Chapter 30- Parents

Sorry it's been a while guys. I've been having a hard time in my life. Just struggles with work, my mom getting arrest, and my dog that I've had since I was 9 passed away last month. I haven't been feeling like myself. I'm hoping writing will get me feeling better again though.-A.B.

Theo's POV

Things had been changing, but in the best ways possible.

I couldn't have imagined what it would be like to be the mates of four Callistans, but to put it bluntly, it rocks. I was hesitant at first when agreeing to the mating. I knew nothing about sex and dating when I came here, let alone what "mates" and "bonds" and "pheromones" all had to do with it, but I learned quickly I had nothing to be afraid of, only to enjoy. Each brother approaches me differently, but all seemed to have reached some agreement about how far they are allowed to take things for now. Kissing, gentle caressing, and all these cuddles would have sent innocent me from a few months ago into a coma, but knowing that they are all meant for me and that they truly do love me made it all feel right. Well, at the beginning, at least.

I knew the brothers wouldn't do things that would take it to quickly for me, but can we pick things up a bit? I understand them wanting to be gentle, but all this softness feels like way too much foreplay at this point. If this keeps going on for much longer, I feel like I'm going to vibrate out of my skin. And I know they knew it too. It took much more coercing and begging then I'd like to admit, but I finally got Zek and Nadi to step things up last night.
A few things got finished, but unfortunately, none of them were the bond. I'm not gunna lie though, if what I enjoyed last night was step one of serious intimacy, I'm going to be a happy man the rest of my life.

And then I started thinking, if that's what Zek and Nadi do to start, I can only imagine what Mal and Vel would do, especially if they knew that the other two got to do something first. I can only imagine that if this comes to a competition between the duos, I'll be the one coming out on top.

I'm not proud of my plan, or my blatant horniness, but I've changed, and I don't plan on going back anytime soon.

With my plan all set up, I need to find the targets.

A quick look through the main hall and I find them in one of the rooms. I go in planning to seduce and destroy, but I quickly come up short seeing a man who appears in nightmares more times than I care to admit.

Almost human, but so clearly not. The paleness of all his features, the sharp cut of his jaw, the horrible points of his teeth.

"Why are you looking at him?" I felt the quiver in my voice as I ask the question, all the boldness I had walking into the room seeping out of me. Thoughts racing on why that man could be in the screen. If he's on the screen they're talking about him. If they're taking about him that means he did something. What if he tried to break in? What if he wanted to take me? Or worse, what if he paid for me and has some kind of claim on me? What if-

"Theo!"

My name being yelled by two men brought me back to myself. Mal and Vel with standing right in front of me, waiting for me to answer them.

"S-sorry, I just, I know that man, h-he was there." Damnit, I haven't stuttered like this in forever. All it takes is one pictures and I'm shy and annoying all over again.

"It's okay, we understand." Mal says, rubbing his hand up and down by arm to soothe me, "I apologize, we should have locked the door since we are discussing.. sensitive material."

"I'm sorry, I should have knocked first before just coming in. What kind of sensitive material? I can leave if you need me to." I said, my plan suddenly feeling silly.
