Falling

Chapter 10 Part 2 Oh, to be a fly on the wall

A/N:  I did not edit this chapter but I'll go back later so any questions let me know. 

ASH POV

The twins need a nap so Liam, Conlan and I lay down with them but I find I can't go to sleep. I lay there for a while then decide to sneak out. I love them but I need a little space. a little time. Quietly climbing over Conlan I get out of the bed. I stare down at them and smile when I see that Liam and Conlan each have an arm wrapped around one of the boys. Using the heel of my hand I wipe away a stray tear. I don't know why I'm crying but I am. Slipping out of the room I shut the door shut the door behind me. I close my eyes as I slide to the floor. I can't seem to grasp why they love me or why the boys want me as there mom. Why did Conlan stop hating me? I know what he said but I still don't get it. And why is Liam so....perfect? I bury my face in my hands for a second before I drop my hands and stand.

"Ash?" I whirl, a dagger in my hand and at his throat before I realize it's Conlan. I blink in surprise, not aware that I could move that fast now. I drop the dagger and slide it back into the harness on my side, struggling not to blush as I look at him.

"I..." He stops my protest by pressing his lips to mine. I tilt my head back as he wraps his arms around me and pulls me close. My hands reach up to clutch at his hair as his tongue slides into my mouth. His hands caress my butt as I place a hand on his chest. Muscles flex as he pulls back and looks at me, his eyes filled with lust.

"Stop apologizing. You need some space. I'm sure at some point I'll need some to. Go find Phelan and go for a run." My brows raise as I look at him.

"And how is Phelan going to go on a run with me." Conlan frowns at me his eyebrows drawing together.

"You don't know?" I look at him with a 'duh' expression as he smiles.

"Phelan is an Irish name. It means 'wolf'. Phelan is a nightmare breed and a wolf." My eyes narrow as I pull back a little.

"And I'm just finding this out why?"

"Because I asked them not to tell you. I didn't want t rub it in your face when you didn't have a beast." I turn in Conlan's arm to see that Phelan has came up behind us.

"I am not a child." Phelan leans against the wall and stares at me. The look in his eyes tell me that he wants to say something cute but he doesn't so I just shrug.

"Fine, let's go." Phelan justs laughs and pushing himself off the wall he follows me.

..................

I went behind one tree and Phelan went to another and we stripped. I finished before Phelan and wait patiently. When he walks out I huff. Then I laugh as best I can in leopard form. He snarls at me but I laugh harder and close my eyes. I open my eyes and glare at him when he licks my jaw. I hiss as he whirls and races into the trees. I follow after him and we chase each other for a while. By the time we get back to our respective trees and change clothes I need a nap.

But when I get back from behind the tree and see Phelan I can't help but start to laugh. I bend over clutching my stomach.

"Has Liam ever see you change?" Phelan shakes his head as he scowls at me.

"No and you know why." I see the flash of hurt in his eyes and I stop laughing.

"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Do you want to talk for awhile before we go back?" Phelan's eyes softens and he nods as he walks over to sit under a weeping willow tree. I sit beside him and bump my shoulder with his.

"So you seem like you need some advice." He closes his eyes and leans into the tree.

"Lea told me why Deke was acting the way he was and I don't know whether to tell Cara." I roll my eyes.
