This week has been crazy, and Graydon was right. Once our families were told of the new vision, it almost turned into putting me on lockdown. No way was I going to let that happen. I’m not going to hide myself away. I refuse to give someone else that kind of power over me again. My boys did get their way and at least one of them spends the night on my couch every night. I can’t say that I’m exactly mad about that, having them close.
School’s going into overdrive with only a few months left. The trial for my stepfather isn’t going to happen. I got word a couple of days ago that he died in a prison fight. Apparently, human or shifter, they don’t take too kindly to inmates that abuse children. I’m unsure of how I feel about it. A part of me is glad that I no longer have to deal with that, but the other part of me wanted to see him suffer in prison. The guys are happy that it’s one less thing on our plates. I’m thankful that Graydon gets to distract me today. I’m tired of talking and thinking about strategies. I’m tired of looking over my shoulder anytime I go out. I just want to forget everything for a few hours, and Graydon is going to be my way of doing that.
Max is the one who stayed on the couch last night, and he volunteered to drop me off at Graydon’s. That’s not weird, right? It’s totally weird. Though I do have to give him some credit, he hasn’t made any jokes about it, yet. He pulls up into Graydon's driveway.
“Thanks for bringing me.”
“Graydon would’ve had my ass if I would have let you walk.”
“True.”
I lean over the console and give him a quick kiss. I hop out the car and run up the steps of the porch. I knock on the door and turn to give Max a wave. Graydon opens the door a few seconds later. Max beeps the horn, then sticks his head out of the driver door window.
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,” he yells.
He puts the car in reverse and backs out and drives a few houses down. We can see him from where we are standing. He gets out and looks in our direction. Max turns to the side, puts his arms waist level, bent at the elbows, and does a humping motion. He then puts one arm out in front of him and uses his other, motioning a smack back and forth. Like he was hitting it from behind. He looks back at us, cackles, then takes off for his house.
I sigh. “I knew it was coming. He was too quiet on the way here.”
“He did it mostly for me because he knew it would piss me off.”
I look at Graydon and his ever-present scowl is on his face and his arms are folded. “That’s not the only reason.” He looks at me, question my statement. “Let’s go inside. I have something to tell you.”
“I have a feeling I’m not going to like it.”
“Probably not.”
Graydon moves and lets me in. He closes and locks the door. I wait for him to show me where we are going. He grabs my hand and leads me upstairs to his bedroom. He shuts the door behind us.
“Tell me.”
“The reason Max was making those motions is because… is because we had sex.” I cringe because I’m expecting a blow up, a growl, or some hollering, and none of that happens. I look up and see that he’s just staring at me, mouth agape, hands at his side, limp. “Graydon? Are you okay?” I stand there waiting, and I get nothing. I project my thoughts to Zeke, Lucian, and Max.
I think I broke Graydon.
Did you guys finish that fast? You know you have to be gentle with him. He’s a sensitive soul. I can hear the laugh in Max’s tone.
What happened? Lucian questions.
I told him that Max and I had sex.
Why did you do that?
Well, you didn't exactly give me a choice with all your suggestive moves a little bit ago.
Man, I’m going to have to hide. He’s going to kill me.
I guess the rest of us are going to have to hide with you once he finds out about me and Lucian. I think I’m the one that’ll be in the most trouble since I was the first.
No one needs to hide, he’ll be fine. Just give him some time to process what you said. If he’s still not responsive in a few minutes let us know and we’ll come over.
Okay.
I walk up to Graydon and touch his arm, shaking him. “Graydon, you need to snap out of it. If not, I’m going to have to get help.” I wait. “Graydon, please. Say something, anything.” I’m about to give up when he finally says something.
“Who else?”
“Zeke and Lucian.”
“So, I’m the only one who’s left?” I nod. “Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t they?” His voice rising.
“Because it wasn’t any of your business. What happens between me and others intimately doesn’t concern you.”
“Doesn’t concern me? Doesn’t concern me? The hell it don’t.”
“What would you knowing have done? It wouldn’t have changed anything.”
“This is something big. This takes our relationship to the next level. You didn’t think to talk about it?”
“No Graydon; I didn’t, because it was my choice. When I did it and whatever I did with them was my choice,” My voice rising with each word.
“So, I guess you just choose not to do anything with me.”
“If you keep being an ass, then no, I won’t.”
We end up in a stare off, each of us refusing to look away. Both of us have our arms crossed and scowls on our faces. We stay that way, until the tension between us is too much.
Graydon
Callie gets me so fired up. I swear she looks beautiful standing before me, with her face flush from yelling. Her arms are crossed beneath her chest, which is slightly heaving, drawing attention to her breast. All I want to do is pick her up and bang her on the nearest surface. At this point, the damn wall will do. I wonder how she would take that? I’m the only one that she hasn’t been with yet, and it pisses me off. I know it’s not logical to think that I should have all of her first, but damn it I wanted to be.
“Graydon, are you even listening to me?”
Honestly, no. All I’m thinking about is getting her naked and soon. I should wait. I mean our first time shouldn’t be when we’re fighting. It should be hearts and flowers or some shit. That’s not who I am, but that’s what Callie deserves. I run my fingers through my hair. Screw it.
Before Callie even has a chance to protest, I have her in my arms, pressed up against my bedroom door. She wraps her legs around my waist. My lips are on hers before she can even make a sound. She wraps one of her arms around my neck. Her other hand goes to my hair, gripping, tugging. I growl, and she moans. I use my tongue to swipe at her lips. She parts them just like I want. I slip my tongue in her mouth. I want to be closer, to feel her skin on mine.
I move us away from the door and place Callie on her feet. Gripping the hem of her shirt, I pull it up and off of her, tossing it to the floor. She takes a step toward me, placing her hands under my shirt, feeling the muscles on my stomach. She pushes my shirt up. I reach up and pull my shirt off. Callie waste no time before she is touching and exploring every inch of my bare skin. It feels amazing. Her hands are soft and tentative, feather like. She walks behind me, never breaking contact.
“Like what you see?”
“You know I do.”
She stops in front of me, both hands going to the zipper and button on my jeans, making quick work of both. Her hands move across my Adonis belt, gripping my jeans, tugging them down. I step out of them, standing in front of her in nothing but my boxers. I tug her closer by using her belt loops and quickly divest her of her jeans. I growl. Callie looks so hot in her hot pink bra and panties, that I hope she’s not too fond of because I’m about to rip them off of her. I inhale deeply, growling as I scent her arousal. We crash into each other. My mouth is on hers; my hands on her waist lifting her. Her legs wrap around my waist, her arms around my neck.
I walk her back to my bedroom door, pressing her back into it. I wasn’t kidding when I said the wall would do. I move my hand up her side, stopping at her bra. I fist the front, pulling the cup down, freeing one of Callie’s breast. I instantly put her nipple in my mouth. Sucking, licking, biting, teasing. I do the same on her other side. I shift my hands enough to get my claws out, using them to rip her underwear right off.
“Graydon,” she says breathlessly. “Please.”
I grab my cock, adjusting so the tip is at her entrance. I slam into her and she cries out. “Hold onto me Callie, this is going to be fast and rough.”
She places her hands on my shoulders; my hands go to her waist. I give her second to adjust to me. She wiggles. I pull out a little, testing, before I slam back in. I feel her nails digging into my shoulders and I lose control. I start bouncing her on my cock, hard and fast. The sound of her moans spurring me on more. You can hear the sound of our thighs slapping when I bring her down. I tighten my grip on her hips, pounding into her faster and harder. I’m so close to coming, but I need her come first.
Callie squeezes my waist with her legs, dragging her nails across my back. There will be marks, which only turns me on more. I increase my pace, going as fast as I can, causing her back to thump off the door. Then just when I don’t think I can hold out any longer, Callie finds her release, screaming my name. It puts me over the edge and I follow her, roaring out my release.
Both of us are panting, trying to catch our breath. I place my forehead on her shoulder as she runs her hands through my hair.
“Remind me to piss you off every time before we have sex,” Callie says softly. I understand what she means, but I find it funny to hear her say those words. My shoulders start to shake from trying to hold my laughter in. “Oh my God. Are you crying? Did you not like it? Are you a sensitive person after sex?” My body shakes harder. “Tell me what to do? Graydon please.”
I couldn’t hold it in anymore, and I burst out laughing. I pull back to look at her face once I get myself under control. “I agree with you; angry sex is differently going to be our thing.” She smiles as I set her down on her feet.
“Thank God your dad wasn’t home. I couldn’t have been quiet even if I tried.” My chest, pride, and ego swell.
Taking her hand, I lead her across the hall to the bathroom. “Lucky for us, he’s going to be gone all day. I plan on doing this again.”
“Oh really? You plan on making me mad again?” I shrug my shoulders. I wasn’t planning on it. I want to take my time with her later, but I don’t want to tell her that.
“We’ll see.”
I open one of the draws under the sink and pull out a washcloth. Turning on the water, I wait for it to warm up, before running the washcloth underneath. Ringing out the excess water, I kneel before Callie and start to clean her up. It’s not until I stand and start cleaning myself, that I realize I didn’t use a condom.
Oh shit. Shit, shit, shit. Fuck, what the hell am I going to do? What the hell am I going to tell Callie? Fuck, what about the guys? Shit, I’m going to be in so much trouble.
Graydon? What the hell did you do? Zeke growls.
Zeke?
Not just Zeke, Lucian states.
Hahaha. Nope. But I am curious on what happened? Fuck, Max too?
How the hell is this possible?
We all had sex with Callie. Since you can now hear and project to us, I take it you had sex with her too? It’s the only common denominator in this.
Well shit.
Are you going to answer the question? What did you do that you would worry about what Callie and us would think?
Fuck, I don’t know how to say this, let alone tell Callie.
Just spit it out!
I didn’t use protection, I say as fast as I can.
YOU WHAT?
I was so pissed that I was the last one, and we got into an argument, and I wasn’t thinking, okay. Man, I know I fucked up. What the hell do I do?
You man up and tell her.
It was nice knowing you. I can hear the smirk in Max’s voice.
I sigh. I look at Callie, who has a strange look on her face.
“You okay?” she asks.
Hell no, I’m not okay. How could I have been so stupid? I take a deep breath, bracing myself for what I’m about to say and for her reaction.
“I projected to the guys. I know about the link between us.”
“Okay, you don’t seem upset about that, so what is it?”
“I didn’t use protection. I didn’t realize until I was cleaning us up. I’m so sorry. I should have done better. Fuck, I don’t know what to do to make this right?” Callie is just standing there, wide-eyed, not moving. I pull her into my arms. “I’m so sorry, Callie bear. I promise I’ll make this better. I’ll figure out a way.”
Guys get over here now.
On my way.
Leaving now.
Be there in a minute.
I pick Callie up, walking her back to my room, gently sitting her down on my bed. I quickly throw on some jeans. I grab my shirt off the floor and put it on Callie. I grab her panties, but I forgot I ripped them. Shit, think. I look around my room and spot my boxers. I quickly grab those and put them on her as well. Callie didn’t utter a word the whole time. As soon as I’m done, there’s pounding on the door.
Racing down the hall and the stairs, I fling open the door. Zeke, Lucian, and Max are standing there with concern on their faces. I move to the side, and they all file inside. Once I close the door, I lead them upstairs to my room. Callie is in the same position I left her in with the same look of shock and fear on her face.
I run my hands down my face. “She’s been like this since I told her. Fuck!” I want to hit something, but I know that is not what Callie needs right now.
“She’s in shock,” Lucian states.
“Can you blame her? It’s numbnuts fault,” Max says.
Zeke kneels before her, taking both of her hands in his. “Come on sweetheart. Come back to us.”
I need her to snap out of this. I need her. I swear on my life, I’ll make this right.

We didn’t use protection. How could I be so stupid? I’m only eighteen. I’m not ready for a baby. I have a war to fight, school to finish. I have to finish becoming queen. I love Graydon and maybe in a few years we would be ready, but not right now. What if I’m pregnant? Oh my God. What am I going to do? How are the guys going to take this? This is something that we all needed to talk about, something that we all need to agree on.
I’m vaguely aware of Graydon when he dresses me and when the other guys enter. I feel hands and hear quiet murmurs of reassurances. I’m so lost in my own thoughts that I can't snap out of this. I’m not ready to take care of someone else. I can barely keep myself out of danger. Holy shit, this changes everything. Someone moves from in front of me and is replaced by someone else.
They cup my face. I see a pair of green eyes staring back at me. “Callie bear, please baby. Say something, anything.”
Are his eyes watering? Holy shit. Is Graydon about to cry? That snaps me out of it.
“Graydon.” One word is all it takes for him to lose control and let the tears fall. He wraps his arms around my waist, burying his head in my stomach.
“I’m so sorry.” He repeats it over and over again. “I promise we’ll figure it out. I’ll be the best damn dad ever.” That puts a little smile on my face. I start to stroke his hair. I don’t have any doubt he would be an amazing dad. Fierce, loyal, protective, loving.
“How about we worry about that if it happens.” I had a freak out moment and I’m sure I’ll have another one when I get home later, but there is nothing we can do about it now. I’m putting this on the back burner until I know for sure. “I know I freaked, but I had all these thoughts going through my head.”
“That’s understandable. I don’t think any of us are ready to become parents just yet.” Zeke and Max shake their heads.
“If it did, we’ll take it a day at a time. No point stressing over until we know for sure. Let’s just focus on the here and now, because if I don’t, I may freak out again.” I keep running my fingers through Graydon’s hair. “How are you doing Graydon?”
He lets go of me sitting back on his heels. “I should be the one asking you that. I’m sorry, I fucked up. I should know better.”
I shake my head. “This isn’t just on you. It’s on me too.”
“There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you or any baby you had. And if happens I’ll…” Zeke, Max, and Lucian clear their throats, “... we’ll be here for you every step of the way. You won’t be alone in this; you’ll never be alone.”
“What did we learn here boys and girl?” We all stare at Max. “No glove, no love. Don’t be silly and wrap your willy. Cover your stump before you hump. Don’t be a fool, cover your tool.”
I reach behind me and throw a pillow at him before he can continue. He starts to giggle, and I can’t help the smile that crosses my lips. In a way, I needed that. This will all work itself out, and I have my guys to help me through this.
