Moon Dancer - Hidden Wolf 1

62 Grayson

I pout at Ares as he walks towards the cabinets. Jagger and Ryker take seats on either side of me, each immediately reserving one hand to touch me.

Ares starts setting plates down on the counter. Finn takes up the spot at the head of the island, resting his head on his knuckles, an amused smile playing on his face as he watches me.

I squeeze Ryker's hand as I smile back at Finn, Jagger's fingers nestled securely between my thighs.

As Ares places the plate of steak, roast potatoes and asparagus in front of me, I'm salivating so much I don't even realize I'm crying until a tear falls onto my hand. "Thank you." I sniffle, my smile wobbly.

Ryker and Jagger simultaneously tighten their hold on me.

"I've just never had..." I start, wiping my tears away.

"I know baby girl." Ares purrs. "Eat what you can, don't overdo it. Your stomach isn't used to it."

"Thank you." I say again, wanting and failing to express my gratitude.

Ares flicks his eyes to the food. "Eat. That's how you can thank me."

I nod, and pick up the fork. Ares sets the others' plates down before taking the spot between Finn and Ryker.

The boys have huge steaks on their plates, but I notice that Ares had the thoughtfulness to cut mine for me. I slowly raise a piece to my lips, and close my eyes as I bite into the perfectly seared and juicy meat. I moan softly, closing my eyes to savor it.

Jagger kisses my temple before digging into his own food. "Eat up little wolf."

I try the potatoes and the asparagus, each delicious and nothing like I ever had before. I only manage a few bites, but everything is so rich and flavorful that I can't help but feel full.

Ares is eyeing my plate and reading me like a book. "How much did she eat this morning?" He asks.

"A slice of french toast and a bite of everything else." Finn says and gives me a wink. "Right princess? You enjoyed that quiche. It was amazing, really Ares."

I nod. "It was."

Ares shoulders lift as a soft smile spreads across his face. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. You did good little wolf. Don't force yourself to eat anymore."

I smile in contentment. "Thank you. Everything was delicious."

"Some of that thanks should go to Ry." Jagger says as he swallows a big mouthful of food.

Ryker looks at me with a sheepish grin.

"This is from your garden?" I ask looking at the vegetables on my plate. Ryker nods and I smile at him. "No wonder they taste so good."

Ry groans and leans forward to plant a kiss on my mouth. "They don't taste nearly as good as you, sparks."

I flush and place a hand on his thigh. We settle into a peaceful rhythm, Jagger taking a huge bite and while he chews, he rubs his palm up and down my thigh. I relax back into the stool, my belly happy and full from the delicious meal. Finn was right. I was already looking forward to what Ares made for me next.

Leaning my head onto Ry's shoulder, I only half pay attention to their conversation.

Jagger squeezes my thigh as I stifle a yawn. My body still felt so heavy and deliciously sore from earlier.

"-will be dealt with. Moonstone won't be on their radar." Ryker was saying.

"You're missing the point." Ares says. "If there's so much as a whisper of any trouble, they won't hesitate to send them in."
