Zed's POV

Eliza, Bonzo, and I were sitting around her room, laughing and catching up. "I can't believe you still have this beanbag chair!" I comment in complete amazement as I sank into it.

"Shut up! I'm gonna keep that thing till it breaks a leak!" She defended, throwing a handful of her popcorn at my face. "So your fat butt better not pop it!"

Bonzo chuckled under his breath, "Zat garzutt."

"I don't have a fat butt!" I protest, tossing my own popcorn back at them. We all laugh harder.

Suddenly, my Z-band buzzes. I check and Addison sent me a text, a subconscious smile lifts my cheeks at the sight of her name. I quickly tap to open the message.

Addy : Awww! When did

you take this picture? It's

so sweet!

Before I fell asleep. : Z

You have to print

a copy out for me!

Addy : Of course!

Anyways, Bucky and I are

going shopping! He's buying

the baby some stuff!

That's great baby! : Z

You feeling ok?

Addy : Yeah! We just

had lunch.

Awesome, just : Z

don't over do it ok?

Addy : I won't! Promise!

Are you having fun?

Other than Eliza's : Z

teasing? I'm having a

blast. lol

Addy : Lol she just

missed you My Love.

Not as much as : Z

I'm missing you

Addy : Aww Zed!

"I thought you weren't supposed to be bothering Addison today." Eliza scolded, drawing my attention away from my Z-band.

"She texted me thank you very much." I pouted, earning an eye roll.

"We'll tell her ya gotta go 'cause I'm about to put in a movie. 'Night of the Living Dead.'" She said spookily then rolled her eyes again. "Seriously. Some of this crazy propaganda they used to produce to increase fear of zombies is hysterical to watch now."

I chuckle and shake my head, returning to my Z-band chat with Addison.

Eliza's making me : Z

get off my Z-band...

Addy : Don't worry. I'll

take really good care of

you when we're home

I gulp back the whimper that's threatens to constrict my throat.

Mmm don't tease me : Z

like that baby. You know

I'll come get you right now.

A tingle runs down my spine and I wonder if it's from her rubbing her shoulder. I run a hand over my own mark and a new tingle builds in my lower stomach, arousal flooding my senses.

Addy : Maybeee I wouldn't

mind you coming and getting me.

On my way lol : Z

Addy : Lol I'll see you when

you get home. I love you

I love you too Addy : Z

I drop my wrist with a flop as a sigh escapes before I can stop it. Bonzo was the one to notice, lucky for me, and swiftly moved his seat to sit right beside me.

"Ru grodge?" (You good?) He asked with concern written all over his face. I let out a breathy chuckle, nodding.

"Yeah Buddy. I'm good." I assure him with a smile.

Then I turn to see Eliza looking at us curiously, but I can tell she's choosing not to push me. I know she can tell I'm holding back. She can always read me like a book. She's been able to since we were kids.

"I asked Addison to marry me this morning." I blurt. Both of them freeze for a second in shock as I continue. "I want you both to stand beside me."

"Zedka!" Bonzo cried, grabbing me for a big hug. I laugh and pat his back. I look over to my other best friend to see her reaction, catching the sweep of her fingers under her eyes before she thinks I can see.

"Wow Zed." She finally laughed, successfully getting Bonzo to release me. "Can't believe it took you this long to ask her!" She joked, misty eyed and laughing. I stood up and wrapped her in a hug. Bonzo couldn't help himself as he quickly joined us for a group bear hug.

I really have the greatest friends I could ever ask for.

Addison's POV

My heart was still fluttering from my messages with Zed. Of course I'm having a great time with Bucky, he was so funny and I've missed our Cous Time. But every time we stopped talking for a moment to look around, my thoughts drifted back to my zombie.

My hand subconsciously goes to my shoulder, fingers slipping under the fabric of my shirt and brushing the faint indents from his teeth. My whole body warms, eyes fluttering closed and head rolling back.

Zed's POV

The movie was about half over, and we were having a blast making fun of every detail. Eliza was currently ranting about how they completely misconceptualized even the origins of zombies when a shiver suddenly shoots down my spine. Tingles trickling down my body before settling at my groin. I throw a hand over my mouth when a moan tries escaping.

I immediately jump up out of the beanbag chair, clumsily, getting odd looks from my friends. My face is flushed and I'm thankful the room was dark so they

couldn't see.

"I, uh, need to use the bathroom." I say awkwardly.

"Well you know where it is! Geez! You're so weird sometimes!" Eliza groans in annoyance. I don't stick around to counter her insult as I hurry out of her room, pulling up Addy's contact on my Z-band as I basically run to the restroom.

Bathroom. Hurry. : Z

A wave of excitement joins my tingling a couple seconds later.

Addy : One minute.

Wait for me.

Addison's POV

A blush covered my cheeks as I glanced around, only Bucky within earshot. I try to seem casual as I approached my cousin.

"I gotta take a quick potty break!" My voice comes out a little squeaky so I clear my throat. "I'll be right back!" I assured too cheerfully, not waiting for his sure rebuttal from my sudden suspicious behavior.

I check to see if anyone's in the bathroom and it's luckily empty. A single person restroom that not pleasant for a public restroom, very Seabrook and perfect. I spot a nice little lounge chair for a changing station and know that where I'm gonna end up but I don't dwell too much on the decor as I dig out my phone frantically. I've already got a missed text.

Zeddy-Bear : Mmm please hurry

Baby! I'm is so hard for you.

I'm in the restroom Baby. : A

My knees sudden go weak as pleasure starts to resonate in my lower region. I'm able to catch myself on the sink before my legs completely give out underneath me. My shaky hand brings my phone up to dial Zed. It's rings one and a half times before his breathy voice answers.

"Hey Baby." He breaths.

"Zed," I pant, "I can, I can already feel you, touching yourself." I hear his soft chuckle but he doesn't stop.

"I couldn't wait anymore. I'm sorry My Love." My knees are so close to buckling as my eyes roll back in my head. My heart is calling out to him.

"I-I, I need to sit down." I barely manage, stumbling over to the lounge chair. I plop down with a huff from the force.

"You ok Addy?" He asked in concern, the pleasant feelings stalling. I giggle through my content sigh.

"Yeah, I'm good." I assure him softly. "Keep touching yourself."

Zed's POV

I have the volume turned down on her call but my enhanced hearing makes her voice clear as day. I let my forehead drop onto my forearm, ear right beside the Z-band speaker, leaned against the wall as a moan slips past my lips. I can feel her love warming my chest, her soft panting as my hand continues to stroke my shaft.

Suddenly, new tingles of pleasure spark to every nerve ending in my groin. I take in a sharp breath, she's touching herself. I can picture her; hand slid into this skin tight leggings, fingertips brushing her sensitive bud. My strokes get quicker.

"Addy Baby. You're so sexy. I can picture you." I moan quietly again. Her own moan follows and a pleasant twist constricts my lower belly. "Holy fuck." I whimper.

"Oh Zed Baby." She whispers breathlessly. "How are you, making me feel so good? I'm so close."

"I can feel you too Baby." I tell her softly. "I'm right with you." Her little whimper and the gentle tensing of my abs has me reeling. Her panting matches mine, she's rubbing herself faster with my pace.

"Zed. Zed. Zed." She calls my name as though it'll give her some divine salvation, sparks flashing behind my eyes and legs nearly giving out beneath me.

"Addy, fuck. My Love. My Life. Gar garziga. Gar garziga." I proclaim as quietly as possible, my whole body tensing and teeth gritted as I cum, seed dripping into the toilet as I finish. I can hear her soft panting through the speaker still beside my ear.

"Gar garziga Zed." She whispers as we come down from the high. I wish I had my arms around her right now.

"I love you so much." I tell her softly, my heart so full of love for her. My love, my mate, my world.

"I love you too." She assures me again with a giggle, a shiver ran down my spine. "I better get back to Bucky before he throws a fit. We'll talk about how insanely intense and incredible that was when we get home." She teases, making me chuckle.

"Yeah, definitely. Be safe Addy."

"I will. See you at home Babe." She says. I give her a quick goodbye before cleaning up a little and heading back to my friends.

They both look up when I walk back in, though Bonzo's eyes swiftly redirect back to the TV so he doesn't make eye contact.

'Oh Z.' I mentally slap myself.

"You really couldn't wait to jack off till you got home? You're such a perv." Eliza scolded.

I don't deny it. I know they probably heard at least some of that. I just drop my chin to my chest, cheeks alight with the most blush a zombie could possibly have. Muttering a quiet sorry as I return to my seat.

The rest of my time at Eliza's was spent explaining myself while she scolded me. I won't be doing anymore funny business while I'm under her room. That's for sure.

Addison's POV

Bucky had made his way to the checkout while I was gone. I came up beside him trying not to look nervous. He doesn't even turn to look at me when I greet him.

"He couldn't even wait till you finished Cous Time, huh?" He tsked, shaking his head in disappointment. "He's making it really hard to like his sorry ass." My mouth drops open.

"Bucky, it was technically my fault." I correct. He looks at me with narrowed eyes.

"Am I boring you?" He accuses. I instantly shake my head.

"No! Absolutely not!" I deny. I sigh heavily. "It's weird Bucky. This new connection we have makes it hard to be apart for more than a few hours. I'm sorry if I offended you." I apologize, sad puppy eyes directed his way. He groans and throws a side hug around my shoulders.

"I'm gonna be in trouble when this kid is born. I can't even stay mad at you!" He jokes. I hug him back, grateful for how understanding he was being.

Maybe I should explain things a little better to him about Zed and I's connection. Maybe then he wouldn't be judging Zed so harshly. He is, after all, going to be around the rest of my life.
