Chapter 51-60

Chapter 0051 The parents must have decided to leave us alone after my emotional display. So it’s just Sierra, the guys and sitting at the patio table now enjoying dessert. I can still hear the adults talking somewhere inside the house though. “So, you get to pick my birthday cake every year Sam! This was great!” laughed at his smug expression as he started to preen himself like the male peacock he is. “Okay, one more tradition before the night is over.” Cam says standing up and taking his shirt off. I immediately look away, but I am met with the rest of the guys taking off their clothes too. What the hell is going on? am surrounded by the sexiest guys know, who are now down to their boxer briefs. There is nowhere safe to look. can feel my face burn with embarrassment at the idea of being caught ogling them. They don’t need that ego boost, but damn it was hard to look away. They are all 16 year old gods chiseled from head to toe. Every muscle was defined, no area receives more attention than another. Arms corded and ripped, moving with every small twist of the wrist of fingers. Biceps and shoulders taught, abs flexing as they pull the shirts over their heads and those devilish ‘V’ muscles dipping into their barely hanging on shorts. Oh boy, did the temperature just

“Like what you see Tiny?’ My eyes go wide at Cam catching me staring at all of them. “Umm..” I have literally been rendered stupid and speechless while also wanting the ground to swallow me “It’s okay, you can always share too, if it would make you feel more comfortable.” Sam winks at me and I feel my face burn brighter. “Knock it off, Sam, I’m serious.” Mateo slaps him upside the head again. n,Nho gets to do the honors? Except Sam!” are you talking about?” I ask standing up from my seat looking at each of them. I stop on Sierra

trying to catch a hint of what’s going on. She just shrugs, no ideas, but she’s willing to go with whatever the guys are going to do to me. At least I’m not the only one in the dark. I don’t feel unsafe though, and she’s probably thinking the same thing. Of all the emotions feel around them, fear has never been “Me!” Dakota shouts and before I know what’s happening I’m lifted up and instinctually wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, painfully aware of all the beautiful bare skin I am touching. Before could ask again what was going on we hit the warm water of the pool. My muscles involuntarily tighten around him as the bubbles from our plunge swirl around us. Kota swims for the surface and as we break free I can hear Sierra’s scream as I assume she is being thrown in as well. Then a torrent of splashes and noise happened around us. A’Vhat was that all about?” I question wiping water and hair from my face. •rradition. Once we finish eating and celebrating, we swim until midnight when the birthday is officially over.” “You really could have just said that. Was the aggressive dunk really necessary?” He looks down between us at my legs wrapped around him and then at my arms wrapped around his neck. “Absolutely.” The little twitch of his lips, telling me he’s fighting his smile, makes me feel all warm again. Thank you for today, Kota. was fun.” hugged him again. Cam swims up close behind me wrapping an arm around my waist, effectively pulling me off of Kota. “Did you have a good day?” “l did, Thank you.” I lean back, tucking my face into his neck and smile up at him as he hugs me from behind. “My turn.” Oliver swims over and I don’t even hesitate to wrap my arms around his neck, laughing. Cam releases me slowly. Thank you for today, you guys really made it special for me.” The smile he gives me when I pull back from the hug,

Chapter 0052 I know it will start a whole new competition if I do, but I can’t help instigating his troublemaker tendencies. I slide a hand in his hair at the nape of his neck and place the other on his opposite cheek and pull him to me pressing my lips softly against his stubbly cheek. I barely touched him with my lips wthen he gasped. His fingers flex into my side and leg where he’s holding me. ‘IF*ck! Little Bit. That was hot! Now I get why Alpha was blushing.” His voice is low and deeper than normal and he’s not quite looking at me. “Does that mean the rest of us get one too?” Kota asks expectantly. I pretend to think for a moment. “Of course.” I wiggle out of Sam’s arms and swim to his waiting arrns_ He grabs my waist gently and I wrap both hands into his curly black hair and pull his cheek to my lips. Turning in his arms I reach for Cam doing the same and then Oliver. I leave them all looking a little stunned and swim over to Sierra “Ooh! Is it my turn?” She bats her eyes at me. I grab her, wrap my legs around her waist like the guys and kiss her slowly on both cheeks before looking over my shoulder at them, smiling. I don’t know what made me so brave all of a sudden. Maybe having friends who actuallywant to know me. I felt light and really happy, off the training grounds, for the first time in a long time. “I think you broke them.” She laughs at them all standing in a line, mouths open, not blinking, staring at us. “They don’t know how to handle the Skylar orgy, or the girl on girl action” I just cringe and try not to be embarrassed by her statement, then laugh and hug her tightly. “Thank you for being here today, this means a lot.” I say into her ear. “Now, what are we going to do until midnight? These boys are being weird, and we need to lighten the mood.” ‘Let’s see how long it takes them to join a volleyball game.” She looks at me and then over to them finally broken from their trance and milling about talking together at the opposite end of the pool. The pool is a beautiful large rectangle edged in large flat stones so it resembles a natural lake rather than a modern pool. The concrete inside the pool is painted a light green with lights placed every few feet so it looks ethereal. It’s all one depth across, making pool

games more fun, although it’s designed for the average tall werewolf, so I can barely touch. Now, knowing these guys better, everything gets turned into a competition, so this should be easy. We pull the net across and hook it to the support bar and start lazily hitting it back and forth. It took all of three minutes for Sam to reach over Sierra’s head and return a volley for her. Then Oliver joins my side and we start playing two on two. Of course the twins and my brother couldn’t be left out for long. With the odd number we just kept rotating, the plays getting more and more wild and aggressive as we went and who knows what kind of point system they were using. I stopped trying to figure it out and just had fun. We started splashing as a distraction and once when I was close to the net, Kota grabbed my legs from the other side and pulled me under to make me miss the ball. That turned into an all out dunking match and somehow Sierra and I became the main targets. I kept getting caught and tossed. It was too hard to swim away while still being fully dressed. The guys tried to talk me into going in my underwear, Sierra had finally conceded, but there was no way Iwas joining in. I was really good at keeping my injuries covered, even with all the activities. But swimming around half naked in a pool, nothing was going to make me expose myself like that.

“I need a break” I finally call out to them and go to climb out of the side of the pool to grab a drink have barely stood to my full height, when I hear my brother. “WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?!”

Chapter 0053 I spin quickly, thinking there is some kind of threat, I’m on high alert. “What?” My wet ponytail whips around and wraps around my neck, hands at the ready for a fight. “What is on your back Skylar?” He hasn ‘t used my full name in months, since I started hanging out with him and the guys regularly. He looks like he is trying to hold in his temper and his eye color is swirling, letting me know his wolf is pissed and close to the surface. I reach back and realize my shirt has been pushed all the way up to my bra, exposing my whole torso. I didn’t even feel it move in the water. My eyes widen and I know what he can see, the bruising around my ribs in various shades of healing and the pink and mottled scars along my back from the whip and silver. The make-up Sierra put on the exposed parts must have come off too, not helping the case. “It’s nothing, just training injuries, that’s all.” I ramble out a little too quickly to be believable, more concerned with getting my shirt down. “You’re lying. Why are you lying to us, Skylar?” Cam
