“Your scales are coming up,” I informed him as if he couldn’t feel them rise up on his skin in response to the warm water. Theyspeckled across his skin like metal freckles. I traced between them on his thighs until he pulled me into his lap.
“We need to have the kid talk now,” he announced.
“We couldn’t have had that on land with our pants on?” I laughed.
“We’ve been so caught up with whether Cobalt’s going to have swimmers or sinkers that I think I took it for granted that we’d have kids.”
“But we will,” I said. “We absolutely will. We’ll have at least two. No only children here. I know, I know. Cobalt and Odie will probably have a kid too but I’m not taking any chances. So, if you commit to one, you’re committing to at least two.”
“Fair and I’d never commit to only one because that’s how you get the universe to give you four at once,” he laughed. “Not tempting the universe. I guess the only question is when.”
“That’s something I sort of agree with Odie about,” I said and bit my lip. “If someone brings a scalpel near your balls, I’m not responsible for how I react right now. My wolf has too many decades of pent-up rage to be held responsible for what he does under the influence of this magic. These are mine for now,” I reached down and cupped the objects in question. “No cutting. No rewiring. None of that. If it’s not to save your life no bleeding.”
“That doesn’t answer the when part, mate,” he said, his voice dropping deep now that I had my hand on his goods.
“Whenever nature says so,” I shrugged. “Seriously, I’ve been ready for a while. Sure, I always imagined raising two little babies in the apartment until their growing collection of stuff forced us to move. We just did things out of order. Which is okay too. I like the cabin. It’s nice to be this far away from everyone else. Hey! You met my dad but have your parents called or anything?”
“They did while you were marking the house as yours.”
“As ours,” I corrected him. “We’re like a little four or five person pack. We count Teal, right? Well, of course we count him. Sorry. Hard to think with your dick feeling up on my hand.”
“On your hand?” he asked, arching a brow. “I think it’s your hand playing with my balls.”
“Well, excuse me for trying to protect them from all these rogue scalpels,” I said, arching my own eyebrows up to copy his expression. “The first lesson of business is to protect the means of production.”
“Sheesh. You sound like Teal now. Only he--- never mind what he says about the means of production.”
“Let’s save that for later,” I shrugged. “I’m sure he’ll get his way sooner or later. He has a lot of support.”
“Don’t say it like that,” Indigo groaned. “He’s not staging a coup. He’s growing some food and stuff in places he’s not allowed to. At the very most he’s having an agricultural revolution.”
“Long live the revolution of food,” I shrugged. “I sort of want to get out of here because hot water and slick don’t mix. Well, it does but the hot water wins. On the other hand,” I gave his boys a gentle squeeze for emphasis. “I’m rather fond of holding onto these.”
“You keep that up and we’ll never get out of here.”
“Oh, no! Oh, no! I’ve been kidnapped by a dragon! Oh, no!” I mock yelled.
In a swift motion, Indigo flipped me around so that my elbows were up on the hot tub and he was behind me. Cooler evening air danced over my naked back, giving me a brief chill before his warm, scale-speckled flesh was against it.
“Now, you’ve been kidnapped.”
“I’ve been flipped around and exposed,” I laughed and kissed his big hand that held both of mine together. His other arm was around me rubbing on my chest and stomach as hishard, throbbing cock rubbed between my cheeks. I ground back against him, slick enough to enjoy the sliding sensation. He kissed the back of my neck and traced up and down it with the tip of his warm, nimble tongue. His hand slid down and brushed against my dick. I ground back against him again, reveling in how big and warm he was. I could’ve stayed in his arms forever.
“I have more questions,” he whispered in my ear.
“So, kidnapped and interrogated?” I laughed.
“We’ve settled on yes for kids. Now, are you ready for forever?” he asked, and my heart skipped a beat.
Forever was a long ass time. Forever meant no more dating sites. No more wondering if someone would like me and Odie or if they’d understand our dynamic at all. It meant no more explaining it over and over to strangers who either thought it was kinky or too bizarre. It meant no more wondering if the war had killed my true-mate as it had so many people I knew back then.
“Yes,” I nodded. “But let’s do the whole foreplay thing first and maybe the mating thing too. I mean, Odie and Cobalt are raw and badasses and all that but I don’t care so much about being a badass. I don’t want it to hurt.”
“Noted and I think we’ve already started the foreplay thing,” he said. “Next question.”
“Yes?”
“Do you want to be claimed in the bed or out here under the stars?”
