Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mother, May I: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

“Dad, you’re going to have to order me again,” I say, barely getting the words out before another wave of anxiety crashes over me. It’s relentless—my heart won’t stop pounding, my skin feels too tight, and my breath keeps catching like I’m running a race I never signed up for.I’m standing at the top of the hill, overlooking the battle. Normally, Dad would be out there—camouflaged in the thick of it, protecting our pack. He has one of the coolest powers I’ve ever seen. Despite all his tattoos and history—relics of his life with Aunt Chloe and Aunt Keisha before he met Mom—he can disappear. Like fully disappear. You could walk right by him, sniff the air, stare him dead in the face… and still not see him.The only person who could see him was Gregory. He could copy powers. That made their dynamic insane in battle.I used to sit in awe while Mom and Dad told stories—how he’d sneak into enemy territory, snag battle plans, and mindlink them to Mom. With her power as a tactician, they saved

The feeling of Nate’s skin against mine is addictive. His lips are soft and warm, and his scent—grass, dirt, sweat—is masculine in the most primal way.I never thought I’d actually kiss Nathan Swift. Especially not after he found out Nyx was his mate. But here I am. Kissing him.In the back of my mind, I know this isn’t smart. He’s heartbroken. The Maiden’s magic is riding both of us. And when this war is over, he’s going to try to get her back.But I can’t stop myself.The magic is pushing me too hard.And honestly? It’s not the only thing I want riding me.Still, I have to pull away. I need to know it’s not just my feelings that are dragging this forward.I break the kiss and lean back, both of us breathing hard. His beautiful dark blue eyes are starting to bleed into the whites—intensity and lust so sharp it makes me ache.“What's wrong?” he asks, tears still staining his cheeks.I wipe them away gently with my thumbs, and he leans into my hand, snuggling against it like it’s the fi

“They’re okay!” I call to Jacob.“Thank the Goddess,” he exhales, pulling me into a huge hug. “Where are they?”“Making out on the battlefield,” I giggle.Jacob pulls back, raising an eyebrow. “Seriously?”“Babe, wouldn’t you?” I tease. “We haven’t had Hermes in months—we were moping around like we lost our favorite dick.”“I can’t tell if it’s my favorite dick—I haven’t even had his dick yet,” Jacob mutters. “Still not sure I’m ready for a fourth in our mating.”“Dude, fuck off. You know you want him. We all do. We’ve talked about this,” I say, smacking his chest.Jacob just stares.“Are you fucking serious, Jacob?” I snap. “You really gonna pretend you didn’t miss him?”“No, I… I don’t deny it. I just… this doesn’t really solve anything, right? I still don’t know the guy. He still fucked up our matebond. And I still don’t know if this is what I really want,” he says.“You know what, Jacob? You can fuck right off with that bullshit. You know damn well you want him. He’s exactly what o

It takes about two more hours before the feast laid before us by Hecate, Selene, and Thor finally comes to a close. Between strategizing what happens next, toasting the fallen, mourning the loss of Nyx, and the general revelry that follows victory, it takes that long for things to settle.As it winds down, Selene walks over to my mates and me. Without much preamble, she turns to Hermes and says, “If you're going to stay away from Lucifer, you’ll have to come with us to Valhalla. It’s the only place we can fully control who comes and goes without spreading ourselves too thin.”Hermes nods like he was expecting it. “I understand. But I won’t go anywhere without my mates. We’ve spent too much time apart already. I refuse to be separated again.”It’s not unexpected—at least, not for JoJo, since they’ve marked each other. No one can be apart from a marked mate for long without it causing some serious physical and emotional damage.But the fact that Hermes includes Jacob and me in that decla

The feeling of Alexander’s thick, hard length sliding into Josefina’s tightness has my cock standing at attention and aching for them already. I had no idea it was this intense for a woman to be penetrated. To be teased. To be fucked.Yes, I’ve had sex with both men and women during my time on Earth. It's hard to stick with one gender when you’ve existed for eons. I thought I’d experienced every form of pleasure there is—penetrating, being penetrated, domination, submission. That’s why I was glad to have two male mates and one female. I like to take as much as I give, and with men, you can do both.But this? This connection I have with Josefina—this echo of what she feels—is something I never could’ve imagined. The sheer variety of pleasure a woman can feel: the sensitivity in her nipples, the number of nerves in her clit—more than in the head of a cock—and the bundles of sensation inside her body. Not even including her ass.Playing with Josefina might be my new favorite pastime. Or m
