Chapter 3 #3
A glass of water appeared, and with it the knowledge that LeeLee would need to sit up to drink.
With more haste than finesse, I swung my leg over, settling on my knees between Jenna and Payton.
Watching the gorgeous creature drink from a glass shouldn’t have turned me on, but damn, I swore my own mouth watered.
She appeared almost ethereal, from her white-blonde hair with its silver streaks to her pale, almost translucent skin.
I worried that if I were too rough, she’d bruise.
Hell, I was already moving past friends to rough sex. Fuck!
“Thank you, Jenna. That was the best water I’ve tasted in a long time.” Her smile lit up the room.
“Pfft. I reckon that’s probably because you’ve been drinking out of doggie dishes for the past twenty years or so,” Jenna said, winking.
I wanted to wring the Fey’s neck, but the giggle from all the women, including LeeLee, had me looking a little closer. True mirth shone from those clear blue eyes…eyes, I was coming to obsess over wanting to see.
“You’re probably correct. Um, do you have something I could borrow? You know...to put on?” Her hand waved over her chest, yet she made no move to cover herself.
I figured I’d been a gentleman long enough and felt as though my eyes were as large as saucers. The woman version of LeeLee was built like a goddess. All sleek curves, with breasts that were perfectly formed—the exact shape and size for my hands. Not big, but just right. My hands, I amended.
As if by magic, a wrap appeared, the silvery blue color a perfect match for her coloring. Yet I wanted to rip the offending material into shreds.
“Are you hungry?” I croaked, thinking of the delicious soup and grilled cheese I’d eaten earlier.
“Yes, actually, I am.’
When LeeLee made no move to wrap herself in the garment, I wasn’t sure whether it was because she didn’t know how or because she couldn’t care less. Since she’d asked for the covering, I went with her uncertainty, stood up, and held out my hand. “Here, let me help you with that.’
Helping my mate cover up all her naked glory was an act of restraint I wouldn’t have given myself credit for days before. Hell, if I were honest, I’d have said I’d never do it. Although now I’d do anything to set LeeLee at ease.
“How do you feel?” I asked in a hushed whisper.
“Weak.” Her answer surprised me.
“We will let you two get acquainted. Come on, ladies, let’s go visit elsewhere.” Jenna ushered the other ladies out.
“Why do the other women listen to her? She’s the youngest of them?” LeeLee stared at the women’s backs.
Jenna looked back and winked. I waited until we were seated at the table, noticing they’d left another pot of soup and two bowls, along with several sandwiches.
“Jennaveve is the oldest, love. She may look as young as you, but she’s an undetermined age.’
“Oh, my damn. I’m not sure I can equate that.” She tilted her head in a very canine way, reminding me of her wolf. Her words sent a jolt through me. Clearly, she’d absorbed some knowledge through her years as a wolf. How much, we had yet to find out.
“Eat up. I happen to know firsthand that this soup is delicious.” I indicated the dish between us.
She hesitated for only a moment before she picked up a hot pink ladle shaped like the Loch Ness Monster, then spooned a generous portion into her bowl.
“You know things smell different as a human,” she whispered, eyes closing while she took a deep breath, stretching the fabric across her breasts.
After making sure she’d finished serving herself, I spooned some into my bowl, leaving plenty in case she wanted seconds.
“Yes. When I’m in my wolf form, I can hear, see, and even smell better, yet it’s different.
I wouldn’t have appreciated all the spices in the soup as a wolf.
” I smiled at the look of bliss that crossed her face, completely enchanted by her every expression, as if I were experiencing them with her.
And in a way, I was. My dick hardened at the thought of the other things I could introduce her to.
We ate in companionable silence, but I noticed she took extra care sipping when I knew she wanted to devour her first meal as a woman. Once our bellies were full, I sat back, placing my hands on my stomach, waiting. I didn’t have to wait long before she too finished with a contented sigh.
“My, that was by far the best I’ve ever eaten.” Sincerity was stamped in her voice and on her face. I wondered how she’d make it in the real world if she was so open and knew then and there I’d be her protector.
I pointed at the last sandwich. “You want that one?’
A shake of her head, followed by a half smile, had me grinning like a fool.
“I’d like to take a shower. For some reason, I feel dirty,” her voice rasped.
I could have kicked myself. The Fey had cleansed her, but more than likely, her baths had consisted of a hose or some natural water source.
We both turned at the sound of a door opening.
“Ah, good. I’m happy to see you’re done.
I almost yelled before entering. You never know with horny wolves what you’ll walk in on.
” Jenna shook her head. “Let me tell you something.” She leaned close to LeeLee’s ear.
“Don’t just pop into Kellen’s home, or the Malik brothers’.
I swear, they are always practicing on making babies,” she said with exasperation.
LeeLee’s face turned a lovely shade of red, while I couldn’t contain a deep laugh.
“Why are you laughing? Shouldn’t they know how to make babies?” She made air quotes around the last two words, a grin spilling across her beautiful face.
“LeeLee would like to take a bath. Is that possible?” I pushed back and began helping stack the dishes.
“Of course, there are bathing facilities here. What do you think this is, the dark ages?” Jenna shook her head.
“Leave the dishes, I’ll take care of them, while you show LeeLee how to work the bathroom facility.
” She told me where the guest bedroom was and how there were extra clothes in the closet.
The woman clearly knew what other women needed.
“Thanks, Jenna.” I stopped next to her and gave her a peck on the cheek.
