~Aurora’s Point of View~ *I’m sure it was just the stress of it all and the pressure. There’s no way it’ll be like that next time. Didn’t you say he used to always get you off even if he didn’t get off? It’s not like he doesn’t know females like to get OFF. If I could talk to that hunk of wolf I’d give him a piece of my mind,* Lucy says, confused. I swim away from a very perplexed Mason and don’t even have words. It’s not that he came in like five seconds, I mean it is his first time. Yeah it is a lot of pressure. But the fact that he didn’t seem to care or notice the issue with it. Especially when yeah … he used to basically get off on getting me off. Goddess I’m so spoiled by having a male that never tires. A male that can go all day and night, a male that won’t rest until I’m beyond a sated puddle of goo and mush. Javed knows his way around a woman’s body more than any other male possibly could. He knows my buttons, he knows my everything. Sometimes just the sexy face he makes wh

~Aurora’s Point of View~ By the time Mason came back to my bedside, I’d already passed out from sheer exhaustion. I felt him kiss me but I couldn’t even open my eyes. Gage nursed and we were both spent. When I woke about six hours later, I sat up in a sheer panic when I felt my empty belly. But thankfully Lucy immediately consoled me and said the baby was just beside me. When my eyes see his little chest rising and falling, and my ears pick up his heartbeat, I relax. I get up slowly, every muscle in my body absolutely aching. I feel as if I sense Mase, but he’s not in the room. I stare at Gage with his chubby red cheeks and he’s passed out, his mouth wide open, catching flies. So perfect. First priority: grabbing the pitcher of water by my bedside and chugging it down. Someone must have filled it recently because it’s cold and I couldn’t be more grateful. Then, after the bathroom I wander to Rosie’s room where I find her and my mate fast asleep. He’s got his finger curled in her ha

~Aurora’s Point of View~ Mason gives me a knowing nod as we walk toward the packhouse. Rosie is on Harper’s shoulders like she Queen of forest and fuck if it’s not adorable. He’s holding her hands and making airplane noises to boot. Thank the Goddess she found someone with some energy to entertain her, I’m exhausted watching them. *It’s a good thing Harper doesn’t shut up actually. He’s so funny and real, makes it all less awkward,* I say, over mind-link to Mase. *Got that right. If they move here it looks like we’ll have a babysitter whenever we want it, hell we probably aren’t going to be able to get her to leave him judging by how it’s going so far,* Mase says, and I have to wonder if there’s a twinge of jealousy there. Harper is going on and on about different trees, and even points out a poisonous berry bush. Goddess, I don’t even know this stuff. “You’re just full of knowledge huh,” I say, giving Harper a warm smile. He blushes. “They say I got one of those photographic m

~Aurora’s Point of View~ ~Two Years Later~ “Colton! You knock it off,” I snap, as I drop the laundry basket and watch as the clothes go all over the place. I make a face but then look down at the chubby cheeks of my two month old angel Violet and smile. “I’m gonna get you,” Rosie shouts, as she continues to chase her brothers. Closing my eyes, I count to ten. When they pop back open, Lucy is trying to calm me down but it’s useless. Mase has been out all morning doing Goddess knows what and I’ve been alone with four pups on nearly no sleep!! “Fuck this,” I whisper, as I turn and walk straight into the pantry and shut the door. I instantly curse that there is no lock on it, but none of our doors have locks. I close my eyes again and let my forehead thunk against the wall. *It’s gonna be okay, some days will be hard,* Lucy coos. A tear falls down my cheek as I recall the pains I had last night, Javed’s pain. It’s truely fucking horrible and I just can’t understand how it doe

“Just one night Mase,” I whisper, as I look up at him from the floor of the walk in closet. The carpet in here is impossibly soft and it smells more like Javed in here than anywhere else. I’ve already decided I’m staying in there, naked and rolling around all night. Goddess knows if this carpet could talk… “Baby I can’t just leave you out here unprotected. If something happened to you I’d never forgive myself,” he says, not backing down. “There’s a panic room in his office where he’d slumber for the day, it’s fireproof, all that. I can go down there if I have an issue,” I insist. His chest growls slightly and I can’t blame him. The idea of Mase raising four pups on his own is in fact terrifying. I’d never want that. But I need this. “Surely there’s a hotel or something on the island, that’s the best I’ll do. I have to at least be that close if you need me,” he says, running his hand through his hair. He looks so damn sexy, he’s gotten a lot of sun today. We stare at each other
