Chapter thirty-seven
Isla
‘Well, well, well. Look what the breeze blew in.’ Luna chirps from her makeshift fort on the floor, distracting us from our questioning.
Apparently Luna was the first of the others to come back to this room before we arrived and it’s been like pulling teeth trying to get any information out of her.
Lucky for her, Eloise’s bed messed head shyly peeked through the door just in time to save her from the third degree. Eloise groans, attempting to smooth down her wild blonde hair as she shuts the door behind her.
‘Why are you on the floor?’ She sighs. ‘You know what I don’t want to know. I don’t know why I ask questions when it comes to you.’
‘Oh no you don’t.’ Luna leans on her elbow, propping herself up. ‘What happened with you and….’ She naps her fingers. ‘The buff brothers!’
‘They’re brothers?’ I ask as Fauna hoots a laugh.
‘You fucked two brothers?’ Liz chimes in from the corner of the room. Her tone more curious than judgmental.
I look her way, watching the dark horse as she inspects Eloise with something akin to amusement… or is it some fucked up sort of respect?
‘They aren’t actually related!’ Eloise huffs, plonking herself down between where Fauna and I are sprawled out on the sofa.
‘So you did fuck them,’ Fauna smirks and Eloise hides her face in her hands.
Luna’s practically buzzing with excitement as she starts pacing the length of their room.
‘Did you have… fun?’ I ask.
Eloise has had a hard time with it after what happened with that dickhead of a boyfriend she had, so it's nice to see her getting the attention she deserves. And from more than one man? Girl’s living most people’s dream.
Sheepishly, she peeks up at me and the twinkle in her eyes tells me all I need to know. It’s like the light has been switched back on and she’s finally alive again.
I grin like a Cheshire cat and squeeze her in for a hug.
‘Isla… you’re suffocating me.’ She chokes out, her words muffled by my chest.
I back off with a sorry.
My boobs have been growing nonstop recently; it’s unbelievable.
None of my sports tops fit anymore and all of the bras Fauna brought back after one of her supply runs for us look like they are about to break whenever I put them on.
The four boob look isn’t a vibe and to make matters worse I’ve started to get a cheeky six boob going on when I wear some of them now.
Liam, of course, is having a field day with how big they’ve gotten. So much so, I've had to start batting him off of me whenever we’re doing a task.
We’re really taking this whole horny pregnancy thing to a new level. One second it's me climbing him like a starved animal, then the next it's him practically salivating over the way my body has changed over these past few months.
He’s been so complimentary, I haven’t had the slightest ounce of self-consciousness creep in since the second he touched me.
‘Yeah momma, those bad boys are out of control.’ Luna laughs as she mimes walking around with massive boobs.
‘I’m sorry, Isla, but they were so distracting last night.’ Fauna laughs, ‘I’m so jealous.’
My face heats as my friends continue to tell me how amazing I’m looking and I’m glad I’ve started to listen. My life is so much better now I’ve stopped brushing off their kindness.
‘Guys, stop,’ I fake-wipe away a tear. ‘You’re going to make my head massive.’
Luna momentarily stops her pacing. ‘Mine would be the size of the moon if I looked as sexy as you whilst eight months pregnant.’
The others hum in agreement and the door opens, revealing two giggling and very smiley girls — Amelia and Isabella.
‘You too?’ Luna observes and tips her head back, huffing.
‘What’s up with you?’
‘Yeah, you’re more… fidgety than usual.’ Which is right, this entire time Luna hasn’t stopped for a second.
‘Did something happen?’ I ask, concerned.
If someone hurt her I’d kill them no questions asked. I don’t care if we're in a good spot, I will never sacrifice one of my girls to be here.
‘Nothing… bad.’ Luna winces.
That doesn’t put my racing mind to ease.
‘What happened?’ Elizabeth’s cold, hard tone sobers Luna and she straightens.
‘It was me, not him.’ She tries to explain as her eyes bug out and her hands fly about.
Liz pushes off the wall, bow in hand.
‘That doesn’t sound much better, Luna.’ Fauna supplies.
‘I pulled a knife on him!’
We all stop and stare at her. And all I want to do is wrap my arms around her because she looks so fucking vulnerable right now.
‘You did what?’ Eloise asks just as Elizabeth's lip tips up in a grin.
‘We were getting… Yano close and I was all up in the moment.’ Luna’s arms fly and she looks like she’s about to take off with all the flapping she’s doing..
‘So you pulled a knife on his dick? Is that a kink or something?’ Amelia asks.
I’m sure I catch Fauna mumbling a ‘for some people.’ Eww, let’s ignore that and whatever weird shit her and my brother get up to.
‘No!’ Luna stomps and faces us. ‘It was his neck.’
‘And he didn’t like it?’ I ask gently, seeming to be the only one more concerned about how vulnerable she looks right now.
Luna bows her head in defeat. ‘No he… got a bit of a fright.’
Liz chuckles and moves back to her perch in the corner whilst Fauna tips her head back, howling with laughter.
Luna storms for the door.
‘Luna, don’t go,’ I get up. Kicking Fauna in the process and she muffles her laughter. ‘He just probably wasn’t into that sort of stuff, that’s okay. It just means you aren’t the right fit for each other, that’s all.’
‘Isla’s right,’ Fauna gets up and comes to stand beside us, rubbing Luna’s shoulder. ‘I pulled a knife on Ru’s dick the first time we met, and it didn’t faze him in the slightest. In fact, I think it turned him on. You just need to find the right guy to match your kind of crazy.’
Ru did fucking what? No. I don’t want to think about it.
Luna peeks at Fauna between her pink strands. Looking more childlike than her usual crazy, ‘Really?’
Fauna nods, ‘yup and a whole load of other stuff. Like…’
I clear my throat, reminding her that I’m still her boyfriend's sister.
‘Right,’ she winces and whispers. ‘I’ll tell you later.’
That seems to comfort Luna enough for her to be persuaded back into her pillow fort for some rest.
Fauna’s right. All of us deserve the right man to match our craziness.
