I had two mates, and I’d be with both of them that night.
My phone rang just as I parked in front of my final stop. I grinned when Axel’s name appeared on the screen.
“Hey,” I answered.
“I just got back to base,” he stated. “How far out are you?”
“Last stop. Then I gotta get back, unload, all that.”
There was a beat of silence. “Ok. Sounds like I’ll be done a few minutes before you, but not too much.”
“I think that’s right.”
“I’ll stop by the store once I’m off and grab some sports and energy drinks. Ollie was prepared to wait out his heat alone, so I don’t know if he has enough supplies for all of us. Got any requests?”
I rattled off my favorite flavors, then told him I’d call once I was off.
Anticipation built in my middle as I unloaded my truck and had a brief meeting with my supervisor. Then I was done for the day.
I called Axel as soon as I exited the building.
“You done?” he asked as he answered.
“Walking to my car now.”
“Perfect. I’m in line to check out. I grabbed us some food too, since I figure you haven’t eaten.”
“You’re a lifesaver.”
He chuckled. “Meet there?”
“Sounds good.”
My hands trembled as I drove. Everything in me wanted this—craved it. And while I trusted Axel, I needed to hear from Ollie too.
I turned onto the street and paused as I approached Ollie’s house. Did I park on the street or the driveway?
I chuckled when I saw Axel’s car on the street and wondered if he’d had the same dilemma. I pulled up behind him and got out.
Axel strode over as soon as I closed the door and pulled me into a kiss, a grocery bag bounced against my leg.
“Are you ready?” he murmured as we parted.
I nodded. “You’re sure?”
“Hmm?”
“About the three of us? That Ollie wants this?”
He gave me a gentle kiss. “I’m sure that we’re fated. I knew as soon as I smelled him, and he was pretty clear it’s you, too. I asked Ollie, and he told me he wanted us to breed him. But I won’t be offended if you ask him yourself.”
I laughed. “You better believe I’m going to ask. I don’t touch until I know it’s cool.”
Axel smiled, his expression highlighted in various colors from the neighbor’s Christmas lights.
He was stunning, and while I knew love would grow between us, the seed had already sprouted.
He took my hand in his free one. “Come on. We don’t want to make Ollie wait any longer.”
