Fated Forgiveness [Kindred of Arkadia 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour ManLove) (12 page)

“Kent, you helped to arrange this party to show your mates how much you care.” Liam reached down

and inserted a finger alongside his cock. Kent went wild bucking into Sebastian and then back to impale

himself on Liam.

“Sebastian, you stood up for your mate, you defended me. No one has ever done that for me before,”

Liam said, hoping the bond would share with his mates how he felt. How no one had ever taken care of

him before and how much it meant to him.

“I love you Liam, I love you Kent. I want to stay like this forever!” Sebastian screamed out his release.

“I love you both so much,” Kent said, thrusting as deep into Sebastian as he could as Sebastian’s

pleasure washed through them all.

“You both are my everything, I have never loved anyone like this,” Liam said before his orgasm

compounded by his mate’s raced through them, expanding through every cell before exploding. Liam could

feel everything. There was no Kent, Liam, or Sebastian. It was if they were all one. Groaning, Liam eased

Kent and Sebastian to the left, gently laying them all on their sides, the entire time their cocks laid deep in

each other.

Slowly, their cocks began to harden again. Through tears of joy and release, they made love moving as

one body. They moved slowly, savoring every touch as it was magnified by three. Shortly before dawn,

their collective orgasm ripped through them, and all three of them gave in to the darkness.

Chapter 7

Liam was yawning at the table the next morning when his grandfather walked in whistling, wearing

jeans and a button-up white shirt with the cuffs rolled up. The casual look on him was something different.

Liam cracked his neck and sighed with relief when it popped. He had spent last night in the recliner again

after waking up to an arm full of armadillo.

“You’re still here?” Liam asked, sipping his coffee.

“I thought I may visit for a while. It’s been a long time since this house has felt so warm, I’d like to see

what changes you have made to the place.”

“Oh! I didn’t know you were coming down for breakfast or I would have cooked something fancier,”

Sebastian said, frowning down into his frying pan.

“Don’t be silly. You’re my grandson now, you can relax,” Lachlan said, pouring himself a glass of juice.

“Don’t be fooled by the smiling face. That just means he’s going to figure out a way to work you more,”

Liam grumbled. Sebastian spun around and frowned at his mate.

“Be nice to our grandfather or no crepes for you,” Sebastian chided. Liam pouted. Kent walked into the

kitchen in his normal suit, glasses in place, looking sexy as sin. Liam felt himself getting aroused thinking

about office games. Sebastian moaned, bracing himself against the counter, and Kent stopped dead in his

tracks and swallowed hard.

“Liam, be good,” Kent admonished.

“My mates are picking on me,” Liam whined to no one in particular.

“Lachlan, you were right, the southwestern pride was the only hold out. The threat of sending in the

Sentinels had them responding. They are sending us one of their own.” Kent took a deep breath. Sensing

his mate’s pain, Liam stood and went to his mate.

“What is it?” he asked, taking the folder and placing it on the table. Gently, he pushed his mate into the

chair.

“How bad is it, son?” Lachlan asked, frowning.

“He’s only eight. His name is Brendan Walters. He told his mom that he liked boys. They have been

keeping him in the basement.” Kent’s voice broke.

“He comes here. We’ll take him,” Liam said, rubbing his hands over his mate’s. Liam felt Sebastian

move toward them, and then his heat was suddenly at their backs as he wrapped his arms around them.

“We’ll take them all, won’t we, Liam? All the kids with no homes?” Sebastian asked. Liam looked at

him then at Kent, both of them waiting on his answer.

“Yes, we’ll take them all.” Liam knew that he could never turn a child away.

“You did say you wanted a large family,” Sebastian snickered above them. Liam stilled. Reality hit. They

would have a child living with them again. It had been so long since Kyle had joined them, and he was

practically a teenager when he moved in. This boy was eight. Liam would bet that he still believed in Santa

Claus. Christmas! They were going to have so much fun shopping.

“What did you just think of that has you glowing from the inside out?” Kent asked. Lachlan chuckled.

“He must be thinking about Christmas. It’s his favorite holiday. Every year his parents would take off to

go skiing, leaving him with the Arkadions. He looked forward to Christmas every year,” Lachlan said.

“You knew?” Liam asked, surprised that his grandfather knew what his parents were really like.

“Where do you think your presents came from? You didn’t know?” he asked at Liam’s surprised

expression. Then Lachlan shook his head.

“Never mind, you were never supposed to know.” He sighed.

“Liam, I’ve known since you were very small how your parents treated you. As much as it pained me as

a parent to admit that my only son would ever hurt his child, I knew it would kill me if he ever did. Think

about it, Liam, if I had shown you any kind of favor growing up, what would your father have done?”

Lachlan asked.

“Nothing, but I would have probably died in a horrible accident,” Liam admitted. Sebastian gasped.

“Exactly. I may have announced you as my heir last night, but your name has been on my will for

almost twenty years.” Lachlan said sadly.

“We’re going to have real Christmases in this house again, hopefully I’ll be invited.” Lachlan winked.

“Of course you’re invited,” Sebastian said, kissing the tops of Liam and Kent’s heads before walking

back to the stove.

“When is the boy coming here?” Liam asked, turning to Kent.

“Not until next year. His uncle, Pierce Johansen, will be dropping him off here before heading up to

Arkadiatown in Massachusetts. They aren’t able to come sooner since Pierce is under contract designing a

city center down there. They have moved out of the pride and they are staying with the local wolf pack. The

wolves don’t seem to have problems with their pack members being gay.” Kent said.

“Do you think he’ll want a race car bed or a Batman bed?” Liam asked, rubbing his hands together.

“Maybe he’ll like books instead. We could get him a Kindle or an iPad,” Kent said, smiling.

“We should start shopping now… I said the ‘S’ word and Rian didn’t jump me. Now that I think about

it, it’s been really quiet, where is he?” Liam asked, looking around.

“I think he was afraid you would rescind your offer for a new phone. He and Damian were up at the

crack of dawn heading to Johnny’s,” Sebastian said, walking over with platter for the table.

“It’s just crepes, some are sweet and some are savory. I didn’t know what everyone would want.”

Sebastian twisted the kitchen towel in his hands.

“I’m sure it’s perfect,” Liam said and lifted the fork to his lips. The next second Kent put his fork on the

table and was out of his chair. Chewing and laughing, he swung their mate around.

“It’s ’elicious. My mate is a genius.” Kent kissed him and set him back down before returning to his

breakfast. Liam hurried up and took his bite. He had gotten a strawberry and cream cheese one, and the

flavors exploded across his taste buds.

“Amazing, right?” Kent said, inhaling his.

“What did you get?” Liam asked, digging into his plate.

“Feta and spinach,” Kent said with a mouthful.

“I’m glad you like them. After breakfast we can go shopping. What was his name, Kent?” Sebastian

asked.

“Brendan Walters. You guys go ahead into town. I’m going to stay up here and finish up Brendan’s

transfer paperwork,” Kent said between mouthfuls. Liam frowned.

“Maybe I should do that, being Alpha and all,” Liam offered. Kent looked up at him and raised a dark

eyebrow.

“I’d like to get the poor child to Arkadia before he turns eighteen, Liam.” Kent finished his plate and

Lachlan chuckled.

“He knows you so well already.” Liam eyed his mate.

“I know that it requires my signature,” Liam grumbled.

“That’s okay, my love, I’ve been forging your signature since the day I took over finances. I sign your

name better than you do.” Kent stood and leaned over to kiss Liam, then Sebastian, before picking up his

folder and returning to the office.

“That young man will go far.” Lachlan smiled into his juice, and Liam grunted.

“I’m going to go up and change, then we can go.” Sebastian finished drying the frying pan he had

washed and wiped his hands on a dish towel.

“I’m the Alpha around here,” Liam said under his breath.

“And yet I noticed you only said that when both of your mates were out of ear shot,” Lachlan pointed

out.

“I’m the Alpha, not stupid.” Liam grinned and finished up his breakfast.

* * * *

Sebastian had put more items on the counter than he could carry out of the store. It was a good thing his

mate was arranging for a delivery.

“Having fun, baby?” Liam asked, walking up behind him and nuzzling his neck. He sighed happily. He

loved whenever his mates touched him.

“Kids need a lot, you know. Plus we don’t know how much he had to leave behind. If we start now we

can have his room ready by the time he gets here,” Sebastian pointed out.

“Getting hungry?” Liam asked. Now that he said something Sebastian could feel the emptiness of his

stomach.

“Starved. I wonder if Ma still has that chicken mac and cheese. I had some last week and it was

amazing.” Sebastian licked his lips.

“Let’s head over.” Liam pulled Sebastian close. They waved good-bye to Miranda as they left the

clothing store. Unsure what sizes to get, they had bought a huge assortment of sizes. If they didn’t fit

Brendan, they could be used later for another child. Sebastian liked the idea that the pride would be taking

in children who had nowhere to go.

Sebastian enjoyed the short but leisurely walk from the store to the diner. The man at his side made

something so everyday and normal seem special. When they pulled open the diner door, a cacophony of

noise assailed their ears.

“Why? We’re all shifters,” a sassy voice demanded. Sebastian’s ears perked up. He knew that voice. He

rushed past Liam into the diner and stopped. He couldn’t help the smile stretching across his face if he tried.

There in the middle of the diner, butt naked, was none other than his best friend Felix Kilpatrick.

“Because you’re shocking people,” Emmett said, grinning from ear to ear as he pointed across the diner

to a scandalized, standoffish Eliza Pruitt. Felix looked over to where the women sat frowning. Felix swung

his hips making everything flop around.

“Sorry honey, I’m gay.” He blew air kisses at her.

“First vampires and now this. This town is going downhill,” she squeaked, picked up her purse pushing

past Sebastian. Felix, sticking his tongue out, followed her as she walked out and came face-to-face with

Sebastian.

“Bastian! I found you!” Felix ran and wrapped himself around Sebastian.

“You’re here! Are you okay?” Sebastian hugged his friend fiercely. Felix pulled back and shook his

head.

“Look at you, you were always the waterworks of the group.” Felix leaned past Kate and pulled a

napkin out of the dispenser and proceeded to wipe Sebastian’s cheeks. A loud throat-clearing had Sebastian

and Felix turning around. Sebastian could see that muscle working double-time in Liam’s jaw.

“Now this is what I’m talking about. Hello, sexy,” Felix purred up at Liam. Sebastian cuffed him on the

back of the head.

“Ow! What was that for? Cock blocker!” Felix complained.

“Damn right, cock blocking! That cock belongs to me.” Sebastian growled. Felix’s eyes brightened.

“You’re mated? I knew this town would be perfect. Any other hotties available for me?” Felix asked,

instantly losing interest in Liam.

“Boys, language! And Felix dear, please put on the sweats we gave you,” Ma yelled from behind the

counter.

“Sorry, Ma. Felix, get dressed. I think I may know a few you would love. But first, meet my mate Liam.

Liam, this is my bestest friend in the whole world. We met in captivity. If it weren’t for Felix I don’t think I

would have made it out of there sane or alive,” Sebastian admitted.

“In that case, you’re forgiven for hugging my mate naked and not spending more time grieving over the

fact that I’m unavailable,” Liam winked.

“Sorry, there are too many other men for me to pine away.” Felix sauntered up to the counter and took

the clothes from Emmett. He blew kisses at the large bear, who shook his head, laughing.

“Sorry, little guy, I bat for the other team.”

“That’s okay, no one’s perfect.” Felix sighed.

“Come sit with us. I can introduce you,” Sebastian said, sitting at the table with Rebecca and Kate.

Sebastian watched as Felix sat down, he and Rebecca eyeing each other carefully. The bells on the door
