“Wow,” she says. “And you can handle all that, Tiffany?”
Quinn narrows his eyes. “She can more than handle it. She cracks the whip real good.”
Mom blinks, and I laugh into my hand at the image of me with a whip.
“Really?” she asks. “My daughter?”
Leon crosses his arms. “Yup. She makes sure everything gets done on time, and she’s really kicking ass.”
I hate how surprised she is by this, but she doesn’t make any further comments about it.
The rest of the dinner is, thankfully, uneventful. Mom does most of the talking, without once asking a question of any of them, and Eli rolls his eyes. Jace holds my hand under the table until, at long last, it’s time to go. Mom doesn’t remember their names, but she promises to learn.
“Will I have grandkids?” she whispers to me as we file out the door a few hours later. “How does that work?”
I shake my head at her. “I can’t believe you. But yes. Eventually.” I hop down the front step. “Bye, Mom.”
In the car, Jace puts me in his lap, and wraps me up tight as the truck takes us home.
“I’m really impressed with you,” he says, kissing the back of my neck. “I love how you told her off.”
“It was super hot,” Quinn chimes in.
I smile at them, my pack, my mates.
Chapter Thirty-Two
After a few months of our new life, I decide to stop taking the pill. I’ve talked it over at length with Mrs. Graham, who insists I call her Delaney, and she’s more than happy to help in the office. Every morning since then, the guys have sniffed me, kneeling down to bury their noses in my crotch. During my last period, they all took turns devouring me and licking me up.
“It’s a sign your body’s getting ready for us,” Jace said, palming my big breasts and sucking the sensitive nipples between his lips while Eli, crouched between my legs in his massive, black werewolf form, wriggles his tongue inside me. “You’re making a new home for our pup.”
Our pup. Whoever plants the baby, it will be the child of all five of us. Imagining one little kid with four rather big, hairy dads makes me giggle.
And then, one morning, I wake up curled into Quinn’s side, his huge, furry arms clutching me close to his chest. We’ve slept in, and I can already hear the others bustling around the kitchen. When I move, he lets out a groan of complaint. Then, his ears twitch, and his eyes fly open. He sniffs the air.
“What’s that?” he asks, a grin peeling his lips up on his long snout. His claws find their way down my hips, to my ass, where he stops to squeeze. I always sleep naked now, which means sometimes I wake up with a cock sliding between my thighs.
But Quinn’s interested in something else. He skims his nose down my body, his nostrils flaring as he reaches the crux of my thighs. He pulls them apart and takes a huge whiff.
“Oh, fuck,” he moans. “Smells so good.”
He sits up and howls, making me slap my hands over my ears at the sudden noise. The door to the big bedroom flies open, and Leon, Eli, and Jace all come inside.
“What is it?” Leon asks.
Eli inhales sharply, then a wicked smile takes over his face.
“She’s ready.” He kneels on the bed in front of me and urgently runs a hand between my legs. “And on a full moon, too.”
Quinn’s mane puffs up. “Can we do it tonight?”
A pair of arms curl around my waist, and Leon leans over my shoulder, nuzzling my cheek with his. “This would be the perfect night.”
Jace tilts his head at me. “Tiff? What do you think?”
Is it time to finally seal the bond between us? The conclusion feels foregone to me. I’ve never felt so loved, so cherished and happy, as with them.
“Yes.” I rub my face against Leon’s the way he likes. “I’m ready to do it. Tonight.”
