Then why are you waking us up?" Theo groans against my leg


    "Because A, I''m hungry, and B, Dot was blowing up my phone to see if we needed her to bring Josie''s breakfast. So if I still have to get up early then so do all of you," he shrugs and walks away, and then I hear his bedroom door


    close.


    "Ass" Luke grumbles.


    "How do you feel?" Axel asks. I think about it before I answer his question. I don''t feel wild with the need to have an orgy. I just feel like I need to be near them all, I want them touching me, to feel them on my skin, but not in a sexual way.


    "Like I need to be near you all," I eventually say.


    "You''re still in the nesting stage. Which means lots of hugs and attention for you today," Luke cuddles further into me and I hum in contentment.


    "How about we all shower, have breakfast and thene back here and watch a movie whilst we shower you with affection?" Theo suggests.


    "Sounds perfect," I smile, really happy with the idea until they all start to get up. I have an overwhelming urge that I don''t want to be alone, even whilst I shower. I keep that need to myself though. It''s ridiculous to ask one of them to shower with me, plus I need to use the bathroom and that''s definitely not something I needpany for. I walk to the bathroom on shaky legs, feeling weaker with each step. By the time I get to the toilet, I feel terrible. Maybe I have the flu? It definitely feels like the flu. After I use the bathroom I turn on the shower and clean my teeth whilst the water heats. Taking off my clothes feels like such a huge effort and when I step into the shower my whole body starts to tremble. The hot water seems to help a little and I manage to shave and wash my hair before the feeling bes unbearable, I skip the conditioner and turn off the water. Maybe one of the guys can call a doctor for me? I wrap a towel around my body, pull open the bathroom door and stumble out of it.


    "Shit," I hear someone curse and then arms are wrapping around me before I can even raise my head to see who i is. "It''s okay, I''ve got you," Mason says as he lifts me bridal style and carries me to the bed. I close my eyes:


    s and rub my cheek against his chest, absorbing as much of his touch as possible before he dumps me on the bed. I whimper when I can no longer feel him against me and I open my eyes to look for him. He pulls off his t-shirt and crawls onto the bed to sit beside me before unwrapping my towel and lifting me onto hisp so I''m straddling him. I press my chest against his and he pulls the nket up to cover us. It''s not a sexual move, more of aforting one. If I wasn''t sick I''d probably be inplete shock about this but I''m too fever dazed to care. My skin against his is the best feeling in the world. It''s the only thing that matters right now. I''ve never felt so safe and content as he gently rubs his hand up and down my back.
