“So worth it,” he chuckles.

“And Luke?”

“Yeah?” he looks back at me, pure happiness in his eyes.

“That mate mark looks good on you.” I give him a beaming smile.

His hand goes up to his neck, realization hitting him as a ghost of a smile forms on his lips.My mark looks good on all my men.

We walk back to Luke’s car, hand in hand and I try to ignore the itchy feely of the sand as it shifts with each step I take.Yeah, I’m checking this off my bucket list and never doing it again.

The whole car ride back, we keep catching the other sneaking glances or just plain watching. It’s a comfortable silence, our hands laced together.

“You know how hard it is not to pull this car over and take you into the backseat?” Luke huffs as we turn down the corner onto our road.

My belly heats at his words. “As much as I wouldn’t say no to that, I think I need to shower this sand off before anything else goes inside me.” I laugh.

“Fair enough.” He grins, kissing the back of my hand and making my belly erupt in butterflies.

We pull into the garage, and as I’m about to get out, Luke grabs me, pulling me into his lap. “Luke!” I giggle, staring at him with wide eyes.

“Shh, now. Let me carry you,” he demands, opening his door and taking me out with him.

“You could have just taken me from my seat,” I point out, raising a brow as he carries me into the house.

“Yeah, but that would have been too long of a time with my hands off you.” He grins, wiggling his eyebrows.

“I’m guessing I’m sleeping with you tonight?” I ask, not at all upset about that.

“You're cute if you think I’d be able to be away from you just after we made things official. You’re mine for the night, Spawny. Tonight and the rest of our lives.”

“You're adorable.”

“Don’t let the others hear you say that, they wouldn’t let me live it down,” he growls playfully.

“My lips are sealed.” I wink, making him laugh.

We enter through the kitchen doorway, and as we step in, a voice has us stopping. “Look who’s home,” Isaac states.

We both look over at him, finding him standing there in his sleep pants and nothing else. Noah is sitting on the counter next to him, eating from a tub of ice cream.

Isaac isn’t mad though, there’s a small smile on his lips as he takes in his mate holding me.

“Best night ever.” Luke kisses me on the forehead. “Hey, is that the last of it?” Luke gasps.

“Yup.” Noah grins, shoving a spoonful in his mouth. “All gone,” he mumbles.

Still in Luke’s hold, he rushes us over to Noah. “Like that is going to stop me,” Luke taunts with a wicked grin before kissing Noah, deeply

Their lips part, tongues tangling together. Heat fills my core as I watch them together. My eyes look to Isaac, but he’s watching our mates with a hungry look.

“Yum. Chocolate,” Luke comments, licking his lips as he breaks the kiss with Noah. He looks down at me. “Want a taste?” I don’t get a chance to answer before Luke kisses me next. I moan as I taste the sweetness on my tongue.

“I’m going to guess from the very powerful feeling we were both hit with not too long ago, you two accepted one another?” Isaac asks, leaning against the counter, looking at the both of us.

“Is that going to be an issue?” I ask him. I don’t feel bad, I don’t feel like I did anything wrong. Luke ismymate too.

“No. I’m glad.”
