Chapter 43
Chapter Forty-Three
That night I suggest Caroline and Josiah should go home so they can have some time to themselves.
They have been so busy helping us, I sometimes forgot they have their own lives.
Caroline and Josiah bid farewell after dinner, promising to be back bright and early in the morning.
One thing I’m most thankful for, though, is that Caroline has helped get Thaddeus into a more regular sleep routine.
He only got up once or twice during the night now instead of every hour, making nighttime easier and allowing everyone to get some decent sleep.
Carrying Thaddeus into the kitchen, I make him a bottle, Theo and Tobias keep offering to take him, which is becoming a little annoying. They refuse to leave me alone with him and it is getting on my nerves.
“Here, I can take him, you make the bottle,” Theo says, holding out his arms expectantly.
“I’m fine, Theo. I can make a bottle with one hand,” I tell him, ignoring him and grabbing the baby formula off the bench.
Thaddeus keeps pulling my hair while I make his bottle, and I have to keep untangling his little fingers.
When I’m done, I settle on the couch and flick on the TV, finding something to watch.
Feeding Thaddeus with his bottle, I can hear Tobias and Theo talking in hushed voices before they turn up in the lounge room. Tobias sits next to me rubbing Thaddeus’s feet and when he finishes his bottle, I stand to burp him while walking up the stairs to change his bum.
“Did you leave Mommy a present?” I ask him, laying him down on our bed. He coos softly while I take him out of his onesie.
“I can change him,” Tobias says, stepping into the room.
I reach for the nappy and wipes, ignoring him.
Thaddeus sucks on his thumb, slobbering all over it.
I pull it from his mouth only for him to pop it straight back in there.
Sighing, I quickly change him before tossing the nappy to Tobias to chuck in the bin.
He disappears downstairs, returning before I even have a chance to pick Thaddeus back up.
“Want me to put him down to bed?”
“No, Tobias, I know what I am doing,” I tell him, becoming frustrated. Theo steps into the room, watching from the doorway.
“What?” I ask, annoyed that they keep hovering.
“You need to feed, Imogen,” Theo says, making me roll my eyes at his tone and his answer. I felt fine. I’m hungry, but I not ravenous, and I have control.
“I’m fine, I will after I put Thaddeus to sleep,” I tell them sitting on the edge of the bed.
Rocking back and forth, I watch as Thaddeus's eyes get heavier before they blink back open from the light beaming down on him.
“Can you turn off the light and get out?” I tell them. Theo flicks off the light, but neither of them leave. I continue to rock Thaddeus and once I think he is asleep, I go to move and transfer him to his basinet only for Tobias to wake him as he tries taking him from me.
“What are you doing? You’re waking him,” I tell him, smacking his hands away. He holds his hands up in surrender, and I place him in his bed, wrapping him up and tucking him in. Walking to the door, I leave it slightly ajar before walking downstairs.
Grabbing his bottle from where it lay on the lounge, I walk to the kitchen to sterilize it. Theo and Tobias follow me like a shadow.
“What the hell is your problem,” I say, turning to them.
“You need to feed, Imogen. It has been hours since Astral brought you back. I know you’re hungry, we can feel it,” Tobias says.
“I am fine, Tobias, you didn’t need to keep trying to take him from me. I won’t hurt my son,” I growl pissed off.
“We don’t want to risk you hurting him. See how fast you flip?” Theo says.
“I am angry because you were hovering, I am capable of looking after him.”
“We didn’t say you aren’t, just not while you’re like this.”
“You made me like this from trying to take over, Theo. I was fine right until now,” I said, placing the bottle in the sterilizer and turning it on.
Moving to the kettle, I turn it on. Grabbing the mugs, I make coffee. Tobias’s arms wrapping around my waist.
“Don’t be upset, we just don‘t want you to accidentally hurt him.”
“The only people who will get hurt around here is you two, if you don’t back the fuck off,” I tell him, shrugging him off.
I hear him growl before Theo tugs him away.
I feel more in control this time, maybe because I can’t feel the darkness tainting my magic and I have had my emotions pretty in check considering how annoyed I am.
I feel cold hands brush my hair over my shoulder before feeling cold lips on my neck, kissing and sucking on my skin, making my core pulse with arousal. I try to pour the scalding water in the mugs. But his lips are very distracting.
“We are sorry, Imogen, we just don’t want a repeat of last time,” he says against the crook of my neck. I feel his hands move to my skirt, pushing it up my legs.
“Theo, don’t, I’m trying to make coffee, I have things to do.”
“Like what?” He mumbles against my skin before sucking my earlobe into his mouth and biting down.
His lips then going to my chin as he nips at it.
I turn around to shove him away when he grips my hips, lifting me and forcing my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck to stop from falling and hitting the bench.
Theo walks to the island bench, my ass hitting the cold marble as he fists my panties before ripping them off.
“Theo. Seriously I have things to do, I need to put the clothes in the dryer,” I tell him only to see Tobias sitting on the stool watching with hungry eyes.
“It will still be there when I am done,” he says, ignoring me.
Tobias stands and moves around the island bench, so he is behind me.
I suddenly feel him grip my shoulders, pulling me down, before I feel him plunge his tongue into my mouth.
Moaning against his warm lips, I give up.
Theo pushes my legs apart and I feel him part my lips with his tongue before sucking on my clit.
I moan, my back arching off the bench only for Tobias to push me back down.
His lips attack my mark on my neck, sending pleasure throughout, making my toes curl.
Theo lifts his head slightly, and I grip his hair before shoving him back down.
“Don’t stop, Theo” I moan.
He chuckles before I feel his tongue dive back in, before swirling around my clit.
My grip on his hair tightens as I feel my skin heat up. I moan loudly as I’m plunged over the edge, my orgasm rippling through me, and I grind my hips against Theo’s face as I ride out my orgasm.
Sitting up, I wiggle my skirt down before hopping off the bench.
“What about us?” Theo pouts and I stand on my tippy toes and peck his lips.
“Next time don’t piss me off,” I chuckle, walking back over to retrieve my coffee.
“Oh, no you don’t. You’re not getting out of it that easily,” Tobias says, moving so fast I don’t even make it two steps before I am thrown over his shoulder.
He bites the side of my ass through my skirt.
Looking up, I see Theo walking behind us with an amused expression on his face.
Tobias steps into the spare bedroom dumping me on the bed and pulls off his shirt before tearing my skirt up the side.
“Hey, I liked that one,” I tell him as he throws it on the ground.
“I will get you another, now be a good girl and open them legs for me.” I shake my head defiantly, a smile on my lips before I cross my legs. He raises an eyebrow before gripping my knees and pulling them apart.
“Do you want me to punish you?” he growls.
“Maybe,” I smile and watch his eyes darken as he smiles seductively.
Theo moves onto the bed, making the bed dip. Tobias grips my ankles and yanks me to the end of the bed before flipping me over, my toes just touching the floor and my ass in the air. I looked to Theo, who is watching with an amused expression on his face.
“What’s so funny?” I ask. Before I hear it. The sound of flesh on flesh as Tobias slaps my ass with his hand. The burning sensation makes me hiss at the sudden pain radiating from my ass, which I’m pretty sure has the full outline of his hand now embedded in my left cheek.
“Son of a, that fucking hurt,” I scream before trying to scramble up the bed and away from him. Tobias gripped my hips, pulling me back down on the bed before leaning over me. The warmth of his chest seeping into my back. His hand runs up the outside of my thigh to my hip.
“You should know better than to tease me,” he growls into my ear before leaning back and pulling my hips up.
Thaddeus lets out a noise from the bedroom and I look toward the door before rolling over and trying to get up.
“Saved by the baby,” I tell him before going to get up. Theo suddenly darts out of the room, shutting the door behind him. I huff in annoyance and Tobias smiles triumphantly.
“Looks like you’re all mine now,” he says before climbing onto the bed while I keep scooting backward toward the headboard.
His hands gripping thighs before pulling me under him.
I feel his hard length against my pussy as he moves, rubbing his cock between my wet folds to my clit.
I wiggle my hips and wrap my legs around his waist, tugging him toward me.
