“5 more minutes?” Lex argued with a half-smirked pout, really not wanting to get up and leave the comfort of the bed or Devereux’s arms but knowing the other was right in his assessment of what Cammie would do.

“Only five,” he conceded, nuzzling at Lex tenderly. He doubted his sister would give them that much time, but he had locked the door at least. It would give them the time it took for Cammie to pick the lock.

Pheromone signatures didn’t lie, and Bailey could smell the fear coming off of the other even if they didn’t want it to. Instead of arguing, he simply gave the other a look that said “Sure I don’t”, enough to convey that the other couldn’t hide the truth no matter what words came out of his mouth.

He wasn’t going to keep poking the wasp’s nest. If there was one thing that was true, it was that he didn’t know if the other male would resort to violence if Bailey kept pressing the situation, so he backed off, leaving the other with the option to decide what he wanted to do next.

He was pacing back and forth at this point, looking exactly like the caged pup he was at heart. He hated the other at the moment, despised having what he already knew on a deep level pointed out. It made it harder for him to pretend he actually had a home.

“They’d kill you too,” he whimpered, hating just how weak he sounded.

The whole scene would have been damn near animalistic if it weren’t for the slightly absurd inclusion of the bacon, but the humour of it was entirely suited to the way the two of them were so comfortable in each others presence.

Cael leaned up, trying to snap his jaws at the strip of bacon but failing to quite get enough momentum to reach before letting out another half-laughed growl.

Lissa would have laughed, but it came out as more of a moan as she leaned in just enough for him get the smallest bit of purchase on the bacon. It wasn’t the first time one of them had made the other laugh in the middle of sex and she sincerely hoped there wouldn’t be a last time. She couldn’t imagine being this comfortable with anyone else.

“Ask nicely.”
