Page 42 of How to Rescue Your Surprise Baby

“I vote hotdogs for breakfast,” Crush said.

“Doesn’t your cook feed you actual food?” Raptor asked.

Crush sighed. “Cook says hotdogs are the worst food that ever existed. She makes me feel guilty when I don’t eat my vegetables. Or when I ask for hotdogs, like I’m insulting her culinary skills.”

“You need an omega who’ll be happy to give you hotdogs,” Ace said. “Or an omega who’ll happily give youhishotdog.”

Crush grinned. “I can’t wait to find one. Blind date tomorrow. Blind date, blind date!”

“Blind date, blind date,” Raptor and Ace chanted.

Duke looked disapproving, but there was something else in his expression, too.

Mav groaned. “We’re on a rescue mission, not a mission for you guys to pick up dates.”

“Same difference,” Ace said.

“Besides,youalready have a date,” Crush complained. “You should be happy for us.”

“I—” Mav hesitated. It wasn’t as though he and Telos were anything. They hadn’t talked about this thing between them, and now they were about to spend the next few hours alone in the same room.

Well, Estie would be there too, but she’d fall asleep at some point.

“I’m going to sleep,” Telos announced, carrying Estie to their room.

Mav wasnotwatching the way Telos’ ass moved in those pants. He shook himself, but he couldn’t shake off the memory of those bare cheeks, thick and muscular under his hands, spreading open easily and taking him.

He hadn’t known what to expect. Telos had been completely slick somehow, tight, and it had felt like heaven inside him. The memory made his body tingle—it had only been hours.I’m going insane.

At their door, Telos paused and turned. Mav jerked his gaze up, only to find Telos watching him knowingly.

Mav froze. Had Telos caught Mav checking out his ass? Fuck, he had, hadn’t he?

Mav wet his lips, unsure how to proceed.

“Dragon Master!” Hadley flounced over, thrusting a small blue box into Mav’s hand. “Your blood flow supplement. You said you were going to drink it.”

Arousal flared at the back of his mind, bright and hot. Not his own. When Mav jerked his eyes away from Hadley, he found Telos disappearing into their room.

With all the blood in his brain leaving for southern pastures, Mav tightened his fist around the box, and followed him.

A SECOND MATING DANCE

Telos cooedat Estie and tried not to pay attention to Mav joining them in the room. “You’re such an amazing little girl. You’re going to grow up so strong.”

Estie blew spit bubbles and kicked her legs.

Behind Telos, the door shut quietly. The lock clicked.

Holy mating clams!Telos tried to breathe.Estie is awake. Nothing’s gonna happen.

But the moment she fell asleep...

He found himself rocking her almost too aggressively.

“You shouldn’t be swinging a baby like a fairground Pirate Ship,” Mav said dryly behind him.
