Seth
I knew that Bayley was alive before this, but still it's kind of unreal to see her walking around and being active with everyone after seeing her lifeless not too long ago. I'm sure neither Bayley nor Roman wanted everyone to find out the way that they did, but, after the first few moments, most of the women broke the awkward silence. The tearful reunion was followed by a gleeful party. Corey broke out the liquor and proceeded to make a bunch of mixed drinks. A.J. plugged in her iPod to her speakers and blasted some really loud music. We played a bunch of drinking games and toasted to Bayley several times. Paige and Eve were the only ones didn't get in on the fun. Hell even Layla joined in, and, even though Punk doesn't drink, he made himself from some non-alcoholic drinks so he could still be social with everybody, but Eve walked out of the Den before the festivities started, while Paige went up to her room.
I feel bad for Paige. I know that she is happy that Bayley's alive, but she may feel like Roman is taking Bayley away from her. I sneak away from the party and go upstairs to talk to Paige. When I reach her room, the lights are off, but her door is wide open. However, it looks like Sami was also worried about Paige because he's in her room right now. I decide not to disturb them, but I stick around just in case Sami needs help calming Paige down.
"Hey, Paige. You okay," Sami asks sincerely.
"Does it look like I'm fucking okay," she yells at him before throwing a chair from one side of the room to the other side. The chair hits the wall hard and shatters on impact. All I can do is flinch at the action. Alright so maybe Sami shouldn't have asked that.
"Fair enough. What's wrong?"
"That asshole marked her! Why does no one else see how wrong that is?"
"What's so wrong about it, Paige?"
"He let her die! He doesn't deserve her!"
"You and I both know that he didn't let her die, but that's not the real reason your upset." She looks down and takes a seat on her bed.
"I just got her back, Sami." Her face is getting red and her eyes are watery. "Why'd he have to be selfish and take her away from me again?"
"Paige, Bayley is your twin sister. No one can take her away from you."
"But she's his now."
"And he's hers. According to your logic, Dean and Seth lost their triplet."
"But they still have each other!" She stands up and gets in my face. "Who do I have now?!"
"You still have Bayley," Sami reassures her. "You'll always be sisters, and right now you're the one being selfish."
"How am I being selfish?"
"Paige, you lost your sister, and the whole pack lost its heart. You got her back and now you don't want to share her."
"She's MY SISTER!"
"She's also a friend, a role model, the love of Roman's life and the rock of this pack! You can't keep her all to yourself and to do so is selfish." She returns to her bed and sits down, running her fingers over her face and through her hair. "And don't you think that your selfishness is taking away from Bayley's happiness?" Her head snaps up to look at Sami directly with a look of astonishment. "Paige, you know Bayley's had a crush on Roman since forever. Don't you think she's elated that this finally happened for her? Don't you think that she'd want to share her happiness with her one and only sister?"
"I guess I didn't think about that." She takes in a deep breath and exhales audibly. "I don't want to take anything away from her, I just… I just don't want to lose her."
"Listen," Sami walks over to her and sit down next to her. "No one is taking Bayley from you. She's going to be your sister regardless of any other relationships she's in, and right now I'm sure Bayley wants her sister to be happy for her." Paige nods and gets up from the bed.
"Thanks."
"Not a problem." Paige makes her way to the door, but before she sees me I duck into the nearest bathroom. I wait until Sami passes by too before I come out of the bathroom. Hopefully, now Bayley can get her proper welcome back reception. I'm glad Sami was able to get through to Paige. I begin to follow the both of them back downstairs when I run into Punk on the staircase. "Where you going, Punk? The party's downstairs."
"I need to make those calls to our international pack members."
"We're still invading the Realm of Sirens?"
"Just because Bayley's back doesn't take away from the fact that the sirens killed her. They still have to pay. Besides, do you have a better way to end the war?"
"Nah, I guess not."
Punk resumes walking to his room. I was just going to leave it alone until I remembered that Roman told me to tell Punk about Renee. I turn around quickly to catch him before he goes to his room. "Punk, wait!"
"What? What is it?"
"You remember that witch I mentioned a few days ago?"
"Yeah the one who helped you with the groceries, right?"
"Yeah, well… she's the one who brought Bayley back from the dead." He silently nods.
"We'll have to thank her then."
"Yeah, but also," Punk remains silent and waits for me to continue, "witches don't have the power to bring people back to life, only sirens do." He nods slowly in contemplation.
"So what you're saying is that she lied about being a witch and she's actually a siren." I nod in confirmation. "I want her as our prisoner, locked up in the basement by tomorrow, the latest. Make it happen, Seth."
"Prisoner? We don't know that she's a bad siren. What if she's like Kaitlyn?"
"We can't take that chance. I want her as our prisoner Seth. Make it happen."
A.J.
It is so good to have Bayley back! Bayley has been really kind to me since we met, and she's been a great shoulder to cry on. Losing her was… it just hurt me so much. I know I haven't known her for long, but still to see her dead was… awful. I wasn't the only one who was sad about it either. I've never seen all of these wolves so upset since I've known them. Even Corey displayed emotion, although it was mostly rage. Punk surprised me though. I could tell he was fighting his emotions the entire time yesterday, and the look on his face when he said that they were going to invade the Realm of Sirens… I never want to see that look again. He looked beyond angry, beyond pissed, beyond sad. He looked feral, dangerous, murderous even. It was really scary to see him that way.
Bayley's welcome back celebration aptly ended after Jojo woke up and came downstairs. It definitely sucked, but we couldn't continue to drink with a little girl walking around. Paige came back downstairs with Sami shortly after and picked Jojo up. Paige told her twin that she wanted to speak to her and three of them went upstairs. Seth came downstairs too and told everyone that he was going out. Then he left. He didn't look like the regular Seth. He looked really deeply disturbed by something. I wonder what his problem is.
Everyone else decided to go to bed. They had just come home from guard duty about an hour ago, so I would imagine that they're exhausted. As I watch everyone leave, I notice that Punk isn't here. Did he leave earlier, and I didn't notice? He probably went back to his room, but I wonder if he's okay. After cleaning up and washing the cups that all of us used, I decide to check on Punk.
When I get to his room, his door is open and I see him sitting at the desk, talking on the phone. I don't think he's noticed that I've entered; either that or he doesn't care because he doesn't acknowledge my presence at all and continues his conversation.
"Yeah, I know it's been a while, man. How've you been?" I guess he's talking to a friend. "Yeah, I know about what's up in Europe. I actually just got off the phone with Barrett and Neville… No, it's really bad over there. That's actually why I'm calling. We're building an army to invade the Realm of Sirens." No! They can't do that! Bayley's alive, why is he still going through with this plan?! "Thanks man! We don't have a full blown plan of attack yet, but by the time you and everyone else get here, we'll have all the knowledge we'll need to end the war… No problem. Thanks again Kofi, I'll talk to you later." He hangs up the phone and looks up at me. "What's with the face?"
"You're still going through with this plan?" He stands up and approaches to me.
"How else are we going to end the war, April?"
"I don't know, but you can't honestly think that you stand a chance if you go through with this!"
"Keep your voice down. My pack needs their sleep," he tells me as he closes the door.
"This mission is suicide, Punk."
"No it's not. We won't go in there blind. We'll have a plan. Layla assured me that there's a way to defeat the sirens."
"What if that's not enough?" I can feel my eyes getting watery. I don't want to cry, but what if Punk goes through with this crazy plan and they don't come back? What if Kaitlyn doesn't come back? What if Punk doesn't come back? Having to go through Bayley's death was hard enough; I can't go through any more.
"It'll be enough. I'm not going to allow us to fail."
"It's not about that. What if one of you doesn't come back? What if you don't come back?" I'm crying now. I just can't hold back my tears. Even thinking about that happening just makes me really emotional.
"April," he closes the space between us and cups my cheek, using his thumb to wipe away my tears. "We're all coming back. I'm coming back." I look him directly in his crystal blue eyes. I want to believe him, but after I've seen what the sirens are capable of, I can't help but have doubts.
"But what if you don't?" His gaze deepens and he leans closer to me, placing a kiss on my cheek.
He whispers to me softly, "Then we better make the most of today." I know I shouldn't do this again. I have no future with this man, this wolf I should say, but still the thought of never seeing him again, the thought of him being gone from this world completely… I just throw out all thought and decide to live in this moment. Who knows when we'll have another chance to do this? If he doesn't come back and I didn't take advantage of the time we had left, I'd never forgive myself. I kiss him hard, locking my hands around his neck and pulling him closer to me. One more time, just once more.
CM Punk
I can't begin to articulate how grateful I am that she decided to give me this chance. I don't know if she'll let me do this again. Hell, I didn't even know how she'd respond to me just now. If this is the last time, then so be it, but I will damn sure take advantage of it.
I never break our kiss as I hook my arm under her legs and carry her to bed. I gently place her on the middle of my bed and hover over her. I slow down our kiss just to savor it. I don't want this to be like the last time: rushed, rough, purely to satiate our carnal desires. This time I want to take my time with her, draw out the feeling of being with her for as long as I can. I want to be gentle with her, show her how much I care about her, and let her know how sorry I am that I can't promise her a future. I wish I could. I wish I could give her everything that she deserves and be that person that she wants, but I can't. This is all I can give her, so I'll make it something she'll never forget. I move slowly from her lips to her neck as she wraps her legs around my waist. She starts grinding her hips up into mine. She's being more aggressive this time around. That's okay, I'm glad that she is. I continue kissing and sucking on her neck before she rolls me on my back and straddles me. She sits up and looks down at me with her lips curved up into a smile. She's looks so beautiful and seductive… if I wasn't hard before, I am definitely hard now. She helps me out of my shirt before taking hers off and reaching behind her back to unsnap her bra before throwing it to the side. I could stare at her topless all day if she let me. She leans over me and kisses me passionately. My hands go to her back and rub her smooth skin. I sit up taking her with me as I leave her mouth and kiss my way down to her breasts before taking one in mouth. She lets out a small gasp which turns into a moan. I wrap one arm around her waist, bringing her closer to me as I bring my other hand to knead at her free breast. Her hands move through my hair and around my neck as I suck harder on her breast. I look up at her to see her looking down at me with her lower lip pulled between her teeth. She's trying to stop herself from moaning, but I need to hear her noises of pleasure. I roll her nipple between my thumb and index finger. She gasps again and throws her head back. I switch breasts slowly and switch our positions at the same time, laying her underneath me. "Punk, please I can't wait," I hear her say. I sit up and unbuckle her belt and unbutton her shorts.
"What's the rush, babe?" She giggles as I slide down her shorts and panties, throwing them on the floor, along with her Converse sneakers. I slide down her body and in between her legs, holding them open as I place open mouthed kisses on her inner thighs. I tease her by kissing up to her pussy but never touching it. Instead, I move back down her thigh and nibble on the sensitive skin. It elicits several loud moans that are just music to my ears. I finally decide to stop torturing her and place a hard kiss on her clit before sucking on it while penetrating her with my index and middle fingers.
"Punk," she yelps. She might wake up my pack, but right now, all that matters is the two of us, making the most of whatever time we have left together.
"You taste so sweet," I tease her as I suck on her harder. I find her spot and continually caress it with my two fingers. She bucks her hips to keep up with my fingers. I look up at her, but I can't even see her face because her back is arched and her hands are grabbing on tightly to her perfect breasts. Suddenly, she begins to tremble and I know she's close. I replace my tongue with my thumb and gently draw circles around her clit. I kiss up her body and reach her lips, kissing her gently before whispering in her ear. "Squirt for me, April." Her body convulses and I feel her walls tightening around my fingers. I continue to pump into her as her orgasm comes gushing out of her, landing on my arm and pants. I don't even care about my pants to be honest. I can always get them cleaned later. Watching her squirt is the single sexiest thing I could ever see. Her eyes roll to the back of her head as aftershocks of her orgasm course through her body. I finally take my fingers out of her and hold her closely to me. "You look so beautiful when you squirt, baby." She giggles and continues to tremble in my arms. I run my fingers up and down her spine and kiss her gently. Her lips are so addictive. I could kiss them all day and never be bored. I feel her calm down, but before I can do anything I'm on my back again while April pulls off my pants and underwear, along with my sneakers. She climbs on top of me and grabs my cock, pumping it a few times before guiding it inside of her. "Oh shit," I moan. The feeling of being inside of her is just… overwhelming. She's so warm and wet. I love how she just molds to me, like we were made for each other. She waits for a minute to allow herself to adjust to me. She looks down at me and kisses me before she places both her hands on my chest and slowly begins to ride me. She rocks her hips back and forth, keeping a slow and steady pace. I put my hands on her hips, not to help her or guide her but just so I have something to grab onto as she takes me for the ride of my life. She starts to bounce up and down on me and I can barely keep my eyes open. I lean my head back on my pillows and close my eyes momentarily, allowing myself to really enjoy being surrounded by her warmth. I open my eyes again and soak in the sight. Her eyes closed tightly as she continues to bounce up and down on me, her breasts bouncing lightly with her, and between us, I can see myself sinking into her with every thrust she takes, with her juices lightly leaking onto me. The sight is almost too much for me, but I can't take my eyes off of it.
We stay like this, completely immersed in one another for what feels like forever. She breaks out into a light sweat, making her skin glisten, which only brings me closer to my end. She alternates between grinding back and forth on me and bouncing on my dick before she takes me as deep as she can and grinds her hips in a circular motion.
"Oh fuck," I moan aloud. This human, this woman, is riding me for all I'm worth. I dig my fingers into her hips deep in an attempt to hold back my impending orgasm. I know it's going to leave a mark, but I don't care. I want to leave her with a reminder of what we have between us. She stops grinding and returns to bouncing on me, moving faster and faster with each thrust, setting a pace that she can't possibly keep up for much longer. I hope she cums soon. I can't last for much longer.
"Punk," she pants. "I'm g-gonna c-cum. I can't hold b-back any l-longer." Good.
"Cum with me," I tell her breathlessly as I grip her hips tighter and meet her thrust for thrust. Our movements become chaotic, trying desperately to reach our ends. After a few more thrusts, I can't hold out anymore, and cum inside her, pumping load after load into her.
"Oh fuck," she screams as she cums, shooting her juices past my dick, landing on my pelvis and thighs. We pant loudly, trying to catch our breath. I pull her down to me and kiss her softly but passionately as I roll her over to my side. I begin to slide out of her, but her hands go to my hips to stop me. "No, please," she whimpers. "Stay inside me, please?" I nod at her and she lays her head on my chest. The both of us fall asleep like this, tangled with one another, holding each other closely.
Kaitlyn
After Bayley's welcome back party ended, Dean and I retired to his room. I sat on the bed as he went to the bathroom to take a shower. It really sucks that he doesn't have his own private bathroom. A.J. told me that Punk does. I wonder if any other rooms in this place have their own bathrooms. With how many people live here I imagine that there have to be a good amount.
While waiting for Dean to come back, my mind begins to drift. The events of the past few days are heavy on my mind, especially what occurred just yesterday and today. It's great to have Bayley back, and I couldn't be happier for her now that she and Roman are mates. It kind of makes me think about Dean. Does he want to mark me? Does he even want a mate? He was with Summer for almost six years and never marked her. I mean, Dean and I have only known each other for a couple of days, but I feel like we're moving so fast emotionally. I mean we haven't said... those words to one another yet, but we've certainly been getting more physical, and I do feel a profound emotional connection to him. I mean, he's been there for me through all this drama with Natalya and the sirens, and he was especially there for me when I killed Jojo's family. It's still so hard to believe that all this happened!
I grew up with the sirens. Natalya was practically my adopted mother, and Rosa and Alicia were like my big sisters. They were my family and I knew I could always count on them, but everything's changed now. Natalya lied to me about my parents' death and had been using me from the very beginning, Rosa and Alicia killed Bayley for no good reason, and the entire Natalya is looking to exterminate the wolves. Why is she doing this? What could possibly be Natalya's motive?
"Kaitlyn, you okay?" Dean breaks my train of thought. I immediately come out of my daze and turn my attention to him. He only has his pajama pants on and his skin and hair are still damp. I get hot all over and quickly turn my head to look at the dresser next to the window.
"I'm okay," I reply to him after regaining my senses. "Um, enjoy your shower?" Why did I bring that up?! The last thing I need is an image in my head of Dean showering.
"It was a regular shower. How much could I enjoy it?" I know he's teasing me. He loves teasing me.
"I don't know what you do while you shower." He lets out a low chuckle and walks toward me. I'm getting nervous now. Dean and I have been getting more physical, but we haven't been… completely intimate yet. Despite everything, I still think that having sex right now would ruin what we have. Dean and I have a bond that I've never felt with anybody. Granted, I don't have much experience dating. While living in the Realm of Sirens, I wasn't exposed to men at all. My first interactions with men were when I first moved to Gilford. Even then I didn't have my first boyfriend until I got my job at the bar, and he was my boss nonetheless. I didn't think dating my boss was a big deal until I told A.J. about it. She told me that, typically, relationships at the workplace never work out, but I didn't listen to her. Looking back on it, I should have taken her advice to heart. I dated him for six months before losing my virginity to him. A month later he left me. I don't know if he left me for another woman or not, I never bothered to ask him, although, it did make things awkward at work.
Once again I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Dean gets on his knees in front of me and twirls a lock of my hair in his left hand. "What's on your mind, Katie," he asks me with a smirk on his face. I give him a small smile in return.
"I was just thinking about the last few days. We've all been through a lot, but I'm really happy that Bayley's back. She's been really great through this whole thing, for me, for A.J. and especially Jojo. I'm glad we didn't have to say good-bye forever."
"Yeah, I'm glad to have her back too. I wasn't expecting for her to come back as Roman's mate though."
"That was a surprise for me too, but I'm happy for them. They balance each other well."
"I guess." Dean sighs deeply and stands up to walk over to the dresser.
"Are you okay? You seem a little… perplexed."
"I just hope they're careful, you know? The curse is still floating above our heads, and being marked only intensifies your sexual desire, but as long as they're smart and use protection, we won't have to worry about losing Bayley again."
"That works?"
"What works," he asks as he gets out a black, sleeveless undershirt and puts it on.
"Contraceptives. They work on wolves?"
"Why wouldn't a condom work for us?" I feel stupid. If I had taken the time to actually think about it, I could have come to that conclusion by myself.
"Yeah, I guess that was a dumb question." I stand up and walk up to Dean, hugging him from behind. I lean my head on his back and close my eyes, taking in his scent; just letting the smell fill my lungs. I've never smelt anything so… soothing.
"What's gotten into you, Katie," he asks me kindly as his hands grab mine and bring them up to his lips. He kisses my fingers gently, and I can feel my face becoming flushed.
"Nothing. I guess knowing that Bayley and Roman are mates, makes me think how lucky I am to have you."
"Are you thinking you want to be mates too?"
"No, it's too soon for that. We haven't even had sex yet." He turns around in my arms and wraps his arms around my waist, holding me tightly. He leans down and kisses me softly before bringing his lips to my ear.
"We can change that right now if you want," he whispers. I can't help but giggle at him. This wolf is beyond horny. I push on his chest and look up at his grinning face. I shake my head negative and smile at him.
"Right now I'm just really grateful to have you in my life. You've done a lot for me since we met, and you didn't have to." He brings his right hand up to my face and slowly traces my lips with his thumb before kissing me. At first I think it's just going to be a quick peck, but it quickly escalates. Ugh, I just said that I didn't want to have sex yet! He's totally doing this on purpose. I stop our kiss and pull away from him, but I don't get far. He wraps his arms around my waist again to keep me close and attacks my neck with his lips. "Dean, come on." I can't really form a complete sentence. I love feeling his mouth on my neck. As soon as I know it, I'm whimpering in ecstasy. Damn, why does he have to have such a talented mouth? "Dean-oh, we need… to… s-stop."
"Why? We don't need to have sex. We're just having some fun," I can't help but laugh at him.
"I-I need t-to take a shower." It's definitely an excuse to get me out of this situation, but it's also true.
"You can't put that off for fifteen minutes to play with me?"
"N-no," I pant out. "J-just let me go s-so I can bathe." Although I'm sure he can smell my arousal, I know he'll respect my wishes and let me go.
"Fine," he tells me exasperated. "Don't take too long, though." He winks at me and releases me from his grasp. I flash him a small smile before gathering my PJs, towel and washcloth and heading to the bathroom.
Dean
I've got to say that this no sex thing is killing me. I understand that she wants to wait, I respect that but playing the waiting game has never been one of my strengths. Granted, the little things we've been doing the past two days have been great. I especially needed it yesterday after my guard duty shift with Sheamus. He wouldn't fucking shut up the entire time. He kept talking about how I need to my emotions in check if I plan to stay a member of this pack. Like Punk would ever banish me. Not to mention that Seth and Roman would go ballistic and raise hell, if the subject was even brought up. I honestly think he wanted me to hit him so he could tell Kaitlyn. I know Sheamus saw how upset she was with me when Seth and Roman finally pulled me off of him during our fight. He probably thought that he could capitalize on it and convince her to leave me alone if I fought him again, but I didn't play into his little game. I took a page out of Bayley's book and ignored him. All that night I focused my energy on guarding the humans. After a while, Sheamus's voice just ended up being background noise. After all, the last thing I needed was another reason for Kaitlyn to be mad at me.
It takes nearly an hour, but Kaitlyn finally comes back from the bathroom. She has on shorts that cling to her hips and an extra-large shirt that fit loosely on her frame. She has a towel on her head and rubs it on her hair for a few seconds before taking it off and letting her wet hair fall past her shoulders. Damn I want to ravish her body so badly. She throws the towel in the laundry bin and gets in the bed next to me.
"You took your time," I tease her. She turns on her side to face me and looks at me, smiling.
"I needed to be thorough," she explains.
"Thorough, huh?" I bring her closer to me and kiss her lips quickly. I'll never get tired of kissing her. Her lips are just too soft and kissable. When we break she continues braiding her hair. When she finishes, she leans her head on my chest and we just lay back and relax.
"So you never told me what happened between you and Sheamus that made you fight."
"That's in the past, Kaitlyn. Can't we leave it there?"
"No," she tells me while drawing circles on my chest with the tip of her finger. "Punk blamed me for the fight, so I want to know if I was really the reason you guys were fighting." I take a deep breath. I don't want her to blame herself. After all, she wasn't the reason I fought Sheamus. Sheamus was the reason I fought Sheamus.
"You were the topic we discussed before I hit him." I feel her head leave my chest, and I look down at her. The look on her face is one of embarrassment and guilt. "Hey don't go blaming yourself. Sheamus was the one talking so much crap. That's the reason I kicked his ass."
"But the fight started over me."
"Kaitlyn, if he would have just kept his nose out of our business he wouldn't have gotten his ass handed to him. Don't take credit for his stupid choices."
"What did he say about me that got you mad enough to hit him?"
"He told me that I would fuck up with you like I did with Summer, and that he would be waiting for you when I do." She places her head back on my chest.
"You don't believe him do you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like, you don't believe that I would go to him, do you?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Why else would you want to fight him unless you thought there was a chance that he was right?" I never thought about it that way. Am I worried that I'll fuck up and Kaitlyn would leave me for him? I couldn't be worried about that… could I? "Your silence says a lot."
"I don't know to be honest, Katie. I'd like to think that I wouldn't believe a word he says, but… I guess a part of me does."
"Dean," she climbs on top of me, straddling my hips and sitting up. I look up at her in awe. How can someone be so beautiful? "You never have to worry about that, okay? Sheamus will never get in between the two of us. I would never leave you for him, and don't worry about fucking up. I'm not that petty. Whatever problems we come across we'll work through." I nod at her and place my hands on her hips. I seriously need to not mess up what I have with this woman. "Good. Now I need you to make peace with him." I make a face at her. Why in the world should I make peace with that jerk?
"Why would I do that?"
"Dean, after almost losing Bayley, I think we need to make sure that all of us are on a united front. We can't afford to have the slightest rift on our team or Natalya will take advantage of it." I can see her point, but I have my reservations about trusting Sheamus.
"I don't know Kaitlyn. I mean I thought we were cool, but apparently not if he insists on coming between us."
"Come on, Dean. Please?" Ugh, why'd she have to say please? I mean if it's that important to her, I could work something out with Sheamus. Of course, I could use her request to my advantage.
"If I do this," I begin as I move my right hand from her hip and gently stroke her upper arm, "what would I get out of it?" A sinister smile spreads across her face and I know she's picked up on my hint.
"Just lay back and relax while I show you." She moves lower on me and gets in between my legs before pulling down my pants and underwear. I'm already a little hard from when she sat on me, but I guess that's not enough for her. She wraps her small hand around my cock and starts pumping it up and down, instantly making me grow rock hard. I lay my head back and try to control my breathing, she's barely done anything, and I already think I might lose it! Suddenly I feel her tongue licking the tip of my cock and I can't even believe it! Is she really about to give me head?! I prop myself up on my elbows so I can watch her. She looks up at me and smiles seductively as she licks me from the base of my dick to the tip. She repeats the action several times before kissing the head and finally taking me in her mouth.
"Oh, shit," I whisper. I didn't mean to say anything, but it just kind of slipped out. I guess she heard it because I can feel the vibration of her giggles on my dick as she sucks more of it in her mouth. That's definitely not helping. I'm not usually so vocal during any kind of sex, although I love making women scream with pleasure. Call it what you like, it's just how I operate, but Kaitlyn? She's different. Something about her makes me lose control.
She takes more of me into her mouth before she bobs her head up and down, sucking me for all I'm worth. This feels way too good. I didn't think she'd give me head. I thought I would get another hand job, but damn am I glad she decided to do this instead! She sits up on her knees so that her ass in air as she sucks on me harder, bringing her hands just above my cock. Her eyes lock with mine. This view is fucking spectacular, and I'm trying desperately not to moan any louder. "Fuck, Katie, you look so sexy doing that," I compliment her. She hums in response and I can feel the vibrations on my dick. "Fuck," I moan out a little louder. I don't know how much longer I can last. Between the hard sucking, sexy view and soft vibrations, I'm about to burst. She moves one of her hands lower, dragging it down my skin before it reaches its destination and gently begins to massage my balls. I throw my head back instantly. "Katie, I-I'm gonna cum," I warn her. She grabs the base of my cock and continues massaging my balls as she removes her mouth for a moment.
"Cum for me, please? I want to taste you." That has got to be the hottest thing any woman has ever said to me! She immediately goes back to sucking me, but this time I can feel the head of my cock reach the back of her throat repeatedly. If I thought I was going to burst before, I am definitely going to burst now. My fingers tangle themselves in her soft, damp hair to keep her head in place as I cum… hard. My seed shoots into her mouth and I feel her gulp down every drop. My climax finally subsides, shooting the last of my cum into her waiting mouth. I collapse back on the bed and let go of her hair. I'm still trying to catch my breath when I feel her give my dick one last lick before she kisses up to my chest and neck before landing her lips on mine and laying on top of me. She rolls off of me to lie down beside me, putting her head on my chest and brings her fingers to trace… something on my abs. "How was that?"
"Do you really have to ask," I ask her, completely out of breath.
"Promise me you'll work it out then?" I look down at her and lock my gaze with hers before giving her a smirk.
"I promise you, I will work it out."
Bayley
When Paige took me away from the party, we went up to her room and talked. She apologized for freaking out about Roman and me being mates. She explained that she had thought that Roman was taking me away from her and she felt like she was losing me all over again. I told her that we'll always be sisters and that nobody would ever come between us, not even Roman. The whole conversation went over little Jojo's head who sat on the floor the whole time with a blank expression on her face. When Paige and I finished talking, I left her room with Jojo so that Paige could get some sleep.
When we get downstairs, I don't see anyone. They must have gone to sleep after Paige and I went to her room. That's cool. All of them are probably exhausted after being up all night on guard duty and then coming home to see me alive. "Bayley?" Jojo's little voice brings me out of my thoughts.
"What is it, sweetie?"
"I hungry." Of course she's hungry. She just woke up after all.
"Okay, let's get you something to eat then." I can just get her some cereal. I don't want to try to cook something and set the oven on fire like I almost did last time. Speaking of cooking, I wonder if Roman will want me to learn how to cook now that we're mates. I don't know how this whole thing works. I mean, I've never even been in a relationship, or anything like that! As I walk into the kitchen, I find Ms. Layla making tea. "Hi, Ms. Layla," I say to grab her attention.
"Hello, love," she turns around with a wide smile on her face. "Would you like some tea?"
"No, thank you. I just need to get some breakfast for Jojo." Jojo comes out from behind me with her thumb in her mouth and looks up at Ms. Layla.
"Hi Ms. Layla," Jojo greets Ms. Layla, giving her a small wave.
"Hi there, Jojo," Ms. Layla bends down to look Jojo eye to eye. "Bayley tells me you're hungry. Is that right?" Jojo nods her head, keeping her thumb in her mouth. "Okay, do you want some pancakes?" Jojo's thumb leaves her mouth and a huge smile makes its way across her face. She jumps up and down yelling, "pancakes, pancakes!"
"Ms. Layla, I don't know how to make pancakes," I point out.
"Not a problem, love. I'll help you. Why don't we set up Jojo to color in the living room, and we'll cook her some breakfast. I need to talk to you anyway." Uh-oh. She needs to talk to me? It has to be about me and Roman. What else could she have to talk to me about? I'm nervous and scared, but I don't want Jojo to think anything's wrong.
"Okay," I respond, as I try to hide the fact that I'm super nervous. "Let me get Jojo some coloring things, and I'll be back soon." I want to take my time getting these things. I'm in no rush at all to speak to Ms. Layla by myself, but I can't put it off for too long. Jojo's hungry and it would be wrong for her to suffer because of me. I go upstairs to the library. Sami and Paige are working on rebuilding the children's section so we can start Jojo's education soon. I know for a fact we have some coloring books, blank paged notebooks and crayons there. I find them easily and head back downstairs, where Jojo is patiently waiting for me on the couch. "Here you go Jojo." She grabs the big box of crayons and coloring books out of my hands, gently. "What do you say?"
"Thank you!" She sits on the floor and begins to color. I walk over to the kitchen entrance and take a deep breath before walking in.
"Sorry if I took too long Ms. Layla," I apologize to her.
"Not an issue Bayley. You weren't gone long." Ms. Layla goes into the refrigerator and starts taking out the milk, eggs and butter. "Bayley, can you get the flour, baking powder and sugar from the cupboard?"
"Sure." I walk over to the cupboard and get out everything that Ms. Layla asked me to get. When I go back to her, I see that she's taken out some strawberries and blueberries. "What are the berries for Ms. Layla?"
"We can't just make Jojo pancakes. That's not good for her. She needs a good nutritional balance. In fact, let me get out some meat." Ms. Layla has always been good at knowing what to eat. I've always had someone make me my meals so I never really learned anything about it. Ms. Layla walks back to me holding a pack of turkey sausage and turkey bacon. "Which one do you think she would like better?"
"Sausage, definitely."
"Good choice. It'll be easier to cut up for her too." Ms. Layla and I start cooking.
It was easy once I got the hang of it. I got to make the pancake batter and cook the sausages. Ms. Layla had me watch her cook the pancakes. She thought that flipping them and knowing when to flip them wasn't something that I was ready for just yet. "So, you're probably wondering what I wanted to talk to you about," Ms. Layla said as she was making the second small pancake.
"Yeah, I'm kind of nervous about it."
"Oh, love! No need to be nervous! It's nothing bad." I exhale audibly. It's a relief to know that I'm not in trouble. "I wanted to congratulate you on finding your mate, and finally getting Roman to settle down."
"Really? I thought you were still mad at him."
"I admit that sometimes the thought of what he did crosses my mind," she laughs. "But honestly, I've let that go. Roman and I… we were young, and he was going through a very difficult time in his life. Was it right that he cheated on me and used Eve the way that he did to get through it? No, but you learn from your mistakes and you grow. Roman has grown a lot since the blow up, and he's apologized so I can't hold it against him."
"What about Ms. Eve? She seems really upset."
"I can't speak for Eve, Bayley, but she's going to have to make peace with this at some point," she puts the flame on low and faces me. "As for me, I just want to let you know that I'm truly happy for the both of you." She gives me a genuine smile and holds out her arms. I know exactly what she wants, and I'm too happy to jump in her arms and give her the biggest hug I've ever given her.
"Thank you Ms. Layla! This really means a lot to me!" I let her go and she flips over the pancake.
"Don't mention it," she pauses for a second, but I can tell there's something else on her mind. "So, have you and Roman… you know." I know? What do I know? I look at her with a confused expression. "Oh, come on, Bayley. Have you two had sex yet?" I can feel myself getting red. Oh. My. Gosh! This subject is way too embarrassing to talk about. "Bayley, you don't have to be embarrassed. It's natural for mates to have sex." I cover my face with my hands and turn away from her. Is this really happening?! I am actually having this conversation. "Bayley, why are you so embarrassed? It couldn't have been bad." Bad?
"What do you mean bad," I ask her, turning back around to face her.
"The sex, love. The sex surely isn't bad." I should have known she was still talking about that! I look down at my feet.
"I wouldn't know," I practically whisper.
"What? Bayley, you mean to tell me you haven't had sex yet?"
"We've only been mates since last night!"
"You spent the whole night together, and he didn't take you?" I shake my head. "Bayley, you're not a virgin are you?" I blush wildly and Ms. Layla picks up on my sheer embarrassment. "Oh my God, you are! Have you been waiting to give it to Roman?" I'm completely silent. I've always had a crush on Roman, but I hadn't really thought about sex. Paige knew more about that than I did. I was the first one she told when she lost her virginity back when we were seventeen. That's when I first learned about it. She told me that it hurt, but after the pain went away it felt really good. Of course, her relationship with the person she lost it to, didn't last. Paige was devastated and told me that she regretted giving up her virginity to him, but she refused to tell me who he was. After that I promised myself that I would only give my virginity to my mate, and I was determined that my mate be Roman.
"Roman's the only one I've ever wanted," I answer honestly.
"Oh, that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard," Ms. Layla finishes cooking the final pancake and puts the food on a plate for Jojo. "Well don't be nervous when it happens. Roman will take good care of you, and if you need any advice, let me know. I know what he likes." She winks at me and calls Jojo to the kitchen before putting the plate of food on a placemat at the breakfast bar. I know I should probably be upset at Ms. Layla's comment, but I'm not because I know she's not being malicious. She's just trying to be helpful, and I appreciate it more anything.
"Thank you, Ms. Layla."
"Anytime, love," Ms. Layla replies as Jojo comes running into the kitchen with a notebook in her hand. I pick up Jojo and put her on the chair in front of her food.
"Thank you, Ms. Layla! Thank you Bayley," Jojo thanks us before picking up a strawberry and popping it in her mouth.
"You're welcome, love," Ms. Layla says to Jojo before she turns to me. "I'm going to sleep, Bayley. I'll see you later okay?" I hug her one more time before she goes to her room. I turn to look at Jojo to find her still eating the berries on her plate.
"Bayley, syrup please?" Oh I totally forgot about the syrup! I quickly take it out and pour some on her pancakes. Then I cut up her pancakes and sausage for her and take a sit next to her.
"Is it good," I ask her. She nods enthusiastically while stuffing her mouth with a fork full of pancakes. I look at her notebook, curiously. "I can see your pictures, Jojo?" She nods again and takes another bite of her food. I open the notebook and the first picture she drew confuses me a little. It's her in at the Den, but next to her are two kids I don't recognize and a man and a woman standing over them.
"Jojo, sweetie," I interrupt her meal as politely as I can. She looks up at me while taking a bite of her pancakes. "Who are these people in the picture?"
"My bubbas and Mommy and Daddy." Bubbas? I guess that means her brothers.
"Are all of you in the Den?" She nods her head as she picks up a berry and pops it in her mouth. If it were anyone else, I would have taken this picture as a sign of grieving, but I don't get that feeling from this drawing. "Do you see them, Jojo? Your family?" She nods again.
"Every day! They talk me. They like you and Romy. They say thank you Bayley and Romy!" I smile at hearing this. I know Jojo is a sorceress and that she exists in both the Land of the Living and the Other Side, but I didn't know if she saw her family at all. I guess that explains why she doesn't really talk about her family, or why she doesn't miss them. She still sees them and interacts with them. To her, they aren't dead, and they never left her side.
I continue looking through her pictures and come across one that makes me want to cry with joy. It's a picture of the entire pack with the mansion in the background, and at the forefront of the picture is Jojo holding my hand and Roman is holding her other hand. It warms my heart to know that we have provided Jojo with a second family that she feels truly a part of. I need to show Roman this. "Jojo, can I show this picture to Roman?"
"With Ms. Eve." What?
"What do you mean?"
"Romy with Ms. Eve." My heart starts beating at a mile per minute. What does Ms. Eve want?
"Do you know why?"
"Roman look Bayley. Ms. Eve come. Say need talk Romy. They leave." I need to teach her to speak in complete sentences.
"So Roman was looking for me, but Ms. Eve said that she needed to speak with Roman and they left?" She nods her head and takes another bite. I'm beyond worried. What if Ms. Eve tries something?
"Romy love Bayley?" I'm a little surprised at Jojo's question.
"Yes, he does," I answer confidently.
"Bayley no worry then." Jojo takes another bite. The wisdom of a child, it's really something.
Roman
It's weird that Eve wants to talk to me. She's been nothing but mad at me since she came back to the Den, but now that she knows that Bayley and I are mates it seems like she has something to say to me. On the one hand I'm nervous about what she has to say and the fact that she's leading me deep into the woods isn't helping my nerves at all. On the other hand, I'd rather be the one here than Bayley if Eve decides to take out her aggression violently. When Eve finally decides to stop, we're in a part of the woods that I don't recognize at all.
"Do you remember this place," she asks me while keeping her back toward me.
"Should I remember this place?"
"This is where we made love for the first time." I look around and try to remember. It was a while ago. I started having sex with Eve a month after my nineteenth birthday. We were on guard duty together. I remember that she told me that she had a crush on me and then I took her that night up against a tree. I guess this is the place where that happened. Of course, I wouldn't say that we made love. It was only sex for me. It's a horrible thing to admit, I know, but I've been honest with her since the blow up and I've apologized to her for it as well. I guess it still hasn't sunk in for her yet.
"What's the point of bringing me here?" She turns around to look at me, and I see tears falling down her face. Ah dammit! I hate seeing women cry!
"How could you choose her over me?!" I'm surprised by her outburst. Where is this coming from?
"What are you talking about? We ended a long time ago, Eve."
"Are you going to deny what we meant to each other? We had something Roman!"
"We've been through this! It was just sex for me, Eve. I'm sorry that I put you through all that. I really am. I hate myself for using you the way I did, but it's over now. There's nothing between us."
"I don't believe that for a minute! All those moments we had, you're honestly going to tell me that they meant nothing?!" Why is she doing this? Why is she putting herself through this again? It didn't hurt her enough when I told her all this the first time?
"I have no doubt that they meant something for you, and again, I hate myself for doing this, but they didn't mean anything to me."
"That's not true! I know you loved me!"
"Eve, stop doing this to yourself! You know I'm telling you the truth, but you refuse to accept it! You've had eight years to let this go and move on, but you insist on living in the past. Why are you doing this?"
"Because I love you, you idiot!" I can't believe this! I turn away from her to take a deep breath to calm down before I address her.
"What do you want me to tell you, Eve?" She looks at me surprised and remains silent. "What are you hoping this will accomplish? Bayley is my mate. I only have eyes for her."
"You only marked her because you felt bad that you couldn't prevent her from being killed."
"How fucking dare you." I walk up to her, getting in her face. "Let's get one thing straight, I love Bayley. That is the reason I marked her and for you to suggest otherwise is pathetic."
"Then how come it took you so long to realize it?! How come she had to die for you to even think about marking her?!" I don't know how to answer that question. If I had to be honest, I guess it's because I'm stupid and didn't recognize what I felt for her as love.
"Because I'm stupid okay?! She shouldn't have had to die for me to realize how much she meant to me, but that's how it happened, and there's nothing else I can do about it!"
"What about me?! What am I supposed to do now? I'm supposed to just stand back and watch while love of my life is mates with some puppy I used to babysit?"
"I'm not the love of your life, Eve. Just be patient. You'll find your mate, and he'll be everything you wanted him to be and more."
"I don't want anyone else! I want you! I love only you!" I wish she would stop doing this. She's only hurting herself. I know that, ultimately, this is my fault. I shouldn't have used her. I shouldn't have misled her, but I did, and now I have to deal with the consequences.
"I'm sorry."
"That's all you have to say to me? That you're fucking sorry?! That's not what I want to hear!"
"I know that's not what you want to hear, but I'm not going to stand here and lie to you!"
"I don't care if it's a lie!" She's officially lost her mind. "Just say it! Just tell me you love me!" She pauses and wraps herself around my waist and leans her head on my chest, crying into my shirt. "Tell me that we had a chance before Bayley died. Please? Please just tell me that. I need to hear it." Why would she want me to lie to her? Why would she want me to give her false hope? It's not right. She doesn't deserve a lie. She deserves to be told the truth. I refuse to be the one who continues to fill her head and heart with all these false promises. I won't do that to her anymore. I put my hands on her shoulders and push her away from me gently. Her hands fall to her sides and she looks up at me with her eyes full of tears.
"I'm not going to lie to you Eve. There is no us, and neither before nor after Bayley's death did we have a chance." Her head drops and I can hear her begin to heave as I bring my arms back at my sides. "Eve, just move on and allow yourself to be happy. You deserve at least that much." I turn around and walk away from her. I don't want to leave her like this, but I can't have her mistaking kindness and concern for something more. I'm such a fucking asshole. I should have never messed with her feelings all those years ago. I know I was going through something myself, but that's no excuse for doing what I did. I don't know what else I can do for her though. I'm in love with Bayley, I marked her. I'm hers and she's mine. I really hope that Eve just takes my words to heart and stops lying to herself. I hope she can move past me and allow herself to find someone else and be happy. She deserves to be happy. I hope she realizes that sooner rather than later.
Eve
When Roman disappears from my sight I completely break down. I fall to my knees and cry hysterically. I can't stop the tears from flowing even if I knew how. How could he do this to me? How can he reject me like this? How can he deny everything we felt for each other? How can he chose her over me and throw away everything we ever had? Fucking Bayley! She's always been the apple of his eye! He's always taken care of her! He even fought his own brother for her, but I always thought I meant more to him. I thought he looked at her more as a pup than a woman. I forgave him for cheating on me with Layla, but this? I can't forgive him for this. I could if he hadn't marked her. If he hadn't marked her I'd still have a chance. If he would have just given it time he would have realized how much he loved me and came back. I was so sure of it, but now that they're marked, he'll never look at me the way he used to. What am I supposed to do now? I can't wait for him, but I can't move on either. I'm stuck! I'm fucking stuck and it's all Bayley's fault!
"Poor, little wolf," I hear a voice coming from below me. I open my eyes but all I see is a small pool of my own tears. I get up and look around to see if anyone's here, but I don't find anyone. "Turn around, I'm here now." I look back, and, standing in the spot where I was crying is a woman with blonde hair who is wearing a contemporary style white Greek robe with a pink accent around the waist. "You've been through a lot today. I feel bad for you."
"Who are you?"
"Oh, forgive me. I am usually a lot more mannerly than that. My name is Natalya, I am the Queen of the Sirens." Oh my God, she's the one who made Kaitlyn kill Jojo's family and sent those sirens to murder Bayley. Why is she here?! What does she want with me?! Oh no, she's going to kill me! "Relax, Eve. I'm not here to kill you." Can she read my thoughts? "Don't look so surprised that I know what you're thinking. You're facial expressions are very easy to read."
"If you're not here to kill me, then what do you want?"
"I have a proposition for you, my dear." Proposition? "I want you to hand over the child and Kaitlyn." Has she lost her mind?
"And why would I do that? So you can destroy my race? I don't think so."
"Don't make your decision before you know what I can offer you."
"I don't care what you can offer me! Nothing can be worth that!"
"Are you sure? From that very nasty conversation I heard earlier, there is one tall, dark and handsome thing that can be worth it." I know she's talking about Roman, but what she could she possibly do? "I can break the bond, Eve."
"W-what?" I'm in disbelief. There's no way… is there?
"The mating bond is natural, and, being a mistress of black magic, I can undo that which is natural. I can break their bond, Eve." Oh my God. Can she really? I could have another shot, another chance to win him back, but wait. What good would that do?
"Even if I did believe you, the end result would still be the same. All of us would die."
"Then it's a good thing that's not the entirety of my offer."
"What else is there?"
"I'll spare you and Roman. I'd turn the both of you in humans before I eradicate your race. You and Roman could live in human society together where no one and nothing could touch you, not even the curse." All she's saying, it's all I've ever wanted: just me and Roman, together, with a family of our own. Can she really give me this? Is it really possible? It's almost too good to be true! But wait… no I can't! I'd be betraying my pack, my entire race! No I can't do this!
"No! I'm not betraying my kind! I won't do it no matter what you offer me." Natalya walks toward me with a devilish smile on her face and stops about a foot in front of me.
"You don't have to give me your answer now. I'll give you some time, but I'll be in contact in the near future. Until then, know that my offer still stands: the child and Kaitlyn for the life you've always wanted." Before I can reply, her body turns into water and it falls to the ground in a huge splash. I can't possibly consider her offer. I won't be the one to betray my race and cause its extinction, no matter how much I love and want Roman.
