I rubbed my hands over Zane’s thick, hard cock, knowing my words were going to have my ass under him in a matter of seconds.
He exhaled, “I need to feel that again.”
“So do I,” I said, climbing on top of him and sliding down onto his dripping wet cock.
Once Zane and I were done rekindling the intense sex from the night before, we knew we were going to have to peel each other apart if we were ever going to leave this room.
“Goddamn,” Logan said as he peaked his head in from the doorway just as Zane’s taut body collapsed to the side of me. “Are you two just going to use this as your fuck-until-eternity-ends room, or are you going to come down and see your daughter? Who, by the way,” he winced, “has had to hear all the shit we had to live through last night with the screaming, language, and headboard slamming into the fucking wall. The poor child is probably traumatized. Now, get your horny asses downstairs.”
“Oh, God,” I said, mortified my daughter would hear any of those activities.
“She’s a grown woman,” Zane smirked. “Trust me, Aria can handle it.”
“Those boys at her school?”
Zane rolled his eyes. “Yeah,” he sighed, “Sadly enough, our daughter seems to have taken after her mother in more ways than just beauty, magic, and saving grace. I would have killed those assholes if I didn’t think they would mean as much to her as we all do to you.”
“I wonder why fate saw it that way,” I said, jumping into a quick shower with Zane.
“She had to battle those stupid Gemini twins of Enzo’s. Her and her crew,” Zane scowled even though he knew the three guys Aria was with were vital to her life too, “they were fated to destroy those strong creatures once they became a threat.”
“Let’s hurry, I have to see her.”
After greetings,never-ending hugs, and sharing sweet moments with my daughter, we finally were able to settle down when Val walked in.
“Have you told them yet?” she asked with a mischievous grin.
Aria’s lips pinched together with excitement as she reached for my hand. “Mom,” she glanced around the room, “whew, okay.” She exhaled and softly laughed.
“Spit it out, kid,” Cole chuckled. “I know this is good news, so by all means, don’t keep us waiting.”
“Aria? Are you pregnant?” I asked, feeling that was precisely why Aria was here—and without her lovers.
She laughed loudly. “If that were the case, my guys would be here to share in the excitement. Instead, they’re keeping my absence covered up so I could deliver the news that Aunt Val has learned personally.”
“Shit,” I said, “I swear to God, I feel like I’m picking up on a pregnancy.”
Val laughed, while the room gasped. Why the hell did I feel like this was suddenly on me?
“It’s because you and dad conceived last night,” she said with an arch of her eyebrow, “and from the way it sounded this morning, you were trying to double up on that pregnancy.” She laughed while the vamps, me, and Zane stared at her in total confusion.
“Aria, that was taken from me when those demon things were in me. I can’t have children.”
“You’re in the new body that you manifested for yourself, Elle,” Val smiled warmly. “The strongest child now to come from your womb, will be the child you conceive with the alpha shifter. You now have the ability to make this world a safer place with your offspring—as does Aria, when her time comes—if you chose to have more.”
“The vampires?” I asked, ignoring this new and blessed scenario that Zane and I were honored to have.
“The vampires will be the protectors, but they cannot reproduce with the body you’ve given yourself.”
“Baby,” Zac said, “We’re good with that. Val’s right. You have a mixture of all our blood, along with your lifeblood. Those genes mixed with the alpha is and will always be the most powerful and will create true protectors like Aria.”
“So, now I’m just a baby-making machine?” I laughed in disbelief.
“With all of us around to help and take care of you, it doesn’t sound like the worst thing in the world. Of course, that is always your decision alone,” Cole said sweetly.
“This is unbelievable,” Zane finally spoke and took my hand. “Baby, you and me…” his voice trailed off.
“Yeah, and because they’reyourconceived little kids? You’re doing diapers, we get the fun uncle stuff,” Braden added with a laugh.
