I held perfectly still, my wolf howling in my head. He wanted me to grab her and make her mine. Pull her under my body and mate with her.
Here and now.
When she pulled back, she was still smiling. “Did you go down to the diner to sort out my wages?”
I frowned at her. “How do you know about that?”
“Did you stand up to your mother about me and tell her that she was wrong about me not being good enough for you and Ollie?”
I nodded. “Yeah... but what’s that got to do with anything?”
She laughed, louder this time. “Markus, you are the good guy. You’re the action guy. You’re my pillar of strength. Why would I ever want you to change?”
I blinked in confusion. “You like that about me?”
“Of course, I do! You defended me! Stood up for me. Protected me. What else could I possibly want?”
I glanced over at my brother, who was smiling softly. “What about Ollie?” I asked.
“What about him?” She looked back at him, then turned her attention to me. “Wasn’t the whole point of the perfect pairs to have two perfect guys?”
“I’m not perfect.”
“Yes, you are,” Lexie said, pressing her hand against my chest, close to my heart. “You’re perfect for me. I wouldn’t change a thing about you, and I am so, so sorry for believing Nancy over you, even for that brief time. It will never happen again. I can promise you that.”
Ollie cleared his throat. “Me too, bro,” he said softly. “I should have believed you, Markus. I’m sorry.”
I stared at them both. They were apologizing to me?
Happiness welled up, along with a sizeable boost of desire that I’d been trying to keep tamped down since Lexie joined me in the shower.
I grabbed her around the waist and hauled her over until she was sitting on my lap and had her arms around my waist. “So... Mate. You wanna have our babies, do you?”
She nodded enthusiastically. “I do. As long as you two are okay about the fact that I bring nothing to the table. No money. No family. No—”
“Nothing but your own perfection?” I interjected, nuzzling her neck. “Remember that Fate is never wrong about us being perfect for each other.”
She gasped and shifted on my lap, rubbing her pussy against my rapidly hardening cock. “Then the answer is definitely yes. I couldn’t imagine a better way to begin our lives together.”
I moved my hand up under her top, searching for her hot flesh. “Then lots of amazing sex is on the menu. We’ll get you pregnant and start our family. Right, Ollie?”
Ollie got up and walked over to the front door, clicking the lock into place and pulling the blinds. “You’re right about us needing a new house, Markus. Something a bit further out, maybe? Big and sprawling. Privacy and space.”
I pulled Lexie’s top over her head and unclipped her bra, her beautiful breasts spilling out, ready for my eager lips. “Yes, brother. I think we’re going to need the privacy.”
I turned my mate around and lay her down on the soft carpet, too impatient to take her all the way upstairs to my bedroom.
Ollie walked over, lust darkening his expression. “You guys wanna take this upstairs?”
“Not really.” I grinned up at him. I wanted Lexie here and now.
One side of his mouth quirked up in a smile. “I was thinking we could try taking her together. I’d rather have a mattress under her for that.”
Interesting.
I stared down at Lexie’s gorgeous face, her hair spread out around her like a cloud. “What do you think, sweetheart? Want both of us inside you at once?”
Would she take double penetration tonight? Or would that be something she’d need to work up to?
