“That was amazing,” she whispered.
I turned my head, watching her. Warmth spread through me, the type of warmth I’d only ever felt with Flurry. Her dark hair stuck to her face, a sheen of sweat glistening on her skin.
Flurry slid his hand over her hip, gently stroking her. He met my gaze and winked.
“I have an idea,” Flurry said.
“I like ideas,” she whispered.
I smiled, slipping my hand into hers. She smiled back, letting out a satisfied sigh.
“I think we all should have some water, a shower, and then hot chocolate and a movie,” Flurry proposed.
“Deal,” she said.
“Excellent idea,” I agreed.
Really, everything about tonight had gone better than I could have ever dreamed.
CHAPTER 7
HOLLY
The scent of sizzling bacon wafted up my nose, rousing me from sleep. I tried to roll over, but I was trapped between two sturdy bodies.
Flurry and Klaus.
The three of us were naked, snuggled together in their monstrous sized bed. There was more than enough room, but they’d plastered themselves on either side of me when we finally called it a night.
The memories of all the ways they’d fucked me flooded my mind, making me clench my thighs together. I was sore, but it was a pleasant type of sore. A lingering reminder of them. It wasn’t like I needed a reminder, though. Being spit roasted by a yeti and krampus wasn’t something you forgot.
“Holly,” Flurry groaned, sliding a rough palm over my bare waist. “You have to get yourself under control, angel. I can’t go for another round right now.”
Shit. I forgot about their whole ‘I can smell your arousal’ thing. I fought back a smile.
Klaus wrapped his arm around me, reaching for Flurry’s hand. I watched as their fingers intertwined together. “I agree with the yeti, Princess. You ran us ragged.”
I giggled and snuggled deeper into the bed. “Trust me. Sex is the last thing on my mind. I am hungry, though.”
Klaus sighed. “Marco will be pissed if we let the food get cold.”
Flurry planted a soft kiss on my head, then rolled out of bed. I couldn’t help but steal a glance at his muscular back and tight, furry ass as he strolled into the bathroom.
“He truly is a work of art,” Klaus said.
I could hear the adoration in his voice, the love for his mate.
“He is.” I twined my fingers with Klaus’。 “And you are too.”
A pleased sound rumbled out of his chest, a deep, gravelly purr that made my limbs feel heavy.
Flurry returned from the bathroom and beamed at us. “He must like you, snow angel.”
He was wearing a blue robe with the Growlers’ logo embroidered on the chest, and he passed one to Klaus and me.
“Sorry,” Klaus said, noticing that I was swimming in a sea of blue fleece. “I’ll make sure to order one in your size.”
My heart stuttered.
Order one in my size…
It was a clear indicator that this—whatever it was—would happen again.
Flurry grabbed my hand to help me out of bed, his significantly larger one practically swallowing mine whole. I liked that they were bigger. For the first time in my life, it was nice to feel small—dainty, even. Knowing that they could manhandle me, throw me over their shoulders and toss me around, was such a turn on.
Flurry’s grip tightened, and I looked up at him, noticing his flaring nostrils. His expanded pupils obscured his blue eyes.
Oh, right. The arousal thing.
“Sorry,” I murmured. I could feel the blush creeping up my chest, along my neck, until it warmed the apples of my cheeks.
He ran his thumb along the back of my hand with a gentleness you wouldn’t expect from a lumbering giant of a monster. “No need to apologize, snow angel. I liked getting a glimpse into that pretty little head of yours.” He lowered his voice. “Especially when it comes to how turned on we make you.”
Klaus chuckled warmly behind us, ushering us out of the bedroom and down to the dining room. The moment we crossed the threshold, more appetizing scents hit me, making my mouth water. Flaky, buttery croissants, a tray full of scrambled eggs, the bacon that called to me with its siren song; all of that and more was spread out on the table.
Like the gentleman he was, Klaus pulled out my chair, and I shimmied into my seat.
“Marco has really outdone himself.” I surveyed the food, eager to load up my plate. After last night, I’d worked up quite the appetite.
Flurry snorted. “He has outdone himself. This certainly isn’t the treatment I receive.” He gave Klaus a knowing look, his blue eyes glinting like tourmaline.
Klaus cleared his throat. “I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I thought it best to cover all my bases.”
Tears blurred the edges of my vision, threatening to glide down my cheeks and into my plate of home fries. I wasn’t used to that type of kindness or treatment. I’d never been in a relationship with someone who seemed to constantly go out of their way for me.
“Princess.” Klaus reached out and gave my forearm a reassuring caress. “It’s part of our nature to want to provide for you. To keep you safe and comfortable.”
Their nature?
Did that mean what they mentioned yesterday, about them suspecting I was their mate?
My confusion must have been clear on my face.
Flurry smiled softly, his tusks making little indents in his upper lip. “Don’t think about it too hard. Just play it by ear. What happens, happens.”
Klaus chuckled into his coffee, and steam billowed over the lip of the cup. “Yes, just play it by ear.”
His remark made me even more confused.
Was there something they weren’t telling me?
I didn’t dwell on it long, though. The delicious breakfast Marco had prepared for us pulled our attention away from the mystery of mating bonds.
We quietly dug into our food and when I was on my third strip of bacon, Marco rushed into the dining room with a tray of beignets. A snowy layer of powdered sugar dusted the fried pillows of dough.
Snow.
“Thank you for breakfast, Marco. Has the snow stopped?” I asked, reaching for a beignet.
“Ah, ah. They’re still hot,” he scolded, sliding the tray just out of my reach. “I can’t have you burning yourself. I’d be fired. The snow stopped late last night and on my flight in, it looked like most of the main roadways were already cleared.”
“Oh.” I sounded just as forlorn as I felt. I was in no rush to leave Klaus and Flurry, to get back to work, and the real world, and a life where I wasn’t sandwiched between two attractive males who fed me bacon and beignets.
Technically, it was Marco who fed me, but that was beside the point. He was employed by Klaus, so it meant just as much.
“Well, then.” Klaus squinted at the gilded clock on the wall separating the dining room from the kitchen. “I suppose after breakfast we should get ready for practice and drop Holly off at her car.”
A pang of disappointment made my chest constrict. I knew our date wasn’t going to last forever, but I had hoped the snowstorm would buy us some extra time.
Damn the efficiency of the Michigan road maintenance crew.
Flurry must have noticed my expression drop. “What about later, snow angel? Any plans this evening?”
