“Wouldn’t want that,” Cade grunted, thrusting up into me as he sucked on my neck with renewed vigor.

He pulled back and slammed back into me at the same time that I felt his teeth piercing my neck. I let out a sob of happiness as I felt his emotions crashing into me, sending me into an instant orgasm as our souls connected to each other; finally. A rightful peace settled in my soul. This was what how this was supposed to feel like.

“Mine,” Cade growled, pulling back and looking down at me with so much emotion in his eyes. “My mate.”

“Yours. Always yours,” I promised him.

Cade withdrew and slid back into me, picking up the pace. He buried his face in my neck, exposing his to me.

“Claim me, Princess,” he begged, unnecessarily because my canines were already descending.

I licked the water falling on his neck, making Cade buck beneath, his rhythm faltering for a moment before he slammed back into me. I sunk my teeth into his neck, feeling the bond between us strengthen and snap tight, merging our souls into one. Cade pulled back and kissed me hard, slamming me down on his cock over and over until I cried out as another orgasm crashed over me.

“Fuck. You take my cock so well, My Queen,” Cade grunted, slamming me back down on his cock one last time, feeling hiscum fill my channel. I rested my head on his shoulder as our breathing settled.

“I’m going to be in so much trouble with your doctor for making you do strenuous activities,” Cade chuckled into my neck. “And, your dad is probably going to kill me for marking you so soon.”

“Worth it,” I whispered, making him laugh.

“Damn right, it was.”

Cade helped me shower and change into a clean hospital gown he’d found under the sink. We lay down on the beds after, and I quickly fell asleep wrapped up in his arms.

Ifelt someone hovering above me as I woke, and tensed. I opened my eyes and was relieved to see it was only Valeria.

“Morning,” I mumbled.

“Good morning, Bells. How are you and Coyo feeling?”

“Considering she’s currently making goo-goo eyes at our mate and wagging her tail, I think she’s fine,” I chuckled, brushing Cade’s hair away from his face as it rested on my shoulder, his legs wrapped around mine so he could fit on the bed.

“I see you guys had a good night.” She wagged her eyebrows, motioning over to where Cade’s mark was visible. I blushed, making her laugh. “Don’t let anyone see that blush. You know they’ll tease you for it. You guys waited eight years to be together. You strut that mark with pride.”

“Thank you,” I replied, knowing she could guess I didn’t just mean for the advice.

We discussed going into this, that it might cause her some problems with my family for standing by my choice. She nodded and finished writing down some notes.

“All of your readings are looking good. I’ve got breakfast coming for you two, and then we can do an ultrasound to check on your pups properly, then we’ll schedule a few more prenatal appointments,” she told me.

I nodded, and then Cade stirred and stretched, looking up at me with a sweet smile on his face.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

“We’re getting breakfast, having an ultrasound and then we’re free to go.”

“Ultrasound? Can we tell what the genders are?” Cade asked, suddenly wide awake.

“I’ll try, but be prepared that it’s harder to see in twins. Evie and Cory tried to see, but when the twins didn’t prove cooperative, they ended up deciding to be surprised.”

“That’d be okay, too,” Cade replied, his eyes as big as saucers as Valeria started pushing the monitor over.

Mom walked in a few minutes later, Dad trailing behind her with two giant Tupperware of food.

“What’s the verdict, Doc?” Mom asked, smiling widely already while Dad handed the food to Cade.

“She’s good to go, as soon as she eats and gets an ultrasound.”

“Oh! We get to see my grandpups?” Dad’s face lit up.
