Rebby
I’m not sure what wakes me, but I panic as I can’t move. A leg is slung over my hip, an arm wrapped around me and a warm, hard ...chest pressed against my back. My eyes fly open as I realize that I am sandwiched between Tristan and Theo, then I blush when I realize that my hand is perilously close to a very large dick. Squishing my eyes shut, I jerk my hand away, my face burning. I pray that neither of them are awake.
“You didn’t have to move your hand,” a groggy voice says. “Well, not unless it was to move it lower.”
“You’re awake!” I squeak, mortified.
“Do you want me to go back to sleep?” Tristan teases.
“No, but can the bed swallow me? This is...awkward.” And oh so enjoyable. It’s been a long time since I have had human touch and maybe I’m a little starved for it.
“So, have you thought about what I asked?” Theo whispers in my ear.
“It’s growing on me.” I say tongue in cheek. “Now, gentleman if you don’t mind, I could use the little girl’s room.”
Theo chuckles and gets up, allowing me to climb off the bed. I quickly run to the bathroom, thanking God that I am still clothed. Shifters and their comfort with being naked is hard to understand. Yesterday I had made Tristan cover his junk with a pillow, now I am going to have to walk around here seeing who knows how many men’s junk hanging out. My face might burn off.
Making a show of flushing and washing my hands, I leave the bathroom. “Um, so what is going to happen today?” I keep my eyes everywhere but on the two men lounging in the room.
“We won’t bite, you know,” Tristan laughs. “You can look at us.”
I wave my hand in his general direction. “No, I can’t. You have all- that- hanging out there.”
“Rebby, shifters don’t have the same hang-ups that humans do about nudity. Most of us prefer to not wear clothes, only doing it when we have to for social reasons.”
I splutter, “So you would walk around like this with your mother in the room?”
The two men look at each other and blush. “Well, not that they haven’t seen us like this, but no. It is just weird.”
“Well, then, until I am ready to take this somewhere, consider me your mother.” I cross my arms over my chest.
Tristan starts laughing as he carefully sits up. “No can do, sweetheart. The way I have been thinking of you half the night, it would be illegal in most countries if I did that with my mother.”
I flush another shade of pink at his words and the way he wiggles his eyebrows.
“He’s right, Rebby. I can’t think of you as my mother or sister.” Theo shivers. “That would be just wrong.”
“Can you just cover up so I can at least think?” I plead. Tristan grins and pulls one of the pillows into his lap. Theo turns so that I am seeing his back.
“Better?”
I shake my head and am about to respond when there is a knock on the door. I open the door to see another naked shifter in front of me. Yanking my eyes up to his, I raise an eyebrow.
“Is Theo here? James would like to speak with him,” the man says, a humorous look in his eyes at my reaction to him being naked. “None of the lab shifters know what to make of us, walking around buck naked. You’ll get used to it.”
I shake my head, prepared to tell him I wouldn’t ever get used to it. But Theo comes up behind me. “Tell James I will meet him in the courtyard in ten minutes, please.” He shuts the door in the man’s face, then kisses me. Not a soft kiss like before, but one laying claim to me.
“Remember what we’ve been talking about? Keep thinking about it.” He kisses me one more time then heads into the bathroom. I can hear him whistling as the shower turns on.
