River
I’m not asleep; I'm now worried after Dec's mention of my brother. I know my shadows will let me know if he's hurt, and when my phone rings, I answer without looking at who it is.
“Get to my room. Embers stuck in a dream, and I can't wake her.” I shadow travel before he’s finished, Embers a sweaty mess in the middle of the bed. I know Ren has a Californian King, but she looks as tiny as a child in the middle.
“Saint, let me go” I freeze, I’m only halfway across the bed; my brother would never hurt her.
“wards”, pause.
“can't travel with me,” She must be talking about when she first met him
“Go, I’m ready, let me die,” FUCK!!!
Ren looks like he’s going to shift; I dive forward, using my shadows to help me enter her dream, fuck her white tank is see-through from sweat, and all I want to do is take her perk nipple in my mouth, focus River Focus!
I enter her dream; most people's bad dreams will look like you’re watching from a reflection in the water. Embers are not. They are crystal clear; she must have had this dream a lot for it to be so precise.
My brother has his shadows holding cuts on her arms together, snarling at her.
He won’t leave her to die; he forces her to make a shadow vow never to put her life in danger again, which explains why he trusted her with the demons.
I feel a shift as if another is entering her dream; then something smashes through the wall.
Just as the door slams open, Ember and Saint disappear into the Shadows.
The dust clears, and I get a smug look from Dex and Levi before they turn and trot away; well, I’m not needed here then, ha-ha.
I come out as Ember shoots up, clinging to Ren, but she’s still holding my hand.
“Go take her for a shower; I’ll sort the bed,” I say as I stand.
Ren nods and carries her to the bathroom.
I switch the bedding with my shadows, and I flashback to my room, grabbing my clothes for tomorrow; when I get back to Ren's room, I dump them on a chair and grab my phone off the floor where I dropped it, diving for Ember.
I stick one of my shirts on the side of the bathroom for Ember. I glance at the shower. Ren has her pinned to the wall, her legs around him, and shockingly, he's not balls deep.
“You shouldn’t have woken River; I always get out of my dreams; they always come for me, have since before I met you” She seems to scold and soothe Ren in the same sentence and definitely sounds exasperated, like it’s not the first time they've had that conversation.
She wiggles and leaves the shower, wrapping a towel around her body and one around her hair; she walks over and picks up the shirt, smiling at me as she heads back into the room; I follow her out as she rubs her hair dry, then drops both towels and pulls on my shirt, she hums when she sniffs it, catching my scent, she picks the towels up throwing them in the hamper then brushes her hair and sticks them in loose braids, she kisses my Jaw, and I hear a drawn out groan from the bathroom, I turn and see Ren through the open door, cover the tile in front of him with Cum, once he’s clean he smacks off the water, struts out the shower and quickly rubs himself dry with a towel, on the way to his closet he asks.
“You sleeping here?” at my nod, he just tilts his chin to the bed, throwing his towel in the hamper on the way past, I'm still just in my boxers from being in my own bed, so I climb in next to Ember, I haven’t spoken to her or Ren about her being my mate so I don’t touch her, I won’t take liberties even if I can feel my cock pulsing with the need of her.
“Is he ok?” I know she means Saint
“His shadows haven’t called out to mine, but they will alert me if he does”, she hums, moving over to put her head on my shoulder and her hand on my heart; I rest my cheek on her head and my hand over hers.
I want to pull her into a kiss, but not yet.
Ren climbs into bed and flicks the light off, burying his nose in her neck,
“If you keep wiggling your ass against my cock, baby, none of us will get any sleep”, she chuckles and lets out a sigh.
Eventually, I hear her breathing even out.
“I’m hers, and I want the bond; I don’t think my nightmare is going to wait long to mark her”, I say into the darkness.
“Okay, forewarning, I’m waking her with my tongue thrusting into her Cunt, so if you don’t want to be here for that, leave by morning; I know not everyone will be okay sharing.” I chuckle at his words, but no more is said between us.
