Keeping My Pack (17 page)

K
ellan and I return from the hospital, where there was no change in Mikey’s condition, and meet Finn for my lesson. Today, he promised to teach me how to use a cell phone. Instead of leaving us in the library like he usually does, Kellan decides to rest on Big Jace, picking up the second Harry Potter book that me and Finn take turns reading. It’s one of my favorite stories, and because it’s an entirely made-up world, it’s fun to read it slowly like normal people do, and imagine myself there, even though imagining things I’ve seen is hard for me sometimes.

After Finn shows me how to place calls, send notes to people and take pictures, he shows me how to use the internet, and we set up an electronic mailbox for me. I send notes to some of the guys, giggling at all the silly faces I add to them. Logan sends me back a moving picture of a cat jumping at the sight of a cucumber, it just replays and replays. After I watch it play for the fifth time, Finn places his hand over mine, chuckling at me.

“
We haven’t to memes yet.” He says playfully.

“
Can I call Remy?” I ask, pulling up my phone book.

Kellan laughs from his spot by the window, his eyes closed as he rests on the bear. “You should ask him if his refrigerator is running.”

“
And you don’t have to ask to make a call, Kitten, it’s your phone, I told you that,” Finn adds.

I push the green phone next to Remy’s name and hold the silver phone up to my ear. “Hello, Love.” He answers after two rings.

“
Hi, Remy!” I chirp excitedly. I’ve known what phones are for a long time, and almost everyone has a small one like this now, but I’ve only used one once before, and the idea of having a conversation with someone that’s a long distance away is still exciting to me.

“
I see they’ve finally given you your phone, not that you really need one at the moment, but Jace has been on me ever since he bought it. Do you like it?” He chats.

“
I do, this is fun. Where are you?” I ask as I kick off my shoes and swing my feet back and forth.

“
I’m at the office downtown. Just boxing up some things and preparing to close it down.” He tells me.

“
Close it down?” I question.

“
It would be pointless to keep the office here once we move, and I mostly work at home anyway.” He says and I hear papers shuffling in the background. So cool.

“
Why would we move? And where do you work?” My back starts to hurt from sitting in the hard, wooden chair, so I get up and pace the floor, rubbing at my spine with my free hand.

“
To the pack house in Colorado. You’ve decided to take on the role of Ivaskov Princess, so it’s inevitable. Maybe we can speak about this when I’m home; I’ll be back in a few hours.” Remy states.

“
Okay.” I sigh. “Oh! I forgot, is your refrigerator running? Kellan told me to ask, though I’m sure we could go see ourselves.”

Remy’s laugh rumbles through the phone. “It’s meant to be a prank, though it seems they didn’t explain it to you. Ask Finn about it. I’ll see you soon, Love.”

“
Okay, I’ll ask him,” I say, but Remy doesn’t say anything back. I sit for a minute, wondering what he’s doing now. “Are you still holding the phone?” I ask.

He laughs again. “Yes, Kitten, I’m still here. When I said I’ll see you soon, I meant I was getting off the phone, or hanging up.” He explains.

“
But you didn’t get off the phone,” I state slowly.

“
Because something told me you didn’t understand that I was saying goodbye, and I wasn’t risking a kick to the shin later if you thought I hung up on you.” He chuckles more now.

“
Oh. Goodbye then, or see you soon.” I tell him before hurrying to push the red button.

“
I lover, I mean, I
really
love her,” Kellan exclaims, speaking to Finn I presume.

Finn sighs. “I apologize, maybe we should have gone over how to close out a conversation.” He tells me.

I scratch at my itchy skin as I shake my head at him. “I know how to have a conversation, it’s just easier to tell when it’s over in person. I can manage on my own.”

“
What’s the matter, Kitten? You’ve been squirmy since before we even left the hospital.” Kellan says as he gets up, making his way over to me.

“
I don’t know.” I shrug. “I just feel uncomfortable. I’m sore and itchy.”

Kellan nods his head, looking over me critically. “Sounds about right. Have you experienced any soreness in your gums? Feeling like your bones are in pain? Skin feeling tight? Headaches?”

My eyes widen, and I nod my head. It’s not all of the time, but I’ve felt each of these things. Kellan gives me a lopsided grin before continuing. “There are a few medications I can give you if you get to feeling too uncomfortable, but it’s nothing to worry about. There’s no way to tell if you’ll be able to shift or not, but it sounds like your wolf is getting restless. If you experience anything else abnormal, come and tell me. You can always talk to me, Kitten. Whatever happens, we’ll get through it together. I frown in confusion but nod at him anyway. He gives a hug, then turns me so I can face Finn, who also hugs me.

I smile nervously. “But I’m fine, though, right?” I feel the need for clarification here.

Finn smiles down at me shyly. “Yes, you’re fine. Forgive us if we’re just a bit hopeful.”

“
Hopeful of what?” I ask as Finn tucks my hair behind my ear, his thumb lingering on my chin.

Kellan steps closer behind me, pressing a kiss to my head as his hands rest comfortably on my hips. “That you’ll shift like us. That you’ll be like us and live as long as we do.” He explains

“
Oh,” I say, looking up at Finn’s gorgeous green eyes, knowing that’s the only difference between him and his twin behind me, appearance-wise. “I want to be a wolf like you guys are.”

Finn smiles beautifully, and I have the sudden urge to kiss him. I place my hands on his shoulders and lean up on my toes. After a moment of just standing there awkwardly, I put my feet flat on the ground and deflate a little. He’s too tall to kiss.

Kellan chuckles lowly behind me, his warm breath feathering over my ear. “She wants you to kiss her.” He tells his brother.

Finn’s eyes go wide. “Oh! I didn’t…sorry.” He says before bending down and giving me a peck on the lips.

I pout for a second before I grip his shoulders tightly and tug, letting him know I want him back down here. He complies, and I press my lips to his gently, enjoying the smooth, cushiony curves of his lips. I flick my tongue out to taste him, and he gasps a bit in shock, my tongue entering his mouth out of instinct. His hand comes up to hold the side of my face, and I sigh into the kiss in contentment.

I feel Kellan pulling away behind me, but I place a hand over his on my hip, wanting him to stay. I reach my free hand back, raising my arm to wrap my fingers in his silky black hair.

Finn takes a step forward, effectively pinning me between the two twins. My body heats, and I hum my approval. Turning my head, I meet grass green eyes and lift my chin, hoping he’ll kiss me too. Kellan dives in, trapping my bottom lip between his teeth and tugging slightly. I hiss at the pleasure-pain it causes, though a second later his tongue sweeps in to take the small sting away.

Finn moves his mouth down the column of my neck, sucking my skin into his mouth. I lose track of what he’s doing as Kellan’s hand snakes around to my front, one finger circling my belly button before starting a lazy journey up my ribcage.

I release Kellan’s mouth as I gasp in shock. Finn’s teeth pierce my neck, the heat and electricity of the mating mark flooding my body. My head rolls back to lean on Kellan’s chest as Finn laps at me, drinking deeply. The constant rumble of his chest making my breasts ache with need. As if reading my mind, Kellan’s fingers finally reach my bra, tugging the cup down so he can tug playfully on my peaked nipple. I moan loudly, enjoying every sensation but needing more desperately.

Feeling bold, I release Kellan’s hair and move my hand to Finn’s neck. I tug him away gently, then bring him in close, pressing a small kiss to his throat, before working my way around to his neck. I bite him harder than I meant to, but he moans out his pleasure anyway. I smooth my hands down to his waist, unbuttoning his pants and reach inside, finding the soft but rock hard object I was looking for. Finn hisses through his teeth, his head now resting on my shoulder.

“
Arms up,” Kellan whispers hotly in my ear.

I only pout for a moment as I have to let go of Finn to accomplish this. Kellan strips me of my shirt, my bra following shortly after. Both of his hands come up to cup me, and I reach for Finn again. I slide my hand the way I had with Reed, and to my delight, beads of moisture appear at the end as it had before. Kellan’s mouth works its way up the other side of my neck until he captures my lips again. Finn holds onto my waist like it’s a lifeline.

“
Mmm…I need you...” Finn groans before cutting off with a gasp of pleasure.

“
What do you need?” I manage between kisses with Kellan.

Finn drags his teeth over my bare shoulder before responding. “Your mouth, Kitten. I want your mouth.”

“
Oh.” I blink for a second after pulling away from Kellan. Have I been kissing his brother too long?

Kellan nips at my ear, reading my mind again. “That’s not what he means. Come lay down on the pillows.” He says before tugging me over to the pile of pillows where Big Jace sits.

I move to lay down, but Kellan holds my waist, stopping me. Instead, Finn sinks to his knees in front of Kellan and me and I follow. In an instant, Finn’s lips are on mine in a heated kiss, his hands palming my breasts before smoothing down my sides to my yoga pants. His fingers dip inside before I feel them sliding down. Kellan helps me get the over my knees and all the way off, my kiss with Finn never breaking.

I chase his pouty lips as repositions himself to sitting, then to laying on his back. Kellan’s hands smooth up and down my exposed back, from shoulder to hip, then back again. The next pass taking his hands down my bottom, one hand staying on my hip, the other using a finger to slick through my wetness.

“
Oh god, you’re so wet, Kitten.” He whispers hotly behind me. I push my hips back at him, wanting more, but not being able to voice it. His fingers continue to tease at me until I feel like punching him. Finally, he places his long, deft fingers at my entrance and plunges them into me, twisting on the way back out. I have to pull away from Finn to shout my approval of his twin’s actions. Kellan uses his thumb to play with my button as his fingers continue their maddening stroking.

“
Kitten.” Finn gets my attention. “Please, can I have your mouth?” His question boarding on a plea.

Some of the hazy lust leaves my body as I start to wonder if I’m doing something wrong. Does he mean kiss? Because Kellan said that’s not what he meant. Seemingly out of nowhere, images of some of the guys from the ice rink come to mind, leaning against lockers with their pants down and girls’ heads bobbing back and forth. Is this what he means? Oddly, the thought excites me. I slowly crawl back towards Kellan, keeping my eyes on Finn for signs of disapproval, but what I see are his eyes darkening before his head drops back with a prayer.

I tilt my head to the side as my face reaches between his legs, wondering exactly how this all works. I bring both hands to it and slide them back and forth, watching as more wet stuff comes out of the tip. I lose my concentration momentarily as Kellan uses his knees to part my legs wider and presses down on the middle of my back, firmly but gently.

“
Use your tongue, then take as much of him as you can into your mouth.” He says distractedly from behind me, his fingers parting me below. The slow slide of his tongue on my core almost causes me to collapse on top of Finn. He reaches out to my face, pushing his hand through my hair as I stare blankly, unseeing for several moments as his brother works his mouth over me, stealing my wits from me.

I remember that I’m supposed to be doing something and take the task in hand. Literally. I tentatively lick at the beads of moisture on Finn’s manhood, much like I would an ice cream cone. He seems to like it as he brings his head up to look at me, eyes at half mast, pillowy lips parted, his hand fisting in my hair.
