Chapter 0229
“Do you wantto chome?” Deacon asks through the mind link, obviously feeling what is happening
through the bond.
“No, I'm okay for now,” | respond, not needing another one of my guys here right now.
“Okay, I'm going to put my shields up. I'll chat lunch,” he responds.
Luke comes back in and says the meeting has been rearranged for next week, and then he givesa moment
to say goodbye before he takes Joel, saying he will take him to see his family for a few hours. Leavingalone
with Mason, Axel and Theo. | hate that | can’t see the kids for a few days, but it’s for the best when I'm in heat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis will be my first one since Joel calong, it will be the longest I've been away from him since he was born.
“How are you feeling?” Axel asks.
“I'm okay. | want to get the kid's stuff packed for their sleepover before things get intense,” | say, finally
releasing my grip on Mason.
“Tell us what to pack, let us help,” Theo says.
“Okay, Theo, pack Harper sclothes and pyjamas, don’t forget her ‘Little Bean’ blanket,” | say. Harper loves
the blanket that Deacon had bought for her before she was born, she can’t sleep without it.
“Got it,” Theo says before rushing off.
“Axe, can you pack Atlas’ stuff? Make sure you put his teddy in or he’ll cry all night,” | tell him. He nods and
heads to Atlas’ room.
“Are we packing Joel's stuff?” Mason asks pulling off his T-shirt and exposing his inked skin to me.
| can’t stop myself from reaching out to touch him and | feel instantly more relaxed at the contact.
“Yes, and can you call Coner forand tell him | won't be able to teach the dance class tonight? He should be
able to manage alone, if he can’t, ask him to let everyone know it’s cancelled,” | say.
“Theo can call him,” he grumbles and | fight off a smirk. The guys are all fine with Coner now, except Mason. He
tolerates him for my sake but he won't talk to him unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Mason followsto Joel's room, the room looks so much different now that Joel has moved into it. The dark grey
walls are now painted green and are adorned with jungle animals. After Harper was born we had decided that the
father of each child would give up their bedroom for them and decorate it how they liked. My guys barely use
their own rooms anyway, so we didn’t feel the need to move to a bigger house to accommodate our growing
family. Mason's old room is now painted in pink and cream with a large crown mural for our little princess.
Deacon's old room is now ocean-themed. We had taken Harper and Atlas to the aquarium in the human realm
when he was one, and he had been fascinated by it. So much so that Deacon had painted his room to match it
the very next day.
Once the kid's stuff is all packed up, | spend the next few hours moving between Axel, Theo and Mason. All three
are shirtless, and can’t stop touching them. I cling to them like a chimp, and they letknow how much they
love it. I'm straddling Axel, my chest pressed to his as we watch TV when the first wave of desire grips me. |
whimper with need, and my guys jump straight into action.
