Havermouth, Present TimeHeath’s skin wore a gloss of sweat and come and his biceps bulged as he wrapped his fingers around the hand cuffs that suspended his arms above his head from a fixing point that crossed the bed. He blew out a breath, trying to regain control over himself.“Comfortable?” Rhett purred reaching around Heath’s waist and dragging his nails across Heath’s stomach so that he sucked in response, tensing his stomach muscles. Rhett’s nails carved a path through the come that had turned as gluggy as glue on Heath’s skin.“I don’t think I have another orgasm in me,” Heath confessed, his voice hoarse, shaking his head. “F-k, Rhett.”“I think he has more in him,” Talen replied evilly. He stretched in a decadence of muscle, the chains that still bound him to the bed clanking against the fixing points. He was in a worse state than Heath, liberally coated in come to the point that it clumped his hair together. Heath had an excellent vantage point by which to judge seeing that
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeCameron scratched an itch on his stomach, feeling dried come flake away. “If we were on one of those TV shows where they blacklight hotel rooms, we’d all glow in the dark.”Rhett laughed. “That would be awesome. Ugh, I need a smoke,” he pushed himself off the sleeping bags. For a moment, the material stuck to his skin, before he peeled it off. “Gross,” he grinned despite the word, delighting in the grossness. “I’m covered in come.”“We all are,” Heath stretched like a cat. “F-k, I’ve worn f-king carpet rash into my knees,” he added as he sat up and inspected them. “I think that we’ve broken our record for f-king. If we didn’t fill her up with come, we’ve come damned close.”Aislen was passed out on her stomach, her hair covering her face. There were hickeys on her neck, bruises on her hips, and a drying crust of come between her thighs. Her face was pale and there were tide marks from tears on her cheeks that reminded Cameron of his mother.Heath leaned o
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeCameron surfaced from a deep sleep when Rhett slid into the bed next to him. Cameron was the little spoon in a snuggle between him and Heath and wrapped himself around Rhett breathing in the scent of smoke and old sex that still clung to his other mate’s skin. “You stink,” he muttered as Rhett stroked down his body and closed his hands around Cameron’s c-ck. “And your hands are cold.”“Shut up and kiss me,” Rhett replied.Cameron opened one eye in order to aim his mouth and kissed past the flavor of coffee and cigarettes to that of Rhett, moaning as Rhett stroked his c-ck to hardness. Rhett was unmerciful in his objective, using every trick in his extensive arsenal so that the sleep-dazed Cameron sagged into his seduction, helpless beneath the demands of his body and mate – and Rhett knew it, the dark-haired alpha’s smile wicked and his eyes glowing with his wolf.“Do you want my mouth,” Rhett bit Cameron’s bottom lip, a little love-nip before releasing i
Havermouth, Present Time“It’s Biblical out there!” Tyler exclaimed.“Water brings things to the surface,” Talen agreed.They stood in the center of the road through Havermouth. Aislen looked from Talen to the street around them, her eyes dragging, the colors harsh and causing haloes in her vision. All around, the traffic had come to a standstill, the pedestrians standing like statues on the footpath, all looking down as the water came rushing in, swirling in brown froth around their feet.A dream, she told herself. It’s a dream. Not real.“Bodies in the water,” Heath commented from behind her.She almost managed not to start when something brushed against her leg, looking down knowing what she was going to see. It wasn’t any easier, but she forced herself to look, to stare unflinching down at the water-bloated decaying body that drifted just under the surface.A woman, her hair snarling around her head like riverweed, her long dress torn and filthy, riding up her thighs. Her belly wa
Havermouth, Present TimeAislen stood on the balcony whilst the wind whipped and tore at her hair and tried to penetrate Rhett’s jacket, which she had pretty much decided was hers whether he consented or not. She had showered and dressed in black jeans and one of Talen’s thick, plaid shirts over which she had strapped her corset thinking that the combination gave a grunge goth look. To completement that, she’d twisted her hair into two buns high on her head and gone red with her lips and heavy with the eyeliner.There was something nice about wearing her men’s clothes with the beautiful house behind her and the smell of wood smoke from the fireplace in Rhett’s snug combining with fresh brewed coffee and bacon on the air.Through the elegant French patio doors, she could see Cameron, Rhett and Tyler in the kitchen – the latter having appeared as if summoned by the smell of coffee and bacon, and subsequently had been roped into chopping vine ripened tomatoes, mushrooms and big bunches o
Havermouth, Present Time They set two extra places at the table, and everyone sat down to eat other than Talen, who took a seat companionably anyway. Aislen couldn’t help but sneak him looks out of the corner of her eye, trying to acclimate herself to the man without his beard. He caught her looking and his eyes danced with laughter as he smiled and put his hand on her knee under the table. Outside, it resumed raining, and everyone paused in order to look out through the French doors as the water washed over the boards of the balcony. “Because what we need is more water,” Rhett commented wryly. “The crossing over the river is all but blocked off,” Constable Overly advised. “And we’re reserving those roads and bridges that are unflooded for emergency services and only allowing limited traffic to pass.” “How are people taking the restrictions?” Heath ate neatly around the question. “There’s a pretty good community spirit going,” Patience replied. “Lots of riverside properties own b
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeRhett knew that there was trouble the moment that he entered the kitchen. Phillip calmly ate his toast between sips of black coffee, his phone on the marble countertop, scrolling through emails, however Rhett’s mum caught his eye, her expression strained, and she gave a slight shake of her head. She was later leaving than her usual routine, which was warning in itself. She had stayed to mitigate Phillip’s anger.“Rhett,” Phillip lifted his eyes from the phone, his expression cool and calm.“I’m late,” Rhett said edging around the counter towards the door.“Be late. I want to talk to you before I leave.”“Phillip,” Lora murmured.Phillip cast her an irritated look. “Go to work, Lora.” She swallowed, wavering between obeying her mate and alpha, and protecting her son from his anger. A muscle worked in the corner of Phillip’s jaw. “Go on.”Lora cast Rhett a desperate look over her shoulder as she picked up her bag and went to the door. “Phillip,” she tried a
Havermouth, Five Years BeforeCameron and Heath threaded their way through the crowded corridors. “I haven’t seen Rhett this morning,” Cameron said as they stepped out of the doors and began to make their way towards the hill. He tried to keep his tone light, but there was a tightness to his throat that echoed that which gripped his heart.Had Rhett picked up Aislen and skipped school? Had he taken her to the river house to f-k, without Cameron and Heath? The feeling reminded Cameron of that he’d had when Rhett and Heath were sneaking off to f-k after they’d both turned eighteen and hadn’t told him that they were mates. He felt left out, excluded, and jealous.At least this time, he wasn’t alone. Heath was right there with him.“No,” Heath was frowning. “I haven’t seen him.”“He wouldn’t have…” Cameron flicked his blond mate a look from under his eyelashes. “Picked her up and taken her to the river house without us, would he?” That stung extra hard because the river house was Cameron’
