Chapter 588
“Oh sh*t!” I thrust my hips up out of the warm water, almost making Cam stumble.
“Is it too hot? We thought warm water might help with all of the soreness.”
“Nope! Just give me a second, I wasn’t expecting it to sting so bad.” I take a deep breath and try to move out of his arms, but he’s not letting me go.
“Let us take care of you. You are finally ours, completely.” I just nod. Even if I really wanted it, there’s no way he’s going to let me break this little bubble of submission I have given them. Dakota and Oliver have moved to the shower and the sight of both of them in the steamy space, with soap and water running down all of their chiseled curves has me drooling.
“Control those thoughts, Bitty…”
“You aren’t ready for another round and just that little flutter of heat from you has me at full mast.” Dakota finishes Oliver’s sentence, looking over his shoulder at me. I am pretty sure I blushed, but the steam from the tub is hopefully making the rest of my skin red enough that it’s not noticeable.
Cam sits down in the bath water with me again and this time I expect the sting on my lady bits. I take a deep breath and let it out as I relax into the warmth and let my muscles soak. Cam doesn’t let me go until Dakota climbs in the tub. I am passed over so Cam can get in the shower too. Oliver joins shortly after DAkota and starts to rub my feet and calves. I am in heaven.
Once Cam comes back, they work together to wash my whole body and my hair as gently as possible. The amount of attention I am receiving is so strange and yet, not at all unusual. This is what unconditional love looks like. When they are satisfied that I am clean and relaxed, we all get out, me being handed from one to the other, never setting a foot on the cold floor. We walk back to the bedroom, where I am finally set on my feet on the plush carpet and someone towels my hair, while another does my body. My third mate disappears for only a moment, then a t-shirt is placed over my head. A massive t-shirt that goes to my knees. This one is Cam’s, I can smell the citrus strongly. I take another deep breath, the smell is almost overwhelming hoe potent it is. And then I can smell the cinnamon from Dakota to my right and the honey from Oliver to my left, both just as potent.
Then it hits me, I take another breath and fill my lungs. I haven’t smelled them like this in a long time. I could always tell who was who, but the last time they were this potent was before I left for training years ago. Like they have been muted or someone turned down the dial on their scent.
“Woah! You guys smell amazing.” I breathe out and they all laugh.
“I would hope so, we did just shower after getting you all dirty.” Dakota nuzzles his nose into my neck and wraps his arms around me. I can’t
help but smile.
“No, I mean your scents are really intense right now.” I breathe in again. “Like they were muted or duller before. I didn’t notice until now.”
Dakota takes a deep breath in. “You’re right. You’ve always smelted like vanilla, like a dessert.” He nips at my neek and I jump away, bumping into Oliver, who catches me easily
and take his turn.
“It is stronger. That’s probably a mate bonding thing.” He shrugs, moving us towards the bed.
“I just wonder if that’s normal or something else that’s weird for just us. I also wonder if her heat will kick in normally or if it won’t happen ti next year.” Cam climbs into bed. Oliver more or less shoved me in after Cam.
“That’s right, Happy Birthday, Baby.” Oliver kisses the side of my head as he climbs in behind me.
“Happy Birthday, Sweetness.” Dakota leans over Cam to give me a kiss.
“Happy Birthday, Love.” Cam kisses me on the temple and wraps me in his arms as we all settle in.
