Page 152 of His Surrogate Omega

Gray looked away. “I have. We can’t know that’s what’s going on here. It’s a theory, at best.”

“Theory or not, I think we both know the attraction we feel isn’t something either of us can ignore.” Rohan cupped the side of Gray’s face.

“Instinct because of the babies.”

“It’s more, and you know it. I feel it even now. Do you?”

Gray lifted his stare, and it was apparent without words that he did.

“Add in our children… add in the fact I’m in love with you… add in the fact you and Jamie loved one another as brothers and hewantedthis for us... I want you at home, where you belong. With our babies.”

Gray held Rohan’s stare. “Not a glorified babysitter?”

“No,” Rohan said. “As my mate… as myomega. The honored papa of our children.” He leaned in and kissed Gray’s lips. “I love you. And Ithinkyou love me, too.”

Gray smiled, one eyebrow cocking. “Oh?”

“Youdidtell me once.”

His omega smiled, looking perplexed. “I did?”

“After you gave birth. You weresodrugged, so I didn’t truly believe it. Of course I wanted to, but I couldn’t let myself.” He paused and saw Gray’s slight smile. “If you don’t… if it was the drugs and not what you feel in your heart… maybe you can learn to love me, too.”

Gray’s lip trembled as he opened his mouth. “I already do.”

Rohan rested his forehead on Gray’s, holding the back of his omega’s head. He released a shuddering breath, his whole body shaking. He captured Gray’s lips, starving for the kiss he’d waited over a year to taste again.

Gray kissed him back, just as hungrily.

Rohan lifted a hand and suddenly remembered they weren’t alone. He backed away and chuckled as he looked down on his twins. Both were half asleep, still nursing away. He leaned in and watched his boys.

“They’re beautiful,” Rohan whispered before looking up at Gray. “We make beautiful babies.”

Gray smiled.

Rohan looked back to their children and smiled. He wanted more… he wanted to have another time when he could love and cuddle his swollen mate and love the man as he deserved. He would dote the next time around… and let the instinct rule him.

Instead of fighting it every step of the way.

Silver was the first to release his hold on a nipple.

“Grab a towel from the bag and get to burping, daddy,” Gray said.

“Glad to,” Rohan said. He’d gotten a little practice during his weekends with the boys. Now he’d get to be there every night, as well. He grabbed the towel and their omega before resting the babe on his shoulder. Rohan patted softly, watching as Jaymes finally finished his meal.

“Well, isn’t this lovely?”

Rohan looked up and saw Wynter and Warden watching them. Part of him hated that the pair had witnessed any of their private moments together. But another part was thrilled they’d actually shown up, late or not.

Wilder peeked in and eyed Rohan. “I couldn’t stop them.”

“Might as well get back in here and let’s get this thing over with,” Rohan said as Gray righted his tunic.

Everyone slipped back into the room quietly. Terizano went to his desk and pulled out the will. “If everyone is in agreement and ready for the reading, I’ll begin.”

No refusals were made, so the man began.

Most of it was basic legal formalities. Jamie had little that he’d owned coming into the marriage, but technically, he did have some claim on part of the marriage properties. “As for the share of the shared assets via marriage, Jaymes Parker has assigned those to Mr. Gray Tomlinson, Mr. Rohan Parker, and any living children between the pair, including any liquid assets, home, and belongings, other than those assigned to Mr. Wilder Jaymes.”
