Page 126 of Mates: Posy

"Okay, princess." He bit his lips, but the humor stayed in his eyes.

With a huff, I spun around and faced Wyatt.

"Yeah, but don't worry. Your vagina gets nice and wet so Mr. Penis can slide right in." Wyatt ignored Jayden, who choked at the 'Mr. Penis' part. "Easy peasy, right? And that's the start of mating. Making love. Having sex. Doing it."

I was silent for a second, trying to process everything, then I remembered something.

"Is that why I occasionally feel something hard in your pants when you're holding me?" I whirled toward Ash again. "Like this morning when I woke up?"

"Yeah, princess. You feel so good that we get excited."

"And those times when you shift me off your lap quickly? That's what's happening?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Yep," Wyatt said. "We don't want to embarrass you or lose control and shoot the juice into our shorts."

"Wait. Juice? What juice?"

I turned back to Wyatt and saw pink on his cheeks. Had something about this finally embarrassed him?

Good, because this whole thing is embarrassing to me.

"The penis shoots, um, juice into you during mating," he explained. "When you're in heat, the juice will make a pup grow in your belly."

"So you only mate when you want pups?" I tilted my head with a confused frown.

Cole scrubbed one hand over his face, Jayden looked like he had swallowed a bug, and Mason closed his eyes and shook his head slowly.

"Well, no. It's another way we bond with each other. And it's fun, feels good, and becomes addicting," Wyatt said. "At least, that's what Papa and Dad say. I guess we'll have to try it and see."

"You've never done it before?" I squeaked in shock.

"Of course not. None of us have. We've been waiting for you since we turned eighteen. Lucky for us, Ash and I have only had to wait a few months. Poor Mason has had to wait three, almost four years now."

And right on cue, all my doubts came rolling in again.

"What if you don't like mating with me? What if I'm not any good at it? What if I'm not enough for all of you?" My breathing grew sharp and short. "Are you going to go to other girls to have fun and feel good? What if—"

"Stop that, sweetness." Jayden came over and picked me up, ignoring Ash's complaints. "None of us have done it before, so we can all learn together. We'll figure out what each of us needs and wants as we go. As for the rest of your worries, we willneverseek out any other females. You are the only one we want."

"That's right, cutie. None of us gets hard looking at other girls. Only with you," Wyatt assured me. "And you like when we touch and kiss you, right? You don't want any other male to do that, do you?"

"No. It makes me sick to even think that way about other males."

"Good," growled Cole, Mason, and Ash in unison.

"There's a lot of touching and kissing during mating," Wyatt continued, "which we enjoy as much as you do, so no more worrying about that, okay?"

Heat built in my cheeks and scorched my whole face before spreading to my neck, and I dug my head into Jayden's chest. He rearranged me so he was holding me on his hip like a little kid, and I twined my arms around his neck.

"Let's go back to the subject of pups for a minute," Cole said. "We've been talking and we wanted to know how you felt about waiting for a while. You've been through a lot the last few years, and we're still finding our feet as co-alphas of five packs. We think it would be a good idea to wait, at least until we're all comfortable with our roles."

"It would be nice to get to know each other better before pups come along. We have lots of time to become parents," Ash added.

"Parents." Wyatt gulped. "Dude. Am I the only one who freaks out thinking of myself as a parent?"

"No, you're not. It freaks all of us out to think ofyouas a parent," Cole retorted.

Mason caught Wyatt's shoulders before he could launch himself at Cole, and I giggled.
