Summary: Unable to think straight at work I head home.

~*~

I don’t know why, but for some reason all I’ve wanted to do all day long is go home and see him … see them- both of them.

It started not long after I got to work, really… something, I don’t know what… but something brought all the images and memories of last night back- sending a shiver down my spine.

From that moment on I couldn’t concentrate on work. Nothing I did went right. Someone would ask me a question and I wouldn’t hear them… all I keep thinking about was my new mate and my husband to be...

It got so bad… well, let’s not go there, okay? Let’s just say that by the end of the day I don’t think I knew my own name even…

And it wasn’t like anything really happened last night either…. So why?

Sighing, I still can’t explain it.

All we did was snuggle, that was it… but maybe that was part of it. To me both of them are home- a sense of comfort, security.

Maybe it has something to do with how new mine and Sully’s mating is…maybe our bond is growing deeper, stronger. Or maybe it has something to do with the upcoming wedding, I don’t know.

Like I said I can’t really explain it, but the one thing I do know is- I so wanted to be with them right then and there, all day.

Thousands of things were floating thought my head- all to do with them and nothing to do with work.

Every time I thought of one of them my whole body would tingle…

Well, more so with Sully than with Luc, but then again I think that’s got something to do with the mating itself because it was like every time I thought of him he was there with me.

Not so much in a standing beside me way, but more like… in me. It was as if I was starting to feel him- his thoughts and emotions. It wasn’t the same as Bear, Wolfe or Chaos really, but it was something. What I don’t quite know yet. That’s something I’ll have to wait and see about.

And when I pondered on my Prince Charmin’… Well, all I could think about was the millions of conversations we’ve had since we met. The way he’s always surprising me. That every time I thought I’d gotten him figured out, he’d do something else to catch me off guard once again. And how I love him so very much…

How I loved both of them more than I’d ever loved anyone…

Being unable to stand it any longer, I went straight home right after work. I didn’t stop at the club, or the bookstore.

Hell, I didn’t even stop to check the mail up at the Lake house like I always do.

No, instead I came here. I don’t know what I was thinking; maybe that someone would be around and I could….

I don’t know… but they weren’t. Everyone was still working, or at least out. Not even Marcus, Grim or Jes were around.

Making my way though the big empty house the only occupants I could find were of the winged or furry variety. The cookie jar in the kitchen had been broken into yet again with both Caleb and Munchee groaning away in their little cave in the living room. My tiny dragon wasn’t looking much better than they sounded either, but he followed me anyway.

Sighing to myself I continued up to my room and changed into something warm and comfy. It didn’t matter to me that it was in the 80’s and sunny out. All I really wanted to do was go curl up somewhere… Maybe snuggle in for a while and stay there…

Pulling on my cozy black yoga pants, I found one of Luc’s shirts he’d left over here and slipped it on as well. Burying my face in to the fabric, I inhaled. It helped some, but not much… it still wasn’t the same.

Dante’s soft click and whistle drew my attention to him where he was dancing about on Sully’s pillow. Then he hopped to the fuzzy throw we all snuggled under last night.

“Thank you, baby,” I murmured softly, picking him up then gathering the blanket and pillow as well.

He climbed on to my shoulder and nuzzled his tiny snout into my hair, all the while making his happy little noises. We made our way back down the stairs and into the section that’s being renovated.

I really didn’t care what I looked like as I stopped to talk to the foreman, all I cared about was how the construction was coming.

The good news was the main connecting corridor to the other house was done. The community living room was finished as well. They only need to be tiled and furnished.

The monstrous family bedroom, adjoining master bath, and walk in closets that took up the length of the addition were ahead of schedule and should be done before the wedding… Even the 200 x 600 glass enclosed family and pet living area/ atrium should be done ahead of time.

After thanking him and his crew for working so hard on getting things done, I continued onward hoping that someone would be around, only to find the two leopards- Ema and Shogun, and Adi- Cae’s griffon in another part of the house.

Ema and Adi just looked up at me, seeing if I’d feed them while Shogun bounded over and licked me all over trying to get to his buddy Dante. Yup that’s my boy. He’s always happy to see me... or rather the tiny dragon upon my shoulder.

Placing the teeny blue creature on top of the spotted kitten’s back I got both the other two their ‘treats’ and wandered though the rest of the house looking for someone. I wasn’t worried about the little ones, knowing they would curl up somewhere and take a nap after a bit of play.

Checking the rest of the rooms, I sighed. It was just as I’d feared. No one was home over here either. Figures.

I could’ve called either of them and they would’ve come back here before I could blink; I knew that. But somehow I just didn’t feel like it was right calling them… or rather, not without a good reason, anyways.

When I came to our room… or should I say Luc’s room… I entered and made my way over to the bed and lay down. Curling up with my heart’s pillow and the blanket we all snuggled under not too long ago in the middle of my soul’s bed, I started to relax, slowly feeling more like myself again...

Snuggling a little deeper, I inhaled the unique smells of both my loves. I closed my eyes to think for a bit. Back to what was said… and dreams of our future…

Feeling the bed shift, I paid no mind to it, not even in the least. Most of the time the dragon and at least the snow leopard curl up and sleep with us.

Then I felt a gentle hand stroking my hair back.

Cracking my eyes, I blinked sleepily taking in the glorious sight before me…. Yin and yang- my heart and soul, both of them were smiling softly at me.

“How did…?”

“Rear, petal-mine,” Sully answered, climbing on to the bed, then wrapping himself around me from behind.

Luc nodded. He joined us on the bed and wrapped his arms around me from the front. “He called us, said you’ve been off all day. Something about you were missing something,” he added, drawing me closer so his hand rested on Sully hip.

Nodding, I snuggled into him a little more. “I was…. I’ve been missing my heart and soul all day.”

“’s a good thin’ y’s go’ us, th’n, i’n’t it?” Tigger chuckled, purring quietly.

“Mmmm… it is…” I sighed, happy and content for the first time all day.

“Why don’t you just rest, imp. Scully and I will watch over you, baby…” Luc whispered, nuzzling my neck.

With them purring, their arms wrapped around me and one another, and the sense of home it didn’t take me long to fall a sleep. When I awoke, I found all of us right where we were when I fell asleep a few hours before and the little ones had joined us as well. I don’t think I could ever ask for a better way to spend the rest of my life… Good thing I don’t have to, huh?
