Brother’s Best Friends Are My Mates novel Chapter 99

Jesse

It was quite a sight to see Lia laying there, all tired out from our night. When she woke up, she decided she was going to take a shower. I also felt the same urge, so I agreed to join her.

She flushed, but walked into the bathroom with me.

It didn’t take long for our clothes to fly off and I pinned her against the shower. Moaning, she tilted her head to the side. I knew exactly which bite mark was mine. With a growl, I sunk my fangs into the soft flesh, reopening the wound.

But there was no pain. My saliva acted as a bit of a salve, soothing any pain she might feel.

Whimpering to herself, she wrapped her arms around me, rubbing against my erect cock. It was enough to make my growl. “Everyone is going to hear.”

“It’s only three people,” I pointed out, grinding against her damp sex.

Lia flushed. “I know but it’s still embarrassing.”

Chuckling, I rubbed at her clit. She cried out, throwing her head back as I touched the swollen nub. Lia was losing it, begging me to slip inside her.

Twirling her around, I encouraged her to lean against the wall of the shower, bending her forward so her ass jutted out towards me.

For a moment, I sat there entranced by the sight. It was beyond sexy, but I wanted to do more than stare. Groaning, I slipped inside her.

My pace was fast. I would snap my hips, hitting that spot inside her. She was struggling to gain purchase, clinging to the walls of the shower. It was damp so it wasn’t the easiest thing for her to do.

Her moans and my growls filled the room. I spilled my seed inside her, wrapping an arm around her waist to prevent her from falling forward.

“Oh my god,” Lia whispered. “Is it possible to die of sex? I feel like I’m going to die of sex.”

I chuckled. “I don’t know. But the guys and I are willing to find out if you feel up to it.”

Lia turned around, glaring at me from over her shoulder.

“No, I don’t think that’s how I want to go.”

Chuckling again, I eased out of her, enjoying her soft whimper. For the rest of the time in the shower, we focused on cleaning ourselves up and throwing on a pair of the robes the hotel provided.

Then it was the other guy’s turn to shower. Lia started to doze off. When she woke up, she asked if we could get something to eat.

“Oh shit yes please,” Rain whined. “I am so fucking hungry right now guys. It feels like all we’ve done is fuck and bite.” Lia blinked. “That is basically what we have done, Rain.”

“I mean, that is what we’re supposed to do,” Colby pointed out. “But Lia is right. We should eat right now because there is more fucking to come.”

It was pretty amazing how easily we could usually talk about this. I remembered when the four of us were getting jealous of each other. There was no jealousy towards my friends anymore. If I thought of Lia being approached by another alpha then I definitely would get upset but not if it was Colby, Rain, or Matt.

We truly had come a long way.

Lia did start to doze after we ate. She needed to rest, leaving the rest of us guys to get lost in our thoughts.

I was wondering if it would feel like things would change. Right now, it didn’t feel like things had changed. There was a stronger connection I had to Lia but it was going to be a few days before either of us saw any kind of change.

But I was ready for them. All of us were, to be honest.

Lia

Most of our time at the hotel was a blur. We did spend a lot of time being intimate, taking breaks to eat or talk but most of it was them fucking me.

I remembered all of it after a while.

My cheeks

My phone buzzed the second I shut my bedroom door. Simone. Of course.

I barely had a chance to say hello before she spoke.

“Tell. Me. Everything.”

I groaned, pressing my forehead against the door. “Simone, I just got home.”

“Yeah, yeah, and I just lost my patience. Spill. Now.”

I hesitated, glancing at my reflection in the mirror. My shirt collar wasn’t high enough to hide the marks. Darkened, bruised, and sensitive, they practically pulsed in time with my heartbeat. I swallowed.

“There were… bites.”

Silence. Then, a loud, high-pitched squeal nearly blew out my eardrum. I pulled the phone away, cringing.

“Oh. My. God. All four of them?”

I exhaled slowly. “Yes.”

Simone gasped dramatically. “You’re fully bonded. Lia, that’s-holy shit. I can’t believe this. How was it? Wait, first-how are you? Can you even walk?”

I groaned, flopping onto my bed. “Simone.”

“What? It’s a valid question! Four alphas at once? I feel like I need to start you on a protein shake regimen immediately.”

I laughed despite myself, covering my burning face with a pillow. “I’m fine. A little sore. But… fine.”

“I’m sorry, ‘fine’ is not an acceptable answer. I need the details. Who bit you first?”

My breath caught. My fingers drifted to the mark on the right side of my neck, the deepest one, still throbbing. “Colby.” “I freaking knew it. He probably made a whole event out of it, didn’t he?”

My stomach flipped at the memory. Colby’s hands pinning me down, his lips dragging over my throat, teasing, taunting-until his teeth finally sank in, sending a full-body shudder through me.

“I don’t know,” I said again, voice smaller this time. “It wasn’t like I thought it would be. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t-it was just …” I trailed off, searching for words that didn’t exist.

Simone made a thoughtful sound. “You’re in your head too much.”

I scoffed. “Excuse me for thinking about the fact that my entire life just changed overnight.”

“Hey, I get it.” She paused, then, wryly, “But also, you’re the luckiest person I know, and if you don’t see that yet, I’ll personally shake the sense into you.”

I laughed despite myself. “I’d like to see you try.”

“Give it a few days, babe. Let it settle. And in the meantime, call me the second you realize you’re happy about this, because I swear, you will be.”

I didn’t answer right away. Because deep down, I wasn’t sure she was wrong.

“So, do you want to hear about it?” I asked after a while.

Simone had made it clear before that she wanted every detail once I got back home. But instead of excitement, I heard her sigh on the other end-not one of happiness.

“I can’t. My mates, as much as I love them, need me for something right now. But we are getting together soon so you can tell me everything.”

I smiled. “How about we meet in person?”

“At the café tomorrow!” Simone exclaimed, her energy snapping back in full force. “You better show up, Lia. Remember, I know where you live.”

I laughed. “Yes, Simone, I’ll be there.”

“Good,” she said, satisfied. Then, softer, “You’re going to be okay, you know?”

Something in my chest loosened at her words. “Yeah,” I murmured. “I think I will be.”

“Of course you will. Now go get some sleep, and don’t overthink this to death.”

I huffed. “No promises.”

Her laugh was the last thing I heard before the call ended.

Sighing, I threw myself onto the bed. I was excited to go out and have our conversation. It had been a long time since Simone and I had been able to go out and do anything.

This was because of the Rosewater Coven. They had been tormenting us for so long that it was almost hard to believe we were free from their wrath.

Sometimes I feared that they might change their mind and come back, but their coven leader was dead. There was no way that they should consider coming back given everything that happened.

Let them restart their coven somewhere far away from us. I was determined to never talk about them again or so much as think about them again.

Starting from this moment on.
