Graham growled as he held me tightly against his chest. “Do it, let go. Spread that delicious cum all over my chest. Mark me as yours with your cum, Cooper,” he continued to growl as I let go and did as he said. He followed me over the edge not too much longer, coming deep inside me.

We sat there in my kitchen, face to face, sticky with a combination of maple syrup and cum. It didn’t take too long for the shine to wash off this erotic moment.

Leaning my head on his shoulder, I spoke softly. “Let’s get cleaned up. I want to show you around LA before you have to go back to Montana.”

“That sounds like a good idea, but let's shower together first. Who knows what might pop up in there that I might need to take care of,” he teased.

Insatiable….my alpha was just insatiable.

Chapter 21

Graham

As much as I knew I needed to go home—the word felt wrong when I quickly realized home was Cooper and wherever he was. But I’d been away from work for a week and a half, and I knew that my brothers would be pissed at me by now. Especially Rhys.

But even knowing all that, I wanted to change my flight yet again. I held my phone in my hand and turned it around over and over. I had only turned it on once when I arrived to let my family know where I was and get Rhys to cover for me, and then a second time to make sure everything was running smoothly.

I glanced towards the bathroom where my mate was showering and sighed.

It has to be done. Cooper and I both knew that we had to eventually pop the bubble we were living in.

I scrolled through the messages and sighed at the number. My Papa, Dad, Gabe, Austin, Hunter, Kian, Nash. Thankfully, I’d communicated with my staff via email, so I knew things were running smoothly. Even though I also had Rhys to thank for that, my brother would definitely let me know just how much I owed him.

I smiled sadly, seeing all the messages because I did miss my family, but my mate and our cub were my priority now.

I scrolled to one message I knew would be the least stressful.

Kian: Everyone is worried but ignore them. I know my sulky mate would have done the same thing. You okay? The kids miss you (but I think it’s just the cookies ). Oh, and Rhys has threatened you with bodily harm.

That one managed to make me laugh because I could definitely picture that. I didn’t blame everyone for being upset because I’d left on such short notice. Still, Kian was also right that Gabe would have done the same thing, so would Austin, Hunter, and Rhys, for that matter.

Graham: Stall for me. Please. I have a chocolate hazelnut ice cream cheesecake with your name on it. But let everyone know I’m fine and I’ll be back soon. You know no one ever gets mad at you.

I was about to put my phone away, but I got a ping almost immediately indicating that a message had come in.

Kian: Haha! Scared of little ol’ Rhys? I’ll cover, but I expect cinnamon rolls and blondie brownies with chocolate chip

Before I could reply, another message came in.

Kian: Now to the good part. How’s your mate? OMG! You’re going to be Dad. Congratulations Gray. I know you’ll be awesome. Beau & Rhett can’t wait to meet their new cousin.

Graham: He’s amazing. I didn’t know I could feel like this.

I knew Kian would understand what I meant. I’d seen how he was with my brother. Even Nash, my prickly brother-in-law, melted when Austin was around.

Kian: (You deserve it.)

Before I could reply, Cooper came out only wearing shorts, and I couldn’t help smiling. In the last few days, his stomach had developed a bit of a curve. And he looked beautiful. Gods, I hated the idea of not being with him all the time. I would miss so much. And there were days when he just didn’t feel good. He hadn’t had really bad nausea, but there were days when he just felt really exhausted.

The thought of not being there when he needed me… I wasn’t going to think about it.

But even though I wanted him to come with me, or I wished I could stay, he was right. I couldn’t just uproot everything. I knew he couldn’t. We’d talked about it, and neither of us knew where we would eventually end up.

He walked over to me and took a seat on our favorite seat for him, my lap.

“How are you feeling?” I asked.

He shrugged and sighed, “Okay, I guess.”
