“You’re not going in to say hello?” I ask, arching an eyebrow at him.
“No, Evelyn, I am not. I will see them when I get back. I need to verify something.”
I nod, wondering what he needs to verify but let it go. I can tell he is angry through the bond, and it is way too early to put up with his wrath this morning.
“Sounds good to me. I want to take her shopping. She has no clothes,” Amara tells him, and he glares at her.
“No, you’re not taking her anywhere, Amara. Ryland and Orion can take her,” he snaps at her, and she rolls her eyes at him, making me smirk. Thaddeus then walks out, slamming the door behind him, causing the floor to vibrate.
“Come on, let’s get breakfast and head to the city,” she tells me, swinging her arm over me and tugging me toward the door.
“Ah! Amara, I only have panties and a shirt on!” I screech as she tries to take me through the shed.
“Oh right, hang on.” She walks back into her room and gives me a pair of shorts.
I slip them on, following her to the main house. Her mother rushes out and suddenly come to a stop. A frown appears on her face, so I guess she was hoping Thaddeus would come in. I shake my head sadly at her, and she looks a little disappointed. Walking into the kitchen, I find Ryland and Orion talking with Thaddeus’ fathers; when we walk in, they all look up. Orion instantly grabs me, crushing me against him as he sits me on his lap on a stool. Ryland comes over, gripping my chin so I look up at him right when his lips press against mine. He forces his tongue between my lips, so I push on his chest, embarrassed that we are in a room full of people, but he doesn’t seem to care.
“Ryland,” I scold, pulling away from him.
His eyes darken, but he steps away. My face heats up with embarrassment, but no one cares except me. Imogen hands me a coffee, and Tobias is cooking what smells like bacon. Amara steals a piece from the frying pan as her father smacks her hand with the tongs, but she still manages to pinch a piece with a silly smirk on her face.
“I am kidnapping your mate again,” she tells Orion, who looks to Ryland.
“Why?” he asks, not even hiding his disapproval.
“Geez, what is your problem? It is shopping; I am not taking her to some whore house,” she snaps.
“Did Thaddeus approve this?” he asks.
Amara crosses her arms over her chest, pouting, making me giggle.
“Didn’t think so. Orion and I will take her,” Ryland tells her. Amara glares at him but adds nothing, and I suspect Amara is used to getting her way.
“Let Amara take her. I don’t see it being a problem,” Imogen tells him, but Ryland shakes his head.
“I agree with Ryland, love. If she goes into heat, what good will Amara be to her?” Tobias says while removing the frying pan from the stove.
“Ryland is just worried I may satisfy his mate more than him,” Amara taunts, making me confused until it finally clicks.
“You’re lesbian?” I ask.
Amara nods, a cheeky grin on her face. Now I know why Thaddeus was so upset that I was in bed with his sister.
“Yep. She has amazing tits, by the way. Perfect little button nipples,” Amara says to Ryland, and he throws a tea towel at her, which she catches and throws back. “I wonder if she tastes as good as she smells,” Amara says, licking her lips as she jumps off the stool and runs for the back door, just as Ryland lunges at her. I hear her laugh as she runs outside. Theo and Tobias laugh at the pair of them and a moment later, Tobias rushes to the door.
“Oi, don’t ruin my garden, Amara!” he yells after her, making me chuckle.
“Never a dull day when Amara is around,” Imogen says. Tobias hands me a plate of food, and my stomach growls, making me blush with how loud it sounds. I can’t even remember the last time I ate. “Don’t you boys feed her?” Imogen scolds.
“We do, but sometimes we forget she is human,” Orion says apologetically. I lean against him, and he rubs his chin across my shoulder.
“Food is ready!” Tobias yells out the back door. I can hear Amara and Ryland still running outside, and it sounds like Amara is winning with the way she keeps teasing him.
“Amara, my fucking roses, you brat!” Tobias yells and darts out the back. I watch as he drags his daughter inside, covered in grass, and a very ticked-off Ryland walking in behind her.
“She killed my rose bush!” Tobias says angrily, walking over and sitting next to his wife. Imogen shakes her head and glares at her daughter.
“What? Ryland landed on it, not me.”
“You shouldn’t have riled him up,” Imogen snaps at her.
Ryland grabs a plate and sits next to me. We eat our breakfast, and afterwards Tobias walks outside to fix the mess his daughter and Ryland made, muttering under his breath.
Imogen walks upstairs to retrieve some clothes and shows me where the bathroom is. Ryland and Orion walk in a few seconds after me. Pulling my clothes off, I hop in only to be slammed against the shower wall by Ryland.
I wrap my legs around his waist while he devours my lips, his tongue playing with mine, and I can feel his erection pressing between my folds, making me moan into his mouth. I kiss him back, and he presses himself closer, his hands squeezing my ass right as Orion steps in. Orion moves off to the side of me and his hand moves between us. He rubs my clit, my hips move against his fingers, making me moan. Ryland kisses my neck and sucks on my mark as I throw my head back at the pleasure rolling over me, only to nearly knock myself out from the force.
