I didn't bother panicking at not waking up in a bed, because I was basically in a puppy pile of beloveds. Alaric was curled up at my right side like an adorable kitten. To the left of me was Clent, laying on his side with one arm around my stomach. Casbian was using my thighs as a pillow and Marcus was in Lycan form behind me, his fluffy body acting as my pillow. Kelen was further away, seeing as I was already surrounded, but he held onto my hand the whole night.

A sleepy smile spread across my face, but it morphed into a grimace when I realized how badly I had to pee. Testing the waters, I wiggled at bit. They all held me tighter, with the exception of Alaric and Marcus- they just got closer to me. I laughed lightly, but then immediately grimaced again. As much as I love their adorableness, I also don't want to embarrass the hell out of myself.

"Guys, you gotta let me up. I have to pee," I whisper yell. There was grunts and growls. So they wanted it the hard way huh?

I shook off Kelen's hand, shoved off Clent's arm, kicked off Cas and gently nudged Alaric away. Standing up, I was prepared to run, but a hand around my ankle stopped me. Looking down, I wasn't surprised to see that it was Cas.

"Stay," he pleaded with a sleepy pout. My heart strained to break through my chest, on emotional overdrive. I gave him a soft smile then leaned down to kiss his cheek.

"I'll be right back ok? I'm not going far I swear." He looked ready to argue, but Kelen quickly cut in.

"Go, we'll be here when you come back. Just take a right and it's four doors down." I nodded gratefully then stood, rushing away to relieve myself.

When I was all done I sighed in satisfaction then moved to the sink. It was a slick marble design, with a confusing faucet. Titling my head to the side, I inspected it then jammed my finger down onto a little button. Before I could react, water shot out at my face. A strangled scream shot from my throat as I raised my hands to shield my face. I realized that I should try and turn it off, so I turned my head to the side and slapped my hand at it; hoping in vein to hit the button again. My finger finally pressed something, but it only made the water freezing cold. I screamed again.

Forget trying to stop it, I made a run for it. At the same time I slipped and fell into the tub, the door burst open. The first one to come sliding in was Marcus. His massive Lycan smashed into the toilet, causing more water to splash about. To my surprise Julian and Casbian scrambled in together, momentarily getting stuck in the doorway.

"June what's---"

Clent slammed into them, throwing the lot of them to the floor in his haste to get to me. Water splashed everywhere.

"What the hell," Julian groaned. There was a moment of silence, before I burst out laughing. It was so sudden that they all jumped, making me laugh even harder. I grew weak with my laughter, falling back into the tub. Water flooded my nose and mouth, turning my laugh into a cough. Arms quickly scooped me up and patted my back as I choked and laughed.

"Only you could drown in two inches of water, Flamour," Clent muttered, still patting my back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and nuzzled further into his warmth, the steam emitting from his body making it feel like a sauna.

"June. What the hell did you do?" Julian demands. Casbian gets up and growls at him.

"Don't fucking talk to her like that."

"Don't get your wings in a twist pretty boy---"

"If you really wanna go for round two---"

"ENOUGH!" I shout then sighed, "There will be no round two. I'm sick and tired of the bickering. Please can we just eat and have a civil day." Clent, who had gone tense beneath me, relaxes. I lift my head from the crook of his shoulder to give Casbian and Julian a pointed stare. They stop glaring at each other and mumble their agreement.

Satisfied, I disentangle myself from Clent and walk over to help Marcus get the toilet seat from around his neck. He licks me in thanks, then shakes out his fur. I groan at getting wet again but laugh nonetheless. Jumping onto his massive back, I order him to the kitchen.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

"Is it done yet?" Casbian pouts for the 15th time. I swat his hand in answer as it tries to snatch up a piece of bacon. Huffing, I think he's going to walk away again, but arms wrap around my waist. I stop stirring the grits and turn my head to him. "I'm hungry," he whispers in my ear. I shiver at the sensual rumble to his voice and the clear innuendo.

"It's almost done," I tell him breathlessly. He ignores me, pulling down the towel I had wrapping my body down to kiss my neck. A shiver runs up my spine then spreads to the rest of my body. I tilt my head to the side, giving him better access. His fingers massage my hips, then slide back to grip my ass. I moan lightly, grinding back into him.

"Uh uh. Stay still for me baby girl," he admonished. I begin to pout, but it quickly turns into a squeal when he bends me over and gives me a hard spank.

"What was that for!?" He pretends to think about it.

"For testing my control." I turn my head and glare at him, trying to ignore how much I liked that.

"Don't you dare---"

Spank.

"Don't tell me what to do, Love." I turn back around and silently fume, stirring the grits with more force than necessary. An idea suddenly springs to my mind as Casbian once again wraps his arms around my waist.

"Kelen," I shout, "I need your help." The words have barely left my lips when he flashes into the kitchen, shadows swirling around him. His scent invades the kitchen and I greedily breathe it in. I've missed Kelen.

"What is it?" He asked frantically, looking around for a nonexistant threat. I give me a troubled look then point to Casbian. Realization flashes in his eyes and he stalks to Casbian and rips him off of me.

"Out, Cas. She's trying to cook," Kelen demands firmly. I smirk at Cas as he huffs and walks out. Turning to Kelen, I pull him to me and give him a thankful kiss on the cheek. He embraces me in a warm hug. When Kelen pulls back he looks around the kitchen. "Is it done yet?"

"SERIOUSLY!?"
