Page 39 of Alpha's Rise

Allowing Nathan to have this time with their mate was the least he could do. They had a lifetime together.

He settled in to enjoy the show and the sounds of Romi being pleasured. No sweeter sound had been heard by him during his lifetime, and he didn’t think anything would ever replace it.

The bathroom door opened, and Nathan stepped out, wearing only a towel. As Romi watched him stroll in the room, she became aroused at the sight of him. “Is this how it will always be with us. Every time one of you walks into a room, will I immediately want you inside me?” Nathan laughed and the sound went straight to her clit.

“Yes. But that’s a good thing.”

Romi twisted her legs to the side of the bed, intent on taking yet another shower. Hopefully, this town had an unlimited source of water. She looked around the room and noticed someone was missing. “Where’s Tobias?”

“The Alpha called him down to talk. He’ll be back as soon as he can.”

“I’m hungry,” Romi said as her stomach made an unpleasant gurgling sound.

Nathan nodded. “Figured you might be. Food’s on the table, under the silver dome. Take your shower and when you finish, we’ll get some food in you.”

Without warning, tears welled in her eyes. She had always been the one taking care of other people. Acts of Service was her love language. It was simply the way she was built. It was difficult for her to accept care from others because she never really expected it. She spent so much of her time being the badass woman everyone expected her to be, being vulnerable was something new for her. Clearing her throat, she stared at Nathan as he dropped the towel and pulled on a pair of basketball shorts. Damn, that man was fine as hell. How did she get lucky enough to have two exceptionally fine specimens as her husbands? Wait, were they married?

“Nathan. Is there a marriage ceremony that makes it official for the three of us?” Standing from the bed, she was tempted to grab the sheet to cover her naked body. After a second thought, she changed her mind. Her men had seen, touched, kissed, and licked every inch of her body. Inside and out. What reason did she have to be shy now? That train had sailed a long time ago.

“No. Our ceremony was last night. The only one that matters is between the three of us. When both Tobias and I marked you with our wolf’s bite, we were joined by the Goddess. These next few days are important for us to strengthen our bond. Once we’re ready, we’ll be presented as a new Alpha Triad.” Walking over to her, he grabbed Romi around the waist before leaning down for a kiss. “That’s where Tobias is now. Officially informing his parents. Once he returns, he won’t leave again until things are settled here.”

Pulling back, she stared up at him. “Settled? How are they not settled now?”

Just then, the door opened, and Tobias walked in. He sported a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt—a wrinkled one at that. He must have gotten dressed quickly. “Things aren’t settled until I say they are.”

And there he was again with that cocky ass attitude. “You know, you don’t always have to run things.”

He laughed before walking over to Nathan and Romi. Coming up behind her, Tobias pressed his front to her back before leaning down to kiss her shoulder, where the almost imperceptible scar was located. At the lightest touch, her knees went week. “That’s what I’m looking for. We leave this room when there’s no doubt that we are stronger together than apart. When both Nathan and I have claimed you together every single day for seven days. Once I know that you carry our young inside your body, we leave.”

At his words, she tried to twist and look at him. “A baby? Do you mean, you want me to get pregnant this week? What if it doesn’t happen? Isn’t that a bit too soon? I’m not ready to be a mother just yet. Can we give it a bit before I start popping out the next heirs to the throne?” It wasn’t that she didn’t want children, because she did. But she was still getting used to this new life. Then again, having a child by Tobias brought a smile to her face. Would he look like him? Would Nathan love the child as strongly as both her and Tobias would? So many questions and not enough answers.

Looking over at Nathan to gauge his response to this whole conversation about her getting pregnant, she watched as the two men held an entire conversation using just their eyes. “You’re right. We’ve just come together. It would be unfair of me to try and force a baby on you so early in our mating. If the Goddess blesses us with a miracle by the time this week is over, then we’ll take the gift. If she doesn’t, that means we just have to keep trying.”

As she stood between two giant men with big dicks, Romi liked the idea of practicing how to make a baby every day. “Not that I don’t want to have your babies one day soon. But I want to enjoy it being just the three of us for a while. Plus, you two need to make sure you can handle having a kid with me. I’m like a momma lion. How about we plan for Christopher to come spend the weekend with us in a couple of weeks?” At the look of horror that passed over their faces, she began to laugh. “What’s that for?”

Tobias stepped back and walked over to the couch situated against the wall. “If Christopher comes, there’s no way Odin’s not coming with him. That man acts like that little boy is his born-child.”

Of course. He’d fucking better act that way, Romi thought. “As he should. He chose to be Christopher’s dad, and that means protecting him with every breath in his body. I would expect no less from the man my sister chose as her husband and life-mate. So, then it’s a deal. In two weeks, my family comes to visit and stays with us?”

Nathan groaned and went over to the table and grabbed some water. “Will that make you happy?”

She nodded. “Yes.”

Nathan glanced at Tobias, who waved his hand at them. “Then we agree to those terms. Although, we cannot promise you that you won’t get pregnant this week. All we can promise you is that our goal will always be to bring you pleasure.”

Practically skipping to the bathroom, she paused at the door. “I think I’m going to enjoy being mated to you both.”

“Get in the shower before I come over there and fuck you up against the wall.” Tobias looked as if he were on the edge of doing just that.

“Such a sweet talker.” Romi laughed as she walked inside the bathroom and turned on the water.

Outside of the bathroom, Nathan went over to sit in the chair across from Tobias. “Do you want to tell her that she’s already pregnant or do you want to wait?”

“Yeah, I’m not touching that one with a ten-foot pole. You do remember that our woman can shoot electricity from her eyeballs, right? Let’s just enjoy this week before she tries to put us on our asses because the Goddess chose to bless our union.”

Tobias was almost worried about Romi finding out she was pregnant. He knew that when it was all said and done, any child born of their union would be special. With parents like the three of them, there was no other choice.
