Chapter 25
Keith
He let his arm fall from around Gary’s shoulders. He was over Merlot’s fucking attitude. He was in no rush to do anything because his mate stood rooted to the ground. She was safe. A lot of his siblings’ mates were, but he still had three out there somewhere. Gary’s stories from when she was at the mercy of her kidnappers were horrible. They beat her and even threatened to rape her. There was no way that he wanted to leave another one of his mates out there at risk. As much as he wanted to go after Shadow and Easel, they had proven that they could take care of themselves. He knew nothing about Kennedy except that she was theirs. His and the rest of his Elemental Spirits.
“I don’t want to wait, Merlot. I want to go after them tonight. Right now,” Keith growled as he stepped toward his older brother.
Jay moved to stand next to him, nodding vigorously in agreement. Keith gave him a grateful look. It would put more pressure on Merlot if two of them pushed the issue.
“Everybody is tired, and we need to come up with a plan. We shouldn't just run into a sandstorm with our eyes open. We need to be smart, or we risk losing everything. Your mates, our mates, and even our lives. You are not thinking clearly. We need to rest so that we are at full strength. We have no idea where the others are. We need to-”
Keith punched Merlot in the face and was immediately yanked back when Merlot’s head whipped back around as he growled.
“THIS IS WHAT’S FOR THE BEST, KEITH!”
Keith’s hands fisted at his side. “FOR WHO? NOT FOR ME! NOT FOR JAY! NOT FOR JANE, MONICA, ZANE, OR YOLA! WHAT ABOUT THEIR MATES? THEY ARE IN TROUBLE! WE NEED TO KEEP MOVING! YOU’RE SO CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR MATE THAT OURS DON’T MATTER!”
Merlot bared his teeth. “Watch what you say! I love Rika! She is family. All of the rest of your mates are family, too. So, don’t even-”
A portal opening behind him cut him off. Keith was pulled toward it, and Merlot threw his arm out to stop his brother from approaching the portal.
“STOP! STAY AWAY FROM IT! EVERYBODY AT THE READY!” He ordered.
All of the siblings pushed their mates behind them as they took defensive stances in front of them, while the mateless siblings all rushed to surround Margo. A young, thin woman stumbled out, and Keith shoved Merlot away as he dashed up to the female. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tight against his body as the portal closed.
“Kennedy!”
She looked up at him with her eyes widening. “K-Keith?”
He picked her up, carrying her back over to Gary. Gary smiled at the woman in Keith’s arms.
“Hi. I’m Gary.”
Kennedy shyly reached out for her hand. “I’m Kennedy.”
“Have you seen Easel and Shadow?” Gary asked hopefully.
Kennedy smiled. “And Rika.”
Jay hurried to her side. “Is Rika okay?”
“Yes. She saved my life. You must be Jay.”
“How do you know my name?”
“Rika said that you would wait for her. She said it was her job to protect people.”
“Where is she?” Jay asked.
“She went with Easel and Shadow.”
Jay hesitated. “How did she save you?”
“She turned into a bird.”
“A bird?”
Kennedy nodded. “She had a beak and feathers. Her legs were really long, and she had talons, but her face was still human-like.”
Jay rocked back on his heels. “She’s a harpy.”
Kennedy looked up at Keith. “What’s a harpy?”
“An off-brand angel,” he responded, making Gary giggle.
“But she was okay?”
Kennedy nodded, making Jay exhale sharply. “Thank you.”
“Well, where’s the next pack?” Keith asked.
“I don’t know, but if Rika is with Easel and Shadow, we should be able to find them easily. We can track Rika. All of her things are here. Jay, get us her toothbrush or something so we can get a spell started.”
“Going.”
Jay walked into the house as Keith looked down at Kennedy. “How long will it take?”
“The potion takes an hour to brew. Then it can take time to find her,” Rose said. “I suggest all of you get some rest while Emily and I get the spell started. Those of you who have your mates, go love them while you can.”
Everybody looked at her fearfully as they pulled their mates closer to their sides.
“What do you mean while we can?”
She sighed. “One of us dies during battle. I don’t know who, but it’s one of us.” She paused to look around as her hand went to her stomach. Aiden Jr. wrapped his arm around her waist and Jackie’s, pulling them both closer to his side as their hands joined Rose’s on her stomach. “Don’t ask me for anything more. That’s all I know right now.”
“Are you pregnant, Rose?” Emily asked as tears filled her eyes.
Rose closed her eyes, nodding. “Yes.”
Emily rushed over to hug her, beaming at Aiden. “You’re going to be a father! Congrats, cousins.”
“Congrats,” Keith mumbled before nodding toward the house. “Come on, Gary. I think we need to be alone.”
She nodded as she followed him to their room while he carried Kennedy. Once inside, he set Kennedy down to strip her torn and dirty clothes, while Gary went across the room to get a nightgown for her. When she brought it back, Keith gently helped her put it on before going to the dresser to get new clothes for himself. He walked into the bathroom to change into new boxers, coming back out to find Gary naked on her knees in front of Kennedy on the bed. He groaned, and they pulled apart. Gary glanced at him, and Kennedy nodded. Gary beckoned him over.
“Come here, Keith.”
He sauntered over excitedly. Gary tugged him down a little before gently pushing him toward Kennedy. His lips gently molded to Kennedy’s, while Gary gently began to move her hands over both of their bodies, arousing all three of them. When Kennedy pulled away breathlessly, Gary pulled Keith to her, sliding her tongue into his mouth. He moaned into their kiss, making her touch more urgent. After pushing his boxers off of his hips, Gary made him lay on the bed before removing Kennedy’s gown. Kennedy blushed as she tried to cover her breasts. Gary kissed her.
“Are you a virgin, Kennedy?” She asked.
“N-no. I’ve had sex before, but not a lot.”
“Come ride him.”
Kennedy blushed harder as she straddled Keith. Gary spread Kennedy’s pussy lips before helping her lower herself onto Keith, whose eyes closed as he struggled not to thrust up into her. His hands went to her waist to hold her still for a moment while her body adjusted to his fat length.
“Gary, come ride my face,” he ordered.
She grinned as she positioned herself over his mouth. He stuck his tongue out to lick her slit as he started to guide Kennedy’s body in a slow rhythm that drove him wild. Gary matched Kennedy’s speed as she ground against his face, leaning forward to kiss Kennedy before sucking her breasts. Keith’s eyes stayed on his mates, watching the way Kennedy blossomed under Gary’s touch, growing more sure of herself the longer she rode him. When Keith rolled Gary’s clit gently between his teeth, she moaned loudly, bucking a little before lowering herself to lick from his belly button to Kennedy’s clit.
Kennedy cried out, and her movements got more wild. She leaned forward a little to add her fingers to Gary’s ass as Keith kept stabbing his tongue into her pussy. Kennedy’s shift in position made her lift higher off of his cock with each rock of her hips before her pussy swallowed him whole again. Gary started licking his length when Kennedy lifted off of him, only to suck on Kennedy’s clit on the downward motion.
“FUCK!” Keith growled. “Yes, Kennedy, Gary. Just like that.”
Kennedy moaned louder as her pussy began to clench tighter around his cock, dragging a strangled moan from him that vibrated through Gary’s pussy. Keith thrust up harder while pulling Kennedy down onto him with more force. Kennedy spread Gary’s ass cheeks to watch Keith’s tongue drive into her pussy. Her eyes darkened. Gary cried out as a rush of fluid leaked from her pussy, covering Keith’s face. Kennedy’s head fell back as she squirted on his cock while he shot his cum into her. Kennedy tossed herself to the side, leaving their mixed juices running down Keith’s cock. Gary moaned softly as she licked him clean before shifting on the bed to lay on Kennedy’s other side. Keith pulled them both into his arms.
“So, ummmm, welcome home, Kennedy.”
Kennedy giggled as she nuzzled into his side. “If home means I get to stay here with you and Gary, then I’m glad to be here. I can’t wait for Easel and Shadow to come home. Then it will really be home. The home I’ve always wanted.”
Keith kissed her forehead. “Sleep, ladies. We have a busy day tomorrow. I love you.”
Gary snuggled into Kennedy’s back. “We love you, too, Keith.”
