"You know you're her father in every way that counts, right?" I ask him.
Lucas looks at me, his smile still plastered on his face. "I know, but keep telling me anyway. We like to hear it."
I lean into him, whispering right up next to his ear. "What else do you like to hear?"
It takes Lucas a second to realize I'm attempting to seduce him. Which, granted, he's getting better at picking up on hints, but it's still one of my favorite things to do to tease him.Sometimes he doesn't pick up for a while, and when he does, oh, it's nothing but a good time for me. His jaw ticks as he narrows his eyes on me, and then he's up on his feet, grabbing for the diaper bag.
"We're leaving," he announces to the family.
"Good, you're both are stinking up the place," Sarah says, screwing her nose up. Henry drags her close to him, sweet peppermint filling the air around us much stronger than anything Lucas or I were putting out. "Henry, you ass!"
"It was great having you over," Janie tells me, pulling me into a hug as we start heading out. "We're doing vegetarian options next week."
"It's my week, which means pot roast. I'm not only eating vegetables," Fenrir interrupts Janie, telling me what we need to bring to the next family dinner.
It's fine. She's already sent out the schedule in the family's online group folder, and she keeps us updated on everything happening fairly frequently over text. If something's happening, she already has a plan for it and about twelve backup plans just in case.
"We'll bring something," Lucas tells her, giving her an awkward side hug since he has the diaper bag on one arm and Tessie in the other. Janie doesn't mind. She just wiggles her fingers at our daughter and then looks over at where Sam is bottle-feeding theirs.
As we're leaving, Jace leans over to Fenrir, and he asks something that has us all throwing up a little bit in our mouths. "Hey, Vilkas doesn't want to fight anymore, think you could get us a job at the heat clinic?"
"Nuh-uh," Lucas says, corralling me out of the house before I get to see how that conversation unfolds. I whine at him, wanting to know if everyone freaks out since Jace is the littlebrother of the group. "I'm sure we'll hear about it secondhand from Sarah and Henry when they come over tomorrow."
"But I want to hear about it now."
Lucas shakes his head, his purr rumbling around him. "No, right now you want to be good for your alpha."
I lick my bottom lip, knowing there's only so much teasing I can get away with before we get home. I'd better start now so I can make the most out of my time.
"I think I want to be bad." I flutter my lashes, leaning into him enough to feel his strength as I let my hand travel down his abdomen to where he's hot and hard in his jeans.
He startles and turns his body away from me as if that's going to stop me in my mission to get him worked up on the way home. "At least wait until I get her in her carseat, you fiend."
"But then your hands won't be full and you'll be able to stop me," I pout, wrapping my arms around him and pressing my face into his back. My hands are a little gropey as he hustles to the car, me right on his heels.
"You're a menace, you know that, right?" Lucas asks me, bending down to buckle Tessie in her car seat.
"Only to you," I purr in appreciation of how sweet he is to our little girl. "And I haven't even been that bad today."
Lucas turns around, finally, wrapping his arms around my waist and tugging me close to him.
"No, you could've been much worse."
He presses his lips to mine, his tongue snaking into my mouth and deepening the kiss. I moan against him, needing him right now, but knowing the waiting helps to make it all better. When he pulls away, he helps me into the car, making sure I'm buckled in, and then gets in. Remus takes over while we're driving down the street, grabbing one of my hands and placing it back over his crotch.
"You have twenty minutes to show me how bad you can be, and then it's my turn."
I whimper at the promise in his words and get to work on seeing how worked up I can get my alpha. He deserves nothing but my best, and that's what I plan on giving him. Today and any other day, I'm lucky enough to have him in my life.
