My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 71

Sterling

He stepped out onto the porch and his eyes went straight to Joy, kneeling beside the garden, pulling weeds. He leaned against the bannister as he waited for Slonsky and Casey to arrive. He knew she was working for Lukas and he had asked her to come spend time with Lily. Nobody had told Lily that her future sister in law was her mate’s secretary. They had opted to let Casey do that if she wanted. Sasha brought a tray of tea out and set it on the table. Joy looked up at her and smiled. Sasha poured the tea and Sommer ran out onto the porch.

“Is that your tes, Sasha?” She inhaled deeply as Sasha poured another mug. “It is,” she exclaimed excitedly. “Mama, come get some. This is so freaking good.”

Joy got up and wiped her hands on her shorts. Sterling moved towards the table, pausing beside the stairs to let his eyes run over Joy’s body. He hated that they had agreed to pretend like they had never-

“Dad, do you want some?”

His eyes snapped to his daughter as he nodded. “Sure.”

She handed him a cup before going back inside, Joy smiled at him and his heart sped up.

“I hear Casey is coming today.”

He nodded. “She is almost here

“That’s good. I’m sure the girls will enjoy her company.”

Sommer eyed them. “Y’all are being so weird.”

Joy glared at her. “What do you mean?”

Sommer rolled her eyes and snagged a cookie. “You have been here for years, Mom. Just fuck and get it over with. I’m gonna go and wait for Casey Inside. Fucking weirdos,” she mumbled as she went back inside.

Joy stared after her, before turning to look at the garden. She sipped her tea quietly until he stepped up beside her.

“Joy-”

“I think I will be leaving the clan,” she said, cutting him off.

His body jerked as if she had slapped him. “Why?”

“Because what we did all those years ago can’t happen again.”

She set her tea down and went back to tending her garden. He was about to say something when Casey landed in the yard and Slonsky slid off of her back. His feet hit the ground and he rolled his shoulders as she shifted back.

“Tell me again why you wanted a dragon?,” he asked.

She giggled. “Because, Daddy, all my siblings are dragons. Now, I don’t feel left out. I’m just happy that Lani could give me one. I love Jenna alot.”

She ran over to Sterling and threw herself into his arms. “Hey! I missed you, Papa,”

Sterling hugged her tight as Slansky walked over. “I missed you, too.”

She pulled away to beam up at him. “What time is Lily getting home?”

“In about an hour.”

“Where’s S

Sommer?”

He led her inside and went to the living room where Sommer sat reading a book. She looked up and shut her book

“Hey, Casey. Long time.”

Casey smirked. “My brother is a slave driver.”

Sommer laughed. “You’re just realizing this? I’ve known since the day

the day I met him,”

Sterling headed back outside, leaving the girls to gossip by themselves. He came to a stop when he saw Slonsky on his knees pulling weeds with Joy. Jealousy filled him and he stormed off the porch. Slonsky glanced at him with an eyebrow raised as he went by. He refused to admit that the fear of them choosing to be together without him had been bothering him a lot lately.

Now, Joy was talking about leaving the clan. Was she planning on going to Deegan to be with Slonsky? His jaw clenched. If they did, he would move the entire planet to convince them they all belonged together. He walked down the driveway to where the road broke off in a fork with one leading directly to Lily’s school and the other deeper into the clan territory. He made it to her school just as she was leaving the grounds. She grinned at him as she ran

“Dad. I didn’t know you were coming,”

“I didn’t know I was either.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah. Just needed to get away from the castle, I figured since we hadn’t spent much time together lately, that I would walk you home.”

“Okay.” They started walking in silence and after a few minutes she sighed. “Have you heard from Lukas?”

“No and yes. What are you asking about?”

“Does he talk about me?”

“Every time. He asks how you are d

doing. He loves you very much.”

“He visits me in my dreams every night.”

“Does he?”

“Mhmm. He shows me some of his memories.”

He tensed. “Does he?”

She nodded. “Most of them are good.”

“I wasn’t always a good father, Lily.”

She leaned against his shoulder. “I know. Lukas told me that for a long time you were spelled and that after that there was damage to your relationships that made it remain bad.”

He glanced at her. “You and Lukas seemed to have gotten close.”

She smiled softly. “We understand each other more.”

“That’s good.”

She linked their arms together. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Is the advice you give me good advice?”

“Yes. Why?”

love them, you shouldn’t either.”

She kissed his cheek and dashed over to Slonsky. “Hey, Papa Slonsky! Where’s Casey?”

“Inside with Sommer.”

He turned his attention back to the garden. She touched his shoulder.

“Can you help me with something?”

“Sure.”

He got up to assist her. She led him several yards away and dropped her bags. She took a defensive stance and he laughed.

“Sasha’s been teaching you, has she?”

“Yep. I heard you were her teacher and I want to beat you up.”

He smirked. “You can try.”

Sterling leaned against the bannister as he watched them spar

them spar for a whil

while. Joy got up and went inside. Lily glanced at him and gestured to the door.

“Go after her, Dad. You deserve to be happy, too. He shook his head, but she pushed her aura out ‘Go tell her you love her,”

She knocked Slonsky onto the ground and laughed in his face. He got up.

“Again!”

Sterling sighed as Lily glared at him threateningly. He held his hands up in surrender and went to find joy. He stopped outside of her door and hesitantly pushed it open. She froze, staring at him as she held her shirt up to her chest. He shut the door quietly behind him, before approaching her.

“Sterling.. what are you”

He took her in his arms and pulled her close to kiss her. Her shirt dropped to the floor as she melted against him, kissing him back. Her fingers moved through his hair and she moaned softly. He pulled back slightly.

*I have watched you for years, loy. I have seen you with our Lily and I’ve fallen more in love with you every time. She has come so far and she wants love even after everything. Can’t we just take a page from her book and be happy together? No hidden agendas or hiding our feelings. Tell me you don’t feel something for me and I will leave.”

She sighed. “I don’t lie to people, Sterling. You know I tried that.” She touched the top of his temporary mark. “And you saw straight through it.”

He picked her up and took her to the bed where he slowly stripped the rest of her clothes off, leaving kisses along her body. She pulled his shirt off and he let his pants drop. She gulped when she saw his already erect cock.

“I’ve wanted you for a long time,” he murmured, stroking his cock.

She leaned forward to run her tongue over his abs and licked his tip. He groaned. She took his tip in her mouth, sucking hard. He bucked, pushing his length into her mouth. She giggled around his shaft and blinked up at him innocently as she slid down on him again.

“Fuck!”

He pulled away to lay her on her side. He bent her top leg at her knee and slapped her ass as he slid inside of her. She cried out and he bent down to swallow her next set of moans as he thrust into her repeatedly. She rocked her hips, riding his cock and he moved faster.

“Toy,” he growled. “Be mine.”

She wrapped her arm around his neck and kissed him deeply. He closed his eyes as her pussy started to squeeze his cock. His hands went to her hip to hold her still as he slammed into her harder.

“Sterling!,” she moaned.

He lowered his head to capture a nipple and rolled it between his teeth. Her back arched and she exploded around him. Her juices ran down his shaft and he groaned, pushing deep to let his cum fill her. He landed on top of her, panting. She ran her fingers through his hair.

“I think I’ve been yours since that night you walked into my

He kissed her shoulder. “Good.”

“Dad. Lani is looking for you.”

He rolled his eyes. ‘I’m busy.‘

“Stop banging Joy, Dad, Lani needs help with the girls.”

He growled. “Stay in your lane, child.‘

restaurant.”

She laughed. ‘Whatever, Dad. Five minutes or I’m coming and dragging you out myself. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Sasha cut their link and he cursed. He pulled out of Joy and stood up. He quickly got dressed as she watched him amused.

“Sasha7

He nodded. “How did you- she linked you, too, didn’t she?”

She grinned. “Sure did.”

“Can I come back tonight?”

She trailed her fingers up his arm. “I suppose so, if we’re gonna give this a go.”

He leaned to peck her lips again. “I’ll see you in a

abt.”

He tucked his shirt in on the way to the door and glanced over his shoulder at her, grinning like a fool when she blew him a kiss. He opened the door and came face to face with Slonsky who was about to knock on her door. He narrowed his eyes and stepped into the hall as Slonsky backed away.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were with her,” he told Sterling

Sterling flicked a piece of imaginary dirt off of his shirt. “What do you want with her?”

“Nothing now.”

Sterling eyed him. “You want her, don’t you?”

“I did, yes.”

Sterling eyed him and leaned forward to lift Slonsky’s shirt up. Magdon growled an aroused growl when his mark was still etched into Slonsky’s skin. “If she’ll have you, go for it, but I’m not going anywhere. Not this time.”

The door opened behind him. “Sterling? Donald? What’s going on?”

Sterling eyed Slonsky. “Yeah, Donald, what’s going on?”

“1. ummm.” He shifted nervously. “I was just coming to say.. Umm.”

“He wanted to be with you,” Sterling told her.

“What?”

Slonsky rubbed his neck. “Sorry. I‘

Sterling shrugged. “I told him if you would have him, that’s okay with me. I learned my lesson trying to make my mates turn their back on someone else they want.” He shrugged. “But just know I’m not going anywhere, nor will I not fight for you.”

He turned towards her to kiss her lips. “I’m saying that if you want both of us, you can have both of us, just tell me right now,”

She looked at Slonsky, before slowly nodding. “None of us have mates anymore…”

“Okay

so you know, I will be back in a few hours. If you are here or not here, I am coming back to make love to her. I will be in her bed tonight, so you make your decisions based on that information.”

He walked away, leaving them standing there in shock. He was curious to see exactly what their decision would be. He jogged downstairs to where Lily held Lucy in her arms. She eyed him.

“How’d the advice go?”

He

her a smile. “It has always been the best advice I’ve ever given.”
