She shrugged and pushed another forkful of food into her mouth. Once she swallowed it, she said, “We keep seeing them acting strange at night and in the mornings. You were saying you spotted Hendrix in the front yard. That’s been going on for a while now between the brothers. They pace through the mansion randomly in the dark.”
“And what’s the reason?” I asked, my fork slipping out of my grasp and hitting the marble island counter at hearing her words.
She half laughed and it sounded strained. “Oh, that’s not something you’d ask an Alpha. No one in the mansion would dare ask them. Their affairs are not our business. But a few people have tried to approach them when they are pacing, but they don’t seem to acknowledge you. It’s like they are in their own heads only.”
“Like they’re sleepwalking,” I muttered.
“Everyone watches them. I can promise you no one would allow them to get into danger. But most mornings, if you ask the brothers how they slept, they tell you they were fine or change the topic. It’s not our place to push the topic unless they raise it with us first.”
What was going on with them? And why did it affect all three of them? “So, Hendrix is safe?”
“Yes. He is being watched and has always returned back to his room.”
A sense of relief came over me, even if I still didn’t understand their behavior.
“You shouldn’t be wandering out of your room, Syn,” Eliza said, almost scoldingly, which was strange considering I was a bit older than her. “It’s how people get hurt. Just last week, one of the kitchen helpers had a portion of the ceiling fall on her. Luckily, she just had a slight concussion. And weeks before that, a guard stepped into a ditch that wasn’t there earlier on the grounds and broke his leg. There’s something strange going on in this place.”
“To me, that sounds more like the mansion needing repairs.” I tried to smile at Eliza, but the hardness of her expression wasn’t budging.
“I’m serious. You need to stay safe in your room at night, okay?”
Taking another mouthful and swallowing the food, I replied, “Fine, as long as you take the same advice.”
Her hard exterior finally cracked and she laughed lightly. “Oh, you sound just like Mom.”
We kept on eating and chatting about lighter things like her starting to do gardening, and how last week a local fisherman caught a great white shark just off the island’s shore.
Once we were done, she walked me to the top of the stairs to my room when I turned to her. “Okay, I’ve got it from here.” I couldn’t help but hug her. “Thank you."
She blushed when I broke away. “I love having you back home with us. I missed you.” Then she spun and darted down the steps.
Home. It was still crazy to me that this was my home now.
Eliza was adorable, and I made a mental note to spend more time with her during the day.
Once I walked back into my room, I shut the door and found Caspian lying on his back with the bed sheets kicked off. He’d insisted on sleeping in the nude, and right now he was having a super erotic dream.
It was obvious by his tented cock, thick and hard. My cheeks burned up at the sight. Caspian was the biggest of the three brothers, in all respects. My nipples pebbled in response seeing him this way, and a whisper of desire flared over my body, igniting something within me.
While I might have first guessed he was laying a trap for me, with the way he was heavily breathing, I doubted that was the case.
It was crazy how much these three men turned me on.
While what I’d just learned about their strange actions at night had me wanting to shake Caspian awake and ask him about it, I also contemplated waking him in a very different way. He had a way of always pulling crazy stunts that I never expected. Maybe it was time he tasted some of his own medicine.
On soft steps, I closed the distance toward the bed and stood at the end, staring down at the powerful alpha. Butterflies burst in my stomach with excitement to know I had an upper hand over him. Was this why these powerful men always loved to take charge? The adrenaline was addictive.
My breath picked up as I got onto the bed, crawling between his spread legs. I kept glancing at his face, half expecting him to jerk upward and scare me, and then my attention would dip to his cock, which sat like a flagpole, waiting for me.
I licked my lips, taking in his enormous size, my mouth watering with the thought of tasting him. Crouching in front of him, I wrapped my fingers around his shaft, surprised by the satisfaction burning through me.
Holding him, I leaned forward and slipped my lips over the tip of his cock. He smelled intoxicating, so masculine that it covered me in delicious tingles.
I kept my eyes on him the entire time, loving how the deeper I slid my mouth over his huge cock, the more his breaths sped up. His snores morphed into growls, his chest arching.
He was magnificent in this state and totally under my control.
I drew him deeper and deeper between my lips, the aggressive part of me wanting to make him explode in my mouth while he still slept. To wake up just as he came and discovered I was his little wet dream.
I wanted more, so I worked him in until his tip touched the back of my throat. I paused, catching my breath, and attempted to open my throat a bit more, my lips tight around his cock. He was so warm in my mouth, salty and musky.
With my gaze on him, his breaths were quickening, and teasing him was doing something to me too. My pussy was drenched, and as I licked the underside of his shaft, I imagined what it would feel like to have him fuck me. Excitement drove me wild, and I had my ass in the air, my pajama shorts clinging to my wet pussy the more I sucked on him.
Running my tongue over and over along the bottom of his dick, teasing him, I felt him thicken, sensing the long vein on the front swell up. Oh, he was close, and I pushed him deeper, pressing past the tears in my eyes. I wanted to give him something he’d never forget.
It was only when I felt the rocking of his hips, thrusting deeper into my mouth, that I jerked my gaze back to Caspian.
Eyes open, he stared at me with the most incredibly wicked grin. My heart thundered in my chest at being busted.
“Well, hello there, baby,” he moaned, gasping for breath.
