It had to be late into the night, and the heat seemed to have slowed down some. Mable was more lucid, and we neededsnacks, pronto. My stomach was starting to rumble, and it was going to wake her up.
I looked over at her as she lay in a happy collection of soft things, wiggling over to me so her head rested on my chest. She was so damn incredible. All of this was, not the least of which was finally bonding her.
Biting Mable had been unlike anything I'd ever felt before. It was like the very fabric of my being was being ripped apart and knitted back together. The center of my universe had completely tilted. The only thing that mattered now washer.
Though, if I was honest with myself, that had always been the case. Now, it was just solidified,tangible.
All five of us were panting heavily, trying to catch our breath from this latest bit of fucking, while Mable splayed across my chest, humming happily every now and again. We’d all taken this precious moment to bond, and we’d talked about it so much before that I’d almost worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype.
I was so wrong.
“I love you so fucking much,” I murmured, kissing top of her head. We were all coated in a thin layer of sweat, but I couldn't find it in me to care. A chorus of agreement and genuinely delivered “I love yous” from the rest of the guys rang through the room. There was so much of the mushy love stuff in the air that you could taste it.
I fucking adored it.
“I love you too.” Mable patted around at the limbs she could reach of everyone, smiling with her eyes still closed. “All of you.”
I chuckled lightly, my heart full enough to burst. “Are you getting hungry, Maple girl?”
She made an encouraging noise, and unsurprisingly, Jasper perked up. “Ooh, yes. Food is good. We should get some of that.”
Laughing again, I stroked Mable’s head, touching lightly in this repetitive gesture that had seemed to soothe her. Percy liftedup onto an elbow, which rolled Jasper farther to the edge. He nearly fell off, and we all scoffed at him, holding back the need to break out into a fit of chuckles.
“I got some really good stuff at the market,” Percy declared. “Sweets, and this thing called a surprise bean cake from the Asian place.”
“You know,” Devin smirked, “if you find the bean, it’s supposed to mean you’ll have a baby.”
Mable chuckled, still nuzzling into me with her eyes closed. “And that’s just what you want, isn’t it?”
“That’s what weallwant, gorgeous.” I leaned down as best I could and kissed her. “And I am sofuckingglad I decided to practice at the university rink that day you went into heat.”
Mable hummed in agreement, facing me as she forced open an eyelid and grinned. “I think it turned out rather nicely, hmm?”
Understatement of the century.
