“About you two mating?” he asked slowly.
I squeezed him as tight as I could, shaking my head.
“No. About the three of us.”
He pulled back far enough to meet my gaze, clearly not understanding.
“Chase was mated before. Maybe he feels like he is missing that connection?” I guessed. “He told me he wished he could mate both of us.”
Manny’s cheeks turned that pretty pink it often did. I resisted kissing it since we were in public. I would have to make up for that later.
He glanced off the dance floor at Chase, smiling softly before turning his warm gaze to mine.
“That would be so nice, wouldn’t it?” he sighed. “Us three, together forever.”
“Yeah…”
I trailed off, unsure if I wanted to have the same conversation again.
“What is it?” Manny asked.
I grimaced, giving in to the inevitable.
“I may have been looking into this a bit… Apparently, it’s a thing. Some people have claimed that they had a three-way mating.”
Manny stilled for a moment, his brows drawn in interest.
“Tell me more.”
Swallowing, I explained the things that I had read.
For a long moment, Manny was silent. Then he smiled sadly and let out a soft sigh.
“I couldn’t bear to lose either of you if it didn’t work,” he said sadly.
I nodded, but Chase’s wish mingled with Manny’s interest worked through me, leaving me certain of one thing; I wasn’t going to let this go until we tried.
Epilogue - Two
USMAN
I didn’t knowhow I’d let Wren talk me into this.
Across the bed, Chase met my eyes, his expression clear that he was thinking the very same thing.
Between us, Wren was on his knees, looking at us each, his expression serious and sure.
“Remember,” he said, meeting my gaze. “This either binds us all or none of us. No one will be left out if it doesn’t work.”
I nodded, taking a steadying breath.
That argument was what had eventually convinced me, and it rang through my ears now.
To make a mating bone, an alpha had to be knotting the omega while both made a mating bite into each other’s scent glands.
What Wren suggested was that we confuse the bond. Chase inside Wren. Wren inside me. Chase’s bite on Wren. Wren’s on Mine. Mine on Chase.
Something like that.
