Teddy Bear Hugs (Patreon)

Poor Reese....

Again, unedited, bad grammar and typos included.

Reese sat on the edge of his bed after his shower wearing the extra clothes Seung had gotten him.

At least these fit, because the first pair of pants wouldn’t stay on his body even with the strings pulled so tight the fabric on the waist bunched up.

The downfall?

Pink on pink pajama bottoms, with yellow flowers and a T-shirt offering teddy-bear hugs complete with a smiling, rosy cheeked bear with its chubby arms spread wide. Reese had definitely not taken Seung as the teddy-bear hug kind of women.

Was that egg-bearing female or just female?

He’d try to stick with female, just to be safe.  Even though Reese saw them all as men and women in his mind.

Going by how their shoulders stiffened or their jaws clenched it had to be an insult. Or at least as close to one has a person could get.

Voice trickled in from the other side of the door.

Reese’s stomach growled but there was no way he was going out there. Not where three massive male Mah would track him every step he took. And at least one of them would constantly remind Reese he smelled like sex and chocolate.

Reese was pretty sure Jonathan thought the same thing but kept quiet. The Delta, Lewis, also stayed silent but made up with it blatant lip licking and staring at Reese’s ass.

Yeah, five minutes in a room with them after they came down from upstairs, Reese left to take a shower.

Two hours later he still hadn’t come out.

At least the walls were thick and he’d barely heard Nox with Luca. It took concentration though because his newly improved hearing seemed to think he needed to tune in.

Worse were the intrusive thoughts, staring Jonathan with nothing on doing all the things Reese feared. Or at least feared wanting.

The sounds died down and Reese debated making an appearance. Another thirty minutes and he still hadn’t made up his mind.

A knock sounded at his door. “Dr. Dante?” Just hearing Luca’s voice wrapped Reese in calm. It was similar to how he felt with Koda talked to him, but it was stronger with Luca. He blamed it on Luca’s blood getting into the wound on his shoulder after Paul bit him.

If the Varu and Mah could scent Cana blood in his veins, it was the only explanation. Reese didn’t mind though. If anything he felt safe when in Luca’s presence.

“Dr. Dante?”

He went to the door and opened it.

Luca dragged a look over Reese, but not the sexual kind. “Wow.”

“Yeah, that’s one word for it.”

“That and pink.”

“Make sure you don’t overlook the teddy bear hugs.”

Luca grinned. “If I promise no teddy bear hugs will you come out of the room?”

“It’s not you I’m worried about.”

The three Mah watched him from the others side of the room while they talked. Were they even aware of it?

Luca glanced over his shoulder. “They won’t bother you.”

“Yeah, that’s not what I’m worried about either.”

“They won’t touch you.” And Luca said it so seriously Reese could only believe him.

He stepped out of the room. Arik had a beer to his lips and immediately choked spraying Nole. “Hey, watch it—” Then Nole looked.

Hell, they all looked.

Except Seung. She was busy typing on her smart phone.

Luca took Reese’s hand and led him into the living room where everyone sat. Luca put Reese in the empty space by the arm of the sofa near Nox then sat between them.

Nox arched an eyebrow at Reese.

“No teddy bear hugs for you either.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it.”
