Chapter Six #2
“I will?” Really? Did that mean they had to go back to the fae realm? That made Theo feel sick. He wanted to see his friends but Theo didn’t think he would ever want to return to the fae realm ever again. Like ever.
“Bo went with Garrett and Josh but they’ll bring him back tomorrow. Aurelia is settled in your room,” Dario said.
“They’re here?” Theo sat up, nearly smacking his head on Dario’s chin.
Dario ducked back as he laughed. “We wouldn’t leave your new friends behind.”
Theo rubbed his chest. That place where he’d felt himself crack open.
His friends had made the journey home with him.
While Theo loved that for himself, was that what Bo and Aurelia had wanted?
Theo would not be the type of person that kidnapped someone else.
He might have unseelie blood but Theo wouldn’t allow that.
He wasn’t evil. Theo had been on the wrong side of people who did bad things. Theo wanted to be good. Always good.
“They insisted on staying with you,” Dario told him. “Brownies are common in our realm for their abilities to run households for the paranormal. Aurelia will make friends with the other brownies here. It’s also safer for her. She is very sweet.”
“She was,” Theo agreed.
“And Bo is happy to explore a new realm. He is very young so I don’t know if he’ll stay, although I think it will be awhile before he decides to go home,” Dario said.
“How are we going to hide a troll?” Theo asked.
“That was the coolest thing ever!” Wylder bounced the bed with his excitement. He held his hands a few feet apart. “He shrank into a little gnome. Like one of those yard gnomes. We totally have to find him a hat. He’d look so cute!”
“He’s a gnome?” That didn’t make sense. Did his mates somehow get tricked into taking a strange gnome back?
“Trolls have a different form here,” Alek shared. “Here they are gnomes. But once they return home, he’ll get his original form back. There is no danger of him being here. He can enjoy our hospitality here as long as he wishes.”
“That’s cool. And Garrett? Is he back to his original form?” Theo questioned.
“He is. Although Josh was upset he didn’t get to talk to him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Josh takes him home sometime soon. Well once it is safe.” Alek laughed. A rare laugh for hito.
“That’s good.” Theo was happy that his gargoyle friend was back to normal. Speaking of other forms. Theo looked at Mitch. “You were a very fierce demon warrior. I’d hoped that you would still be in your natural form.”
Mitch nodded. “I didn’t know if you would remember. I was worried about scaring you when you woke.”
“I wasn’t scared,” Theo assured him. “I saw a lot in the fae realm that scared me. But never you.”
Leaning forward, Mitch kissed him gently. “Thank you, wildcat.”
“Great. Good,” Wylder said. “I still have questions.”
Theo grabbed Wylder’s hand, just because he could. “Well, first we were attacked by pixies.”
“Pixies!” Wylder shouted.
“In the dark forest,” Theo revealed. “Or they chased us into the dark forest anyway.”
“You got pixies and we got massive beasts that tried to tear our throats out,” Wylder huffed. “That doesn’t seem fair.”
“That was when I first became suspicious of Steve,” Theo said. “I somehow brought our tree with me and Garrett when I was summoned. Steve is a dryad that was spying at is in our tree. He claimed to be Josh’s cousin. I don’t know if that is true or not.”
“It is,” Alek replied. “But the family is large. Josh had many cousins. Not all working with the seelie. Josh confirmed that Steve has been taken by the seelie guards to face judgement. It will be a harsh punishment if convicted for going after a chosen. We have a treaty between the fae and chosen. Steve helped the unseelie king break that.”
“I hate to say it but the little shit deserved what he gets.” Theo might still be a little mad at the betrayal.
“Josh will see to it. Steve never crossed into our realm when Josh was around or he would have known something was wrong.”
“When the pixies attacked, he left us behind.” Theo glanced at Wylder. “They’re like these winged creatures the size of butterflies with fangs and claws. They were so mean!”
“That is where the small cuts came from.” Dario ran a finger over some scratches that Theo still had from the first attack. He’d already spotted numerous bruises from his brother.
“Yeah. Garrett covered me with his body and got it way worse,” Theo admitted.
“We owe him a debt for protecting you,” Alek said. “I’ll make sure my fathers know.”
“Garrett was great. And so cute learning to walk.” Theo would always love that memory. “I’m glad I at least had him.”
Wylder cooed. “Aww!”
Theo nodded. “Steve claimed that the pixies are poisonous to his kind and that’s why he left us. I was suspicious but we didn’t know where to go and he offered to take us to his family where we could at least get into cell phone range. It really sucked that my phone didn’t work.”
“We’ll magically protect the phones to work in every realm. Again, we would have done this before but haven’t had time to get everything in order. That ends now. No one leaves this apartment until we’ve made sure to secure ourselves. I’m not losing another mate again,” Alek stated firmly.
Theo nodded. “I am one hundred percent behind that.”
“Now tell me more!” Wylder shook him.
He laughed. Even though his body still ached and felt heavy, it was awesome to laugh. Theo had known that his mates would come for him. Even being summoned away wasn’t enough to separate them for long.
Theo finished telling his mates about his time in the fae realm, which would have been easier if Wylder didn’t keep interrupting.
Mitch ended up covering Wylder’s mouth and that was just hilarious.
But it worked so Theo could get through his story before Wylder took over telling things from his point of view.
Theo couldn’t believe he missed the sword fighting and Dario transforming into his dragon. For one, Theo loved seeing Mitch wield a sword. And he bet Alek had looked just as hot. Plus, Mitch in his demon warrior form the entire time. Now that totally wasn’t fair.
“Stop pouting.” Dario thumbed Theo’s lip. “I’ll show you my dragon as soon as it’s safe.”
“It’s not fair,” Theo whined.
“It’s not fair?” Dario grabbed Theo’s chin, forcing his eyes up to his. “What is not fair is having my little one taken from me. Never again.”
Theo nodded. That sounded good to him. “Never again.”
Lowering his mouth, Dario smiled. “We missed you.”
“I missed you all too.” Theo barely got the words out before he was being kissed. Oh! Hellcats! This was what Theo really needed from his mates.
Theo sucked on Dario’s tongue even as firm calloused hands fit under his shirt. Mitch. He knew Mitch was the one touching him. Strong fingers that knew how hard to press and tease his nipples.
Throwing his head back, Theo gasped as lips attacked his neck. Wylder. Theo’s human mate loved to suck on Theo’s neck.
Dario urged Theo to his knees and pushed Theo’s pajama pants down. Theo’s cock twitched when the cool air hit him but Alek wrapped his warm fingers around Theo’s shaft and stroked.
Every mate that belonged to Theo was touching him.
This was amazing.
Theo had missed his mates. It might have only been a day in the human realm as Dario had explained to him but it felt like so much longer. Too long.
Mitch’s fingers pinched and teased Theo’s nipples as Alek stroked him. Wylder sucked on his neck while Dario kissed him. It was mind-whirling and exciting. All his mates concentrating on him.
Throwing his head back, Theo yelled as a warm mouth surrounded his cock.
Theo gave a tentative thrust of his hips.
“That’s right, baby,” Dario encouraged. His voice low and rough.
He bit his lip as he glanced at Dario. Admittedly, Theo didn’t have a whole lot of experience in bed. Or even out of bed. He knew what he wanted. The connection and bond with his mates was everything. Made Theo feel safe and loved.
“I’ve got the lube,” Wylder whispered into his ear. “Do you want me inside you, baby?”
“Yes,” Theo hissed even as he gave another small thrust.
“Let Alek keep sucking you while I open you up,” Wylder told him before he heard the distinct sound of a bottle cap being opened. Yes! Theo’s excitement grew.
“I…” Theo was already so close to coming.
“Shh,” Dario said. “It’s okay.”
“But I’m gonna come,” Theo whined.
“We’ll keep you hard,” Dario promised. “You deserve this.”
He did. Theo had almost died. That gave him the confidence that Theo needed. Carding his fingers through Alek’s silky hair, Theo held him down as he gave in to the need inside him and lifted his hips.
Alek didn’t even choke! He just sucked Theo’s cock down the back of his throat and swallowed.
“Ah!” Theo shouted. That felt amazing so Theo did thrust again. And again.
Wylder scooted up behind him, pushing on Theo’s shoulders to force his upper body down. Which, okay, Theo could work with this. Since he was still sitting in Dario’s lap, this put Dario’s chest right in front of Theo’s eyes.
Whining, Theo tried to claw at the shirt that Dario wore. Why? Why did Dario still have clothes on. Naked! Naked was so much better!
“I’ve got you, little one.” Leaning forward, Dario grabbed the back of his T-shirt and yanked it off.
Tanned golden skin shone in front of him. Licking his lips, Theo dropped his head and started to mouth at Dario’s firm skin. He licked and sucked his way across Dario’s chest to his nipple before sucking the little nub into his mouth.
Theo had just wrapped his lips around Dario’s nipple as Wylder probed at Theo’s entrance.
He didn’t know whether to push back onto Wylder’s finger or forward to push into Alek’s mouth. Theo ended up trying to do both at the same time. He made a weird little circle with his hips then Wylder’s finger slipped deep.
“Ohhh!” Theo moaned. He wanted more of that. With his mouth still on Dario, he pulled back from Alek’s throat, forcing Wylder’s finger deeper.
