Kat though was holding me, his body wrapped around me almost awkwardly. Kaden wasn&#8217;t much better. He was laid on my other side holding me. His and Kat&#8217;s legs and arms looped and linked around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would prove impossible for me to move without waking them. But thankfully I was having a rare good morning where morning sickness didn&#8217;t appear. Yay, I can eat without being sick\u2026 Hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dexter made a groaning noise and his hand started to move down Kat&#8217;s naked body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were all naked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kat must not have been sleeping as deeply as I thought because the next thing I knew he was slapping Dexter&#8217;s hand away before reaching his genitals. &#8220;I&#8217;m letting you hug me, but mean I&#8217;m not ready for anything else yet.&#8221; His voice was surprisingly clear for the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Worth a try,&#8221; Dexter replied awake too, he opened his eyes and leaned over pecking Kat on the lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kat looked surprised and blushed slightly. &#8220;At least I got a kiss.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaden chuckled sleepily. &#8220;Since when did you become such a morning person?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Since I got my princess bride, daughter, and Kat to join our little family,&#8221; Dexter replied awkwardly climbing over and kissing both me and Kaden. &#8220;I know what you mean,&#8221; Kaden sighs. &#8220;Its good having them join us. It makes me feel complete.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dexter silently nods, moves down the bed between my legs and rests his head on my legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Morning Princess.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are not calling our baby that! That was on the no way in hell list, remember?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He grinned, &#8220;Just testing you, my princess.&#8221; He kissed my bump. &#8220;I love you and your mummy very much. One day when you are much older boys are going to want to date you like we do mummy. But that&#8217;s not going to happen because you&#8217;re going to become a nun and marry Jesus.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh as did the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You know it might be a boy?&#8221; Kaden suggests. &#8220;No, it&#8217;s a girl. A beautiful, girl. Just like her mummy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Speaking of mummy\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I groaned and closed my eyes, knowing where this was going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No, you don&#8217;t, bunny. Open those pretty little eyes or none of us will touch you for the rest of the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kat whimpers and Dexter muttered, &#8220;Speak for yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I opened my eyes and chuckled at the look he was giving Kaden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Good.&#8221; Kaden ignored the looked and smiled at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Tell me, do you like him?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes. He&#8217;s a sweetheart. He reminds me of a more emoish version of Kat,&#8221; I turn to him and peck his nose. &#8220;My handsome Kat,&#8221; I get slightly distracted nuzzling his cheek and placing stray kisses along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bunny,&#8221; Kaden chuckled making me snapped back. Kat mewled at the loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s alright, Kat. She&#8217;ll give you more attention, but first we need to discuss Matrix.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It isn&#8217;t like that\u2026&#8221; I began to say. &#8220;Well, not really. I adore him. He is so loveable and sweet. He needs a mummy. I am not going to deny I am sexually attracted to him because I am. He is a little too skinny, but he is sexy. And those panties\u2026&#8221; I paused thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He is a little hottie,&#8221; Kaden agreed, though the other two said nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But he is just my friend. I cared for him, yes. But I have you guys and I love you all. I hardly think he&#8217;s interested. As he said, he&#8217;s picky and prefers men.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They all stare at me blankly. &#8220;Bunny, I saw the way he looked at you. He stared at you almost the whole time. He got hard looking at you. He even licked your cum off himself. Yes, I noticed, I know you did too. But I didn&#8217;t say anything because you are right, he is sweet. He deserves a real master. A permanent one.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But that doesn&#8217;t mean he likes me. I could just taste nice. And I was sat with Kat and Dex, he might have-&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Come on, we know that&#8217;s not true,&#8221; He cut me off. &#8220;Why do you deny it so much? Tell me?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was afraid to tell them, I looked down, but he made me look at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I feel like a whore,&#8221; I admit ashamedly. &#8220;He is so hot and I really wanted to f*ck him. But I don&#8217;t know if there will be a future beyond that. I mean he&#8217;s young and basically gay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have you guys and I don&#8217;t need anyone else. I don&#8217;t want to lose you guys because I keep adding men. I am going insane, I think. But I really do want to be his friend. He needs me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They stayed quiet for the longest time just holding me before finally speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You will never lose us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Any of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I thought we made it clear last night, we are all forever. No matter what.&#8221; They each said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s just play it by ear,&#8221; Kaden suggests. &#8220;Let&#8217;s start as friends, see how today goes and we can decide later when the time comes if need be. Is that alright with you guys?&#8221; They both agree, but I don&#8217;t think they are happy about it. Only doing it for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think we should visit him outside club hours, at his flat. See if he is really as he pretends or if it&#8217;s an act?&#8221; Dexter says this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes. I agree. He might just be trying to play us,&#8221; Kat agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That is fine. But I think he is for real. From the little the guys at the club know and what you told me, it seems as though he is just a kid trying to make it on his own. Hank even told me he offered him a place to stay with him and Liam, no strings. Something about his landlord being an ass. But he refused because he didn&#8217;t want to leech off someone. He is very independent but has no real friends. He bottoms for a dom once on a while but never takes a permanent one. I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; Kaden paused as of thinking. &#8220;There is something about him. Something other than his messed up family.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Just know I love you, princess. We all do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After ordering breakfast to our room and getting dressed, we decide to head to Matrix&#8217;s for an hour or so. Just long enough to get a better idea about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we will return to the hotel and spend some time together alone before meeting him again at the club. Or at least that is the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I hope he isn&#8217;t mad about us dropping in,&#8221; I think out loud as we walk the short distance to the cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dexter wanted to drive me because I&#8217;m pregnant. But Kat told him that it is good for me and the child to exercise, as long as not much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaden agreed and so did Dexter, reluctantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he made sure to walk with his arm around my waist as if I might fall. It was sweet but annoying. Kat and Kaden were close to my other side, but not too close because they could see Dexter&#8217;s codling was annoying me a little. Though he seems oblivious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guys were talking about returning home and collecting the last of Kat&#8217;s bits from his sister&#8217;s and Cammie&#8217;s place. We had got some before, but there was still a few bits left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Not feeling sick today, my love?&#8221; Kat asked as we drew closer to our destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I feel good today. Maybe a little achy, my b00bs are feeling sore. But I&#8217;m alright. Thank you for asking. How are you, my handsome feline?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were all dressed in everyday clothes. The guys in a t-shirt or sweater and jeans and trainers. I was in a mid-sleeve, pink skater dress and black sketches with a silver flower pattern on the outer sides. I honestly didn&#8217;t care if it looked odd or unfashionable. It was comfortable and being pregnant, it was hard to ever feel that it tight clothes. My hair was pulled back and I had only mascara and lip-gloss on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am happy. I have my dream girl, a baby on the way and two men who are growing on me,&#8221; Kat replied, grinning at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Gee, thanks. I love you too man,&#8221; Kaden joked. &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, Kat. My offers still out there if you want a blowie,&#8221; Dexter said winking from beside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kat blushed staying quiet. &#8220;I totally love watching licking each other yesterday, very erotic.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaden nodded in agreement. &#8220;It made me hard, I just wanted to bend Dex over and plow into his ass while he blew Kat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Umm, nice image.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s not talk about it. It&#8217;s making me hard.&#8221; I glanced down to see the beginnings of a tent in Kaden&#8217;s pants. &#8220;That&#8217;s how you should be all the time, Daddy,&#8221; I say with a smirk. &#8220;I love seeing you like that. It makes me think of you shooting inside me and filling me up.&#8221; He groans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh look, the diner,&#8221; I say casually making Dexter snigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are so being punished tonight, bunny. I&#8217;ll teach you not to tease.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh, but daddy,&#8221; I pout. &#8220;I was just telling you how much I want your baby inside me too.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His expression softened slightly, but then he shook his head and smirked. &#8220;You are a bad girl. You almost had me then. You are still being punished. But tonight I want to try something a little different.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t know if I liked the sound of that, but I know they would never hurt me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was about to suggest we head inside the diner and ask where the door to the flat is when we heard a dog yelp around the corner, down the alley next to the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What the\u2026?&#8221; Kat mumbled and headed in the direction closing followed by Kaden. I followed with Dexter, but he kept me back, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we go deeper into the alley, we noticed a door ajar, the sound of a whimpering came from inside. As well as a raised threatening voice, there was a smaller familiar voice pleading and not in a good way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I realized who it belonged too. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s-&#8221; I didn&#8217;t get time to finish. The pair were already heading inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kat&#8217;s pov<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter who it is. I don&#8217;t care if I know the person or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that matters is the person was in trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How did I know it wasn&#8217;t the type of pleas like at the club, the type where they say no but mean yes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that is easy. The tone. The pain, fear in the person&#8217;s voice. It wasn&#8217;t like the lust or what I would hear in the club. The person cries were full of terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were scared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve got your back.&#8221; I noticed for the first time Kaden was entering the building with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like him. He&#8217;s a good guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking up a narrow set of stairs which lead to another open door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why were they open? As I got closer, that question was answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It looks like the door was kicked in,&#8221; Kaden whispered to me so not to alert the people to our presences. The lock on the door was broken and splintered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He gestured with his hand to stay quiet and follow his lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon entering the small flat we saw things knocked over, what looked like smashed cups or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Please stop. I don&#8217;t want it. I won&#8217;t tell.&#8221; The plea was cut off by a crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When has that ever mattered?&#8221; The smug voice said. &#8220;I like it when you struggle.&#8221; Another sob followed. &#8220;Same deal as normal, tell anyone and you&#8217;ll not only be homeless, but jobless and no one will believe you. Everyone knows what you are. Even your folks, that why I&#8217;m all you got. So unless you want that and not to mention your mutt dead, I would keep the hell quiet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sobbed and screams muffled and we burst through the one closed door to find a large man with his manhood out trying to push it in the backside of a small lad. He had the lad pinned faced down on the bed, his hand around the boy&#8217;s neck holding his face into a pillow, with his second hand aiming his piece. He didn&#8217;t even notice us enter. &#8220;Shut up. I know you&#8217;ll like-&#8221; His words were cut off abruptly when I launched myself at the man just as he pushed into the lad.
