are talking about date night. Talk about a roller coaster. Walking over to him, I wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his chest.
“Thank you for giving me a chance. I know that was hard for you,” I whisper.
He rubs my back softly and buries his face in my hair. “No, thank you for giving me one after the way I acted.”
I pull away and look up at him. He kisses the tip of my nose and I giggle a little. Smacking his butt I turn and find a spot to sit down, reaching for the coffee, my creamer, and sugar. He set out some whipped cream too, so I build my coffee and then sip it in delight while I watch my mate cook.
Kadi comes out not too long later rubbing his hair with a towel, no shirt on. My mouth goes dry as I look at his chest and abs. Clenching my legs together, I look from one to the other and they chuckle at me under their breath.
Gods dammit. Their damn noses again.
Rolling my eyes, I take another sip of my coffee and Kadi drops on the stool next to me after putting his towel away.
“What’s the plan, Little Lioness?”
“Heading to Grams’. Two birds, one stone? We can see if she’s done the locator spell yet and Ethan can get a little immersion therapy at the same time in a less stressful situation than yesterday. I also want to take another look at the wand. If it isn’t messed up with black magic, I’ll add it to my collection of extra magic I have now,” I say, gesturing to my tattoo-covered wrist.
“Sounds like a good plan to me,” Ethan says, dropping a couple plates of bacon, fried eggs, and a couple pancakes in front of each of us and himself. He sits on the other side of me and we all tuck into our food.
Oh my Gods, these are possibly the fluffiest pancakes I have ever had in my life and I moan a little in enjoyment.
“Well,” Ethan clears his throat and adjusts himself in his pants, “if you’re gonna moan like that every time I cook, I’ll do it three times a day, maybe even five, or ten.” He winks. Cheeky fucker.
Kadi wags his eyebrows at me and takes another bite, licking his lips slowly as a payback for the moan. They are definitely going to be the death of me. But I must say, dying being pleasured with barbed peens like theirs isn’t a bad way to go.
Kicking my feet a little under the table, I enjoy this bit of banter and happiness. I have a feeling when we get to Grams’ and find out where my dad is, the day is going to get significantly worse.
