When we all walk back to the living room area, I try to focus on the path we take, but it's too confusing so I give up. Marcus stays in Lycan form, probably so he isn't naked in front of me. He walks so close beside me, his fur tickling my thigh. I want nothing more than to use all that soft fur as a pillow and that's exactly what I do when we get there.

Marcus jumps up on the couch and curls up, then yips for me to follow. He's so big that the couch groans in warning and half of him is handing off. Regardless, I stretch out on the couch and lay my head on his side.

"You gotta get down Marcus. We've been over this before. You're gonna break the couch," Clent states seriously. Marcus just growls in response, snuggling closer to me. Once he's satisfied with our proximity, he almost seems to purr in contentment. I huff out a sleepy laugh. "You're lucky she likes you or else we would have gotten the broom."

I peek an eye open at this, not even knowing I closed them. "Why the broom?" I ask. They share a look with a couple snickers, causing Marcus to growl and my face to vibrate. It feels....nice and I wish he would do it again.

Caspian the Troublemaker is the one to answer. "He may seem like the big bad wolf, but he really a big fat, pussy cat. He's terrified of the godamn broom. Get him mad, well then he's a Lycan alright, but other than that he's a softie," Cas explains. Clent laughs with his brother, Alaric is half asleep, and Kelen is shaking his head with a faint smirk.

I want to laugh so bad, but I refrain because Marcus is up and snarling at them, ready to attack. I pull him into me, scratching and stroking the fur at his neck. "Shhh, it's ok Marcus. I like you just how you are. I like your soft black fur and your beautiful red eyes," I whisper to him. He huff and nuzzles my neck, licking at it. I shiver in delight and he does it again, rubbing his scent on me. I tilt my head to give him better access, to which he growls deeply. Kelen gives Marcus a pointed look, making him huff in defeat and lay his massive head in my lap.

I'm not really sure where that was going, but I'm glad he stopped in a way. I didn't trust myself around my hot as hell Beloveds. I was likely to jump their bones. A throat clearing pulled me out of my lust filled thoughts. All eyes were on me, making me squirm a little.

"So, we want to just talk with you briefly about our thoughts on the matter of our connection." I nodded my head reluctantly, heart beating erratically. Please don't reject me. Please don't reject me. "We know this must be alot for you, having five nates of different species and us sharing one mate, but we want this. We want you. We'll give you some time to think it over and-"

"I want you too. I want all of you," I blurted before Kelen could finish, my heart taking over for my mind. They all just blinked up at me, surprised before grins break out on their handsome faces.

"You owe me fifty," Clent boomed at Marcus with a laugh. I lifted an eyebrow in confusion, but he just smirked and chuckled. Shrugging, I let whatever it was go.

"Well then," Kelen said, rising with a cute yawn, "it's settled. We'll discuss futher arrangements tomorrow, but we all need to catch some sleep." There were yawn of agreements as we all stood. "Would you...do you want to sleep alone?" He asked. I though about it, looking them each over. They gave me somewhat pleading looks in return, probably doing it on instinct.

I chuckled lightly. "No, I was hoping I could sleep with one of you. Do you mind if I sleep with you, Marcus?" He yipped excitedly, tail wagging at full speed. The others deflated a little, which I found cute, but looked too tired to really object.

Clent sweapt me into a crushing hug, his warm body embracing mine. I squeezed him back tightly, taking in his scent. He smelled like a Smores at a campfire, marshmallow slightly burnt. It was addicting. It was...him. Next was Caspian, he swirled me around in his arms then dipped me down. "Give 'em hell," he told me with a smirk before kissing my cheek and giving my ass a light squeeze. I smacked his shoulder with a gasp, but the couldn't contain my obvious arousal. The bastard just winked.

Next I gave my shy boy a kiss on the forehead, seeing as he was knocked out in his chair. He looked just as cute and innocent as I remember, making my heart swell. Kelen waited patently for his hug, smiling slightly when I came to him. He was gentle, hugging me as if I'd break. I nuzzled his neck, inhaling his intoxicated scent, it more dominate than the others' scent. I gave his neck a light kiss, right on his pulse. Kelen shivered. It was just as frantic as mine. I had to give my fangs a moment to retract, before pulling back.

"Goodnight," I told them before letting Marcus lead me too his room. The whole way I felt myself practically glowing. I did what I knew would please my guys. It just felt so natural to do so. It felt so good.

I wanted to make them happy more than anything; let them seek their pleasure through me. Later on I knew that meant....something else more intimate, but we weren't ready for all that yet. At all. For now, we were just going to take it slow- well as slow as we could since the bond was pushing me to mark and claim them.

Temptation and I didn't always get along. It liked to test my restraints. It liked to make me give in.

Author note: From here it's gonna start moving faster hopefully as they explore their connection. And don't worry, smut is coming so get your fans and water, don't tell your father and be prepared to get all hot and bothered.❤
