บททั้งหมดของ The First Mate : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

I nodded. "Yes, let's go home. If we're late, the other two might make me use my new bell." I slipped out of his hold as he looked at me confused and curious. I giggled, finding the small gift shop bag with the bell and whistle I'd found, throwing it at him. "Thank you for the presents." His hand found the cute push up bra and panties set in referee stripped black and white. Xavier growled in approval at the sight as I climbed into the passenger seat. He finished loading the car and returned the cart, stopping when someone called his name. I looked around, seeing it was a pretty girl around my age, with blonde hair, long legs and four lookalikes surrounding her. They all wore the gym clothes from school. The way she sauntered over to Xavier made Annie growl for a moment, ready to get out of the car, until she saw Xavier straightened. His fist clenched in annoyance as she said something to him I couldn't hear over the giggling that surrounded them. I did hear Xavier roar at

Xavier cooked us an amazing steak dinner with all the sides of salad, Mac and cheese with a pan gravy that made me moan. Theo made chocolate brownies with pistachio icecream - apparently something he always kept in abundance since half a shelf in the freezer was dedicated to containers of them - and Dane turned the concaved nook into a blanket and pillow paradise for me to snuggle between them all while we watched a few episodes before bed. The episode ended and Xavier took our bowls as I yawned and stretched across Dane's lap, arching my back and stretching my arms above my head. I gave a humm at the end, Dane's hand running through my hair and I raised my leg beside Theo's hip, my other leg over his lap as I pulled the warm blankets off us. Theo took the chance to trail his hand down my exposed thigh. I shuddered, my legs trying to close only for Dane to hold one knee down while Theo took the other, moving to lay between them. He pressed a kiss to my inner thigh and I whimp

The aura swelled, pressing down on me like a physical weight and I found myself submitting, rolling onto my back. Dane leaned down, nuzzling my neck where his mark sat even under Annie's fur. If they didn't, their Shifted forms did. If you hadn't found us. If Annie hadn't known to trust us and call out Xavier's name. You'd have died during your marking, which if someone found out you were a Foxen.... He gave a heavy sigh. Your guardians did this on purpose, Rose. I released a whimper at the thought. Xavier had said it caused a bloodlust in the males. I'd seen it. Felt it. Now, I felt the swells of shame from Theo and Dane for how they'd marked me. How they'd almost killed me because I didn't know. If I'd known Annie was different.... It wasn't your fault. I said sternly. I rolled, getting to my feet and Shifting. I stroked Dane's nose and chest, his fur soft and thick. "Annie and I know, if we'd said any of your names." I met all their eyes. "You'd have stopped. I w

She looked over my clothing, sniffing me as I raised my lip in disgust at her and stepped back into the hallway, covering my scent with the others that filled the halls. There were other students passing us, some slowing seeing Alison take another step towards me growling. I growled back, Annie making me step towards her and letting her smell Theo and Dane on me. "Like what you smell?" I snarled at her. Her eyes widened in insult. "You little bitch!" She snarled at me, stepping in my face. I smirked. "What's wrong Alison? Mad they insisted I wear their clothes today? Or did they just never offer?" I tilted my head at her, pouting sadly. Lisa giggled beside me, a few other students around chuckling as well. "Just because you're fucking half the Triad, doesn't mean shit." She crossed her arms across her large chest. "I've fucked all of them since we were pups, they'll get bored of you and come crawling back to me." I snarled at her, Annie calling her a liar. I'd felt en

Lunch ended with Dane making sure I finished my tray, both him and Theo giving me a kiss before Lisa and I headed for the change rooms. Xavier had changed the schedule. We had archery all afternoon, which I was okay with when Lisa led me to the field and I saw Theo shirtless with Dane beside him as they shot at targets halfway across the field. My eyes widened when I saw them both hit the small centre red mark. Lisa chuckled, nudging me to the left and I saw Xavier waiting with his arms crossed and a bag in his hand. I couldn't stop the slight jog that picked up my speed as I headed for him, a desire to jump into his arms. I slowed myself, seeing the few eyes of Shifters look at me as I approached him. He ignored them, dropping the bag gently on the ground before he ran at me, covering the gap between us in two strides as he leaned down to wrap his arms around my waist and lifted me up, claiming my lips. "Don't hesitate." He growled against my mouth, I moaned, opening for his
