Forever Our Ever (23 page)

“I would really like that. I’m getting seriously tired of staying in this room.”

“Then it’s done. We will talk to them after dinner. Have the little ones eaten?”

“Not since lunch. Your father and Sherra were here.”

“I know.”

“You know a lot tonight. Why is that?” asked Ever, although he was wondering the same thing.

Kris pulled his phone out of his pocket and dropped it on the bed. “I have instructed the ones who are watching our home to text me whenever anything unusual happens.”

So there really were lookouts keeping an eye on things. He hadn’t seen anyone while they were running. Of course, he hadn’t really been looking for anyone either. His mind had been on keeping up with Ever.

“I wonder what’s for dinner?” asked Liam. “I’m sure the babies will be up soon and looking for something to eat.”

He really was the mother hen. Liam pushed himself to his feet. “Oh, I think that Demetri has fallen under Ever’s intoxicating spell and is going to join us. I think that we should feed the children, play with the children, and then figure out how to play with Ever. We all need the wonderful release of that particular act.” Liam ran his fingers over Ever’s cheek. “Right, sweets?”

Demetri had already taken note of the interesting dynamics of their very intimate relationship, and now that he was considering becoming a part of it, he found it even more intriguing.

As Liam had suggested, they had eaten a wonderful dinner of roasted duck with baked apples and apricots. Snow said that it was one of her specialties, and Ever really hoped that she would make it again.

The children had eaten a full bowl of mash made from the stew that she had been given earlier. It was stunning to see them eating at just a few weeks old, but as their teeth quickly slid into place, Ever was glad of it. They could do some serious damage to her nipples if they still needed milk.

Avia had fallen asleep in her arms and Ever was reluctant to give her up. Her only daughter was absolutely charming. She had a dainty, slightly pudgy face with big blue eyes that could melt a person’s soul. The short hair that was sprouting from her tiny head was exactly like Ever’s. It was light honey brown with two distinct sections of wide blonde strips to either side of her head. The only difference was that the blonde in Ever’s hair was evenly distributed as six layers of blonde and five strips of brown.

Lash and Errant had their father’s hair. It was growing in very thick and light brown. Ever figured that it would probably darken slightly as they got older. Seren’s, however, seemed to be getting darker every day and patches were almost black. She wondered if it was possible for her to pass Carmen’s genes onto her children, but had been somewhat leery of asking Kris.

Demetri gave her a smile. “What thought caused a frown to crease your beautiful face?”

“I was just wondering about Seren’s hair.”

“It is oddly dark, considering that you and Kris both have lighter hair. Is there someone in your family with dark hair?”

Ever turned her eyes to Kris and grimaced.

“Actually, the Amars were known for their dark hair.”

“Who are the Amars?” asked Demetri.

“The man who initially turned Ever was named Carmen Amar. He was killed shortly after turning Ever.”

“I’m sorry that I asked.”

Ever wasn’t, it took the question from her lips. “Kris, is it possible that Seren may have black hair because of Carmen?”

“It’s possible. Of course, it might be better to say that your father had black hair if anyone asks you. I really don’t want to associate the children with the Amars.”

That was a very wise train of thought. She didn’t either. “Good point. I will do that.”

She was watching him to see if he was going to react to the idea. Kris leaned over the edge of the bed, awkwardly draping his arms over her shoulders. “It doesn’t matter what color his hair is, he is my son. Don’t look so worried.”

She was very glad to hear that. “Yes, he has his father’s attitude.”

“I know he does. Should we put them to bed? They are all asleep and I’m not in the least bit tired.”

That was an interesting idea. Liam walked over and took Avia from her arms. The child whimpered in her sleep, but didn’t make another sound as Liam put her into the crib. He collected the three boys and laid them down beside their sister. They were getting so big, she wondered how long the crib was actually going to last. There was another bedroom between their room and the living room that would eventually become the children’s room. As they got older, it would become Avia’s room and the larger bedroom past the kitchen would belong to the boys. The rooms had yet to be furnished. Kris had told her that he and Liam suspected that she would want to have a hand in designing the children’s room, and they had been right.

Kris kissed the back of her head and then dropped his hands to the floor to boost himself back up onto the bed. She turned to look at him and he grinned. “I actually have a craving to watch for a while. I think that Demetri should get naked and show us what the competition looks like.”

Demetri balked at the idea, staring at Kris with a shocked look on his face. “Would you feel better if Ever and the two of us got naked first?” asked Kris.

“Um, let me clarify something here. I’m into Ever, not the two of you.”

Kris chuckled. “Take my word for it, we aren’t into you either. Between us, it would be incest whether we are talking in were terms or human. We are not into incest. There are homosexual weres, but we aren’t among them. I was talking literally. You appear taller and slightly thinner than either of us with your clothing on, but you don’t wear anything tight or revealing. The only way for us to judge is for you to strip.”

“Would it matter if I was built thinner than you?”

“Probably not, but I know Ever would enjoy it. It must be a drag looking at three men who are pretty much carbon copies of one another. Variety is the spice of life or some such shit.”

Ever turned to slap him in the chest and he snatched her hand, kissing her fingers. “I have never said any such thing. I like the way the three of you look, and it is actually rather intriguing to be with three equally built men. I have to admit however, that I did take note of Demetri’s dick. It is amply matched with what I already have, and that is a good thing.”

She shot a glance at Demetri who looked quite embarrassed by her comment. “When did you see his dick?”

“When I turned back into a human earlier. I was hoping for the best and ended up falling on my ass. He gallantly came to check on me before putting his clothing back on. As you know, I rarely miss anything.”

“No, you don’t,” replied Kris. “I take it from the look on Demetri’s face that he wasn’t aware of that. I should warn you that she sees everything and can be the most evasive person I have ever met about acknowledging that she saw something. Don’t ever believe that she missed anything.”

Demetri sighed. “She was lying on the porch with her eyes closed and I thought that she had gotten hurt. The last thing on my mind was my dick.”

“It was the first thing on mine,” Ever commented with a snort of laughter. “I liked it.”

Liam lifted her off the floor, sitting her on the bed as he chuckled. “You are embarrassing the shit out of the poor man. Give him a break.”

“I’m sure that I will survive,” replied Demetri. “Do you crave to see me naked, Ever?”

“I would love it. Please strip for me.”

Demetri walked over and stood directly in front of her. He gazed down at her in the most seductive way. “I want a kiss first. I have wanted to taste your lips since I first saw them at the alpha ceremony.”

“I would like that very much.”

* * * *

He felt a bit weird about kneeling between her legs to kiss her, but it seemed the best way. Kris and Liam were both watching him, and he got the impression that this first experience with her was going to prove quite unnerving. He would have to get over it if he intended to stay. Ever was waiting, looking at him with her head tilted in the most enthralling way. Her lips were the perfect shade of dark pink and they were slightly wet because she had licked them in anticipation. With a flutter of nervousness in his chest, he leaned upward and grabbed two handfuls of her hair. If he was free to be slightly rough with her, then he intended to enjoy the luxury. He dragged her down to his mouth, his lips touching hers with feather softness that was in direct contrast to his handhold. Ever melded into the embrace, draping her arms over his shoulders as she allowed him to control the kiss. He backed off, gazing into her eyes, and then nipped the tip of her nose. His lips met hers again and he slid his tongue softly over her skin. Her lips parted, but he did not give her the satisfaction of entering them. Demetri wanted to take it slow and make it memorable. There was only one opportunity to give a woman a first kiss and it should be emblazoned on her mind as magnificent forever.

Ever slid her fingers up into his hair, caressing his scalp with her fingernails. It felt really good. Her touch was perfection, as if there was energy in her fingers. He wasn’t sure if she was in control of the magic or not, but he was in control of his. He returned the gesture, putting his palms to her cheeks and allowing a soft surge of power to flow against her skin. Ever leaned her head back, her mouth open as she blinked and then released a low moan. It had obviously given her an idea as he leaned to renew the kiss. He could feel the energy flowing more steadily through her fingers, a light pulse of arousal drifting downward into his cock. It was getting steadily harder as he accepted the part of her lips, filling her mouth with his tongue.

One of her hands slipped away from his head and he could feel her moving that side of her body. He glanced in the direction of the movement and saw that Liam was standing beside him. Ever had his dick in her hand and Liam was already extremely aroused. Liam grabbed a handful of her hair, peeling her head back from the kiss. “What the fuck is that, Ever? Oh fuck, that feels amazing. If you don’t stop, I’m not going to last long enough to fuck you.”

Ever giggled and released him. “How are we doing this?”

The lady was obviously ready and eager to go. So much for making it sweet and memorable.

Liam walked over to the chair with the extra-wide seat and pulled it away from the wall. “Ever, we got this chair just for you.”

“I know. It’s extra wide to hold my huge baby body.”

“Your pre-birth body no longer exists, and that wasn’t the reason.” Liam flipped up a piece of fabric and pulled a lever. The chair went back like a recliner. “I will give you the honor of sitting in it, Demetri. I think she has a sweet little ass and I completely enjoy fucking it. Strip and have a seat.”

Obviously, they didn’t believe in foreplay. Demetri wasn’t sure if he was going to like this arrangement. He was also not known for making snap decisions. He would let things play out and see what happened. Reluctantly stripping off his clothing, he went to sit in the chair. It was reclined slightly back and was completely comfortable, even though it was lacking a footrest. Liam flipped Ever’s robe up and pushed her flat to the bed. He dragged her panties downward and tossed them on the chair. A moment later, he pulled her up and lifted her into his arms. Walking across the room with her, he swung her lower body around and sat her sideways on Demetri’s lap. She leaned over and adjusted her legs so they were bent, her feet on the side of the wide seat.

Ever shocked him by throwing her upper body backward. Liam must have known what she was going to do, because he flawlessly caught her. “Demetri, take her legs and move them so she is straddling you.” Liam turned her body as Demetri shifted her left leg over his body. Liam then pushed Ever back into a sitting position.

She gave him a grin. “I think that I need to see if I can kneel without toppling over. If Liam lifts me, can you move my legs again?”

“I guess.”

Liam lifted her around her lower waist in a show of amazing strength. He didn’t even appear to be straining as he boosted her higher to allow Demetri to carefully bend her knees. Demetri took his time, stroking and caressing the skin of her calves and then her thighs. She was incredibly soft and the muscles felt oddly toned for someone who had been bedridden for so long. The problem certainly wasn’t the condition of her tautly muscled legs.

It was slightly difficult to know if he had her legs at the right angle, but it looked proper, at least. He took advantage of her position to swipe a rolling flicker of energy over her exposed clit as Liam slowly lowered her body.

Ever jumped, staring at him with her mouth wide in mock surprise. A slow, euphoric grin replaced the expression as she closed her eyes and moaned. He returned to rubbing her thighs.

Putting her hands to his chest, she shifted to readjust herself. “So far, so good. Now, where were we with that kiss? I was enjoying that.”

* * * *

Ever liked the way that Demetri kissed her. His lips were full and felt soft and warm. His tongue seemed to caress her mouth and she met it with lusty enjoyment. His hands were on her arms, pushing at her robe as she leaned upon his muscular chest to draw small circles on his cheeks. It was what she enjoyed having done to her face and she hoped he would get the point and do it back.

Liam was rubbing her shoulders, her body relaxing completely under his wonderful touch. He reached around the front of her body, unbuttoning her robe and then drawing it down over her shoulders. He couldn’t get it down over her arms in the position she was in and Ever was forced to sit up.

Demetri’s eyes caressed and fondled her, the gaze following the fabric as it drifted down her body. Liam threw the robe on the chair and it was then that she noticed the Kris had gotten up and was sitting to the side to watch. He gave her a smile and she returned it. Demetri’s hands slid up her sides, the touch soft and silky as he gathered her breasts in his palms.

She leaned forward to give him better access as Liam massaged his hands downward. A moment later, his touch was gone, but she was lost to the feel of Demetri as he harshly licked her nipple. It was a brief touch that left her skin puckering with wetness, and then he did the other, his hands massaging her flesh over and over, shifting and rolling her breasts with his fingers. He pressed on the harden nipples with his thumbs and Kris chuckled. “No. Her milk dried up the moments the babies started on solid food. It is slightly upsetting because I actually enjoyed the taste.”
