“Hatched. We’re hatched.”

Kit leaned his head back again. Wasn’t that a trip? “Hatched. Okay, yeah, someone’s going to have to explain to me how… that works.”

“Simply put, a female will change into her natural form when the time is right and lay a clutch,” Hudson said.

“A clutch can be anywhere from one to four eggs, although in the last couple hundred years, most females only have one egg,” Connie said.

“Out of my clutch, only I survived,” Hudson said. “There were two other eggs.”

Kit didn’t say anything, but suddenly he had a feeling he knew why Hudson’s mother might be rather attached to her one and only son.

“I’m an only egg,” Connie said.

“Only child too.” Kit held his fist up so Connie could bump it.

Laughing, Connie fist-bumped him.

Kit took another big gulp of wine and then moaned again as Hudson worked on his foot.

He was kind of sad when Hudson finally stopped. He laid his head back again as he listened to the two of them talk. Hudson’s voice was a little bit deeper and more growly. Connie’s was lighter and more upbeat. Funny how their tones fit the two perfectly.

Kit drank his wine, enjoyed the hot bubbling water, and listened to his mates talk. He had a nice little buzz going, and he was definitely relaxed.

At some point Kit must’ve closed his eyes without realizing it, because he definitely jumped when Connie ran his hand up his leg.

“Sit on the side, babe.”

“What?”

“Up.”

It took a second, but Kit finally worked out what Connie wanted. He hoisted himself out and sat on the side of the hot tub, his legs dangling in the water. Heavy eyed, he watched as Connie moved between his legs.

He barely noticed that Hudson had climbed out of the hot tub.

“Lie back for me and lift your legs out of the water.”

“Oh my damn.” Kit had a pretty good idea of what Connie had in mind. At least, he hoped he did.

As soon as he was flat on his back, Hudson kneeled and helped him wiggle out of his swimsuit.

Yep, he definitely liked where this was going.

“Be right back,” Hudson said, then kissed Kit roughly. He placed Kit’s swimsuit off to the side.Aw, they didn’t get the chance to even enjoy the see-through swimsuit.

But then again, they’d managed to get him completely naked.

Kit reclined on the concrete, staring at the sky. That position, flat on his back with his feet on the ground and knees bent, would give Connie the ideal view of his hole.

Connie kissed Kit’s knee. “So sexy.”

Kit opened his legs. The idea of presenting himself was fucking hot. The cool concrete around the pool contrasted with the heat of his body.

A few minutes later, Hudson returned and slipped back into the hot tub. Lifting his head, Kit watched as Hudson moved around behind Connie. He liked where this was going.

“Beautiful.” Connie ran his hands up and down Kit’s legs. “Such a perfect little hole. I can’t wait to sink my dick in it.”

Kit groaned. Maybe he wasn’t as achy as he first thought.
