She paused and said, “I think so, but I definitely want to check out your family first. If they don’t want grandkids, I kind of need to know before this happens again.”

He smiled. “I am more than ready to have kids, and my family will be on board. Trust me on that. Mom keeps trying to set me up with friends of the family. This will shut her up.”

She blinked. “Oh. So, is there anyone you have been seeing?”

“Out here? No. I haven’t had a date or liaison in six months.”

“Is that why you are stuck?”

He shook his head. “I am stuck because as soon as I start to recede, your body flutters around me, and I am back to full alert.”

Nina swallowed. “So, lie back and think of England?”

“Maybe think of squid.”

“Okay, no sea cucumber.”

Kimo snorted, and she tried to close her eyes and slow the soft fluttering around him. She breathed shallowly and didn’t flinch when he started moving. He slowly slid out of her, and then she felt a rush. “What the fuck?”

Kimo laughed. “Oh, the look on your face.”

She looked at his amused features. She mumbled, “I wasn’t expecting that.”

“Obviously. My body has never pulled that particular move before. I wasn’t going to knot you at all, but it was out of my control.”

“Delightful. It feels like it’s stopping. Is it stopping?” She would look herself, but he was in the way.

He put a hand on her belly and slowly massaged it. She clenched, and another surge came out of her. “Damn it.”

He nodded and lifted her. “Let’s get you rinsed off, and I will change the sheets.”

“Oh, you do laundry, too? Cool.” She stood up when he set her on her feet and held onto her.

He smiled and turned the shower heads on, hitting her from all angles. Kimo stroked a finger against her sex, and she gripped him in reflex.

“What a clever and snug beta you are.”

She sighed. “Complimenting involuntary muscle and tissue reactions isn’t the flex you think it is.”

“I am just astonished. This is the kind of reflex that is associated with omegas.”

“Yeah, I know. It arrived with the tattoo. That was a weird week.”

Kimo continued stroking her soft skin.

“You are going to wear it out.”

He chuckled. “I don’t think I am.”

“You never know. Better safe than sorry.”

“I am very good with oysters and pearls.”

She paused and then started laughing. “I have seen your collection. You definitely are.”

“That’s just one cove on this island.”

Nina went up on her toes and shivered as she had a small climax.
