“I never thought to ask, have any of y’all ever skated before?” I inquire as I finish tying up my laces.
“I played hockey when they had the permanent ice rink here. I tried getting them to learn and play with me, but Orin was the only one who could stay on his feet. Hopefully, they will do better now than when we were ten,” Callum chuckles.
The others all glare at him while I burst out laughing. “Oh, this is going to be hilarious, isn’t it?” I snicker as they all try to stand up on wobbly legs. This is going to be a great day.
I help the kids stand up once Orin comes back with the walkers. Once they each have a good grip on one, Orin, Callum, and I each help them get on the ice. They actually are holding up pretty well, and surprisingly even Vivian isn’t having as much trouble.
I’m holding on to Arden’s walker, while Callum has Lochlan’s, and Orin has Vivian’s. The other three are walking, clutching their way along the wall. Going by the cursing and bitching I hear, it’s not going well. A sudden shout causes me to look back, and I see Odin on his ass, glaring at my grandmother.
“Why did we have to go ice skating? Why not regular skating?” he grumbles.
“Stop whining and get off your ass. You’ll get the hang of it. Well, maybe. However, I’ll never let you live it down if the kids can do it and you can’t.” She winks and cackles as she skates off.
She really is going to pick on them until the day she dies. Hell, I still get teased for getting lost all the time. The kids, however, are loving this, and I’m impressed they are catching on so quickly. After about twenty-five minutes of skating, I’m confident that Arden has a good grasp on how to skate so I push his walker to Odin, who flashes me the finger to show his gratitude.
I hold Arden’s hand for another ten minutes. “Mom, you can let go. I want to try by myself,” he says as he pulls away from me cautiously.
“Okay, baby. Just remember, to stop you have to point your foot, or turn to the side like I showed you.” I let go of his hand and skate beside him for a minute. He’s doing amazing, so I pick up speed and decide to show off a little bit. I do a couple spins and small jumps. Nothing too crazy since I’m a tad rusty and I don’t want to risk falling. In between, I make sure to keep checking on the kids. They are easy to find because the rink isn’t crazy busy, since ice skating isn’t super popular here anymore.
On my next pass, I skate to a stop in front of Odin. He seems to be the only one still struggling. “Here, sir, give me your hands.” I hold my hands out to him and watch as his eyes become full of heat. I start skating backwards, pulling him along.
We unfortunately haven’t been able to explore the sub and dom stuff as much anymore since the gun shot because of him being overly cautious of hurting me, but I miss having that with him. We also need to have everyone sit down and talk about the fuck fest we had this morning. I know obviously Silas and Callum have always been attracted to men, and Bodie has had conflicting feelings due to his childhood abuse. However, I don’t want anyone to be uncomfortable or feel like they are being forced into something.
Hopefully, this new development won't cause issues.

Ican tell the moment Isla gets lost in her head, so I lean in and kiss her, making sure to softly bite her lip, since I know that drives her crazy. She shakes her head, seeming like she’s trying to clear it, then gives me a blinding smile.
“What’s on your mind, Babygirl?” I ask, trying to keep my feet under me. I really hate ice skating.
“Was this morning too much? I mean, neither you nor Orin have really shown any interest in being with the other three. I don’t want anyone to be uncomfortable, have any regrets, or feel like they are being pushed into anything. Plus, I’ve missed the different dynamics we all had and everything kind of just stopped after the shooting and finding out I was pregnant. I miss it.” She finishes with a sad look on her face. I feel like shit for not realizing she felt this way. I grab the wall to pull myself to a stop, She stops next to me looking confused as to why we are stopping.
“To answer the first bit, I don’t really think I’m bi. However, I have never been in a position to try it. I’ve always said I’d try anything once, so as long as it’s not my twin touching me, I’m fine with things being a free-for-all in the bedroom.” I stop to think about it for a second. “Well, I don’t think I want a dick in my ass, but I’m willing to let you try anal play with me and see if it’s something I’d like.”
She seems thoughtful for a moment. “I’m always willing to try new things with y’all. Duh you and Orin wouldn’t have to touch each other; incest isn’t a thing I think I’d ever be into.” She shudders at the thought.
I clear my throat and pull her in so I can whisper in her ear. “Now for the other part, I’d love nothing more than to have you butt naked and tied up all pretty for me to have my way with. I’ll have to make that happen soon, won’t I, Babygirl?” I suck her earlobe into my mouth and bite down hard enough to hear a soft moan leave her lips.
“That’s not very nice, Sir. Teasing me when it’ll be hours before I can scratch this itch,” she pouts.
Callum comes skating up beside us and notices her face. “Aww, Kitten, why are you sulking?”
I turn and give him a smirk. “It seems our beautiful wife has been feeling neglected and misses all the dirty things we were doing to her.”
He gives her a look full of pure heat. “Well, I think we will have to rectify that, soon hopefully. Now give her to me. It’s my turn to skate with her.” He pulls Isla from my arms and takes off with her. I can hear her laughing as they skate around the rink.
Silas skates up next to me when they are out of earshot, and I notice he looks nervous. “So, uh, I kind of overheard what Isla said, and I feel like I need to apologize. I didn’t have consent to touch anyone but Isla and Callum, so I should have checked that it was okay with y’all before I took it that far.”
I pull him to a stop and move to the wall so we are out of the way and I don’t have to worry about falling. “No, you don’t need to do that. If you heard her, then you heard what I had to say, too. I know things got really heated and intense, and I’m not mad or upset with you. It was stuff that happened in the moment. I don’t care who touches me, or who I touch as long as Isla is around and involved too, so don’t beat yourself up. We never actually set up rules or boundaries for our whole group when it comes to the bedroom.”
“Do you think I should talk to Bodie and Orin too, and make sure I didn’t overstep with them?” he asks, looking over to where they are skating next to each other.
“How about on the drive home? We can get Emma to ride with Isla and the kids, then we all will take Emma’s car, so we can discuss our boundaries. Will that make you feel better?” I ask, cuffing a hand around his neck and pulling him in closer.
“Yeah, I think it would. I just want everyone to be happy and for this to not cause problems for anyone.” He sighs.
“Okay, I’ll go ask Emma if we can take her car. Why don’t you go play with the kids?” I suggest as I make my way very wobbly to Emma’s side.
