Ember

I kiss Pax quickly on the lips and roll out of bed, grabbing my phone on the way to the bathroom. I also make sure I pull the covers, so his dicks are covered.

ME: Good morning, big brother,

got a problem in Paxton’s room,

I’m in the bathroom and I need a

cuppa before I sort another Barbie

problem x

DECLAN: *eye roll emoji*

Do I need to kick Pax’s ass?

On my way! x

ME: Depends. I’m thoroughly marked by him! x

ME: Is there something in the water

I need to be aware of. I’m not going to

step out of my shower one day and be a

Bitch Barbie, am I? x

DECLAN: TMI *yelling emoji,

hands over ears emoji *

see you at breakfast x

I chuckle as I step into the shower; I hear my brother's dulcet tones but not his words, followed by a female screech; I clean up quickly, then grab Paxton’s robe and head into the room; grabbing my clothes, I kiss Paxton on the lips with a,

“I love you”, and I kiss Dec’s jaw on the way past.

“Morning, big brother”, Office Barbie starts to screech again, but then demands to know who I am to Declan. I pad over to Brayden’s room, knock and wait for an answer,

“Yeah,” is yelled through the door, so I poke my head in,

“Can I dress here? Paxton’s room is a little hectic, and as his bathroom is a wet room, I can’t get dressed in there” As another screech comes from there, Brayden chuckles,

“Sure”, I slip my stuff on under the robe and then quickly get my t-shirt on when Bray nips into his closet; he’s pulling his t-shirt on when he steps back out,

“Thanks for making us aware of Miles' struggles; I didn’t know if he was ready for more and just followed the comfortable flow we had going and held back my own feelings” I nod,

“No worries, bro, I’m sure I will need mate help at some point, and you can help in return,” he smiles and pulls me into a hug, just holding me to him, breathing me in, I can feel Dex and Levi brush against my senses,

“Come on, I need tea as another Barbie let herself up here again”, he groans and heads downstairs. As we reach the bottom, Saint stops me, kissing me goodbye

“Uncle Nic has taken over, as we need to leave for this meeting!”

Dec says from next to him, I notice he has hold of my sketchbook.

“I hope that helps”, I point to it. Dec nods, and then I notice a sleepy Trent shuffle up with a travel mug and a blueberry muffin, who manages a floppy wave and dopey smile.

We settle in for breakfast, and the guys are excited as it is nearly the weekend.

“Do any more of you boys have screeching females with delusions of claims on you that I should be prepared for?” Uncle Nic asks as he takes a seat, already rubbing his temples.

“To be honest, Uncle, I don’t think any of us knew about the ones that have already shown themselves”, Bas states, flipping through a file

“Big Job?” I ask, and he nods.

“Yeah, we have our first commission for a start-to-finish build,” I can hear his nerves, but it’s overtaken with excitement, and I give him a bright smile; the guys give me kisses before they leave, and I notice Miles gets similar treatment, we both decided we wanted chill time today so we head to the screen room, stocking up on snacks on our way, Lily gives me a watery hug and told me she sent back my book, Nate again perks up but I ignore him, I tidy up the first 3 chapters, blurb and the cover art and send it off to some publishers while Miles picks what we are watching.
