“Sorry,”Iwhispered, trying not to laugh.
“Do you know how hard it is to stop a creature from crashing into a building when all you can think about is your cock?” he asked irritably.
“If it makes you feel better, you did an admirable job.We’reboth here, safe and sound.”
“Fucking bloody hell,” he grouched.
I sucked my lips in again.
It took him a bit, but he got it together, his face softened, and he ran his knuckles along my hairline.
“Gods,bissi, she’s beyond stunning.”
That meant…it meant…
The whole wide world to me.
I smiled at him.
“And she’s back,” he whispered.
My eyes filled with tears.
“She’s back,”Iwhispered in return.
ThenIlost it.
He held me asIcried.
She nestled contentedly in my chest.
He flapped off his lingering displeasure and settled inAleksei’s.
Finally.
We were four.
We were two.
We were one.

The lightest touch on my chest woke me in the middle of the night.
“Shh, love, don’t move,”Alekseimurmured so low into my ear,Ibarely heard him.
I was on my back.
His long body was curled into my side.
What was happening filtered through my sleepy brain.
AndIremained perfectly still whileJupitergot the courage to step fully onto my chest, whereupon he curled into a little cat ball.
My beast pulsed her warm welcome.
Jupiter started purring.
