Flynn, Joyee - My Feisty Kitten [Purrfect Mates 7] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour ManLove) by Joyee Flynn Page A

around my waist. Okay, so maybe I was laying it on a little thick with how much trouble I was having walking, and it didn’t hurt as badly as I made it seem with the drugs and all. So I was playing up my injuries to get what I wanted. Sue me.
    “Will you guys just hold me tonight? I need to feel my mates. My brain is all jumbled, and I was so scared I’d lose you both. I just need a big kitty pile of comfort tonight.”
    Both of them froze for a moment before recovering and helping me again down the hallway. I knew Aaron wouldn’t be the one to speak, this was really Imogen’s call. And it wasn’t until we were in my bedroom and they were getting me undressed that he answered.
    “Yes, of course, Sasha. I will always give my keeper what he needs. It’s a simple and understandable request after what you’ve been through.”
    “Thank you, baby,” I said, practically batting my eyelashes at him. I had a feeling Aaron knew what was going on but was smart enough not to say a word.
    We all got into bed after taking off our clothes. I spooned Imogen as Aaron did me so I was in the middle of my mates, surrounded and protected. I would deny ever having admitted it, and it might only have slipped out during a torture session…but this was what I really needed tonight. Since I found them, it had felt like Imogen and me, or me and Aaron. It never felt like us .
    “I’m on to your tricks, Sasha,” Imogen whispered after a while of lying there, snuggling back closer to me. Aaron’s breathing had evened out so I guessed Imogen had been waiting for him to fall asleep first. “Don’t think that you had me fooled.”
    “I don’t, but I wasn’t lying when I said I needed to feel this either.”
    “Which is why I am here tonight. I’m starting to trust Aaron, I won’t deny that. But I’m not sure this was a step I was ready to take.”
    “I didn’t mean to push you, baby,” I said honestly, feeling like an asshole. “I just think this is the kind of step you’re never really ready to take, and I know without a doubt nothing bad will happen from doing this. I also don’t think I was the only one who needed it.”
    “You weren’t,” Aaron whispered. “The closer you and Imogen get, the more I feel like an outsider. I know that’s probably not fair to say because Sasha and I have gotten closer as well, and Imogen and I are not where we first started by any means. It’s just the longer I don’t claim him, the more insecure I feel about everything. I didn’t want him to go because in the back of my mind I was convinced he wouldn’t return from his world.”
    “Then why did you let me go?” Imogen asked as he looked over his shoulder at our mate.
    “I’ve not claimed you and you’ve not even acknowledged I’m your mate. I have no right to say what you can or can’t do much less give an opinion about it. And, mate or not, I never would stop you from seeing, especially warning, your family. I believed you wouldn’t lie to us when you said you’d be back. I knew it was in my head, but that didn’t stop my fears or ease my worries.”
    “I’m sorry you felt that and are going through all this because of me,” he whispered, and I tightened my arms around him, knowing he needed the comfort.
    “You’re worth it, my fairy,” Aaron said gently as he moved his hand from my hip over to Imogen’s. He ran his fingers lightly over the sheet we had covering out naked bodies. I still felt Imogen shiver at the contact though. “I’d take all eternity going a little crazier every day in a heartbeat for what I have right now, right here in this bed. Your comfort and not pushing you is more important than some doubts on my part.”
    Wow! What did someone say to that?
    “Damn, that was good. I actually got totally turned on, too,” Imogen moaned and pushed his ass against my groin.
    Okay, so not where I would have gone, but that worked, too. Either way, I’m sure Aaron understood the message, and it was well
