Chapter 7
Addison made it back to her home, waving goodbye to the pack, barely noticing that her door had been repaired, the spilled frozen yogurt was cleaned and the flowers were replaced in a vase on her front door step. She picked them up, sniffing the mixture of straight tulips and wild dahlias deeply.
Opening the door she was surprised to smell dinner. Her parents were supposed to be gone thru tomorrow- she looked up to see Zed and Wyatt, both wearing aprons and cooking what must have been a 9 course meal. Zeds apron was around his neck and Wyatt's had been folded to be just a rectangle around his waist.
"Addison." Wyatt called, quickly flipping off the burners, untying his apron and sliding himself across the counter, landing gracefully in front of her. Wyatt turned back to Zed, "Remember what we talked about, breath deep thru the mouth and out thru the nose." Wyatt opened his hands in front of Addisons, silently asking for her touch.
Addison put the flowers down on the counter, freeing her hands to gently place them in Wyatt's.
"Fuck this." Zed said, ripping the seams of his apron, pulling it straight off his body. He took 4 steps and was in front of her, right next to Wyatt, pulling one hand over his heart.
"I thought we agreed I would go first?" Wyatt said out the side of his mouth as quietly as he could.
"You and me decided that, my zombie cried foul." He bent his head to kiss the top of Addisons fingertips. Not to be outdone, Wyatt brought her hand up, opening her palm before laying a gently kiss at the base of her fingers.
"Please tell me you both didn't hit each other so hard, you both lost your mind?" Addison shivered slightly.
"Are you cold?" Zed pulled off his powder blue letterman jacket and wrapped it around Addison.
"She's probably exhausted, it has been a really stressful day and tomorrow is a full coaching day." Wyatt lifted her effortlessly, walking her into the living room and placing her gently on the couch, centering her to leave enough room at her head and feet. Wyatt started to sit next to her head as Zed let out a small feral noise.
"Zed, it's my turn." Wyatt tried to sound polite but his yellow eyes trained perfectly on Zed, turning his head enough so Addison couldn't see. Zed pointed to Addisons feet but Wyatt took up the floor in front of her, turning to face her and looking in her eyes.
"Okay what's going on?" Addison asked sitting up. "This is weird."
"We've come to an arrangement." Zed offered
"And an understanding." Wyatt nodded.
"Which is?" Addison felt like pinching herself, like just wasn't this easy.
"I'm in love with you." Wyatt confessed, kneeling up.
"And I'm obviously in love with you." Zed slid next to her, his fingers interlacing with hers, his body pressed against hers.
"And Zed and I have been exploring the option of both of us loving you." Wyatt continued, walking on his knees, touching her knees with his chest.
"Together." Zed breathes against her neck, putting a series of small kisses against her racing pulse.
"When I said figure this out, I didn't think you'd actually-" Addison sighed, catching her thoughts, "actually figure it out." Addison squeezed her thighs together, Wyatt sniffed the air, pushing himself forward right into Zeds arm, which shot forward to block him. Wyatt let out a wanting growl. "So you didn't figure it out." Addison eyed the men in front of her.
Wyatt's beautiful and scruff form, his olive skin, his chocolate eyes pulsing yellow, his fangs hanging out just enough to make her crave him. Zeds beautiful grey coloring, his red rimmed eyes, his bright green hair, his long strong muscles and tall body. Addison shivered again, and both men let out a heady slow laugh.
"Our monsters are a little slower to understand we can share." Zed admitted. "But I'm open to it. Wyatt has a theory." His fingers caressing Addisons neck, gently folding into her hair.
"If we claim you together our monsters will quit seeing each other's as rivals and instead yours. No more base reactions." Wyatt let his hand massage Addisons knee, slow and strong strokes.
Addison sat there for a moment thinking. Thinking about these two men, the life she wanted for herself, the advice Willa has given her. Zed was pulling her head lightly, interrupting the thoughts she had left as Wyatt let his fingers slip up her thighs just a little past her knees. On some level, she knew they needed to work for her a lot more then they were now. But with her body reacting this hard, she wasn't too sure she could survive it if they came together fully. Addison counted her breaths, one, two, three.
"Do you want to be ours Addison?" Wyatt asked, hopeful.
"I rescinded my challenge Addison. I don't want to fight Wyatt, I just want you happy." Zed said.
Addison stood up and before she could lose her nerve, pulled Zed close and kissed him on the lips. Addison has been kissing Zed for years but something was different with Wyatt there. She could feel what watching her do to Zed did to Wyatt, which in turn made her even more desperate. She broke the kiss off suddenly, offering her hand to Wyatt to pull him up. She quickly met him lips, warm and soft in a different way than Zeds. This kiss wasn't a stolen one, it was full of intent and promises. A lifetime of them, her lips were crushed, her bottom lip nipping his sharp fangs. The small pressure causing more pressure in her body. Addison pulled back, trying to get a moment to breath and found her backside pulled up against Zed as her moved in, keeping her close to Wyatt. Zed pulled her chin up, claiming her lips in another kiss. Wyatt lifted her legs in the air, wrapping them around him. Zed released her, using her pony tail to push her to face Wyatt, who quickly claimed her lips again. Zed brought his lips to her ear.
"Do you want us Addison? Because I have to admit, watching you get this aroused with the wolf's kisses makes me curious where else the kisses would do to you." Zed whispered against her, lighting kissing the top of her ear.
"Let us claim you Addison." Wyatt begged against her lips, pushing himself harder against her.
"Stop." Addison moaned out. Wyatt immediately put her down, Zed lifted his hands away from her, taking a step back.
Addison was panting, trying to regain her composure, the two men in front of her looked worst for the wear. Good. She put her hands on her hips, classic cheer position, for discipline.
"We have to talk, and you can't just seduce me and ignore everything. We have a lot of ground rules to lay down before we, ever do- that. However that would work." Addisons voice turned breathy as she lost her thoughts again. She shook her head violently as both men smelled her immediately rise in arousal.
"Addison, I'm hurt. I would never claim you without your complete and clear approval." Wyatt looked contrite.
"And I'd never let him, we just- I just, need you." Zed admitted, his eyes darkening. "I can't stop thinking about what we could o together Addison." Zed admitted.
Addison shivered again, a feeling of hunger low and deep in her stomach was bubbling.
"No. No sex, no claiming, and no more kissing. I have a cheer championship to bring home tomorrow. I have a moonstone to retrieve, I have to make a list of rules for us. It's time for both of you to go home." Addison pointed to the door.
"Aw Addison come on, we made dinner." Wyatt moved into the kitchen.
"7 courses Addi! Complete for everything a human, werewolf, and a zombie needs!" Zed sounded so excited it was hard for Addison to stand firm.
"If I said yes and we kept going, dinner would have been trashed untouched and you know it. I need my rest, we can talk about all of this tomorrow after I have a trophy." Addison was able to hold onto that idea.
"Addison, no offense but I don't think talking is how our triad is going to accomplish things." Wyatt winked at her, slinging his hip out. Zeds zombie growled an agreement, nodding.
"Home. Now." Addison was serious. "Respect my hard work. Out." Addison kept her finger at the door. Wyatt looked at Zed, a quiet moment Addison didn't understand passing between them before they both started to head for the door.
"We talk after we're champions." Addison repeated, more for herself than them. "And we have a lot to talk about." Addison walked them both to the door, opening it as the stepped outside. She leaned against the open frame. "Thank you for dinner, and for fixing my door. And respecting me when I said stop." Addison looked down, embarrassed. "I rescind my mating challenge and I agree to be yours if you both take me out on a date. Willa said you're both capable of two times the romantic gestures now, and I want to enjoy this. Good night boys." Addison started closing the door on then slowly moving, waiting for any sign of protest or fight.
When she heard both footsteps fade away she slide down her down, immediately regretting her choice. She walked into the kitchen to see marinated caulibrains, chicken, steak, and a plethora of colorful vegetables roasted with Parmesan cheese. She took nibbles of the chicken and ate a large bowl of vegetables before putting it all away.
"They'll be back tomorrow." Addison reassured herself. "But now sleep, and tomorrow, cheer." Addison walked up to her room, her bed was made, her window screen replaced. Her binder of squad information was sitting just right in her desk. Addison walked over to her bed and fell on top. She didn't even roll to cover herself before she was asleep.
