As if on cue, I instantly feel relaxed. Orion moves his hips, and I moan loudly as tingles spread throughout my body. Soon enough, I move my hips against him, making him groan. Orion pushes my knee up higher, holding it with his arm as he slides out and thrusts back in. His lips seize mine and he starts moving a little faster. His cock slips in and out of me easily. My walls clench around him at the friction, and I move my hips to meet his thrusts. My stomach tightens, and I can feel my orgasm building, my core pulsating. My juices are spilling onto my thighs as I am left moaning underneath him.
Orion speeds up his movements; my nails dig into his arms as I feel my skin flush. A new sensation washes over me; it’s different, more powerful. My stomach tightens, and I feel like I am about to combust.
“Come for me,” he growls, biting my bottom lip, and I explode.
An insanely loud moan leaves my lips as my walls flutter around his length, clenching around him. Orion’s movements become changeable as he thrusts in harder until he stills inside me. I feel his cock twitch inside me, and as he groans, I feel his hot seed spill into me. Orion kisses me, and we are both left panting, trying to catch our breaths. Orion’s now flaccid cock pulls out of me as he sits up.
The next moment, Ryland leans over me, kissing me. His tongue is playing with mine, his hand goes to my breast as he pinches my nipple between his fingers.
I moan, surprised by my own willingness to continue. Ryland moves between my legs, kissing me harder, his tongue fighting mine for dominance. My hand is on his hip as I tug on him. He thrusts against me, making me moan. Ryland chuckles as he hops up, which in turn makes me wrap my legs around him to tug him back.
He kisses me and uses his arms to push off so he can sit up. Orion walks out of the bathroom with a wet cloth. He has a silly grin on his lips as his hand moves between my legs, cleaning me. Thaddeus gets up and grabs a pair of panties, handing them to me, and I slip them on without question. Thaddeus lays on the bed and I instantly climb on top of him, placing my chin on my hands on his chest. He kisses my forehead and brushes my hair from my face.
“We will make dinner,” Ryland says while Orion slips some shorts on.
I try to get up to follow them, but Thaddeus tugs me back down on him. “Stay. I need to tell you something.”
I settle myself, laying back down on top of him and yawning rather loudly. “Is this about what Amara was talking about?” I ask, but Thaddeus shakes his head.
“No, we can discuss that later. Right now, I need to tell you something I did.” My eyebrows furrow and I feel guilt flood me from Thaddeus, making me wonder what he has done. For some reason, my heart rate spikes up and fear settles in.
Evelyn
“What did you do?” I ask, wondering if he has destroyed another city or hurt someone. I know the possibilities of what he could have done are endless, and the suspense is worse than if he would just spit it out.
“I am the reason you ended up in the foster care system,” he says, making me confused.
How can he possibly be the reason I ended up in the foster care system? He didn’t abandon me there. Oh, that would be so gross and nasty if he turned out to be my father; well, technically, he is old enough to be my great grandfather, I think. I will have to remember to ask how old they are.
“What do you mean? You’re not my father, are you? Because that would be just plain nasty,” I ask.
Thaddeus chuckles. “Definitely not any relation, but I am the reason you ended up in the church.”
“How so?”
“Well, remember how my aunty said you smelled familiar?” he starts, and I nod, remembering his aunty and father stating the same thing.
“My aunt and father were following me and stumbled across you just outside of Parse; your parents were killed when I destroyed the town they were living in. So, my father and aunty heard you crying and dug you out of the rubble. They didn’t know what to do with you, so they dropped you off at the old convent,” he says, watching me carefully.
I sit up, trying to make sense of his words. “What are their names? Do you know?”
Thaddeus nods his head, running his hands up my thighs, making me look down at him. I don’t know how I feel; shocked if anything.
“Yes, Michael and Sara Carter,” he tells me, which means my parents were married. I nod.
“Anything else about them?”
“Just that by the autopsy reports, your mother has recently given birth and that they both had drug and petty crime charges on their records.”
Evelyn Carter, I think to myself. Hmm, I think I prefer my made-up last name – Harper.
“I like Harper better,” I tell him. He looks confused, and I can feel confusion through the bond.
“You’re not mad?”
I shake my head; how can I be mad at something he did before he met me? Not only that, if my parents were drug addicts and criminals, chances are, I would have ended up in foster care anyway.
“No, chances are I still would have ended up in foster care anyway,” I tell him.
“You’re not mad at all?” he asks again, shocked by my reaction.
“No. I’m a little shocked, but I didn’t know them to miss them. And besides, I have been on my own all my life. I have no family, never had one, so it’s a bit hard to miss something I never had, right?” I tell him.
“We are your family, and you can share mine if you want them,” Thaddeus chuckles, pulling me back down on him and kissing the top of my head.
“Dinner is ready,” Orion sings out from downstairs.
I sit up again. “Good, I am starving,” I tell Thaddeus, peck his lips and hop off of him.
Thaddeus and I walk downstairs and discover Orion and Ryland have made tacos. Sitting at the table, I help myself, and Orion hands me a glass of Coke. As I bite into the taco, my belly starts rumbling embarrassingly loud.
“Good?” Ryland asks, and I nod.
“You need to remind us if you’re hungry, Evelyn. Thaddeus, and I don’t eat as much as you do. And Ryland hunts when he shifts, so forgets to eat real food.” Orion explains, but I just nod again, enjoying my food.
