Even when injured, Eivind could never pass up the opportunity to touch and coddle Blue, and the young man didn't shy away from his lover's touch as the gruff and calloused hands tenderly pulled him onto his good leg. Blue sat there, his narrow body fitting in nicely with Eivind's, all his awkward lines and angles lining up just right. Blue smiled as Eivind rubbed his face against him. He was comforting his young mate, yes, but Blue had come to learn that Eivind was also making sure his scent stayed on Blue (as if their frequent copulation didn't achieve that goal already). Knowing that Blue smelled like Eivind from head to toe was consoling to both males, and Blue's body melted easily against his mate's as he ran his fingers through Eivind's thick wavy hair.<br/><br/>"I know you'd protect me," Blue whispered, taking a quiet moment to softly press his lips against Eivind's. He knew Eivind would<i>try</i>, anyway, and though he was aware how ferocious Eivind could be, he stood no chance against Lofgren. Blue didn't think any wolf did on a true one on one, but perhaps if they all ganged up on him the terrifying alpha could be taken out. But what if Eivind got fatally wounded in the process? What if Lofgren targeted Eivind, knowing that he was the reason two of his toys had been taken away from him? Images of the black beast that was Lofgren's wolf form sinking its teeth into Eivind's neck, growling and shaking and tearing, left bloody imprints on the back of Blue's eyelids.<i>Go away, we'll be fine</i>, he thought, his own inner voice coming across as an aggressive hiss, meant to silence.<br/><br/>Despite his lover's reassurances, Blue was still wary. He didn't think Stellan intended to cause them trouble, but neither did he know how tight-lipped the wolf could be. As he sat on his boyfriend's thigh, he decided that only time would tell if Stellan had been careful enough.<br/><br/>Reveries were interrupted when Eivind grumpily asked if they should desecrate Stellan's bike. The boy laughed, his eyes closing and crinkling at the sides as his mouth opened up into a wide, jubilant smile. "You're still pissed about that?" he chuckled, sparing a glance at what looked to be an exceptionally well-maintained motorcycle. Blue remembered quite clearly when he had helped Eivind descend down the porch to check on his diesel truck as the wolf couldn't stop grumbling about ensuring Stellan hadn't fucked anything up with his tinkering. He was intensely amused to hear from his aggravated lover that while Stellan had fixed his truck without issue, he and Sig had gotten up to something less agreeable afterward.<br/><br/>"They were just having some fun, Vin. Besides, you know how hot it is to fuck in that cab," Blue purred, pulling one of the older man's hands to his crotch. The fabric on Blue's pajama bottoms was thin, leaving little to the imagination as he encouraged Eivind to feel. "It sounds like my wolf could use a little stress reliever. Would you like that?"<br/><br/>Blue knew he certainly would.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center">x - x - x - x - x<br/>​</div>Stellan's face lifted up from the odd package when Sig came forward, wrapping his lean arms around the wolf's broad neck. The wolf happily licked at Sig's chest and face, showering affection on the small male, letting him know in easy to decipher actions that he had missed him and was ecstatic to see his handsome visage again. Shifting was delayed while Stellan listened to Sig speak. He stood still, allowing the other male to gently comb his fingers through his dense fur. Sig knew what he was looking for; undoubtedly he could feel the scabs that had formed over leftover wounds from Lofgren. The black fur covered up Stellan's bruises, but they would be visible even beneath his tattoos once he transformed into a more agreeable body.<br/><br/>He waited until it seemed like Sig was done checking him over before pushing his massive head into Sig's chest, silently and gently easing him down so Stellan could shift and carefully lay on top of him. When he was a man again, the big male wasted no time taking Sig's mouth as his own, savoring the taste of Sig's saliva as his tongue slipped in between Sig's pink lips. Rising waves of testosterone and dopamine were cresting Stellan's consciousness, reminding him of how good it had felt to be inside of the little wolf and how much he craved to fuck him again.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry I'm late," he gasped, finally managing to tear himself away from the addictive flavor of Sig's kiss. "Lofgren seemed damn intent on making me hunt for the entire pack. Once he was fat on meat I was finally able to get outta there." Stellan ran his fingers through Sig's long blonde hair, admiring. "I should have gone back to the river first to find you. I thought since I left so late, maybe you'd gone back to your friends' house. I..." He wasn't quite sure how to continue, hoping that relating his efforts to Sig would serve him better than they had done with Eivind and Blue.<br/><br/>"They were sitting on the porch when I rode up on my bike. I, uh, I know about everything that happened with Blue and my pack. I did some digging around, asking where my dead pack mate was, things like that. I promise I didn't mention either of your friends' names," he added quickly, wanting to avoid another outburst like the one he had received from Blue. "I'm disgusted by what they did to 'im. I told your friends that. Apologized. Doesn't change nothing, but I wanted your friend to know I wouldn't have done that. I would've tried to do something to stop it. My pack mates aren't the brightest. I know that. But none of this would have gone down with our old alpha. They knew better. It shouldn't have happened."<br/><br/>Though it wasn't truly a confession, the large felt as if he had just given one. He turned his weight onto his side, lying next to Sig on the cool rock and pulling his new friend into his arms. Sig fit into him nicely, and Stellan showed his appreciation by kissing and lightly biting along Sig's throat. "You made me work to find you." Smart choice. An unaffiliated wolf was a target, especially once Stellan's scent faded from Sig's body. Stellan thought Sig smelled amazing, but it was obvious he was small and potentially easy to claim for a big wolf simply desiring ownership over someone compact and attractive.<br/><br/>"It's definitely a nice hideaway. I doubt anyone would come looking for you here unless they already knew what they were searching for. Or they just really, really wanted you." Another kiss, this one slow and deep. Stellan's hand caressed the smooth lines of Sig's hip, pulling his pelvis into him. "I told Eivind and Blue I'd bring you back. If you wanted to go. I didn't say<i>when </i>I'd bring you back."
