Sapphyra [Adult Superhero Progression]

Guy

“Don’t answer it.” Sapph whispered, pulling the covers over us both. Inhaling her scent was more than enough reason for me to stay my butt in bed with her.

The knocking continued, louder this time.

I groaned, laying down, placing my wing over my mate. Why can’t this fucker just let us be?

“You think he’ll go away if we just ignore him?” I smirked, already knowing the answer to that.

“No.” She closed her eyes and yawned quietly, snuggling into my chest. “But he shouldn’t be left in the dark about the baby.”

Damn. She had a point there, much as I loathe to admit it.

Kissing her forehead, I pulled away from her, only stopping once her tail wrapped around mine. She tugged me back into bed and I thanked the goddess for this. This one moment was something I’d been dying for, my whole life.

I wasn’t about to let him ruin it, second mate or not.

“One second baby, I’ll be right back.” she groaned but eventually, after the fourth set of knocks, she let go of my tail. I grabbed a towel—he did not deserve to see me naked right now—and opened the door just a crack.

“The baby is fine. Go away.” I tried to be civil and swift, closing the door as fast as I could but Noa stopped the door with his foot.

“Let me see her.” It wasn’t a request if that growl was anything to go by.

“She’s trying to sleep—” I hate how his pissed off face just made me ache to punch him…and then fuck him.

Sighing, I caved and let him in just enough to see her. Sapphyra laid on her back, eyes closed, mouth open with a trail of drool dribbled down to her shoulders. She was absolutely adorable and I would not let Wyatt or Noa wake her up.

But when Noa’s shoulders slumped and a whine escaped his chest, I knew that was the farthest thing on his mind.

He backed out of the room, head lowered as he offered me a small smile.

“Thank you.” He paused then ground his teeth for a minute. His eyes changed to amber. “We’re both thanking you for taking such good care of her.”

“You’d better,” I warned, closing the door behind me as quiet as a church mouse. “Someone has to take care of her until you can get your shit together.”

Wyatt pouted and crossed his arms. “It’s not that simple. Sapph and I—”

“Are addicted to each other.” His dark skin drained, as if hearing the truth out loud broke whatever lie he was hiding under in half. “Don’t deny it. I’m not even calling it bad, but I will call it out for what it is.”

“Tsk.” He clicked his tongue and furrowed his brow, meeting me with a steady gaze. He wasn’t giving me validation but he wasn’t arguing it either.

I leaned my head against the closed door, feeling the towel slide down my hips a little. It felt good to see him squirm and adjust his crotch because he wanted this…wanted me too. For the longest time, I thought that’s what I wanted and maybe it was for a while.

But now? Now I just wanted peace between the three of us.

“Wyatt. I want us to work. You know that, right?” I can’t believe I have to practically beg this man to dive in the pool instead of just dipping his toes in.

“Of course I do. I’m not sure it can.” Where have I heard that before?

“Why, because there’s too much history between you and Sapph or…” I took a step forward, letting the towel rest right at the bottom of my treasure trail. He sucked in a breath and the hard outline of his dick stayed in my peripheral vision.

“Is it because you’re a coward? Too afraid to roll the dice on us as a throuple?” His growl brought me joy. Wyatt’s hands twitched and I’m not gonna lie, I wanted him to jump on me, bad.

“Shut your fucking mouth!” His voice was low and predatory but all it did was turn me on.

“Come shut it for me.” My wings flexed and spread out wide as my canines popped up in a toothy grin.

I was ready for him to move. He teleported in front of me, pressing his arm across my chest and holding me against the wall like a spider holds its prey. Thank god he was taller than me, it made it easier to climb him.

My tail and legs wrapped around Wyatt’s waist, locking our crotches together. He bit into my neck, just enough to make me moan for him. My claws ripped into his back with ease, burying themselves where they belonged. My dick was hard enough to cut diamonds and he was no better. Here we were, grinding and growling like fucking animals in a hotel hallway. One of his hands gripped my hair as he dry humped me.

I kept my ear out for Sapphyra, making sure her breathing was level. One whimper from her and I would drop Wyatt’s ass like a bad habit.

It would have been easy to let him finish unbuckling his pants with the other and take me right then and there.

But that’s not what any of us needed right now. We might have wanted it like hell, but no.

Not right now.

Sapph needed a team, not two loose cannons vying for her heart…okay, her heart and a quick nut.

I ripped my claws out and pushed him away before he could finish unbuttoning his pants.

“The fuck?” He asked, amber eyes wild with desire.

“She’s asleep and exhausted.” I had to catch my breath, “and she doesn’t need to be alone right now.”

His dilated pupils shrank and he groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. “You’re right.”

We stared at each other for far too long.

“Tell me what to do?” His eyes bore into mine, vulnerable and needy. I know he’s not used to giving up control like this but…fuck it, I’m proud of him for trying.

I huffed air out of my nose, pressing my palms against the door.

“Come back tomorrow. Let me take care of her for the day and I’ll see how she feels about seeing you again.”

“And if she does?” The question hung heavy with unspoken questions. Where do we go from there? How does the relationship fit with our friends and family? With each other?

All I could do was open the door and shrug, “we’ll see what happens and go from there.”

When I closed the door behind me, I didn’t know that would be the last time I saw him for a long while.
