Chapter Text
You flinched at the loud bang the door made when Zeek slammed it with his foot. Though you were both back home it seemed that he was still upset about what happened. Sure it hurt where she kicked you and the scratch on you stung but it wasn’t like you had not felt pain like this before. Your old owner was nice at times but there were times when they weren’t as well. Times where they came home angry and upset. Times where they grabbed you roughly and placed you into the dark box because the sight of you pissed them off even more. The one time where they actually hurt you badly was just before that person came and kidnapped you. They kicked you as well. Sending you across the small living room to where you hit the entertainment table. The corner of it striking your back right on your spine. At first you weren’t able to move let alone breathe, but after a few hours of being on the floor after your owner left you were able to crawl yourself underneath the couch. That’s where you stayed for the next day or two as you dealt with the ache in your back and try to get your mobility back again.
Lifting your small hand you placed it on Zeek’s cleanly shaved chin. His sharp eyes looked down towards you before softening. They looked tired and honestly you couldn’t blame him for feeling that way after the day you two had so far. He then sighed through his nose but did not say anything as he walked the two of you into the house. You knew he wanted to tell you something but you also knew that if he did he would more than likely would want an actual answer from you than just a nod or a shake of your head. But due to your lack of voice he would have to save it for another day. For now however, his own voice was set on calling out the boys. He was sure that they would want to see you immediately but as Zeek walked into the living room neither one of them were to be seen. Axe wasn’t in his usual spot on the couch and Crooks was not around either.
“Weird.” Zeek said turning towards the kitchen to place the bags onto the table. “Its odd not seeing them in the front.”
Placing you down onto the table next to the bags he looked around once more to see if there was any sign of the other two before giving a shrug of his shoulders. Perhaps it was a good thing that they weren’t there at the moment. If Axe saw how your cheek looked right now then you were sure he would have a fit. Breeder Readers weren’t supposed to be out and about without their males let alone the Alpha ones. That being paired with the fact that you had been hurt while they weren’t there was a serious blow to any male’s ego, pride, and status. Perhaps that was why Zeek was curious as to know where they were? Surely they would have came to check on you after hearing the door close. But as Zeek went to grab the first aid kit from a cabinet and come to sit in front of you it seemed like neither of the boys would come.
What could they have been doing? Surely Axe did not actually leave the house to follow you right? If that was the case then he could still be out there somewhere! Running around in the city was dangerous! He could get hurt or get lost!
Worry ate away at your chest as you held still long enough for Zeek to clean the cut on your cheek. The sting of the medicine he put on it wasn’t bad. It was mostly itchy. A stinging itch that made your hand twitch where it lay on your lap. Your eyes though kept looking around. Searching for a sign of the two you wanted to see and presumably give the two gifts you had brought back for. Which should be in the bag next to you as you had seen Zeek put the gifts in when he got out of the car with you.
A creak of some sort of wood had you snap your head towards the living room. The quick movement made your neck hurt and it caused Zeek to have to pull the q-tip he was using away. Yet when you looked over to where the noise came from you did not see anything nor anyone. That in itself made you a little weary. After the day you had and the way your body was aching you weren’t in the mood for anything to be sneaking up on you. Honestly speaking all you wanted to do was thank Zeek for taking care of you and then go take a long nap. Perhaps eat something to like those cookies you had earlier but right now you were more tired than anything. Hence why when you still saw nothing you tried your best to let out at least a somewhat believable threatening growl. Now to a Bitty smaller than you or a pup it would have served as a good warning but apparently in this house it only made the creatures living in it find it amusing. To Zeek as well apparently. His snort of a snicker drew your attention back to him especially when both his hands came to scoop you up.
Bringing you up to his face to place a kiss on the top of your head. He cooed something to you that you couldn’t yet understand before the weight of the table shifted with a groan as something climbed onto it. This time, as you placed your tiny hands onto Zeek’s face to get him to move away since his longish hair was making a curtain around you, you were able to see that it was Crooks that made the noise as he stood himself straight after climbing onto the table. Upon seeing him you calmed down slightly.
“Im Glad To See You’re Back.” He said coming up to you and Zeek. Yet upon closer inspection as he stood next to you he saw the damage to your cheek and how red it was. “Oh My Goodness! What Ever Happened!?” He asked shocked to see you hurt when you were to have gone to a place that was supposed to make you feel better.
You heard Zeek speak no doubt explaining to Crooks what had happened and you could see the Bitty’s face grow unhappy.
“Brother Won’t Be Happy To Hear About This. It’s Bad Enough He Already Started To Gather Things For His New Nest.” Crooks mumbled as he moved a few strands of your overgrown hair away from the sticky medicine.
A nest? That doesn’t sound half bad right now. Something deep and soft to where you could sleep comfortably. Something warm enough to keep the chill of the night away. Perhaps you should make one for yourself. If allowed you could make one with that fluffy blanket you woke up on earlier. Now that would make for some good nesting material. A lot of it too. No doubt if you made it right you could even make it into one that had a tunnel. Something that would keep out more light than you wanted while keeping in all of the heat. Oh yeah that sounded really nice. The thing though was that you wondered why you getting your cheek messed up would affect the nest that Axe was making. It’s not like you were going to take it away from him. If anything, you should be the one asking if it was ok for you to be taking things to build your own.
Zeek huffed out something that you weren’t still able to understand that made Crooks a little embarrassed. Setting you down onto the table Zeek moved his attention to what you think he was talking about. Which was something to do inside of the bags you all brought.
“Yes I Suppose You Are Right. To Be Fair Though, At Least He Is Not Bringing Creature Parts In This Time Around.” Crooks said with a slight grimace.
Zeek then reached over to the bags pulling out what you had gotten from the vet’s office. First was the small plush toys. The shark and the oar fish were set to the side to which you made your way to excitedly pick them up. Then there was the medicine and the box of the so called birth control bracelets. Those were set aside and the medicine for your throat was what he had decided to open. You didn’t pay much attention to him as he read the warning and directions letter that came with it. Instead, you ushered for Crooks to come over. Your little hand and smile beckoning him to come and see what you had.
“What Is It Dearest?” He asked as he watched you hold out the longest of the stuffed toys to him. He gently took it and once he realized what it was he looked back over to you. “Is This For Me?”
You nodded and you heard Zeek say something adding to his question which made the male bitty blush a bit.
“How Considerate Of You. I Will Make Sure To Treasure It As The First Gift Given To Me By My Favorite Female.” Crooks said as he set the toy aside to wrap his long arms around you gently to give you a loving and affectionate hug. To which you returned.
You let go of Crooks when you saw Zeek offer you a clear plastic cup looking item with numbers etched on the side of it. The contents were a clear pink like liquid that, when you gave it a sniff, would no doubt taste weird. You looked up at Zeek pleadingly not wanting to drink it but after he had spoke and Crooks translated saying that it would make your throat better you sadly brought the plastic to your lips. As you had thought it did not taste all that pleasant. If anything it made you feel queasy but knowing that if you stopped half way then Zeek would no doubt make you drink the rest of it not long later.
Setting the plastic down after you chugged almost all of It you let out a “blegh” and then proceed to push the cup as far away from you as you could. You heard Zeek let out a chuckle before he cooed at you. His words telling you that he was feeling a bit bad for making you have to drink it. Thankfully though he decided to give you a reward for getting it all down.
You watched as Zeek moved away from the table and over to a cabinet. When he had opened it you saw the same bag of cookies that Axe had given to you earlier. You perked up at the sight. You wouldn’t mind getting some more of those. If anything you could really use them right about now. Yet instead of reaching into the bag full of prepackaged cookies he instead reached into a box that was on the shelf below. There was a crinkle sound as he moved his hand inside of the box and when he pulled it out you saw that it was one of those candies that had a stick in it. You knew very well that it was something sweet from the shows and commercials you had seen on the tv. Granted you never understood what they would say about them all you knew was that they came in a big variety of flavors and people usually sucked on them before tossing the stick.
When Zeek came back to the table you excitedly walked over to where he has and gently took the treat when he handed it to you. You looked at it in awe for a moment mesmerized by the colorful wrapping which was purple. Unfortunately, you did have a bit of a time trying and failing in attempting to get said wrapper off. It was actually annoying you how tightly wrapped up it was. Why would it be so hard to open? Feeling frustrated after a bit you turned to where Crooks still was and padded over to him while raising the candy up with a pleading look.
Crooks let out a small amused hum before taking the candy from you and skillfully opening it. “Here You Are.” He said handing it back to you.
It was indeed purple just like what was on the wrapper. And the taste reminded you of the berry that the human left out of the fridge one time. The ones you had sneaked a few of and scarfed down before she came back to the kitchen when she heard you in it. Thankfully there was no reason for you to panic eat it. The treat was not going anywhere nor was anyone going to take it away from you.
Time went by after you had the sucker. You and Crooks stayed in the kitchen while Zeek went around putting stuff away and certain on making dinner for all of you. Crooks helped him out rather than you. Especially since you were feeling a tad bit tired. You doubted you would be of any help either. There was a chance that even if you weren’t sleepy you were either going to hurt yourself or mess up whatever they were working on. Hence why you stayed back trying to keep your eyes open even as a good yawn forced itself out of you.
Perhaps a nap wouldn’t be that bad. You were sure they would wake you up when they were done. Although, sleeping on the table didn’t seem so comfortable.
Peeking over the edge you tried to see how high up you were only to pull back after a short look. Oh yeah, the dark wood and elegantly carved table was definitely high. It made you wonder how Crooks even managed to get up it. Perhaps it was his height? Or maybe he was just that agile to get up and around. You decided to try the chair at least to see if you could scramble down. They seemed padded so if you did loose your grip you wouldn’t land to hard. The problem was that as you came to the edge and turned and tried to lower yourself down you didn’t feel the cushion of the chair under your bare feet. Your foot swinging and trying to find the seat of the chair before your strength in your arms gave out.
It seemed the sound of the grunt you let out from frustration alerted Zeek of your attempted table escape. His click of his tongue and his soft voice making you look up as he came back to you. He easily picked you up and brought you to his chest but instead of taking you to the living room or setting you on the floor he brought you with him to set you onto the counter. To which you gave a tired huff before you looked around. There was surprisingly a good amount of space on the counter and it had some pretty nice looking kitchen appliances and nick knacks. But you weren’t really to interested in them. More so you were trying to see if there was a spot comfortable enough for you to attempt to sleep in. Fortunately you did find one. A spot where there was an empty wooden carved bowl that had a kitchen towel neatly folded and laid inside.
Shuffling over you came to find that the towel was clean unlike the ones your old owner used to have. The crusty and smelly things being tossed to you to use as a blanket when she first got you. Thankfully this one seemed softer as you touched and picked it up. Letting out another long yawn you slipped yourself into the bowl and cuddled into the towel. The warmth from the sun and the heat Zeek was using to cook made it easy for you to sleep.
Axe gave a grunt when he finally placed the basket he was using for the frame of your new nest in the spot he finally decided on. He wasn’t the type to be picky where he slept, but when it came to you and where you were going to have his pups that’s where he started to become fickle. You needed a spot that was quiet, away from the human and his partner, and where he could easily teleport to you whenever you needed him. Hence why he chose what he considered to be the safest room in the large house.
The room in question was on the top floor. Its ceiling was slanted and had a good-sized window faced where the sun was. It was plenty bright but what made the room perfect for you was that it had a hidden space at the wall where the slant was. The space wasn’t so very hidden and could be easily opened by the human but the good thing about it was that It ran deep into the wall. There was no way Zeek could get himself all the way back there and even if he had managed to contort himself to actually do so then all he had to do was put up a small barrier.
Grabbing the blanket he had brought along with him Axe put the final touches onto the basket by placing a good amount inside of the basket itself and allowed the excess to drape over the top like a little canopy. He smirked when he tugged the two edges that would serve as the exit flaps closed. The length he had them would allow you to keep unwanted eyes away and the light as well even though there wasn't very much in the small space to begin with.
A rumble of pride tickled his chest once he was done. Stepping back, he took a good look at it before turning his attention to the small stack of dry snacks he had brought as well. He was planning on stashing them away for when you did start your heats. You were obviously going to need to eat during the small breaks between him filling you with his magic. Granted him as well but not as much as you. He will easily put his hunger for food aside if it meant he could eat something else instead. Though as he looked at the stack, he could tell that he was still lacking. Perhaps the next time that the human went out to get food he would go with. You certainly seemed to enjoy the chocolate snacks so perhaps he could find you something of similar taste. Heh, and the added sugar would serve well to fatten you up faster. In fact, he was sure Zeek had a chocolate bar hidden away in the kitchen somewhere. One of those 1lb ones that he ate when he thought no one was looking. Axe knew you would enjoy destroying it hence why he teleported himself to the kitchen to get it.
Unfortunately for him the human was already home and in the kitchen as well. The happy look on his face fell at the thought that he would have to wait a good while till he could get the candy up into the room for you. Speaking of, looking around from where he had teleported himself to, which was under the table, he couldn't see where you were. You definitely weren't on the table itself but he could sense that you were still close by. Like really close.
Seeing Zeek coo at something and then pulling out his phone Axe teleported on the counter there. That’s where he found you cuddled up and napping rather heavily. Axe breathed a silent sigh knowing that you were here in the house. For a moment he had thought that the vet had kept you. He wouldn’t know for how long and that alone made his Soul churn. A few minutes or even an our or two would be fine, but a whole day or more? It’s what made him brush past Zeek’s elbow as the human was trying to snap a few more pictures of you while you slept.
“Careful with her, she’s had a rough day.” Zeek said after sending the picture he took to someone on his phone.
Axe tsk’ed as if to say that he already knows but when he saw the new scratch that appeared on your cheek he stilled his hands as they were about to scoop you up. “happened?” He asked with a bit of a bite to his tone.
“A Karen, but I handled it. The medicine she took from the vet is why she’s tired. Said it would make her sleepy.” Zeek said ignoring Axe’s tone and went back to work on making dinner. “If you’re going to take her then bring her back when dinner is ready. She needs to eat something other than just snacks today.”
Axe merely gave him a grunt as his arms went back to trying to pick you up. Which was easy since you were so light. He made sure not to jostle you to much even though the annoyed groan you let out was actually pretty cute. Thankfully for you he didn’t mess with you to much as he let you rest your head on his shoulder. That and he made quick work in teleporting you to where the new nest was.
At first Axe thought the blip would have woken you. The small travel though the void making him puke for the first time he himself had done it. Then again he was awake and he had kept his eyes open. The flash of nothing and then appearing into what is considered to be everything making his non existent stomach churn something foul. Though here you were still asleep as he lifted the makeshift curtain to lay you along with himself down into the well and fully padded bedding. A sigh left him as he used his magic to close the opening allowing the two of you to be fully encased in the darkness of the nest while bringing you closer so that you were still laying on him yet still on the bedding and him as well.
Axe watched you as you slept. The dark didn't bother him being able to do so. His Horror trait giving him the advantage of excellent night vision. You on the other hand wouldn't be able to see, he knew that for sure, but he wasn't to worried for that. If you did wake up and panicked, he would merely let you know that you were here with him and all would be well.
You slept so soundly for a good while. Far more than he had expected and longer than he was sure Zeek would have liked. Obviously because Zeek wanted you to eat but seeing as how you had slept way past dinner and almost well into the night Axe was sure that Zeek merely put your food away to eat later. He highly doubted that he would throw it away but Axe was not going to wake you up just to eat knowing that you needed sleep. Which was why every time you started to squirm from whatever you were dreaming of, he would immediately sooth you back into that deep sleep. His hands running up and down your back and your thigh making sure to keep them where they shouldn't. Though the thought of it was tempting.
Pleased rumbles crawled their way out of Axe's chest as he recalled how receptive you were earlier. The way you allowed him to kiss and touch you so freely and letting your walls down so easily for him made him want to see just how far he could push his limits with you. How far would you allow him to go? How much did you actually trust him to keep himself in check. If he was talking about himself he would say he did not trust himself for shit. Even now as you slept his hand was rubbing circles over your ass. His fingers twitching every now and again in an attempt to keep himself from sliding it under the waist band of your pants. How tempting it would be to see if even in your sleep if you would be just as receptive as you were when you were awake.
A soft mumble of a groan made him bring his eyes to your face. You had a pained expression on your face making him wonder what you were dreaming of that was upsetting you as your little hand gripped his jacket. Was it of the night you came that you were thinking of or was it the supposed incident today that had happened that made you upset. He huffed at the fact that you were having such a bad time whenever you left this house. Granted you had not been here for more than a week it still frustrated him that you had such bad luck. It made him just want to keep you here. Inside this little space hidden from the outside world where no one but he and his brother, and Zeek if he really was being a pain in the ass about it, would find you.
Pulling you up he resituated you so that you were now fully laying on him. His own weight sinking into the padding further now that your small body was on his. Your head tucked under his with your nose brushing against the underside of his chin. Your arms instinctively wrapped around what you could of his neck which caused you to snuggle closer into him. Axe purred at that. The action causing you to expose your neck to him just begging for him to do something to it. The saliva inn his mouth already building as he nuzzled his jaws against it. His sharp teeth brushing over the warm exposed skin.
Should he take the chance? Would you let him if he teased you a bit? If so, how far would he be able to get before you pushed him away?
The slight glow of his tongue slid across your skin before the wet appendage actually did. Flattening out as he moved it up towards your back before coming back down close to your collar bone to repeat the prosses over again. He felt his body tingle to life as he tasted you. Your flavor being that only a Breeding Bitty would own. A taste that immediately had his cock forming in his shorts. You were just a bit to high up to rub against it though. It would have been nice to feel your crotch pressed against it as he bucked against you. Even if you weren't physically ready to go all the way he would still love to feel the lips of your sex on it. A growl of a huff blew across your neck as he envisioned the day that he would finally be able to mate with you. The sight of you on top of him trying your best to take as much of him in as you could. He wasn't sure if you would be able to but the thought alone of you enveloping his cock all the way to the base where his knot was already formed had him wanting to wake you up to see if you could. Watch your body light up as his tip pressed against your cervix, the weeping head demanding to release his magic into your womb.
Another growl left him as he felt his cock throb in his shorts painfully and before he knew it he had already started to try and pull your pants down. His hands sliding them off of you with ease and tossing them somewhere inside the makeshift nest before coming back to grab fists full of your ass. He groped them for a bit before spreading them apart just enough for his fingers on his left hand to slide town and brush against your sex. Being mindful of his claws as he teased the lips letting your damp flesh wet them. Though he was able to gather more when he pushed two of his fingers past them to then press and circle your entrance.
Axe did not think about it as he slid a finger into you other than how wet and tight you were. How warm your insides were and how even though he was mostly exploring right now your walls were already starting to clamp down on it. What made his finger twitch inside of you was when he heard you let out a small whimper. The sound like the jingle of a bell only spurring him on to continue. This time however he actually started to finger you gently. Pressing and rubbing at your insides until you whimpered again when he found the bundle of nerves inside.
At this point you were actually starting to squirm in his hold. Your hips twisting and turning either trying to get him to go deeper or to pay more attention to that one particular spot. Your breath, which he could feel against his bones, was also starting to come out ragged. Soft pants mixed with little mews and whines. Though all the fun and enjoyment that Axe was getting from playing with you stopped once you bolted upright.
Wide shocked and confused eyes flashed around the darkness of the nest unable to focus on anything. Without having enough magic your eyes would not be able to see as well at night as a normal bitty should let alone as well as a Horror bitty. And the fact that you were in an unknown dark place being teased and fingered by someone you can't see didn't help either. Which was why Axe quickly sat himself up lowering you onto his lap and wrapped his arms around you once more before letting out a reassuring purr. The rumble letting you know that he was with you and that you were in a safe space. It did take you a moment to calm back down. Your breathing coming back down as you focused on the fact that you were sitting half naked on the lap of this large male.
A blush that only Axe could see burned your face as you pieced together what he had been doing and why there was a familiar feeling of something hard underneath you. You were curious and since you had regained some of your composure you tried to reach your hand down to feel it. Tried being heavily implied as his hand stopped yours by bringing it up to his chest.
For the sake of your physical wellbeing Axe would stop you and what he had been doing to you for the night. If he allowed you to touch him, he was sure that whatever happened he would not be able to control himself during it. So instead, he brought his face down to press his teeth against your lips in the hopes you would pay more attention toward his upper half instead.
