Chapter 25

Fuck no!

Chris' Point of View

Leah and Sue showed up not long after we both climbed out the shower around 11. I knew it was only a matter of time, since Seth hadn't slept at home last night and it was his birthday. I heard Leah shout up the stairs to take our time, that Sue was about to make herself at home in my kitchen and make us dinner. I don't think Seth even heard them enter the house. He seemed out of it cuddled up to my chest under the warmth of the water flow. I'd taken my time with him, washed every inch of him until he was putting in my hands and he knew how much I loved him through my touch. We dried and dressed lazily. He didn't stray from my side for too long, following me in and out of the walk in closet as I got us something to wear. He did dress himself though, stating he wasn't completely useless and dependant on me.

I knew he had been like my shadow since he imprinted on me but ever since I phased, he's been like one with me, the same person. It was rare that he wasn't with me wherever I went. He was submissive to me, though I didn't take it too far. He looked to me to protect him, I got that but that didn't give me an excuse to be a jackass and start controlling his life. He was his own person, after all. I wasn't about to tell him who he could and couldn't be around, despite the intense jealousy that coursed through me when he was touching the other wolves.

When we got to the kitchen, Sue beamed and engulfed us both into a massive hug, wishing Seth a happy birthday. I glanced towards the kitchen area, seeing she was cooking something but she shooed me away when I tried to see what it was. I offered my help but she shook her head, saying the girls would be here soon anyway. At that I looked at her strangely, wondering what she had meant. She smiled.

"Everyone is coming over here to eat a birthday lunch with Seth and Leah. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overstep or anything. I know that this is your house and that you're a private guy but where else were we going to eat with you guys holing yourself up in here every day? You hardly come out." She scolded, tapping my shoulder with a wooden spoon. I had to admit, I felt completely and utterly chastised.

"Hey, it's fine, I guess. You're right, we lock ourselves in here. It's not fair to you or Leah."

"Hey now, I'm only teasing. You guys have not long double imprinted. It's understandable." She dismissed. I nodded.

"When you say everyone, you mean..?"

"Everyone. The pack, elders, imprints." She answered, biting her lip nervously. Suddenly, she was in tune with my thoughts.

My jaw clenched and I closed my eyes as I figured out what she was saying. Elders…Josh would be in my house again, along with his eldest son. Embry was fine; I wouldn't call him brother yet but he'd become a somewhat friend. I'd have no problem with him here but those two… This was going to be a very long day. I felt a warm hand on my upper arm and I turned my head, opening my eyes to look at Seth's concerned face.

"You okay? I can feel your anger from the living room." He stated, glancing at Sue, who was blushing and looked just about ready to apologise. I shook my head at her briefly and smiled down at Seth.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just keep an eye on me today, okay? Josh and Sam are going to be here." I informed him, unable to keep the bite from my voice when I said their names. His eyes widened slightly and he nodded, biting his lip. "I'll be fine. Just stay close"

"Always." He whispered, leaning up to kiss my cheek. His left hand was resting on my chest and that when I heard the gasp. My eyes snapped over to Sue, seeing her eyes wide and her hand over her mouth as she gazed at Seth's wrist. Her eyes then shot to my own left wrist and she gasped again, capturing Seth's attention as well. "Mom? What's wrong?"

"What's that?" she almost shouted, still looking between our wrists. Seth frowned and followed her gaze just as Leah came into the room, wondering what all the fuss was about. She peered between her mom and brother before she followed her mom's gaze as well, growling (but slightly smiling) when she saw the bracelets.

Seth blushed and glanced up at me. I smiled. "These things? Seth's birthday presents, amongst a jacket and CDs." I explained, proudly. Seth grinned. I watched as tears filled Sue's eyes and she engulfed us both into another hug.

"Oh my God, do you know what they mean?" she asked, shocked and proud. I nodded, smiling at Seth.

"Yeah, Mom, I explained them when I saw what they were. Of course, he had no clue but he seemed okay with it all." Seth replied to his mother, grinning up at me. I smiled.

"My boy is engaged." She gasped, letting the tears fall. I thought she was being marginally over-dramatic but I wasn't about to voice that opinion. I glanced at Leah, who was trying to glare at me. Her failed anger made me roll my eyes.

"Come off it, Leah. I know you're happy. Scrap the weak, pissy glare and give your brother a hug." I ordered with a teasing tone to my voice. She 'tried' to glare harder before she rolled her eyes and smiled brightly, pulling Seth from my arms into hers.

"I'm happy for you, Little Brother. The guys will tease but I'll kick their asses for you." She promised with an evil glint in her eyes. Seth and I laughed whilst Sue gave her a reproachful look. "Happy Birthday, by the way."

"Thanks, Lee." He murmured, hugging her tightly again. "Yeah, happy birthday too. Can't believe we're nineteen."

"I feel old." she sighed. Both Seth and I rolled our eyes.

"You're not old." Seth scolded her. She shrugged.

Sue went back to the kitchen to finish off her cooking whilst Leah and Seth lounged around the living room, watching Family Guy reruns. I was setting the table for Sue before I went to join them when a thought occurred to me. Seth didn't know yet. I finished the table before heading to the living room. Seth was in the recliner and I walked up behind him, stroking my fingers through his hair. He moaned slightly and leaned his head back so that he could look up at me. I smiled.

"Come with me a sec?" I asked. He nodded instantly and hopped to his feet. Leah watched us curiously as I led him to the stairs to my room. He followed without question. He sat down on the bed as I closed the door and then I joined him. "I have to tell you something."

"What? Is something wrong?" he asked, frowning in worry and concern.

"Kind of. Don't worry, I'm fine. We're fine but I thought you should know that the leech came back last night while you were sleeping. He brought a few friends with him."

"What? Why wasn't I informed last night? I could have helped!" he protested, frowning now in anger. I grabbed his hand and kissed it. He calmed slightly. "Why didn't you come get me?"
"Because you were asleep. I patrolled last night, remember? Paul and I handled it, Leah was there too. He got a little too close to home but we stopped him. He got away though, which pissed me off." I growled, scowling at the memory of him jumping away from us using the trees. "Please don't be mad. I didn't want to disturb you. You had been kinda tired yesterday and you deserved your sleep."

"I guess I can't be angry at you when you say that but promise you'll come get me next time. I'm a protector just like you are and I deserved to know that as well. " He implored. I sighed; I didn't want to put him in any danger but he was a protector too. His job was the same as mine and I wasn't about to prevent him from doing it just because I was being an overprotective fool. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I promise." I replied, stroking his cheek. He smiled.

"Okay, well come on, we should head back down there before they get any weird ideas of what we're doing up here." He laughed, grabbing my hand as he led me towards the door. I laughed and shook my head; I wouldn't have put it past Paul or Quil, if either of them had even arrived yet.

Leah glanced at us from the recliner as we came back downstairs, a small smile on her lips as she looked back at the TV. I sat on the couch with my Pup cuddled up into my side, his head on my shoulder as I wrapped my arms around him. Paul and Rach were the first of the pack to arrive, along with Alex, of course. He toddled over to me, wobbly on his feet with his arms out wide. I chuckled and Seth let me up so I could catch him and bring him up in my arms tightly.

"Hey, Buddy. Did Mommy dress you this morning?" I asked, glancing down at his green t-shirt. Sure, green wasn't bad but the massive yellow smiley face right in the middle of it was hideous. Paul would have never dressed him in anything like this, nor would he have put beige pants on him with brown sandals. Rachel caught my eye and she glared, knowing what I was thinking.

"Yes, I did. What's the problem?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow. Paul smirked at me.

"You should have learned by now that you don't insult her dress sense for Al." he told me, walking passed me to the kitchen. He paused next to me, leaning in so that only I could hear. "Though you're damn right. The shirt is hideous."

I laughed loudly, curbing it slightly into a cough as Rachel glared harder at me with her hands on her hips. I smiled at her before turning to sit back on the couch with Alex in my lap.

"Happy birthday, by the way guys." Rachel called on her way to the kitchen. Both Seth and Leah shouted out their thanks in return.

The rest of the pack soon came waltzing in, marvelling at the fact that they were actually stepping foot in my house. They've only been in it once before, that first night I came here, with an exception of one or two. Embry walked up to me and shook my hand, as was customary with us right now, before giving Seth a hug. Leah wouldn't be caught dead giving these guys a hug so he simply gave her a nod. The others shouted out greetings and happy birthdays to Seth and Leah as they flopped down anywhere they could fit to watch the TV.

Sam hung back nearer the living room doorway, looking awkward and out of place. I tried to ignore him but his eyes were trained on me. If I hadn't have known better, I might have believed the look of remorse and longing on his face as he stared at me. Now Josh, he was much easier to ignore. I just pretend he's what he has always been in my life – not there. He sat with the Elders across the room, looking at me much like Sam was. Every so often, Seth would squeeze my hand or my thigh, as if he thought their presence was bothering but apart from Sam's staring, it actually wasn't. I wasn't sure whether this was a step in the right direction or what but it was what it was.

Sue called us in for lunch not half an hour later and for once, my massive dining table was about to be used. It was actually going to be used at full capacity, seating everyone comfortably.

"What possessed you to buy this thing?" Diane asked, staring at the table in awe. I shrugged, chuckling softly.

"Don't know. It came with the house so I guess I didn't buy it. Comes in handy though, I suppose." I replied, taking a seat at one of the heads of table at both Sue and Billy's insistence.

"We could do with this table at Emily's house." Kim sighed, actually looking privileged to be taking a seat at an actual table. I could only imagine how much room my pack brothers take up. The poor girls probably have to stand and eat or sit on their wolf's lap.

Seth took the seat to my right, holding my hand on the table. His leg was also hooked around mine. It was like we had to be constantly touching. His touch calmed me, which right now, was a must.

Sam had sat Emily and himself on my left with Josh next to her. Jacob smiled at me apologetically from down the table before shooting Sam a pissed off look. He didn't see it though; he was too busy glancing at me. Rachel and Paul were sat next to Seth so at least I didn't necessarily have to look at that side of the table to get conversation during dinner.

Said dinner was delicious and thankfully, cherry free. Sue had cooked steaks with mashed potatoes, vegetables and roast potatoes. Dessert, rumour has it, was her unmatchable apple and rhubarb pie, which also happened to be one of Seth's favourites, with custard along with apple crumble, Leah's favourite. Conversation flowed free and easily, which was surprising as Sam would ask me questions every few minutes that I had reluctantly answered due to Seth's silent insistence, usually in the form of a nudge to my leg with his. He can get quite pushy on his birthday, it seems.

When Emily and Kim sat from handing out dessert, Sue was left standing down the table, her eyes turned towards Seth, Leah and I as she raised her orange juice. The others at the table looked at her curiously but we both knew what was coming. I smiled at Seth, who was blushing with embarrassment towards his mother's actions. I squeezed his hand just as she began to speak.

"As you all know, my babies turned 19 today. Again, we all wish you guys a happy birthday. But it seems that your birth isn't the only thing this dinner should be celebrating." She announced, making everyone turn to look at us in question. Leah was smiling brightly from her seat, which confused everyone even more. "Chris surprised Seth this morning with an extra special birthday present-"

"We do NOT want to know about this." Quil groaned dramatically, earning several slaps across the head from the ones around him and a glare from Sue for being interrupted. Everyone chuckled though and Seth blushed harder. I just smirked.

"Be quiet, Quil." Sue huffed, shaking her head before turning a smile back to us. "As I was saying, as tradition, Chris has presented Seth with his promise bracelet, both of which they are wearing. My baby is engaged! Congratulations, Sweetheart, Chris. You both deserve this. To Seth and Chris!"

"To Seth and Chris!"

Cheers and applaud erupted around us and I couldn't help the grin on my face. Seth laughed, burying his face into my shoulder to hide his embarrassment and blush. I kissed the top of his head. Paul stood and yanked me up as well, embracing me tightly as he whispered his own congratulations in my ear. I smiled as he pulled away and he grinned. Rachel had tears in her eyes as she embraced us both, welcoming Seth to family and already calling him Uncle Seth.

Countless hugs and congratulations were passed around before we all sat down to eat dessert. I had, somehow, avoided any congratulations from Josh or Sam, but hugged Embry like everyone else when he had stepped up to me. Gifts from everyone were given to Seth and Leah after lunch as we gathered in the living room. They seemed grateful for everything they received and thanked them all profusely, hugging them all again when they made to leave.

I wrapped my arms around my Pup just as he closed the door behind Paul, Rachel and Alex. He leaned back into me instantly, resting his head against my shoulder. He turned to face me and pressed his lips to mine with a small moan. I pulled him tighter against me, cupping and squeezing his ass. He gasped into my mouth and groaned, wrapping his arms around my neck before jumping slightly. I lifted and allowed his legs to wrap around my waist, our crotches brushing teasingly in the movement.

"Bedroom." He gasped as he pulled his lips from mine. I growled and bounded up the stairs, taking three at a time. He giggled at my rush and began to lick and nibble neck. His whole body trembled against mine as I nipped extra hard at his mating mark, a growl coursing through me at the mere sight of it. I wanted to devour him, to ravish him senseless until he didn't know his own name.

He yelped in surprise when I unceremoniously threw him onto the bed. He panted against the sheets, peering up at me through lustful, hooded eyes as hovered over him on my hands and knees. I kissed him sharply, making him moan before I shuffled back off the bed. He pouted in protest and I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped at his expression. His eyes grew with excitement and anticipation as I tore the shirt off my body. He moaned at my display of power and swallowed hard. I could see his hands twitching, as if all he wanted to do was reach out and caress every inch of me. In a little while maybe but right now, this was all about him.

He bit his lip as my jeans immediately followed the scrap of metal that was my shirt. He groaned at the sight of my engorged member, hot, hard and ready for him. I growled when he licked his lips and cocked his eyebrow suggestively. He made to sit up to come over to me but I wouldn't allow that. I pushed him back down, to which he protested. I cut them off with a searing kiss, ripping his own shirt from his body and throwing it blindly across the room.

My hands found his body instantly, feeling the hard ridges of his muscular chest as my hands trailed down to his tenting cut offs. He moaned lowly as my knuckles traced over his hard cock through the material. His hips bucked but I would let him off this time. It was his birthday sex after all.

I made quick work of his shorts and he panted in anticipation as I began to trail kisses across his skin, moving lower and lower. I couldn't resist teasing his nipples, knowing that it drove him wild. As expected, he thrust his chest into my face, seeking my friction. I bit down on his left nipple and he cried out, clamping my hair in his hands.

"Fuck, that feels so good." he panted with his head thrown back into the pillow. I hummed around his nub and he jerked, groaning. So sensitive...

Deciding that I'd had enough of his amazing chest, I began to suck and nibble my way down the middle of his chest, making sure to lick the crevasses between his ripped muscles. He whimpered when I dipped my tongue deep into his belly button, his whole body spasming as a result. I grinned against his skin, proud that I could entice that sort of reaction out of him. He never ceases to amaze me.

"You want me to go further, Pup?" I murmured huskily against his hip bone. He moaned and nodded swiftly. I smirked. "I didn't hear you."

"Yes! Yes please...oh God, please?" he begged. I growled as desire coursed through me at his tone.

"Since you asked so nicely..." I ground, swiping my tongue along the underside of his cock. He gasped and jutted into me so I threw my forearm over his hips to keep him still.

Then my mouth wrapped around his head and I engulfed him until he hit the back of my throat. I moaned around him as he screamed out to the ceiling. I had no doubt in my mind that whoever was on patrol right now had heard him but I didn't give a fuck.

I sucked and licked around his shaft, bobbing my head occasionally to lick and nibble his tip as my index finger probed his entrance. He moaned and clenched his ass before trying to move towards it. My arm prevented him and he groaned in frustration. He gasped as my finger entered him, just as tight as before. After a second, he seemed to relax slightly so I slid it in further.

He was in pure ecstasy whilst I sucked and prepared him for me. His hands clenched in my hair and he tried to guide me to where he wanted me but it wasn't happening. I growled at him in warning, cock still in my mouth and he moaned wantonly, throwing his head back in ecstasy.

I knew he was close. I could tell by the hitch in his breathing, ragged and low, as well as his hips rutting against my restraining forearm, trying to make my now three digits enter him deeper. He had been reduced to incoherent babble minutes ago and the tightening of his sac made anticipation of what I was about to receive course through me. My sucking returned with vigour and my free hand came up to massage his sac gently. He groaned, muttering something inaudible to my ears before he tensed, remaining ridged in the middle of my bed as he gave a mighty, arousing roar followed by an loud exclamation of my name. He emptied himself into my mouth and I moaned around him, unable to get enough of his unique, amazing taste.

He slumped down against the mattress breathlessly as I let his delicious cock fall from my mouth with a pop. He groaned in protest as my fingers slid out of him and I couldn't help the self-satisfied grin that crept up on my face as I moved to hover over him on the bed. His eyes were closed and he was panting like a marathon runner but the grin on his face made my heart expand. I couldn't help but kiss it. He responded instantly, moaning. His arms locked me to him as he slipped his tongue into my mouth. There was something about the fact that he was tasting himself on my tongue that made my wolf roar within me.

He yelped in surprise as I pushed him down on the bed, lowering my hips between his legs as I sat up on my calves. He stared up at me with a mixture of need and wanton desire. I smirked at him and reached over for the bottle of lube I had sitting on my bedside table. He bit his lip, watching my every move as I clicked the lid open and squirted a generous amount into my palm. His eyes smouldered as he watched me palm my cock, spreading the lube of it. I couldn't help but watch his reactions to me. He was so sexy.

I crawled up the bed slowly, bending over to hover above him as my hips met his. He shivered from the contact and pleaded me with his eyes as he spread his legs open wider, willingly. I captured my lips with his in a searing kiss, plunging my tongue deep into his mouth as I pulled his legs up over my waist. He locked his ankles behind me at the small of my back and I could feel my member nudging at his slick opening. He moaned and panted, pulling away from my kiss.

"Now, I need you. Please, Chris, I need you now." he whined, begging me to take him. I growled lowly and recaptured his lips, thrusting gently so that I penetrated that tight muscle. Even after so much preparation, he was still so tight. "Ooh fuuck..."

"Oh yeah..." I breathlessly agreed as my face buried into his neck. He tensed his thighs.

"More."

I growled and thrust into him fully, making him yelp slightly in pain. I kissed the side of his neck in love and comfort and kept still for him to adjust to me. My hands stroked his sides and ass cheeks. When he bucked his hips into me, I thought I was going to lose control but I centred myself, pulling my face back slightly so that I could watched his as I pulled out of him, almost all the way. He threw his head back with a cry as I snapped my hips forward. I could feel his fingernails clawing at my back.

"You like that Pup? You want more?" I whispered huskily into his ear. He moaned and nodded, biting his lip. I grinned wickedly and began to set a slowly building pace into him. He gasped every thrust or so as I angled my hips differently with every thrust, searching for it.

I knew when I found it because his legs became like a cobra's grip and he actually drew blood from my back as he cried out and arched into me. I grunted at the sharp pain on my back from his nails but I could already feel the skin healing and the pain just added to the pleasure. I continued to hit his special spot deep within him, leaning forwards and almost bending him in half as I pressed my lips to his, driving into him.

I caught his hand as it made to slide between us, knowing where it was heading and growled in disapproval. He whimpered in need and I smirked as soon as he opened his eyes to implore with me.

"Not until I say and not by anything but my cock." I growled at him. He gasped and nodded, unable to deny me as he threw his head back, exposing his neck to me. A deep rumbled sounded in my chest as I feasted upon his skin, my pace [picking up as the coil in my stomach tightened further and further.

"I'm so close...Chris please, Baby I'm so, so close!" he keened, thrusting his hips towards me. A sharp skin slapping snap penetrated the room, accompanying our grunts, moans and growls.

I trust deeper and harder, hitting his prostrate every single time with force that sent him reeling but still he didn't let go, heeding my words and warnings. I decided to stop torturing my Pup, knowing that he deserved his release as it was his birthday so I leaned down, licking down his chest until my mouth enclosed around one of his nipples. I cast my eyes upward so that I could watch him cum and then I bit down sharply on his nub, seeing his face contort in the most beautiful pleasure imaginable and his tight entrance constricted around me almost painfully.

"CHRIS!" he screamed, arching into me, tensely as he shot his load all over our stomachs. I moaned as I felt it hit me, warm and wet. That thought was my undoing and I roared, clamping down on his neck as I rutted into him twice and shot my load deep within him. He gasped and groaned, hanging onto me for dear life until his body slumped when I bit his tendon again.

Then something weird happened...

He lurched against my body as if trying to get me off him, like he needed to move. Frowning, I obeyed him, increasingly worried about my pup as he scrambled off the bed and ran towards the bathroom. My eyes widened as retching penetrated the stunned silence and I launched myself after him, skidding to a halt beside him as he crouch in front of the porcelain bowl. Unable to think of what to do, I just rubbed his back and watched helpless as he threw up everything he had eaten today.

"Seth, Pup, talk to me. Now. Tell me what's wrong!" I urged, my fright escalating as his vomiting continued. The rational side of me knew that he couldn't answer me because of that, but the irrational side of me, the scared side just wanted to know what was wrong with our Pup.

He groaned and laid his head against the rim of the toilet. A sweat broke across his brow and I wiped it away with a nearby towel. His eyes were closed, seeming heavy and I thought it was over. I was helping him up so that he could brush his teeth when he doubled over again, vomiting more sick into the toilet. I was half going out of my mind, half wanting to hunt down whatever had made my pup sick. Of course, that was the irrational side of me again. No one was t blame unless...

"Seth, oh God, Seth did I do this?" I gasped, feeling tears collect in my eyes. I refused to let them fall though. He shakily shook his head before he was sick again. "Shit, I'm going to call your Mom."

He groaned and turned to face me. "No, no don't. She'll overreact, just like you're doing. I'll be fine. I think I'm done. Help me up?" he croaked. I was by his side in an instant and helped him shakily to his feet by the sink. With trembling hands, he brushed his teeth, not meeting my gaze in the mirror as I watched him.

"What the hell just happened?" I growled. He glanced at me briefly as he wiped his mouth.

"I was sick." he replied. I scowled at him and he back tracked. "I mean, it was nothing. I guess I just felt funny since lunch. I'm fine, Chris, okay? I promise." he murmured, finally holding my gaze for more than a second as he approached, wrapping his arms around my waist. I sighed and pulled him close, burying my nose into his hair and inhaling. I felt some stress leave me with him being in my arms but I still wanted to know what had caused him to throw up like that. We shifters couldn't get sick-

No...

No, no, no, no...

Holy shit! Fuck no!

:O I bet you guys hate me right now but oh well. I guess you already know what is up any way ;D

Please review! I can't wait to hear was you guys think! :3
