Tavi grinned as if knowing how Night would take her suggestion. “It’s what I’m here for.”
The second little hair flip sent me over the edge. I started giggling, and soon that giggle became a laugh. It was such a reliefto be here with three of the most important people in my life, and it was so, so wonderful to joke and laugh with them.

NIGHT
After finishing the bottle of apple cider that Dom had brought for her, Bryn found a spot to curl up and fell asleep while the rest of us talked. I found her on the couch with her knees tucked toward her chest, surrounded by throw pillows. She looked like a doe curled up for sleep in the woods. The sight was so sweet, it almost hurt to look at her.
My mate,I thought with an intensity that surprised me.Mother of my pups.The deep, growling purr from my wolf showed me his agreement.
Tavi turned off the music, and I sent her a grateful look. “I’m going to put Bryn to bed,” I said, speaking quietly so I didn’t disturb my mate. “Good night, you two. Thanks for coming.”
“We’ll catch you later, Night,” Dom said. “Tavi, wanna take a walk with me?”
She nodded, ducking her head slightly. Before they left, she turned to me. “I keep forgetting to tell you this, Night. Violet asked me to tell you that she wants you to come by and see her soon.”
“I’ll swing by her place tomorrow morning.”
She nodded but hesitated instead of following Dom to the door. She looked up at me for a few moments, then moved forward to hug me.
“Congratulations, Night,” she whispered. “I’m so happy for you and Bryn.”
I hugged her back. I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed her affection. It felt like years had passed since the last time we were so close with each other. “Thanks, Tav. Have fun tonight, okay?”
She nodded, and when she stepped back, she was smiling shyly. “We’ll see ourselves out.”
I carefully scooped Bryn into my arms. She moaned slightly, leaning her head against my arm. She felt so small and light in my arms, it was difficult to envision that she’d one day have a fuller, rounder stomach. The thought almost made me laugh because it was so different from how she looked now.
I helped her out of her dress and gently put her in bed. As I pulled away, my shirt caught on something. I turned, and it was Bryn holding the hem of my shirt between her fingers, her blue-gray eyes peering up at me through long dark lashes.
“Stay,” she whispered.
I smiled. The expression on her face, sleepy but insistent, made my heartbeat quicken. “I was just getting to my side of the bed.”
“Good.” She slowly let go of my shirt, and I pulled it off before crawling on top of her. Her hands clasped my shoulders.
I kissed her. “Are you awake enough to have some fun?”
A smile spread slowly across her lips, and she nodded.
“That’s my girl.” I pressed my lips to hers again, slowly this time.
I kissed her jaw and the spot just underneath her chin. Her fingers pressed into my shoulders, and she let out a sweet, soft moan. The sound, the smooth warmth of her skin…every caress was like heaven to me.
I trailed lazy kisses down her chest and sucked one of her hardened nipples into my mouth. Bryn moaned loudly, and I moved to the other nipple. I was careful with her because I knew how sore her body had been lately. I didn’t want to remind her of her aches and pains; I wanted her to feel beautiful—like the queen she deserved to be.
"Night,” she whimpered, pushing gently on my shoulders.
She wanted me to head further south, and I was all too eager to oblige. I trailed kisses down her stomach, enjoying the texture of the goosebumps that my lips sent rippling across her skin.
Sliding my fingers under the waistband of her panties, I pulled the fabric down and tossed it aside to join my shirt and her dress. The intoxicating, heady scent of her pussy had my wolf purring. I flattened my tongue against her mound and dragged it slowly between her fuzzy lips, and it was all I could do not to howl when the salted honey taste of her spread across my tongue.
She gave a small cry as I devoured her, slipping my tongue inside her warmth before clamping my mouth down on her clit and sucking gently. Without my shoulders to hold onto, her hands pushed through my hair. Her legs bent, and her thighs tightened against my head.
It wasn’t long before each pass of my tongue made her body quake. She gripped my hair, holding me still as my tongue delved into her. Her orgasm rocked through her. She archedher back as she came hot on my face. I lapped at her. She was delicious.
After, when her thighs relaxed enough that I could slip free, I looked up at her. She was a mess, her hair spread across her pillow, her skin glowing with sweat, her chest rising and falling with each quick breath. Her smile was full of satisfaction, which was all I needed to see.
