“Do you belong to them?” I asked.
“And you now. You smell so much like your friend. I get it.”
“We don’t even have the excuse of sharing a womb,” I laughed, hoping it sounded less weird if I joked about it.
“That isn’t the only way people become family.”
“You are nothing like I expected. Everyone knows you three. Well, everyone knows Teal but everyone talks about you like when you got deep throated at the bar by that elf…”
“That feels like a different life,” Cobalt let out a long, slow breath.
“Look, I don’t hold it against you. I get it. Ambry and I have shared boyfriends before.”
“I don’t think I want to share you that way. It doesn’t smell like you and Ambry hook up,” Cobalt said.
“We don’t. We’re not like that.”
“Indigo and me aren’t going anywhere. So, there’s no reason for you to lose Ambry,” Cobalt said, almost like anannouncement of a law and coming from him I almost believed it.
Chapter Four
Cobalt
By the time the others finished with the stocking I was ready to get up off the floor. I hated the thought of Odell not being pushed up against me, but the floor was killing my back. Not even dragon bones would save someone from needing a chiropractor if they had to sleep on that floor every night. I pushed myself up, taking him with me. He held on tight even once we were upright.
“Are you leaving now?” Missy asked, glancing back and forth between us and Indigo and Ambry who held onto each other too. “I hope so. I really do.”
“Will you be alright on your own?” Ambry asked.
I had a feeling that this was their usual song and dance number. Ambry wanted to get the hell out of here but didn’t want to leave anyone hanging if there was still work to be done.
“Go on, get,” Missy shooed him with her clipboard. “All of you go on and don’t come back until you’re in better moods! I expect an invitation to the baby shower by the way!”
“Did Teal leave already?” I asked, ignoring her waving clipboard as the four of us started toward the door.
“He went to deliver the fruit. I’m not sure if he’s coming back tonight or not. Probably not. Well, maybe. I don’t know. He’ll let us know. He feels undecided, doesn’t he?” Indigo asked.
“Where are we going?” I asked as we neared the car.
“The apartment,” Odell and Ambry said in sync.
The pair of omegas shared a long look that I couldn’t quite discern the meaning behind. I squinted studying my mate’s expression and scent. We’d talked a lot inside the grocery storeabout why their exes had became exes and some of that included the size of the apartment.
“There’s only one bed at the apartment,” Ambry said a moment later. “We usually share.”
“We can sleep on the floor if we have to,” Indigo said before I could speak. “Or we can buy another one or whatever.”
“We can all squeeze into one if that’ll make you happy. Remember that crappy hotel on Hemlock Mountain?” I laughed. “All three of us tried to sleep in one twin bed.”
Indigo laughed and the omegas blinked at me as if they were trying to imagine me and my brothers all in one bed.
“Hey! We made it work,” I pointed out.
“We did but we don’t want to break their bed. Our house is always an option when you two are comfortable enough. We have four bedrooms. Though we really have only slept in one unless one of us has a guest over,” Indigo said.
Odell yawned and I hit the button to open the wings of the car. Ambry rolled his eyes but my mate grinned at me. I nodded to the backseat and tossed the keys to Indigo who caught them.
“I drove here,” he frowned at me. “And you two---”
