Exton

Monty tells me there is a room upstairs which Pandora and Ob have started setting up as a nursery for when the family is together. It is agreed that I will spend the night there, so the babies are close to their parents if needed. Tomas barely moves when I pick him up, although he does reach for the puppy. Star smiles, picking up the wolf cub which wakes and licks her face, moments later it too is back asleep.

Monty picks up the playpen and follows as Pandora and Alise lead the way with their daughters. Soon the little ones are settled in and I shoo the mothers, Star included, downstairs to have fun. Monty shows me around the room and I call the book I have been reading. I make a checklist in my mind. Bottles are in the small fridge, each separated by baby. heating them will be no problem, a little magic will take care of that. Diaper bags and a stack of diapers for Chloe on the dresser. Miko's youngest brother lounges against the stack, willing to carry messages, or defend us, as needed.

I settle in a chair, feet dangling over the plush arm, and flip out my cell phone.

"Magnus mi amor... I  am staying at the Tavern for the night." I smile as I tease him. "I am spending the night with two young women and a very handsome young man and wolf."

I laugh as he tells me to have fun. "You could always come join us..." He declines, telling me he is not into group sex. "I don't think they are into it either mi amor, as they are not yet a year old."

His laughter is a balm to my soul. Some would find it chilling, but to me it is a very sensual sound. "If you can tear yourself away, I am here. Monty can tell you which room, as I will not say such over the phone."

I bid him sweet dreams and open my book.
