Reeve balanced himself on both hands over me. “Stick around till tomorrow night and you will.”

I made a little show of trying to leave. “Doesn’t seem like I have much choice,” I teased, giggling, wiping away happy tears.

“The knots’ll loosen up in ten minutes or so,” Jo promised, kissing my temple again.

“What does it feel like to you?” I asked, doing my best to look between them.

Jo took a moment to think. “Coming is one thing, and it feels good—but knotting someone else—it’s special.”

“Yeah,” Reeve agreed. “Feels like you’re holding me tight. Like you want me.” He tugged gently again, making Jo and I softly rock. “Like you’re never letting go.”

I bit my lips before answering, “Because I’m not.” I knew I meant it as I said it—and I did the only thing that made sense in the moment, I flung my arms out and up at the big man—wolf? I guessed I’d see tomorrow!—for a hug.

Reeve made an accommodating sound, and slowly lowered himself, pleasantly crushing both Jo and I below. “I know it, sweet lamb. I know it.”
