Althena Book 2

11. Better

I get up to go pee in the middle of the night and Cyrus is outside the bathroom. I pull down on my t-shirt to make sure I'm covered.

He only has sleep pants on. He's so sexy. My eyes must linger on his chest for too long. When I make eye contact with him, he smirks and steps against me. His lips touch mine and the tingles are so strong, they make me shiver.

He lifts me, then sits me on the bathroom counter. I pull him against me and kiss his neck.

He pulls my shirt over my head and kisses my boobs. "You are so damn sexy, woman."

"I want you." I push his pants down.

My eyes shoot open. What the hell was that? I wiggle around, and I'm in bed with Mike. That was weird. I can tell I'm wet. I don't know what is going on.

"What's wrong, babygirl?"

I plop my head on his chest and cry.

He rubs my back and checks his phone. "It's 3 in the morning, baby. Did you have a bad dream?"

"I keep dreaming about s*x. I can't sleep. I'm tired."

"It's alright." He kisses my head. "You're in heat, baby."

"What do I do?"

He rolls us over and gives me a sweet kiss. "I'll fix it."

"I don't want to get pregnant."

"Birth control prevents that. But I'll wear a condom to be safe. Then you'll be able to sleep." His hand slides up my side and over my boob.

I pull him closer. "I need you."

He kisses me again. "Then you'll have me." Then he presses his d**k against me. "He's yours, baby."

The feeling of him naked in my arms is driving me more crazy than normal. I pull him in for a deep kiss and rub against it. I know I'm wet, I feel his hard d**k sliding against me. I need that.

He sits up on his knees between my legs and reaches into the nightstand. "I'll take care of you, baby."

I wiggle out of my t-shirt without getting up. I need him against my skin. I hear the tear of the condom wrapper and shiver. "Mine."

"All yours." He rubs it against me and starts to slide inside. I breathe in sharply, and he moans low into my ear. "So good, babygirl." His hips move closer, and I slowly take him into me.

My back arches and I push my boobs against him.

He pulls back, and I wrap my legs around him. I pull him all the way into me again. I get one hand into his hair and rub his back with my other one. I pull his lips to mine and kiss him while he makes love to me deep and easy.

The pleasure builds so fast. I cry out sounds of pleasure, and he moans between kisses.

After minutes or hours, my back arches and the pleasure takes over. I scream, "MIKE" and hold him so tight as my p***y clamps down on his d**k. Pleasure radiates through me.

I feel him start throbbing in me at the same time. His movements are jerky, but he keeps it deep inside me. He holds me tightly. "I love you."

My whole body relaxes as I come out of it. "I love you too."

I hear the condom drop into the trash can, and he rolls me on top of him. I'm asleep before either of us say anything else.

We wake up with his alarm and make love again. Then we go down for breakfast. I straddle him on his chair and snuggle against his chest.

Drogon comes in and gets some food. "What's wrong?"

Mike drinks his coffee like I'm not snuggling him to death. "She's in heat and didn't get enough sleep."

He chuckles. "Did you?"

He smirks and kisses my head. "I'm alright."

Conner and Cyrus come in next. Conner's ready for school. "Is she not going?"

"No. She's in heat. I'm going to stay with her today." Mike tries to eat, but I try to hide in his chest.

"Aww." Conner winks at me. "You want me to stay home with you?"

Drogon rolls his eyes. "She doesn't need you to stay home. Come here and let him eat." He picks me up and I snuggle him instead.

Conner shakes his head. "I thought birth control got rid of it?"

"No." Drogon sorts himself out and gets us seated. "It lightens the effects and prevents her from getting pregnant, but it doesn't get rid of it completely. She'll be alright."

Mike nods. "It's new for her. A few naps and she'll be fine."

"How long will it last? Can she be around other guys?" Conner grabs a cinnamon roll. "I can't even tell. I thought you said her scent would change?"

Cyrus laughs. "It did change. Yesterday."

Mike nods. "It's subtle. Unless someone is paying attention and around her constantly, they're not going to notice."

Drogon kisses my head. "The shot did help. The scent isn't strong enough to lure anyone or make us crazy. We'll be fine. Honestly, she would be fine going to school. But I think she's too sleepy and vulnerable. And it'll only last a day or two. The shot shortens it."

Conner kisses my head and smells me. "I guess it did change. You smell so good, baby. I want to snuggle you too."

I giggle. "I lure for snuggles."

He smiles and kisses my head again. "I'll give you snuggles when I get home. I need to get out of here."

"Ok. I love you."

"Love you too, baby."

I snuggle against Drogon's chest and steal a bite of his ham.

Cyrus sits back. "We're not going anywhere are we?"

My boys laugh and I watch Cyrus. I don't know why I was dreaming about him like that. He is sexy though. His chest and shoulders. I remember his rock hard body. His hands on me. His lips against mine. I jump a little when my eyes meet his. He was watching me check him out. I turn and face the other way while I snuggle Drogon.

Mike, Drogon, and Cyrus stay in the house all day. I don't get more than an arms length away from Mike or Drogon. I have no idea why I'm so snuggly. Drogon gives me more d**k after lunch, then we take a nap. We come back downstairs at 3:30 and Clayton is coming in.

"I went to the meeting you planned, and you never went in today. None of you did."

Mike nods. "We needed a day off."

"Me too. I guess I'll take mine tomorrow." He plops onto the couch.

I sit on Mike's lap and Drogon starts a movie. I think I last 10 minutes before I fall asleep.

"Is this what you people did today?" Conner is standing in the middle of the floor with his arms crossed.

I glance around and we were all sleeping. Even Clayton is stretching.

Cyrus stands up and stretches. "Blame Drogon. He picked a boring movie."

"I'm staying with her tomorrow. You can all go f**k off somewhere. Oh yea, Lila's here. I think she's in the kitchen."

Mike laughs. "Why?"

"She said she was thirsty. I told her that she knows where the kitchen is." He sits in one of the chairs and rubs his face.

I crack up laughing.

"HELLO?"

"IN HERE."

Lila comes in with a bunch of booklets, papers, and a glass. "I got side tracked and then lost. I brought your papers for the fundraiser. Move, I'm not sitting on him with you."

I get up and we move to another couch. "Fine."

"We're selling stuff. It doesn't matter. Check out the prizes. We have to get to this one. It's a 3-day cheerleading camp at Silver View University. They have the best cheer program."

"How many do we need to sell to do that?"

"5,000 items."

"What else can we get?" I go back to the prizes page.

"You get prizes based on your sales. If you sell 50 you get the hair tie and ribbon set."

"I get it. 200 gets a t-shirt. I like that bag. I like how everything says cheer on it."

"It's done in our colors too. Everyone will know who we cheer for."

Mike pokes his head in the living room. "Come and eat, girls."

We take our stuff to the table and keep pointing out stuff to each other.

"What are you doing?"

"We're selling stuff for cheerleading."

"Why?"

"There's a competition, and we need to make money before we can go."

"How much?" Drogon puts some food on a plate for me. "I can donate to it."

"I have to get the prizes for selling stuff." I give him a dirty look.

He cracks up laughing. "What prize do you want?"

"It's a 3-day cheerleading camp at Silver View University."

Lila jumps up and shoves the paper at him. "They have the best cheer program in Darkburn. The only way to get into this camp is through a fundraiser. We have to do this."

Mike smiles. "How many items do you have to sell to go?"

"5,000 each."

All of them crack up laughing. Cyrus pulls it together first. "What are you selling?"

"Cookies." I give him my paper before Lila gets hers to him.

My boys laugh harder and Clayton takes Lila's.

She smiles. "It's cookies. Do you like cookies?"

"Some of these do look good." Clayton tries not to laugh. "How much are they?"

"$5 a box."

"$25,000 for 5,000 boxes. You did say you would make a donation, Drogon."

Drogon nods. "Darkmoon is about to get a s**t ton of cookies."

Cyrus smirks. "Next year's holiday bonus."

Drogon takes my order form and fills it out while Clayton fills out Lila's form. "I'll write you a check."

Clayton laughs. "Write Lila one too."

"You can do that?" Lila stares at Drogon.

"Yes. It's Darkmoons account."

Conner smirks. "You're welcome, girls."

Mike and Cyrus lose it.

Lila smiles at me. "So, we only need the online prizes now."

"What are those?"

"That's the duffel bag you want. We have to sell 250 boxes online to get that."

I pull out the paper. "Oh, I get it. 100 for the water bottle. 250 for the matching bag." I look at Mike and put my bottom lip out.

He about falls off his chair laughing.

Cyrus takes both our papers for the online stuff. "Darkmoon doesn't need any more cookies. I'll send those to my brothers."

"So, that's it for this fundraiser. The next one is..." She pulls more papers out of her folder.

The boys say, "Ugh." at the same time.

Mike nods. "But we can't just make a donation and end this."

"We're going to wash cars. People will bring their cars to our car wash. Then they donate money for our competition." She smiles at Mike. "I guess you could donate there."

"No way in hell a bunch of teenagers are touching my car."

She puts her hands on her hips. "We'll be in bikini's."

Cyrus looks at me so quickly and keeps typing.

Clayton nods. "I'll buy a cheap car. They can wash it."

"Oh shit... I typed bikini in the name line." Cyrus hits the delete button a bunch.

"The next one is at a carnival. We're going to be face painting. She said she would see about adding more after that. She wants to see how these go."

Mike smirks. "Maybe we can prevent more from happening."

"That would save Darkmoon money in the long run."

"They each have 250 boxes sold online, and my brothers are about to have a lot of cookies."

"Thank you." We smile at him.

"No problem." He tries to smile but seems sad.

I think he needs a cuddle too. Then I scratch my head. What the f**k is wrong with me?

"Are you going to school tomorrow?"

"No. I want another day home."

She nods. "I'll give all this to Tadita. Have fun with your heat."

"CONNER. YOU TOLD."

"I DIDN'T SAY A WORD."

"Your scent is different. He didn't say anything."

"Ok."

"Be careful with the checks, Lila."

"I will. Thank you." She takes them from Drogon and leaves.

Conner crosses his arms. "I'm staying with her tomorrow. You assholes sent me to school then sat with her all day. Tomorrow is my turn."

"She needs to go back to school." Drogon shakes his head.

I dive on Conner and snuggle him.

He wraps his arms around me. "That's better."
