Chapter 241

A LITTLE MATURE CONTENT: just a little...

Hayden gasps as he gets pressed into the cool tiles, sensitive nipples rubbing against it.

He had been distracted when he had suggested a shared shower but he's not against how it's turning out.

He places both his palms against the wall to keep his balance, blinking out water droplets from his eyelashes as he feels Virgil's hard, slippery body press against the length of his back.

Wet lips mouth at his neck, shivers wracking his body.

"V-Virgil, we're not go-going to... ah! get clean this way." 

Virgil hums, licking a wide strip up his back. "Are you sure?" He nibbles at the soft, wet skin beneath his lips, hands gently gripping the other's waist.

Hayden slams his eyes shut when Virgil's sharp teeth makes indents in his skin, a foreign feeling rushing through him.

Maybe he was hanging around Werewolves way too much because he wants to get bitten.

"Where's Apple?" Dream asks when they're both settled in Hayden's car.

"What?" Hayden blinks, rubbing his cheek as he looks around furtively. "I thought you were with her." 

Dream looks just as confused. "No, you said you'd bring her."

"So where could she be then?" Hayden asks, already stepping out of the car. "She wasn't with me and she's not with you either..." He trails off, realization hitting. "Oh my God, she knows how to work stairs, she could be anywhere."

Dream is also on his plane of existence, getting out of his side of the car. "We can't leave her behind, Ruby is coming over!" He panics, hurrying up.

"I'll call up Virgil." Hayden says as they hurry back inside the Pack House like they had left the oven on.

"Hayden?" Virgil says immediately he picks, worry tinting his voice as to why Hayden would be calling right now when he should be on his way to work, unless something was wrong.

"Are you okay..."

"V? Thank goodness! I can't find Apple!" He says quickly into the phone, Dream grabbing his hand to tug him forward when he slows down.

"I'm sorry, what?" Virgil splutters, pausing his movement, he had already been halfway out his seat, because he couldn't have heard well.

"Ruby is coming over today and... this is just really important, baby, I need to find my cat!"

Virgil flinches back from his phone, Hayden rarely ever raises his voice so he says..."Of course, love, I'm on it." Because honestly there's no other answer, he couldn't stand his baby being upset.

He quickly places a couple more calls and soon had the entire occupants of the fourth floor searching for a particularly fat, white cat.

"I can't believe this." Leon curses when he's tasked with the second floor. "I work my way up the ranks only to be tasked with playing tag with a kitty."

"Try to not strangle her when you find her." Jaxie calls down to him, searching the third floor with Ian it was where the kitchens were located at so there was a very high chance of finding her there.

"Let's hope I don't." He grumbles as they part ways.

Virgil takes the fourth floor, speedily going through the offices and particularly paying attention to their apartment, Apple had a lot of secret spots.

"Found her yet?" Hayden calls not long after.

"No, she's not on the fourth floor." 

"She's not on the first either." Hayden adds and Virgil can feel his anxiety through the phone. "You don't think she could have gotten out, do you? I mean we're in the middle of the woods, it's dangerous out."

"Calm down, baby, she's a house cat, I don't see her going on any adventures." Virgil quickly says, leaving the apartment, he made sure to lock every door he has been through, and unless somehow Apple knew how to open doors they should be safe.

"Where are you? I'm coming right now."

"I'm on the first floor." He hears his human lover reply with a soft sniffle and he wishes he had found Apple, if only to scold the little feline for stressing out his husband.

He bumps into Ian and Jaxon who are quick to say they hadn't seen the cat either.

They all meet on the second floor at the point that Virgil's phone rings.

"Hey, Leo, found her yet?" He asks his older brother.

Leon takes a deep breath, staring down at the cat who is holed up on a pile of blankets she had brought down in the pantry.

"You could say that." He murmurs vaguely.

"What? Where are you?" Virgil immediately asks, offering comfort to Hayden who was in his arms.

"How do I put this?" Leon mutters to himself. "Well, you know how we've all thought that the little lady has hit mid life crises?"

"Um, yeah?" Virgil responds hesitantly, more than a little confused.

"Well, we were all wrong, she's got babies."

"I'm sorry, what? Where the fuck are you?" Virgil questions impatiently.

"V? What's going on?" Hayden tugs on his sleeve, worry shining in his eyes.

"I'm at the pantry and... Oh shit! Another baby!" Leon half screams, panicking.

"Got it." Virgil says hanging up.

He looks at the others who give him expectant gazes.

"Well, what is it?" Dream prompts impatiently.

"It's a surprise but Leon found her, she's at the second floor pantry."

"Oh, thank goodness..." Hayden sighs, already rerouting. "Well, what are we waiting for?" He prompts as he starts to hurry in that direction.

"Am I really needed anymore?" Ian asks blankly but Jaxon was having none of it, grabbing his taller friend's hand as he follows behind the others.

"Yes, you are, let's go!"

Virgil takes his time, letting Hayden and Dream take the lead, telling them would just ruin it all anyway.

They hear screams as they get closer, making sense of it only when they see the pantry door.

"Fuck it! Fucking hell! Just breath for me, kay? Shit... I mean shucks! Don't make that face..."

They all pause outside at this, shocked printed on their faces.

"Is that Leon?" Dream is the first to ask.
