What two chapters within hours of each other? What is even happening out here? I couldn't help it, blame the bunnies of spring forward I needed this scene out of my head like right now.
I hope I strike the right cord between tension and release. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading as we move towards the end. ~SL
Chapter 10
Addison and Zed walked behind Willa as she speed walked to Wyatt's room. She opened the door and let them in, spinning around quickly with a wave to leave.
"Your grandmother is staying here tonight as my guest. She wants to go see your cheer championship tomorrow but would like to hire us to protect your dad from her."
"Shouldn't it be the other way around?" Addison asked.
"I asked, but seeing as she never got tell her husband goodbye and missed her granddaughter grow up, I'm going to assume you knew which way she meant it. I said yes, so be sure we don't distract you. And make sure these two knuckleheads put you to sleep." Willa laughed as red crawled up Addison face, taking her leave, a peace sign thrown behind her.
"Addison, we are sleeping so you can win tomorrow. That's our goal. That's all. So don't other think sharing your night between us." Zed shivered. The thought of laying down with Addison was nothing new, but this felt suddenly more intimate than anything they'd ever done before.
"You trying to convince you or me?" Addison smiled into his chest, breathing deep before turning to march into Wyatt's room. "Wyatt you don't have to clean." She announced.
Wyatt quickly sat down on his bed. The last pile of vests and pants being shoved under a freshly made bed. His room was mostly spotless, a large bed sat in the center, covered in pillows and fur. A small mantle was his headboard, filled with crystals, small candles and a few pictures. It looked simple, rugged, balanced, charming in the unique way that was Wyatt. And it made Addison smile.
"I didn't clean, it always looks like this." Wyatt smoothed his hand across the white fur bed spread.
"Mine too dude. Yep, spotless." Zed let Wyatt knew how much he appreciated his hard work with a simple look. It took zero words for them both to agree to never tell Addison what their rooms truly looked like. Addison watched their silent exchanged and laughed.
"You guys, the only reason my room is clean is because my mom has a cleaner come daily. I'm not even allowed to have a piece out of place for one day. It's really a welcome change." Addison yawned, the day starting to get to her, her adrenaline crashing. She felt herself lean against Zed as he walked her over.
"How do you want to do this?" Zed asked.
"Well, I have a big bed. We can both sleep on either side, have Addison in the middle tonight." Wyatt shrugged as if it was no big deal. Zed nodded as a bubbly giggle erupted from Addison.
"I'm the cheerleader in a monster sandwich!" Wyatt smiled, taking off his boots, and quickly pulling down the covers. Zed was holding Addison, kicking off his own boots, directing her to sit down on the bed as her giggles turned to sobs. "I'm an alien." Addison started to wail, grabbing both of them and pulling them toward her.
Wyatt and Zed stayed as her sobs turned into hiccups before slowing down into smaller controlled cries. Wyatt pulled away to take off her shoes as Zed stroked her hair.
"Addison, I can't even begin to imagine how you need to process everything that happened today- you were stolen."
"Rescued yourself." Wyatt growled out, gently pulling her shoe off in contention with his voice.
"Oh yeah, we are going to talk about that tomorrow." Zed promised.
"Found our you are part alien." Wyatt added.
"Met your grandmother." Zed exhaled.
"Who isn't dead. And a grandfather who didn't die of zombie attack." Wyatt bit out, climbing back up the bed, sitting beside Addison, grabbing her hand, running his thumb across her knuckles.
"And your dad kind of caused the whole thing." Zed let the last sentence fall as soft as he could. "It's okay to be overwhelmed. If you need to hold off all of this until you have the trophy in your hand, I promise not to say a word." Zed held up his hand, Wyatt mirrored him.
"And have my boyfriend and my boy friend both try to kill each other while trying to become boyfriends to me." Addisons voice sounded tired. Letting the sentence hang.
"When you say it after all that, I feel like a two inch tall wolf." Wyatt finally said.
"Agreed. Bad zombie move." Zed nodded.
"I really want this to work. Because Wyatt's right, I've always been attracted to him." Addison turned to him, her eyelids half open from exhaustion. "He's so handsome, and warm. I love feeling his claws when he touches me and after he admitted he had feelings for me, I've thought about what it would feel like to be kissed by him, all over." Addison sighed, waiting for either of them to clench her or threaten the other. When nothing came, she continued, putting her full attention to Zed. "And my Zed. My someday, my always, my Zombie. You have been my first in so many things, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Your cold hands, your silent heartbeat, the small pulse from your Zband. I've wanted nothing more than to give you all my firsts, in every way." Addison tried to open her eyes, but instead she gave a shy smile, turning back and falling into the bed on her stomach. Feeling safe, secure, she was out before the boys knew what happened.
"She wants me to kiss her." Wyatt whispered.
"All her firsts." Zed trembled. "And I don't want to kill you." Zed smiled at Wyatt.
"I don't want to kill you." Wyatt echoed in agreement. Having both Zed and Addison in his bed, his wolf was pacing.
"You look like you want to do something else." Zed looked at Wyatt, his own body catching onto Wyatt's vibrations.
Wyatt crossed over a sleeping Addison on his knees, and stole a kiss from Zed. It was softer than he wanted, but there was too much. Too might fighting, too much talking, too much feelings- his wolf had enough. Wyatt pulled his arm around Zed, pulling his hair slightly.
Zed froze in shock, but didn't stop it. He felt Wyatt try to command the kiss, felt the change as his wolf took command, and pulled his hair. Zed let himself feel Wyatt's soft lips, his perfect Cupid's bow. He pulled Wyatt to him on his knees, his arm crossing Wyatt's hip, taking over the kiss. Zed wanted to let Wyatt know he saw him, he appreciated him, for respecting Addison, for respecting their relationship, for protecting her, for fighting him and not backing down. Zed tilted his head, changing the angle just enough to where Zed had pull control, pulling Wyatt's knees across his lap, straddling him. Zed pulled away and both him and Wyatt were panting. Zed smiled, enjoying the small amount of swelling his caused, his thumb coming up to rest on the corner of the wolf's mouth, enjoying the tip of fangs.
"Wow." Wyatt shuddered thru his body. Zed chuckled deep in his chest.
"Yeah." Zed agreed. They both turned to look at Addison. "I'm not leaving her for you." He reiterated.
"I would never, ever, allow that." Wyatt leveled, removing himself from Zeds lap, "Never." He repeated. Zed held him from moving, his hands on both his thighs, sneaking back in for a quick chaste kiss.
"Good. Because maybe it's the lack of sleep, losing Addison, finding Addison, meeting her alien grandma-"
"Sleeping together quite literally for the first time." Wyatt smiled.
"I, really, really like this." Zed admitted, resting his forehead against Wyatt. "And I want more of this."
"With Addison?" Wyatt asked.
"With you. With Addison. I might have needed time but, I'm in complete agreement. You're mine now too Wyatt." Zed let him go as Wyatt shrugged off his lap to go across Addison and back on his side. He peeled off his shirt, a bronze sculpted chest covered in markings rippled into view.
"I've always been yours." Wyatt admitted, moving a small strand of white hair off Addisons face. "And hers."
"I know the feeling." Zed quickly took off his shirt and leaned back, looking up at the night sky. "Let's get some rest so we can support our girl tomorrow."
"I'm going to spank her for not letting us save her." Wyatt admitted, pulling the heavy furs up over his, Zeds, and Addisons body. Letting his eyes linger on Addisons plump bottom.
"We. We are going to spank her." Zed agreed, his fist coming up across Addison. Wyatt smiled a full grin, his fist bumping Zed.
"Now, the hardest sleep of my life." Wyatt admitted.
"In more ways than I ever knew possible." Zed agreed. Addison shimmied her hips into both of them, making them groan.
"More spankings." They both said at the same time. They didn't see Addison grin under the covers. She may not have got to see their kiss but to know this could work, without envy or jealousy, made her hope they could be the strength she needed. She listened for their resting sounds, Zeds slow heartbeat to completely stop. She didn't know Wyatt's yet, but she was excited to learn. She felt Wyatt's fangs brush against her ear lobe.
"I can smell you're still awake." Wyatt pushed his lower body into her hip, making Addison moan slightly. Zeds arm snakes around her thigh, pulling it up across his chest.
"I can hear your heartbeat Addisons it's kind of my thing." Zed started drawing lazy circles on her inner thigh, getting as close as he could to her panties.
Addison shivered, knowing her ruse was up.
"I'm sorry, it was so hot hearing you kiss." She spoke into the pillow, afraid to voice her likes.
Wyatt felt what Zed was doing, and pulled her other thigh up across his body, his claws doing designs opposite of Zed.
"I can smell that too." Wyatt nipped her ear lobe, pulling her leg a little wider for a second. "But you're going to sleep because you worked too hard to let anything mess this up." Wyatt patted her thigh, putting it back down off his body.
"Including letting two monster seduce you into complete debauchery." Zed returned her leg the same as Wyatt, letting a small kiss fall on her cheek.
"Seduce me when I win?" Addison once again asked into the pillow, afraid to voice what she wanted.
"We'll see." Wyatt teased, pulling his arms behind his head. Zed chuckled at Addisons groan of frustration and promised himself they were in no rush. They had all the time in the world. Wyatt was thinking the same thing, letting his body fall asleep. Addison, the one who needed sleep, was still awake, her body frustrated.
Just one win, then I win everything. Just one more win. Addison repeated to herself as everything faded to black.
