“Really?” I asked. “Never thought I’d be jealous of a flavor of yogurt.”

Tobias turned in the seat before I could shut the door. “Oh, you know what I mean. You are the one who has my heart. And while we’re talking about things…” He grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me toward him. “Thank you for my clothes.” He captured my lips in a long, searing kiss that had some ladies whistling as they passed the truck.

“You can thank me for the clothes and the yogurt once we get home. Naughty mate. A few more minutes of that and I’d be taking you right here in the parking lot.”

He threw his head back and laughed. “With this belly? Please.”

“Oh, I could make it work. Trust me.”

We got yogurt and, true to his word, Tobias got the cheesecake and covered it with strawberry syrup. He promised me, as he poured the sugar over his sugar, that he would have ahealthy dinner.

He would. He had taken great care to eat well during his pregnancy.

When we got home, I watched him finish his yogurt. Painfully slowly.

“What are you looking at?” he said, laughing.

“I’m looking at my glowing, gorgeous mate and wondering exactly how long you’re going to draw out this yogurt eating.”

“Why?” he asked, blushing as he glanced down at my groin. “Did you have some other activity in mind?”

“I do. But you know what? I don’t have to wait until you’re done.”

“What do you…oh my gods, Leon. I…”

I had his pants off and his cock in my mouth before he could take another bite. I grabbed his hips and pulled them toward me, making the bulbous tip of his erection hit the back of my throat. He pushed aside his unfinished treat, threading his fingers in my hair while I finished off mine.

As he came, he called out my name over and over.“Mmm, that was amazing,” he said. “You’re really not bothered by the belly?”

“I’m not. But…it looks like I still have to prove that to you.”

I took off my clothes and then his and sat on the couch. My cum dripped from his channel and I could see it on his thighs. “Take a seat. Ride your alpha.”

He sat facing away from me, spearing himself on my dick. Bouncing up and down on my cock. I reached around his chest and pinched his sensitive nipples as he came over and over.

“See?” I said after I’d come inside him but wouldn’t let him up yet. “Every part of you turns me on. Believe it.”

He chuckled and leaned back.

I kissed the skin between his shoulders, giving him all the worship he deserved.

“I do, alpha. After that, I totally do.”

Chapter Twenty-Two

Tobias

Shifters rarely did a lot of medical testing, mostly because we were very healthy but also because most human medical stuff just didn’t work for us. Also, since we were not completely accepted or understood, going to a human hospital or testing center could lead to all sorts of problems. But more and more, there were facilities that dealt entirely with shifters, and Quinn had an ultrasound machine.

He wanted me to come in for a scan, and I didn’t see any reason for it. But since I’d moved in with Leon, I discussed things more with him and let him have more input into the decisions I made. Especially where the baby was concerned.

“Ready to go?” Leon came into the kitchen jingling his keys. “Our appointment is in a half hour.”

“As ready as I ever will be.” I wasn’t thrilled with the whole machine idea. My family had been on the low-tech side of things, and my omega father never even saw a healer, much less had an ultrasound or anything. We had heard the heartbeat at other appointments, and it was cool, but somehow that ultrasound machine scared me. “Am I supposed to do anything to get ready?”

“You should be drinking.” Leon headed for the refrigerator and opened it.

“What?” The doctor recommended a pregnant omega should drink alcohol? “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
