11. Griffin

- Sting—We’llBe Together-

It’s hard to be gentle with my mate when my brothers and Barrett are screaming in my head about being careful with her. I slide into her welcoming depths and stop moving when I bottom out. Grace is gently petting my face and watching me closely. I’ve never been this gentle with her, and I know it’s throwing her off.

Reverently, I sip at her lips as my right hand slides down her body to hitch her left leg up and over my hip. Slow, drawn out thrusts drag every inch of me through her depths. It’s a unique feeling going this slowly. I feel every flutter of her core and feel her reaction more intensely.

“Griff, this is intense … I feel you everywhere.” Her voice is pure ecstasy, and it makes my wolf puff up with pride.

“Shhhh … enjoy it, baby girl. It’s all about you right now.” I nibble at her jaw as I slowly push my knot against her entrance, not ready to drive it home just yet.

I slide my hand from her thigh back up and lean on my elbow to play with her nipple as I take my time fucking her. With every slip and slide, I’m pushing myself closer to the edge. I feel her core tightening around me and I pull out. Sliding down her body, I lick every inch. Stopping at her breasts, I suck each nipple into my mouth and suck hard, flicking my tongue over the tips.

“Griff, I need you … Please…” Her whine almost forces me to comply, but I fight against instinct.

“I know baby girl … A little more, I’ll make the wait worth it, I promise.” Slowly I trail kisses down her body until I get to the apex of her thighs. Her clit is engorged and her lips almost purple, begging me to fuck her hard. But not yet.

Grace is watching me intently as I stick my index and middle fingers in my mouth before I slide them deep into her, curling my fingers up. Sliding my fingers in and out of her, I do the come here motion, rubbing the top of her core, hitting the g-spot, teasing it.

“Griff please … I need to cum, I’m aching so bad for you…” Her whine almost broke me.

Being a tease, I pull my fingers out and start stroking my cock, letting her watch as I jerk off just enough to start leaking again. Grace shocks me and curls up and takes the head of my dick into her mouth and starts sucking it. I thrust into her mouth several times, blocking my knot from hitting her lips. This isn’t about me.

“As much as I want to keep fucking your mouth, I’d rather cum in you. Hands and knees Grace.” She releases my cock quickly, then scrambles to assume the position. She wiggles her ass in the air and I watch her juices run down her legs. I can’t help myself. I drop to all fours and run my tongue through her folds, lapping up the sweet nectar. The tip of my tongue teases her clit before sinking into her channel. I want her to come once before I sink into her. Slowly, I slide my hand down and run my fingers over her clit. Using my tongue, I fuck her until she finally tips over the edge and screams my name. A gush of fluid hits my face and drips down my chin. I slow down the teasing on her clit before I pull away and kneel behind her.

Without warning, I slide my length in until my knot hits her opening. My short quick thrusts prolong her orgasm and she’s practically tearing my sheets. I can’t hold out much longer and finally sink my knot into her and cum the hardest I ever have in my life. Screaming, I feel as though my soul has left my body with every pulse of my cock. My whole body is tense as I hold myself seated deep within her. Eventually the pulses slow down and I feel my knot start to deflate.

Grace lays down and I fall free from her welcoming depths and head to the bathroom. After Barrett’s two hour after care lecture he gave all of us, I know he will ask her later if I took care of her. I grab three of the softest wash cloths I have, a washbasin, and a soft towel. Filling the wash basin with warm water, lavender essential oil, and a touch of baby soap, I return to the bed to a sleeping Grace. Carefully, I lift her leg and blot her nether region with the damp cloth, not wanting to rub in case she’s sore. Once I’m absolutely sure she’s clean, I take the towel and blot her dry. I decided that if there’s leakage I would just leave the soft dry towel between her legs.

On the chair in the corner of my room is one of Grace’s favorite blankets, so I throw it over her and leave a bottle of water right next to her. I figure I’ll step out for a moment, grab something to eat, then return to lie next to her. Passing my dresser, I grab a pair of black sweats and a tee shirt before leaving the room. I make it back into the main part of the house in time for the guys to be delivering the hospital bed and other supplies for Nic to be brought here tomorrow.

“How’s Grace?” Conrad arches a brow, looking at me as his nostrils flair. He knows exactly how Grace is. He can obviously smell it on me.

“Content and sleeping. Is everything here?” I hike my thumb down the hallway, gesturing towards the things being delivered.

“Looks that way.” He tilts his head to the side and looks down for a moment. “We have to be careful how we go from here. We can’t favor a gender or it may re-break her.” Nodding, I can’t say I don’t disagree with him.

“I think skipping finding out what she’s having is the best course of action.” I look at both of my brothers and Barrett as they enter the kitchen. “We don’t need her to have anxiety about what we will do because of what she’s having.”

“Agreed.” Ethan says with great finality.

“We could leave it up to her? If she really wants to know,” Conrad offers.

“Whatever the baby is, it’s one of ours, so it’s perfect no matter what.” Barrett gets that dreamy look in his eyes.

Moving closer, I rest a hand on his shoulder and give it a squeeze. “I’m sure Grace will have you very hands on with the baby. Just like she is with Ashina.” I feel in my soul what I said was the truth. A smile slowly crosses Barrett’s lips as he nods his head.

“I hope so, I mean. Being your omega for the last almost thirteen years has been incredible. My only disappointment is that as a male omega, I can’t give you children.” He breaks his gaze and stares at the floor, shifting his weight from foot to foot.

That admission is something I arch a brow over, and motion to my brothers to pay closer attention to what comes next. “I understand that must be very difficult for you, Barrett. You do have very maternal instincts and have been the best omega we could ask for. You know us better than we know ourselves.” A chuckle escapes my lips as I pull him against me and give him a hug. “Let me take you out to dinner tonight, just you and me. There’s a nice little bed-and-breakfast not far off pack lands where we can spend the night.” My brothers and I have spoken at length about making sure we show even attention and affection to Grace and Barrett. We each used to take Barrett out to dinner and then spend the night away from the pack.

“Do you mean it?” He bounces up and down, excitedly grabbing my hand.

“Yes, I mean it. Go get packed and we’ll head out in a little bit.” I release his hand and smack him on his ass, sending him on his way.

Conrad shakes his head and steps closer. “Looks like you’ve got a nice hot date for tonight.” He winks then walks back down the hallway to the room we are setting up for Nicolai.

Running my hands through my hair, I look up and lock eyes with my twin. Even with Conrad being our triplet, he’s a fraternal triplet. If Ethan grew his hair out, you would have a very hard time telling us apart. “What’s on your mind?” Ethan cocks his head, then points to his ear, then the hallway. Listening carefully, I hear the rustling of the blankets. Nodding slowly, I understand what he meant. Grace is awake and even if we use our sibling bond, she sometimes hears what we are saying.

“Not much Griff, just trying to plan a dinner for the three of us.” He shrugs his shoulders as Grace enters at the tail end of the conversation.

A soft yawn escapes her lips as she wraps her arms around me from behind. I feel her face rest between my shoulder blades and I breathe a sigh of relief. This is one of those moments you can only hope for. She initiated contact and sought me out for comfort. “What’s this about dinner?” She yawns and rubs her face on my back. Her wolven instincts to scent mark are kicking in. I can only bet she doesn’t realize what she’s doing.

“Well, I’m taking Barrett out on a date and then we are spending the night at the bed-and-breakfast close to the hardware store.” Resting my hands on hers, I give them a slight squeeze.

“That’s good Griff. Barrett needs to be spoiled, too. It’s not just me here bonded to you guys, he is too.” She nips my shoulder blade, then walks over to lean on the kitchen counter. “What’s for dinner, Wolfie?” Grace rests her forearms on the counter, looking up at Ethan. Her posture screams submission and I watch my brother’s chest puff up with pride.

“Anything you want Darlin, you name it and it’s yours.” I’m shocked by the softer tone he uses with Grace when he speaks to her. He must have caught me smirking, because he let out a growl. “Fuck off, asshole. This is an A-B conversation, so see yourself out of it.” Ethan flips me the bird, then goes back to looking at Grace dismissing me.

“Wolfie … be nice…” Grace reaches out and swats Ethan’s hand and tilts her head at him. “As for food, can we grill some steaks and make baked potatoes?” Her eyebrows shoot up as she looks at him expectantly.

Ethan turns to the freezer and takes out several steaks, and lays them out on the defrosting board. “I’ll send Conrad out to get the potatoes from the root cellar and maybe some carrots to go with it.” He tilts his head the same way Grace does when she asks a question, mimicking her.

“Okay, I’m going to take a shower. Love you guys. Have a great time tonight Griff, you too Barrett.” Grace says before heading down the hallway just as Barrett returns.

Staring at Ethan, I arch a brow. “When did you start the head tilt thing?”

Laughing, he reaches into the fridge and pulls out a beer for himself. “The minute I realized she did it to convey the questions she really wants or needs the answers to. The ones she’s not so worried about, she won’t tilt her head. Pay attention man, its basic female 101. They all have a tell. They do one thing every time something is important to them. Watch closely, even Barrett does it.” The know it all smirk that Ethan gives me makes my insides want to boil over in rage. How could I be so oblivious?

Even old dogs can learn new tricks. And my brother just took me to school.
