I wrapped my legs around his waist, digging my heels into his ass. Coaxing him, without words, to fuck me as hard as he dared.

Which, in the end, turned out to be pretty hard.

I jacked myself to the stuttering rhythm he set.

Sweat broke out across his brow.

He thrust particularly hard—which had my prostate singing in thanks—and he held himself still. His face contorted as the orgasm ripped through him.

As he filled me, I managed to maintain enough focus to get myself off. That was secondary, though. What mattered was him. His look of wonderment.

The love.

It had been there for days—but I hadn’t trusted it.

Too soon.

Too new.

Too raw.

I hadn’t been in a place to accept it, and he hadn’t been in a place to appreciate it. To understand it.

Now, though, in this moment suspended in time, we saw the truth.

Covered in cum and sweat, we clung to each other long into the morning light.

“Baby.” Jasper pressed his nose to my cheek. “As you said, Kade told them. Donna couldn’t stop crying.”

“Right?”

“In happiness. That herthird chickadeehad found his mate. Her words.” Jasper grinned, repeating Kade’s words.

He and Tanner had come extra early so his parents could have some time with June before Nita, Rohit, and their rowdy twins arrived. Although all three babies were the same age, June was clearly a step behind. So my parents showered her with extra love whenever they could.

All three of the kids would be spoiled rotten as this was their first official Christmas.

Nita’s twins had been mere days old last year. Kade and Tanner hadn’t adopted June until March. Oh, and today was her first birthday. I’d bought a special present to give her tomorrow. She deserved her own special day, and so we’d designated Boxing Day as her birthday.

“Baby, it’s cold out here. Are we going to stand here all day? Because something tells me you usually just walk—”

The door opened on a whoosh.

An uncommonly tall woman stood before me. She had spikey purple hair, soft-blue eyes, and the biggest smile. “You must be Jasper.” She held out her arms, clearly unconcerned I might reject her affection.

I didn’t hesitate. “Hello, Donna.”

Though Kade, she’d sent the message we were eitherDonna and RoborMom and Dad.

Maybe someday I might be able to make that leap.

Today, though, I was still too nervous.
