We were all hanging out in the apartment when Mitchell knocked. He was packing in three crates and set them on the floor. “What’s all this?” Matthew asked.
“Well it looks like some of your pack were hard at work and wanted to send up some stuff to make it feel more like home again. Seriously guys, what is with the women and mates in your pack. That shi.t is heavy. Are they trying to make you all fat?” He laughed “Of course I can’t complain they sent some for us too. Well, I guess for me, seems my Beta got his own crate from his girl.” Mitchell said with a confused look.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Matthew asked.
“Well I guess she called him all hyped up about sending him a surprise so when I arrived he was waiting as I brought the crates up he kind of looked confused and a little disappointed that his was different. She called while I was unloading and from what I gather she wanted to send him something not from other women. He seemed happy after that, I think. Odd but anyway, you guys enjoy yourselves and we will catch you all later tonight. Jamison still making your famous pancakes tomorrow?” Mitchell asked.
“Hell, yes! We have to start our week off right.” Jamison shouted.
After Mitchell left, we all dug into our crates. Seriously, they were not messing around. Fresh cookies, I know those were all Sophie's doing. Mrs. Lamont our pack cook made her fresh-baked pastries. Of course, Zy threw in her truffles, there was freshly made jerky and lots of other goodies. Mitchell might be right I think they are trying to fatten us up. I finished looking through all the goodies and went into my room to call Zy, it’s always fun to hear her laugh and I needed to thank her. She shifted during the conversation and there went all the conversation. I could see the outline of her breasts and perky n*****s right through the tank top she was wearing. She moved again, and that top dipped low. Timber was no help with his comments about asking her to take her top off and explaining every single fantasy we had. After the third time he tried to surface in the conversation, I had to cut it short and try to go focus on something else. She had become an obsession of mine for the last two years. I tried to keep my distance, but my mind would always come back to her, my Sunshine.
I went out to the common room after calming down. A few guys had come over to hang out at our apartment, some of the guys were playing poker at the kitchen table, and a few were watching a movie. I sat down with Matthew, he asked if I wanted to deal in. I asked for the buy in and he said they were playing for cookies. I told him it was too rich for my blood and sat back to watch. Joseph was taking the game more seriously compared to the others, seems he wanted some of Sophie's cookies pretty badly. We sat around joking until my phone pinged with a message.
"Look what you did Timber, little Sunshine thinks we are mad at her." I scolded him
"She wouldn’t think that if you had taken my suggestion," he huffed.
Partially through the text conversation with her, a photo came in that had me shooting to my feet and exiting the common room quickly.
“You alright man?” Matthew called out.
“Yup, something unexpected just came up. I’ll be back” I told him while retreating quickly to my room. By the time the second picture came through I was lost in every dark fantasy I have had about Zy for the past two years since our little beach encounter.
“Timber, is this really happening?” I asked him.
“We are going to make little Sunshine our mate” he replied.
"Don’t you want to wait for your Goddess gifted Mate? I know Zy cannot shift. Would you feel that you are missing out?" I asked him.
"No little sunshine is all I want. Besides, she already loves me, I'm her fluffy bear." he laughed.
"What about the vision of the future we had from the Moon Goddess?" I asked him.
“Never saw the actual girl, it could have been little Sunshine, she was taunting us in human form in the vision. Maybe it was because she can’t shift” He replied with a snort like I was arguing with him.
“Ok, let’s see how this goes. We won’t know until the full moon if she is our second chance, but she started it so let’s see where this goes.” I replied, Timber’s laughter bubbled through. Most Bears are quiet shifters but with my wolf blood Timber is more vocal and talkative, sometimes too much.
I finally messaged back after taking another look at the picture. I think this will be my favorite photo of all time.
Me ‘Little Sunshine, I hope you can cash in on what you have started here. One of these weekends we will cross paths, and you are all mine.'
Zy ‘I look forward to it’
Me ‘Alright, Sunshine get some rest, you are going to need all of your energy for when I see you beautiful.'
Zy ‘Will do, and I’ll think of you the whole time, have a goodnight’ she ended the text with a heart. Isn't she just adorable?
So, not how I was expecting my evening to go, but snacks and two hot pictures of my fantasy girl I will take it. I returned to the living room area and sat back down by Matthew. They were all still full in playing Poker. Looked like Joseph was finally able to snag some cookies, he seemed pretty happy.
“You ran out of here like your a.ss was on fire. Is everything ok?” Matthew asked.
“Yeah, just had a little game startup.” I looked at him and ginned flashing him my phone with the second pic Zy had sent to me. Shifters are very s****l creatures; Matthew and I were as close as brothers and had even shared women before, so he knows more about me than anyone else. I would never show him anything more risqué of my Sunshine but this got the point across.
Matthew choked on his Beer at the glimpse of the photo I showed him. “Holy Sh.it! Did you know that was coming? I know what this means to you,” Matthew finally said as he gained his composure.
“Not a clue and, for the record, I did not start this Sunshine did," I said with a splitting grin on my face. "Get back to your game. Don’t need you being distracted making our pack look bad here” I laughed relaxing for the rest of the evening, enjoying everyone’s good mood.
Sleep finally came that night, and we were up getting ready before we knew it. I could already smell the pancakes Jamison was cooking. I knew The Forrest Moon Pack guys were probably already here or on their way. We tried to stay friendly with them, to promote being strong Allies since our packs were close. There was something about Mitchell that rubbed me the wrong way, I could never put my finger on it. They worked well with us so that is all I had to go on for now.
As I stepped into the Kitchen, I noticed most were already at the table. Jamison looks at me with a sh.it eating grin “So you and Sunshine finally! You know we all had bets this was coming. Your dad is even in on it.” He laughed.
“When the hell did this happen?!” I exclaimed.
“Two years ago.” Both Jamison and Matthew replied at the same time while laughing.
“Well hell, you all could have let me in on all of this,” I said while stacking pancakes on my plate.
“Hold up! Are you telling me there is an actual woman to tame the stallion here?” Mitchell asked.
“Afraid it’s true, if this works out, I’m off the market lads. No more wingman. No more Maverick and Goose, no more Bert and Ernie” I laughed while dousing my pancakes in wild berry syrup that Sunshine was sweet enough to send to us. The other guys followed suit ignoring the regular syrup much to my dismay.
"You are so weird, how you manage to pull so many women I will never understand." Matthew laughed at me.
"Best kept secrets." I retorted.
“This is amazing, where did you get it” Joseph said motioning to the syrup bottle.
“Oh, Big Nicks Sunshine here makes it” Matthew said slapping me on the back.
“Hell, I would make her my mate too just for this” Joseph said.
Matthew had a strange expression, but we were all too busy eating, ready to get these final weeks over for me to question it.
