Jason leans against the tree, legs stretched out before him. Ella is sitting in his lap, leaning against him, sleepily listening to him as he reads from the book in his hands. He'd taken her for a walk in the woods around the house, staying within the boundaries of the wards. They'd played in the lake for a bit and had a picnic.

Now he was reading her a bedtime story. Maybe 'Harry Potter' was a bit old for her, but at least she was paying attention.

"Thanks, hopefully it'll be a good night and we won't have to call in Gabe."

Nods.

"I've never worried about Scud, just like I wouldn't worry about you and him. It's..." Shrugs. "I don't, I just trust it."

Sighs, shaking his head.

"You want to hear something truly disturbing? I've figured out that it's the thought of me being with someone else, that he might have lost me, that triggered it the other night. And yet I would give up sex completely, let him go to whoever he wanted for it, as long as he didn't leave me."

Closes his eyes.

"I'm so fucked."

"I know Leela is bedding a man that beats her black and blue, to the point I have to draw her bath and I run out and get her pain killers. She is biding her time for her bruises from this bastard to heal so she can go back to the leech and regain his mark. She is likely, from the scents on her, bedding her double from this other world as well as, possibly, your other. I scent them both on her, and her arousal. And yet... I'm still there. In her bed. And I'll still go out and get meds and help her heal because someone not good enough to touch her, beats her and she gets off on it. In ways she can't from my controlled dominance. I can't give her that, Jason. And yet? I'm still here.

I know of being fucked. Trust me."

Pulls Zane to him, hugging him.

"So, we'll keep each other sane through all of this. Now, help me up, I think something vital fell asleep..."

Leans back, watching the other man for a second.

"Don't give up on her, whatever you do."

[changing-spots.livejournal.com]

Smiles, returning the hug tightly.

"Your cock can fall asleep? Man, that's a new one on me.' Smirking as he helps Jason up, his expression freezing.

"Not sure it's me that would be giving up, Jason. But... I'm not a monogamous man. I never will be. But I'm not her big brother slash fuckbuddy, there when she needs comfort or a fuck but little else. I can't live like that."

Flips Zane off smiling, then crouches down, picking up Ella. Winces when she stirs, relaxing only when she falls back asleep.

"So, let her know that, flat out. Grab my book for me?"

[changing-spots.livejournal.com]

Nods, picking up the book and trailing after Jason.

"Naw. She has her life. I have mine. Not like I've got much to offer. Just a sixteen year old kid with more knowledge of dominantion than I should have.'

Walks next to Zane, needing the closeness, the touch, still.

"You're a damn good friend, that counts more than anything."

[changing-spots.livejournal.com]

Leans against Jason, shoulders rubbing, not realizing how long it had been without contact with another who had the beast within.

"Yeah, well... Doesn't do you a fuck lot of good in the grand scheme of dating and shit."

Lets Zane open the door, and then heads for Ella's room, puttng the girl to bed. Walks silently back into the main room and looks at Zane.

"You know, you could curl up with Gabe and I tonight, if you wanted too."

He's quiet for a few seconds, then grins.

"And Scud."

[changing-spots.livejournal.com]

Going over, reaching through the bars to scritch Corona lightly. Still his back to Jason as the offer is made.

Laughing, grinning as he turns.

"Wondered if you knew they were both in there. And... I'd like that, man. Miss... Miss Nathaniel and the others."

Biting his lip, sudden tears in his eyes.

"Well, fuck me. Damn, sorry about that man. Must be more tired than I thought."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Shaking his head, walking over and hugging him.

"Sometimes, we forget that you're the youngest of us all... Come on, cuddle time in the big bed."

Winks at him and pulls him towards the bedroom.

[changing-spots.livejournal.com]

Snorting, rolling his eyes.

"Then how come I act the most adult? Huh? Explain me that."

Kicking off his boots as he goes, stripping down with abandon.

"And I think the blonde banging yer other is younger than me,' he notes in a whisper, waiting for Jason to curl up next to Gabe before crawling into bed.

"Don't remind me."

The words whispered as he curls up against Gabe, snuggling between the two leopards and falling asleep.
