Of Another Dimension (34 page)

"I'm going to get you help, my little Chubba bubba," I sniffled softly, hoping he made it to the house.

Maybe if I can get him home, Sieren could help him.

I ripped off my other sleeve and wrapped it around my leg, tying it tightly.

Picking up Chub, I walked determinedly home.

About half way home, Chub licked my face one last time, cradled close to my chest, closing his eyes as he let out one last slow labored breath.

Chub… no…

My hands shook, but a resolve washed over me and I kept walking, gripping him tighter as I used the pain in my leg as a crutch, keeping my focus on the pain of my injury, instead of concentrating on the loss of my little friend.

Teivel was the first one to notice me and he dropped what he was doing, running over to me.

"Lil!" he shouted, eyes panicked and worried.

I fell down to my knees on the ground and set Chub down gently, rubbing my hand lovingly over his little grey head.

"I found the mate," I choked out immediately, my voice wobbly, "We killed it… but it killed Chub."

My vision blurred and my lip trembled.

Teivel carefully took the bloody knife, of which I hadn't realized I'd been clutching-
I must have picked it back up at some point
- and looked down at Chub.

I picked my little chomcharra
back up, cradling him in my arms, letting out a choked cry as I tried to hold it all in.

Teivel ran his hand over Chub and pulled me into his arms, cra
dling me against him as the dam finally broke and I sobbed openly, crying out loudly.

Huge, gut wrenching sobs wracked my body as I let the flood gates open and cried it out.

Letting my grief for my little protector, the fright from the cat beast and the fact that today I killed a living creature, even if it was to save my life and for what I had hoped would have been Chub's too, wash over me.

Teivel rocked me in his arms and whispered words of comfort, trying to soothe me and support me as I broke down on the back lawn and balled my eyes out.

I don't know how long we sat there, but eventually Keive pulled up on his talanax and rushed over to us.

His red face paled when he saw the blood all over me and the bandage on my leg.

"Baby?" He reached out for me, but I clutched Chub tighter and ran my hands over his head again.

Kieve glanced down at Chub's lifeless body and knelt down in front of me.

"I'm so sorry, baby. I know how much you loved him."

I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face and couldn't help but appreciate the love and support he had brimming in him for me, shining through in everything that he does for me.

"I need you to get Sieren," Teivel said quietly.

"I'll be right back
, baby." Kieve kissed me quickly on the forehead before he hurried towards the house.

"He was a good chomcharra and he did what he was supposed to. Protect you. You have to let him go, miquatka, he'
s gone now." Teivel hugged me tighter, nuzzling my hair.

"What are you going to do with him?" I whispered hoarsely.

"What would you like me to do?" he asked softly, his hand brushing over my fly away hairs.

"
Bury him under our tree." I was referring to the tree I like to sit under and watch Kieve wrangle the shaxnas, Chub always by my side.

"I can do that for you, alright?"

I nodded and let him lay Chub down gently on the ground.

He pulled off his shirt and put it over Chub to cover him up.

Sieren came barreling out, jumping over the porch railing as he came charging towards me, his blue eyes wild with panic as he got closer to me.

He scooped me up, ignoring Teivel's warning growls, growling back with a crazy deep, menacing one of his own and carried me into the house.

"Is your leg bothering you, chomcharra?" Sieren asked for the millionth time, brushing the hair back from my face, eyeing my leg as if he wanted to fluff the pillow underneath it,
again
.

"No," I said tiredly and closed my eyes.

The bed creaked and Teivel came up between my legs, careful of my injured leg as he laid his head gently down on my stomach, making sure his horns weren't aiming towards me.

Kieve ran his fingers through my hair, singing our song to me quietly as I drifted off to sleep.

Sieren entwined my hand in his and pressed up against my other side, the warmth, love and comfort of my mates soothing me to sleep.

One Month Later

I stretched and yawned, shivering when I opened my eyes and found a pair of bright yellow eyes smiling down at me.

"Sleep well?" Teivel chuckled, referring to the fact that we hadn't slept at all until the sun had started to come up.

"Why is it Kieve is the only one who has no trouble sharing me at all? I swear, one day you and
Sieren are going to split me in two the way you bicker and play tug of war with me," I groused.

"Never, miquatka," he insisted, kissing my lips good morning, "I'd tear him in half before I ever let any harm come to you."

"How romantic," I snorted, "nothing says I love you like threatening to render your woman's other lover limb from limb.

"Exactly," he said and got up, his tail sliding from my thigh as he walked bare assed naked to the bathroom.

"I swear you have the cutest tush," I cooed at him, knowing the others could hear.

His groan came after the loud guffaw
s of my other mates echoed from somewhere else in the house.

"Miquatka," he grumbled, coming back into the bedroom, "males don't want to be 'cute'. I am a warrior. I want to be strong, masculine, handsome.... not
'cute'
."

I quirked a brow and smirked.

"But you are just soooo 'cute'!" I cooed, cracking up when he growled warningly and bent over to pick up his pants.

"Mmmm, hmmm. I'm sorry
, sweetheart, but your bottom
is
cute. Those tight little red buns are just plain distracting."

He straightened and looked thoughtful for a minute.

"So 'cute', for you, can mean 'pleasing', not referring to a small fluffy animal likeness or resemblance to a youngling?"

"What did you think I meant?" I giggled.

He preened as he pulled his pants up.

"Did you hear
that, Sieren? She likes my ass because she finds it pleasing and distracting!" he said loudly.

"Did she claim
your
ass?" Sieren shot back.

"Don't even think about it," I warned Teivel, hopping up to run across the bed.

"No! But I can always claim hers!" Teivel called and shot himself towards me, pouncing on me.

"Wait!" I protested, gasping when he pushed the head of his cock into my sex. "They're waiting for us," I moaned.

"Let them wait," he purred, thrusting the rest of the way in.

"Stop ravishing my woman and let her eat!" Kieve teased, calling up to us from downstairs. "She's probably still warn out from
my
night!" he tossed in.

"Are you tired
, my sweet little mate? Or are you hungry for something else entirely?" he growled between thrusts.

My sore, but still sensitive from last night, pussy grew wet, slicking him up as
he worked his magic over me.

He slipped his cock out and I whimpered at the loss.

"Lean forward," he demanded in that deep sexy voice.

I complied, moaning when his tail caressed over my skin, moving unerringly to my sex, circling my clit while his fingers slipped inside my tight back passage, two fingers sawing in and out, preparing me for his invasion.

He brought his body flush with mine and his tail entered my weeping sex as his cock breached my anus, both invading me slowly and completely, one inch at a time.

I writhed and moaned as his pelvis came flush up against my backside, letting me know he'd made it all the way in, his balls slapping against my perineum.

"You like that, love? Like when I take you like this?" he growled and pulled his shaft out, thrusting back in again when he was almost out.

I called out his name, pushing back against him as he tunneled himself inside my ass, his tail thrusting into my sex, the dual sensations building me up towards a quick orgasm.

"Harder, please," I begged as I gripped the bed sheets in my clenched fists. "I'm almost there," I panted.

He gripped my hips and let his cock and his tail pummel me, slamming into me with that hot, hard, forceful, take charge in the bedroom attitude that I love to draw out of him.

We both shouted out when his cock swelled and we both flew over the edge, coming at the same time, throbbing in time together as we each found our own little bit of heaven, calling out as we continued to pump and thrust against one another, prolonging our sweet release.

"You made her food cold," Sieren accused, glaring at Teivel as we made our way down to morning meal.

"Really
, Sieren?" Kieve joked as he wrapped his arms around me, "That's what you're going to go with?
You made her food cold?"

"Why don't you just admit that you're upset that she f
inds my body so very attractive? My ass sooo
'cute'
she can’t get enough of me? Can't keep her hands off of me and you're jealous?" Teivel taunted and took a bite of his food.

I snorted at the byplay and sat down in Kieve's lap.

Sieren set a plate of food down in front of me and kissed me hungrily.

"I missed you
, chomcharra," he said sweetly, "I can't sleep without you."

"You sounded like you were sawing lo
gs in there!" Teivel laughed, "Couldn't sleep, my right nut!"

The smell of the food hit my nose and bile rose in my throat.

Oh, god, I think I'm gonna...

I hopped up and ran to the bathroom, barely making it in time as I threw up, heaving repeatedly until I'd lost everything I had in my stomach, leaning over the bowl as I panted and waited for the nausea to subside.

A cool cloth bathed my face and neck as Kieve knelt down beside me.

"Are you alright
, baby?" Kieve asked softly.

"Of course she's not okay, two dicks," Teivel growled, "She's vomiting."

I glanced up in time to see him give Sieren a reproachful look.

"What?! It wasn't me! All I did was set her food in front of her!" Sieren bellowed.

Something clicked when he said that and I counted back in my head.

Kieve handed me the washcloth and I ran it over my face, making sure there was nothing there.

I laughed when I realized what my problem was.

I'd been feeling queasy the past few days, but I hadn't thought much about it. I brushed it off as nothing since it always seemed to pass.

...but every morning it always returned.

I am such an idiot
, I thought and laughed again.

"Baby?" Kieve asked worriedly.

I smiled and looked up at him, looked at all of them.

"How do you feel about being daddies?" I asked, getting up to wash my face.

"A youngling, baby? Really?" Kieve asked excitedly, his whole face brightening up into his sunshiny smile.

Rinsing my mouth out, I discreetly watched Teivel as he looked completely pole axed and Sieren as he looked excited, yet thoughtful.

From the expression on his face, I knew the fifty questions, 'Q and A' session would follow shortly.

Kieve whooped and scooped me up, detouring the kitchen for
the living room, Teivel and Sieren trailing after.

Sieren didn’t wait to start in with the questions.

"Is it normal to vomit when you carry a youngling? How long is the human gestation period? How many can you carry, chomcharra?"

"Whoa! One at a time
, big boy! Hold your shaxnas there, blondie!"

Sieren ran his hands over his short blonde mop of hair and grinned at me, kneeling down in front of me.

"Good grief, your hair grew in fast... I wish mine did that," I said enviously from my spot on the couch, cuddled into Kieve's side.

Teivel plopped down next to me and pulled his hand into mine, kissing my knuckles.

"You have beautiful hair, miquatka. I like it just the way it is," he said tenderly.
