“Go to bed Emma. Don’t worry about anything it’ll all be better in the morning.” The pack mom was so warm and unlike the other woman I had previously known. I nodded and headed for the stairs. The smell of Ashton’s shirt made me feel warm and comfortable inside I was ready for bed.
As I accented the stair case I was considering the possibility of what the doctor had been telling me it sounded crazy, but what did I know? I’m no doctor.
At the time night of the stairs were quiet and the smells were even more intense than the shirt had been. I couldn’t help myself I crept into Ashton’s room, it was huge I had never seen the inside of their rooms before. He had a massive bed and and even bigger bathroom with a shower AND a huge garden tub with jets. The room was amazing and his scent was every where it was so hard for me not to touch anything. I wasn’t sure how this whole scent thing worked yet and I didn’t wanna leave too much of my own scent behind. He might not mind me borrowing his clothes but he might hate me in his room. I slipped back into the hallway but only for a minute.
I was curious to see if Dom’s room was any different. They were about the same size but smelled totally different. This room smelled more of deep rich earthy scents. It made me smile, and my wolf whined for me to lay on the bed and curl up in the sheets. I shushed her the best I could, she kept fighting back. I didn’t explore this room the way I had Ashton’s. I wasn’t really scared of him but Dom had always been mean to me and it worried me to even be standing here right now. My wolf urged me to take a few more small steps near the bed and I was slowly losing control of her. I did as she begged me to do I walked to the bed and smelled.
The rich scent of Dom made me sleepy because I was wearing Ashton’s clothes I could smell them both and it was so comforting like I was finally safe. Before I could stop myself I was burying my face in the pillows and yawning even more. My wolf begged for me to lay down and so I thought maybe just for a second. I laid down cuddled with the pillows and blankets that all smelled so good and the smell of Ashton made the deep scents a little sweet.
I was sleeping before I knew it out like a light, I had never been so comfortable in my life. The lights came on in the hallway and leaked into the room but I rolled away from it and it eventually went away. I had heard some noise coming from across the hall but I didn’t care, I didn’t even care about how much trouble I would be in when Dom found me.
Warm yellow light soon flooded the room and I hid my face away from it. Maybe if he couldn’t see me he wouldn’t say anything. I heard him leave as quickly as the light had turned on. He was only gone for a second and I could hear another set of footsteps following him, all I could do was play dead and hope for the best.
I heard some whispers over by the door but no yelling or shouting. The yellow light soon shut off and I could hear that the people had entered the room and shut the door I knew there was at least two. But I was half asleep and had my face buried in the blankets so I couldn’t smell them to tell if it was both twins or just Dom. I could hear clothing falling to the floor it was an almost silent sound that if I hadn’t had my wolf I wouldn’t have heard it. She was listening closer than I was to tell me what to do.
I felt the covers being peeled back from behind me and the bed jiggle ever so slightly. I could feel him scooting closer to me and then I felt his warm hand around my waist gently pulling me to him. As soon as his hand touched me I knew it was one of the twins it set of electric shocks all over my body and my wolf howled in delight. He was wrapped around me in no time and from his scent I knew it was Dom. He knew I was in his bed and he didn’t care further more he was holding me and he was so warm. Shortly after he got comfortable behind me the covers in front of me started to rustle and move backwards I felt someone else getting in bed with us. I knew from the second I felt the bed jiggle I could smell the honey, it was Ashton. He cuddled right up to me so that my face rested on his bare chest and he placed his hand on my hip and his face was buried in my hair.
My wolf was going wild at this point begging me to show them I was awake and let them have their way with me, but some part of me was still scared so I lay still and enjoyed the warmth. I let their body heat soothe the pain that raided from my belly and out my back. It was slowly melting away this was better than laying in this bed alone. I knew that at this moment they were mine and I was meant for them but was I okay with that? I would be Ashton’s mate in a heartbeat but could I be Dom’s?He was always so mean to me through the years can I forgive him?
The better question was should I forgive him, my wolf didn’t like the questions I was asking myself she wanted me to kiss Ashton’s chest, listening to his heart beat was the best sound I had ever heard. I wondered what they were thinking and if they had fallen asleep yet. I started worrying about embarrassing myself what if I talked in my sleep and never knew it? Or worse I drool all over Ashton’s chest? What if I pass gas in the night and wake them up? I had never slept with anybody before and never really paid attention if I snored, of drooled, sleep talked or anything. I also had never been this comfortable in a long time.
My bed in the attic didn’t actually qualify as a bed. It was old blankets and pillows on the hardwood floor. I had no windows up there and it was hot in the summer and brutal in the winter. I had enough room to stand up and dress that was all. I had a small tote full of clothes that also served as a night stand that held my favorite picture of my mother and I. I looked at it every night and talked to her like she was sitting next to me. I felt a warm tear slip down my cheek as I thought about that. I hoped that on Sunday I was still allowed to go see her.
I could feel sleep coming once the body heat had melted all the pain away, I counted Ashton’s heart beats and I think I only got to a one hundred before falling asleep.
