The Mated Four

An Epiphany

Jace P.O.V.

My breath got jagged when our lips met, soft and firm just as I'd expected. Why did she have to pull away so soon? The few seconds of contact between us wasn't nearly enough for me after weeks of pent-up tension of not being able to be with her. Sparks erupted all over me when she pulled me in like that, I strangely feel complete now after I got to kiss all of my mates.

I thought she'd be mad at me, mad that I blew up at her when she was in so much pain. Fuck she got hexed and just when she deserved to be cared for, I had an outburst directed towards her and she didn't even say anything. 

I stood fazed in front of her after she kissed me, feeling on cloud-9, wanting this moment to last forever.

I hesitantly put my hand up to her cheek and looked deep into her russet orbs, and said "I shouldn't have said any of that, I'm so sorry Cami" with deep regret in my voice. Cami said nothing, just smiled and nodded at me, accepting my apology thankfully. 

When she accepted my apology, it finally put a rest to Tytus's incessant whining about her being mad at us. "Stupid Beta", he still said as a final taunt.

Cami then swung her feet off the bed and attempted to get up just before Grey burst in through the door, smashing the wall across with it. He was half-naked so he must've just shifted out of his Victor. Beads of sweat dripped down his naked toned body, down his abs, and disappearing into the hemline of his shorts.

Tytus and I were having the time of our lives staring at our naked mate, panting and desperate to see Cami right now.  

"Cami, does it still hurt?", he asked her in an anxious tone, as he walked up to the bed she was almost off of. 

"No, not anymore", she replied while maintaining deep eye contact with him. As Grey's eyes scanned her for any other injuries, I and Ella were having an eye-candy fiesta staring at him. I looked over to Ella who stood awe-struck looking at him with her lips slightly parted.

Grey captured both of Cami's hands with his own and said with a sigh of relief, "You sure nothing at all? it must've been hell with your rank and the pain". 

"It hurt, but now I'm fine Grey, I promise", she said with a smile of conviction. Her eyes then fell to me and Ella, who was still deep in a trance of staring at our mate; when she saw us staring at half-naked Grey so deeply, a look of amusement appeared on her face followed by a light chuckle. 

"Take a picture, it'll last longer", said Grey huskily with amusement lacing his tone. Shit, how'd he know- he didn't even turn around. 

That broke Ella out of her trance who then started to blush and buried her face in my chest out of embarrassment of getting caught ogling at Grey. ADORABLE.

Grey then turned around to face us and began to look at us with such intensity that it could've burned holes into me. He then emitted a dark chuckle, followed by saying "What? I didn't say stop. I'm am all yours to look at". 

I swear I saw Cami ogle at him too when he was turned around, then let out an impressed hmph after feeling good about what she saw; but would she do that? Probably just my imagination.

 "By all means continue the staring fest, but I gotta go take a shower", said Cami who gently got off the bed, taking a minute to regain her balance as the blood flowed in her legs that'd remained still for three days. She then swiftly left for the bathroom attached to her room and as soon as I heard the shower turn on I jumped on Grey.

"Grey, she kissed me", I squeaked out as he caught my flying self in his arms. I looked upwards at him as a big smile escaped his lips, he said "She did? I'm so glad pup" in a deep-deep voice that sounded even deeper than usual because of how tired he was. HOT.
