Mates with Triplets | book I | 18+ (complete - editing)

Chapter 40 | Leila

He took my lower lip in his mouth, biting it, then licking it to sooth the pain as I let out a low moan.  My hands reached around him so that I was playing with the hair at the nape of his neck as he started to pepper my face with kisses.

"Goddess, you're so beautiful," he groaned.

Remus started to kiss a path down from my jaw, down the column of my neck to my chest, pausing to smirk up at me.  Just as he lowered his head, there was a knock at the door, followed by it being opened by Luarentia.

He let out a loud groan, flopping onto his back as he covered his face while I quickly covered myself.  He drew his hands back down to send Luarentia a baleful look.  "What," he barked.  "We were busy!"

I gently placed my hand on his shoulder as I sent him a warning look before sending a smile to a frowning Luarentia, now dressed in a maid's outfit.  The frown quickly vanished when she saw me looking, a smile pasted there in it's stead.

"Your food is done," she murmured as she curtsied towards us.  "Where would you like it Alpha?"

"I'll tell you where---" he started before stopping as I cleared my throat.  He let out a long sigh as he slowly turned back to her.  "You can set it over there, on my desk," he muttered.

"Of course, Alpha," she smiled with a curtsey.  "Luna," she added after a brief pause.

She sashayed her way out of the room to retrieve the trays while Remus sat up before pulling me into his lap.  "We can finish after we're done eating, what do you say," he said quietly as he gently squeezed my sides.

"OF course my love," I said as I caressed the side of his face before pecking his jaw and turning back around in his lap just as Luarentia re-entered the bedroom.

"Your food," was all she said with a curtsey before she backed out of the room, eyes on the floor.  I saw that a slight smile teased her lips and was immediately happy that she was in a better mood.  I always hated to see anyone down.

"Luarentia," he called as he hugged me closer to himself and nuzzled my neck, sending tingles racing throughout my body.

She paused, briefly looking up at us through her lashes.  "Yes my Alpha?"

"You may bring the food over to my side table," he said as I pinched his arm lightly.  "And...and I'm sorry if I was a bit brusque with you earlier," he sighed.

'Happy,' he mind-linked me.

My eyes widened in surprise - I had forgotten that we could communicate like this.  I settled back into him as I purred 'Very' back to him.

'Good,' he sighed.  'I can't have my Luna unhappy with me,' which caused me to grin up at him before a throat clearing interrupted us.

"If that will be all my Alpha, Luna," she murmured before once more curtseying, holding the pose as she waited for Remus to respond.

"Yes, yes, that will be all," Remus said as he waved a dismissive hand her way.  "You may leave now."

She curtseyed deeper still before once more backing out of the room, eyes never leaving the floor before gently shutting the door behind her.

"Hungry, baby," Remus asked as he picked up the silver tray  with red and white rose petals covering it.  He picked up the two golden plates, before handing me once with golden-brown pancakes studded with berries and drizzled with honey, scrambled eggs, bacon and toast, as well a a jeweled goblet full of cherry juice.

He carefully lifted me off of his lap and set me down beside him before getting up and lifting the crystal vase full of red roses and baby's breath and heading over to the opposite side of the bed to set it where it could better catch the light from the large window.

He plucked a single rose from the boquet before crawling over the bed back towards me.  "Here love," he said as he tucked it into the mass of dark curls that were everywhere.  "Beautiful," he said as he sat on his haunches and seemed to take me in for a moment.

He leaned in and pressed a lingering kiss to my forehead before hopping off of the bed and making his way back to his side as I picked up a gold fork and knife and began to dig into my food.

"What did you get," I mumbled through a mouthful of pancakes as I glanced at his plate.

"My favorite - bacon, scrambled eggs, a bagel, sausage links and oatmeal."  My eyes widened at that.  "Where do you put it all," I blurted as I stared at the plate, then him, in wonder.

"I'm a werewolf," he said slowly.

I simply stared at him, then once more at the steaming mountain of food.  "I'm a werewolf and I'm not sure I could finish half of that," I said.

"You are too thin," he said?  Agreed?

I rolled my eyes at him.  "I never said that I thought I was too thin."

"You are if you're going to carry our pups," he said absently as he gulped down some orange juice before eagerly eyeing his plate from next to me.

"Who said anything about me having pups yet," I demanded.  "I literally just turned eighteen," I said as I put my fork and knife down before patting my mouth and turning my attention to him.

"It's part of a Luna's job description," he managed around a mouthful of sausage links.

"Would you like for me to wait for my mates to get back from a long day at the office with their food as well,": I asked sweetly.  "Should I be barefoot in the kitchen right now?"

"Don't be silly," he said as he swallowed his food before finishing off the last of his sausage before eyeing his eggs next.  He set his utensils down and put the plate on his bedside with a sigh before turning to me.

"I never said that I thought that you had to have our pups now, none of us think that.  Once you go into heat again, it won't stop until your pregnant though.  Didn't anyone ever discuss any of this with you," he asked with furrowed brows.

I looked at him with my hand to my mouth, food long forgotten.

"Come on, let's finish, shall we," he said gently.  "We can't finish discussing this when you're full."

I slowly nodded as I picked up my utensils, starting on my pancakes once more.  He was right, it was better if we discussed it after we had eaten.  My stomach ached at how empty it felt.

We could discus this later.
