Chapter 24
Cassius
“Rosie. Would you pleaseget your duck out of the toilet!” I call out of the open bathroom door. Daisy quacks and flaps her wings, spraying toilet water all over me. “Fuck!” I growl, wiping off my pants.
“Bad word,” Rosie sing-songs as she enters the room. I glare at my pretty, little princess in her pink tutu dress and pigtails as she comes into the bathroom. She looks over at her duck and sighs. “Daisy! Bad girl. I was getting your pool ready.” She scolds her duck and goes over to grab her from the toilet. “Now Auntie E is gonna have to give me another bath, thanks for that,” she grumbles to Daisy as she leaves the room.
I look up into the mirror and smile, shaking my head.This really is my life.And as crazy and chaotic as it can be, I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Before Harlow came back into our lives, my life was... well, it wasn't really a life. I put all my time into work because when I was at home my mind would wander, and all I could think about was Rosie. If she was okay? Did she miss me? Was her mother taking care of her?
But now I’m always on my toes. Our company is growing again and everything is legit. Rosie is smart, healthy, and thriving. I’m with the love of my life again, and when I do have a moment to let my mind wander, it goes right to the people I love.
After cleaning up the mess in the bathroom, I venture out into the house to see what everyone else is up to.
“What smells so good?” I ask, walking into the kitchen. I worked all day, just getting off a half hour ago. I haven’t had a chance to grab anything to eat, so the smell of whatever Sam is cooking makes my stomach growl in appreciation.
“Oh,” he says, looking over his shoulder. “I’m making chicken curry. Do you want some?” he asks with a shy smile.
“I’d love some,” I say, grabbing a plate. “Where’s everyone else?”
“Evie is helping Rosie with the duck. Something about her being covered in toilet water?” Sam laughs. “Last time I saw Neo, he was talking to the seagull outside, yelling at it for umm...” his cheeks pinken, and I can’t help but smirk. “For pooping on Bob.”
A chuckle slips from my lips making him smile. “What about our girl? And my brother?” I don’t ask about Dean because he was still at work when I left.
His cheeks darken even more. “Well, those two were fighting in the basement. They were playing pool, and Harlow swears Axel cheated. I came up here to check on the food but when I went back down, the sounds coming from behind the door were a different kind of yelling.”
“Ahhh,” I laugh again. “Those two sure do love to fight, then fuck.”
“Yeah,” he says, dishing out some food for me.
“How’s everything going with you three? If you don’t mind me asking.”
He turns to me, and the smile on his face is nice to see. “Good. I think. We spend time together as a group, and we each get our alone time. Although, I’m sure that what they do when they’re alone together versus what we do alone is completely different,” he sighs, the smile slipping from his lips.
“You know they don’t care if your relationship is sexual, right? They both love you like crazy. I’ve never seen Axel happier than when he’s with one of you.”
“I know,” Sam says, sounding angry, but more like it’s directed at himself. “But I don’t want it to be like that. I want them, both of them, in every way. My fear is making me assume it’s gonna go belly up if we try anything.”
“Have you talked to Harlow about this? Or even Evie? They’ve been through something similar and are able to have active sex lives. I can’t even begin to try to give you advice, because I wouldn’t know what to say other than maybe talk to them. Never feel embarrassed about anything because, trust me, they won’t judge you for anything.”
“No, I haven't really,” he admits. “But thanks. Maybe asking what helps Harlow get past it long enough to be able to be with all of you would help.”
“Oh, get over it, you big baby.” Harlow’s voice as she talks to Axel has me turning around to see her walk into the kitchen. But when her eyes lock on me, I know it’s not Harlow.
“Queenie.” I smile, knowing my night is going to be anything but a nice relaxing time at home. A thrill runs through me, because the predatory look in her eyes tells me I’m the one she intends to spend her time with.
“Cassy boy,” she purrs, strutting over to me. My cock twitches as I take in her sex rumpled hair, not at all bothered by the fact that she just fucked my brother.
“Do you know how hard it is to get cum out of felt?” Axel growls, stepping into the kitchen, coming to a halt when he realizes he’s not alone.
“Did you get attacked by a bear?” I ask, chuckling as I take in his messed up bun, ripped shirt, and the red marks on his neck.
“No, just a queen,” he says, giving Queenie a look that's a mix of annoyance and heat.
“He’s just pissy because I came out mid fuck,” she shrugs. “Sue me, I needed a good dicking. Harlow can spare one of your cocks every now and then. A girl can only go so long without a good fuck.”
“Could have just asked, I’d be happy to bend you over and fuck you any time you wanted,” Axel grins.
