Reckoning: A Reverse Harem Tale (Mountain Magic Book 3)
no real way to accomplish that yet, so everyone was still in bed. Someone had gotten warm and kicked the covers mostly off last night, and to be fair, with two werewolves, even in human form, practically laying on top of me, I wasn't cold. Nikolai was wrapped around Allan though he still had a leg hooked over mine. Ed still lay mostly sprawled across me and Doc was pressed up against Ed and me.I sighed contently, though my full bladder was sort of becoming an issue. Still, I didn't want to move.
After a while, I noticed Ed staring at me, lips turned up.
"Morning," I said.
He grinned.
"How was your run?"
"Good," Allan answered for both of them. "Nice to have Ed with me for a change."
"How was your evening?" Ed asked slyly.
"Um, good." My cheeks colored and my body tightened as last nights' activities surfaced in my mind.
"Just good? You two need to work harder if her evening was just good," Ed chided.
Nikolai grunted in annoyance. Doc laughed quietly.
I could tell Nikolai wanted to say something biting in reply, but he kept his comment to himself.
"You're expecting me to be eloquent before caffeine?" I poked Ed in the shoulder. "Last night was great. Do you want details?"
Ed studied me for a minute before grinning. "Maybe later. Right now," he slid a hand up my side before cupping one of my breasts, "I want breakfast."
I shivered under his touch, before thinking he was going to abandon me for food again. Raising my eyebrows, I was about to grumble at him, when he took my other breast in his mouth.
"Oh," I gasped.
Clearly, the guys wanted to catch up with me, too. I think Nikolai had healed me last night after Doc had fed from me. At least, I didn't feel tired or sore from our activities, so he must have, and I had zero objections to Ed's attention.
Allan claimed my lips while Ed worked his way lower.
Someone's phone buzzed and Doc cursed. I lost track of him and Nikolai as Allan and Ed worked my body. I wanted to reciprocate, but with both of them touching me, my mind swam. Neither acted bothered.
Ed went to work with his tongue, while Allan focused on my breasts. My hips rocked and I moaned, encouraging Ed to continue. I finally got some semblance of control over my hands and I dug my fingers into Allan's back, my other hand gripping the sheets as I panted.
It didn't take long before I was crying out as my body responded to their ministrations.
"Hmm, good breakfast," Ed purred.
We lay there for a few more minutes before Allan and Ed both got up. I cast Nikolai's cleaning spell and buried myself back under the covers, not ready to get up after that.
"Sleepyhead," Nikolai whispered, pulling me into his arms, though he left the comforter around me. "Hungry?"
"For food?"
"Yes."
I pulled the comforter down and looked him, grinning. "What's for breakfast?"
"Not as good as usual, but managed cereal and milk."
"Works for me." I finally climbed out of bed, ignored all the eyes on me as I dressed, and went outside into the snowstorm to find a tree. Magic kept me warm and dry, but this wasn't going to be a great solution for very long. I hoped the guys thought of something better soon. The yurt itself was fantastic.
"What's the plan for today?" I asked after I had scarfed a bowl of cereal and climbed back onto the bed since I didn't want to sit on the floor.
"Well, it's still snowing. Deputy Morrison wants to talk to us at some point but said to wait until the snow stopped. I have no idea where you stand on homework, but you might want to check on that," Doc answered.
"Ugh. Yeah. Exams. Shit." I tried out a few Russian curses and earned a nod of approval from Nikolai. "At least everything is online. Though, it feels a bit weird thinking about school when Ash is still a prisoner."
The guys nodded.
"We want him back with us, too," Allan said. "We miss having him around. Even if he is grumpy."
"Can you blame him?" Resigned to focusing on school, I glanced around for my bag and found it in the corner. My phone and my tablet were in there.
"No," Doc agreed with me.
Allan, anticipating what I needed, handed it to me. I gave him a grateful smile. First, I answered a few texts, checking in with Victoria and Mom, then I turned on the tablet and hoped that, somehow, I wasn't super behind on homework.
Chapter 5
Doc
Spending the entire weekend basically snowed in with the guys and Sofia had been a fantastic way to end the holiday week. Though he dreaded dealing with Deputy Morrison after he was done with classes for the day, at least nothing unfortunate had happened over the weekend. Doc acted almost relaxed for the first time in months.
Nikolai chose to stay up at the yurt and work on some form of kitchen, now that Sofia was more than capable of taking care of herself. The two mages had spent a fair bit of time in her grove making sure she had a good grasp on at least some of the knowledge the demon had left her, and Nikolai claimed to have learned a few things from Sofia in the process.
Though Doc wasn't sure why the demon had been so generous, he suspected it was on purpose, and probably had to do with her desire to see the Andersons nuked because of what they had done to her and Sofia, and probably Ash, too.
What to do about Ash?
Doc didn't expect the Andersons to let their pet demon out of their sight anytime soon now that they'd broken the bonds on the more powerful demon. Beyond having promised to free Ash if possible—which it now was—Doc hated to see anyone being controlled by someone else. He also missed having Ash around. Hopefully, they could do something for him soon.
They had all gotten up
