I pop off her tit long enough to say, “Feel her out in the bond. She’s good.”

“Goddamn,” Tanner growls. “Tell me I can move, firecracker. I’ve got to move.”

“Fuck me,” she begs as her pheromones flood the air. “It’s like an entire dick-long knot and it’s making me melty.”

Yeah, I can tell by the way she leans against my head as I bite and suck her nipple. Her cherry scent is everywhere, and it makes it incredibly hard to focus, but I work her clit exactly how I know she wants.

Her pleasure radiates in the bond as Tanner fucks her on Ranger’s cock. Being bonded is wild. I’m not inside her, but feeling her euphoria, and even hits from the guys, makes my cock jump.

We’ve become quite the cohesive team. The ultimate goal is we all get to enjoy ourselves, and feeling Laken totally blissed out really does it for me.

Ranger moves to capture her mouth, and I pull my head free to give them space. She’s been pretty consistently grinding with them, but I know she’s done for as she freezes.

“That’s it,” Tanner grunts. “Come all over us.”

Slick floods my fingers as I keep working her clit. She sobs, moaning ridiculously loudly. All of their pleasure floods the bond, and I chuckle as Laken quakes.

She tugs my hand away.

At the same time, Ranger tosses himself back against the mattress. “There are definitely plus sides to putting up with the two of you.”

I laugh, because he clearly means me and Tanner. “Indeed.”

The Day After Laken’s Due Date

“I’m fairly sure the universe is punishing her for every foul thing the three of us have ever done,” Ranger growls, pacing the floor bare near the hospital bed.

“You’re so dramatic these days.” Tanner laughs, running his hand over Laken’s swollen stomach.

“He really is.” She smiles, and it brightens the room, despite her exhaustion. “I thought I was the one who got a free pass to growl and snarl at everyone today.”

“You’re fine to curse and snarl,” I tell her.

“Please do,” Ranger rants. “It will make me feel less…” He frowns. “Guilty. However, that doesn’t make any sense. This is all your fault.” He points at me as he advances.

Tanner snorts, stepping into his path and placing a hand on Ranger’s chest. “Don’t go all feral alpha.”

“Why are you touching me?” Ranger growls. “Do you want me to break your hand? It’s very tempting to go for your throat.”

“Ohmigod.” Laken laughs. “Come sit next to me. You’re a giant ball of nerves.”

“You’re in the process of giving birth to our daughter. Of course, I’m stressed,” he growls, striding over and taking a seat next to her on the hospital bed.

“I love you,” she says, kissing him. “Cuddle with me.”

After nearly five hours, Aspen finally joins the family. She’s a chunky little bugger at almost eight-and-a-half pounds, but she still seems tiny.

Lyra and Laken have spoken a few times, but she’s back in Vegas and living her own life. I know it bothers Laken, but we’re surrounded by enough people that, hopefully, it fills the void of not having her sister here.

Annika and her pack, along with Vale and her guys, drop by the next day.

Annika makes sure to inform Laken that Karma has been having a blast and will come back spoiled rotten because Grady, of all people, doesn’t have the heart to kennel her at night.

“The last thing we need is that mutt expecting to sleep at the end of the bed every night,” Ranger mutters, rocking Aspen against his chest.

“Ohmigod, you’re like the crankiest of all cranky old men.” Annika laughs, bumping her shoulder against her brother’s. “She’s so sweet. She definitely got Laken’s eyes.”

Ranger nods, staring at her tiny face. “I’m going to end up in jail.”
