Lake sighs. “I missed you too. I’m sorry I was gone for so long.”

“It’s ok. You’re back now. We both understand. I may not have left the state, but I haven’t been around the way I’d like either. Ev has been holding it down for both of us.”

Lake stiffens when I talk about being busy, but he doesn’t say anything, and I won’t bring it up, not this morning. Finally, he tilts his head up and smiles at me. “Then I guess it’s time for us to be there for him.”

I nip at Lake’s jaw, relishing in his taste. I never was one for biting until this whole Alpha thing turned my life around, but that’s one thing I’m not minding at all. If I could, I’d leave marks all over both Lake and Ev, letting everyone know they’re mine.

“Then we better hurry. We don’t want to keep our mate waiting.”

Lake’s eyes light up as he accepts my hand and allows me to lead him back to the bedroom. “I love to hear you call us mates. I never thought a word would mean so much to me, but it does.”

I squeeze his hand. “It still seems strange, but nothing else fits, does it?”

“No, it doesn’t.”

“Took you guys long enough.” I stop in my tracks at Ev’s words, frozen at the scene in front of us. Ev has stripped down to nothing and is lounging lazily in the middle of the large bed, his head propped up on some pillows. One hand rests casually behind his head while the other jerks himself off.

Next to me, Lake also stops in his tracks, and I’m sure we have matching expressions as he stares open-mouthed at Ev as our mate very deliberately fingers the piercings in his dick he knows both of us are so attracted to.

I snap into action first and climb onto the bed, my expression dark with lust. “Well, excuse us for trying to meet your standards of hygiene.”

Ev’s tongue peeks out of his lips and licks across his lip rings. Fuck. My dick was already half hard in anticipation, but seeing my man all on display like this for us takes me the rest of the way.

Ev takes the hand that was just gripping his dick and cups my cheek as he crushes my lips with his. I’m breathless when he finally pulls away, his head cocked to the side. “You’re acceptable.”

Acceptable! Oh, that little . . . But before I can come up with a comeback, Ev turns his fucking irresistible gaze to Lake and crooks his finger at him.

“Come here, sweetheart. It’s your turn for the test.”

Lake raises his brow but still comes forward. Once he’s close enough, I grab him and drag him the rest of the way onto the bed, positioning him until he’s just inches away from Ev’s mouth. Ev closes the distance, his eyes blazing.

I grip Lake’s hair, which has gotten longer since I last saw him, keeping him in place while Ev dominates his mouth. Lake can do nothing but accept the kiss, and then accept some more until he’s gasping for air.

Lake comes back from the kiss debauched. His lips are spit slicked and swollen, and his cheeks are beet red. Somehow, Ev still looks composed, though his expressionis wild. He slowly licks his lips. “I guess you pass as well,” he tells Lake nonchalantly.

With a roll of my eyes, I release Lake’s hair and climb on top of Ev, straddling his knees. I lower myself so that I’m practically touching him. I maintain eye contact as my tongue darts out, licking across the tattoo on his collarbone. “If I had any patience, I’d lick every single one of these tattoos. I’d memorize them with my tongue.”

Ev barks out a laugh. “That would take the whole day, babe.”

I shrug, up for the challenge. “It’ll be worth it.”

“Well, right now, I really need that mouth of yours on my cock, so maybe the tongue bath can wait for another day.”

I can see Lake shudder out of the corner of my eye. I turn toward him. “How about you strip for us and jerk off that pretty cock while I take care of our mate here.” My eyes sparkle. “Dinner and a show.”

Lake scrunches his nose while Ev snorts. But he still grips the bottom of his shirt and pulls it over his head. I freeze as I get my first clear look at Lake’s tiny bump. It’s not visible at all in my huge ass shirt, but I can see the little rounded bulge clearly now. Fuck, I can’t believe how much I love seeing him like this. For a split second, I forget where I am, caught in the fantasy of Lake’s belly bulging as he carries my child.

I shake my head, loosening the thought. I don’t even want kids, none of us do, but I won’t lie. My baser instincts love the idea of seeing my Omega mate carrying my child. I feel gentle fingers along my hairline and turn my head to see Ev stroking my face, his features warm and full of love.

“Do you enjoy seeing our man with child, Lo? He looks beautiful, doesn’t he?”

Lake blushes and covers the small bump with his hand. Without thinking much about it, I reach over and cover his hand with my own. I’m not sure how to explain it, but I instantly feel . . . something . . . a connection to the baby growing inside him. I know this child isn’t my blood and has two loving, devoted parents, but they will also have the most protective, doting uncles they could ever ask for.

“He does,” I finally reply worshipfully. “I still can’t get over it. How it’s even possible.”

The moment is heavy and we’re all quiet as we process it. I still don’t know what happened when Lake was gone, but touching his belly gives me comfort that everything will be ok. When I can no longer take the emotion welling through me, I drag my eyes away from Lake and back to Ev. He softened a little during the moment, but I could get him hard again in no time.

“You know what is possible?” I ask Ev, smirking. He raises an eyebrow in question. “You fucking my face.”
