Wyatt scoots beside me and kisses my temple. “I love you, too, vixen.”

“I love you both.”

Finally, Asa slides out and gets on the other side of me, the boys holding hands on my breasts. In the stillness of the moment we share, I feel at complete ease, and safe. I’m so ready to bring a child into this environment, filled with hope and love. That’s all I want now. And I can’t wait to see the look in Asa’s eyes when I can tell him I’m with child.

“I want you to fuck me.”

My eyes snap open as Wyatt lifts his head and gazes into Asa’s eyes.

“What? Like…now?” Asa asks, with a look of bewilderment.

A snorted chuckle leaves Wyatt’s nose. “No. Like later. Sometime.”

“Fuck. Say it again, wild card. Tell me what you want.”

“I want you inside me, maverick. Fuck my ass with your thick cock.”

There’s a pause as the two seem to figure out something between them. Then Asa leans over my chest and kisses Wyatt again as I watch my husband and my boyfriend—ourboyfriend—meet in the middle.

Asa chuckles. “Well, when you put it like that, I guess I have to.”

Maybe we can alternate who gets me pregnant. We have plenty of space in the house for lots of nurseries. I think I’d love being pregnant. And just as I think it, nausea fills my belly, and I rush into the bathroom and vomit up the emptiness of my stomach.

By the time I flush and reach the sink to brush my teeth, both men stand completely nude in the doorframe, looking like someone’s holding a gun to their heads.

“What?” I ask, my mouth full of toothpaste.

Asa walks over to me and puts his arms around my waist. “What was that?”

“I got nauseated… Maybe I should take a pregnancy test.”

Like I’ve just said some magical words, he places his chin on my shoulder and bites his bottom lip, his face gleaming at me in the mirror. “Okay. This could be happening! Empress, you’ll look so good carrying my child.”

Giggling, I let my eyes squeeze shut with the happiness that surrounds me, and Asa pulls me closer to him as he laughs with me.

Our moment is only interrupted by Wyatt’s murmur of, “I’ll make sure there’s breakfast.”

My eyes meet Asa’s through our reflection and my hand stops its brushing motion.

“I’ll go speak with him,” he says, then scurries off to get dressed.

When I’ve finished getting ready for the day, I head to the dining room and find the two eating a big breakfast. Wyatt shoves a plate filled with scrambled eggs at me and says, “You need protein.”

Smiling at him, I narrow one eyebrow and slide into my seat. “I thought I just got all your protein.”

Both men stop and look at me until Asa lifts his fork and waves it at my face. “Eat.”

Something in the way his demeanor has changed in the last day makes my belly do a flip. I scarf up a bite when I realize I’ve been staring at him in amazement too long and he narrows his eyes at me like a stern…daddy. As casually as I can muster, I clear my mouth and dot the corners with a napkin, sip some juice, and ask, “So, what did you all talk about?”

They eye each other across the table until Wyatt clears his throat and grabs my hand resting on my lap. “I was feeling left out and knew it would happen if you two got pregnant, but Ace agrees that the family will continue to expand.”

Asa pushes his perfect hair back in place. “No, I said thatweare pregnant, andourfamily will continue to expand even after our first baby.” Reaching his arm across the divide, he grabs Wyatt’s hand in one and mine in his other. “By making our own wolf pack.”

I blink back tears as I stare at the man I married with new eyes. It felt like puppy love to have a crush onhim before, but now I see his strength. His boldness, his leadership. His kindness and empathy. And I love him more.

Dropping their hands, I slide over onto his lap just to be near the force that lives inside him, to bask in it. I see why everyone loves the charismatic Asa Donovan, but this creature under me, he’spowerful. And it makes me want to support it in any way I can.

Pressing my lips to his temple, I whisper, “I love you, king.”
