Page 74 of His Rejected Alpha Mate
“Weird?” I asked. “How is it weird?”
Her laugh was pure sunshine, and it warmed my insides. “It’s too hard. I want my squishy bed.”
“Well, Papa wanted to watch over you now that he’s home, but he and the baby —“
“Hayden,” she interrupted.
“Papa and Hayden need their sleep.”
“I’m okay, Papa. Just tired.” She yawned. All her energy gone.
“Do you want to have a nap?” I was happy to let her rest if we were going to get little snatches of chatter from her. She seemed fine, just utterly exhausted.
“My bed.” Her eyes closed with her final demand.
Dakota chuckled. “You heard the little lady. Let’s move her.” He scooped her up, and I maneuvered around him with the I.V and catheter tubing. Our movements were easier this time with the practice run the night before.
“Still want that shower?” Dakota asked once we had her safely tucked up.
“Absolutely.”
We needed a bigger shower if this was going to be a regular thing, and I really wanted this more. It wasn’t the easiest to fit us both in there with my rounded stomach. Our son was wriggling away, buoyed by my good mood. Bit of a passion killer, but I was soon distracted by how fine my mate looked with water sluicing down his amazing body.
Dakota was huge. Everywhere. Or at least compared to me, he was. I adored the dusting of hair over his chest and sculpted abs. His thick hairy thighs were mouth watering at the best of times, but with water running over him? I was about to combust with how much I wanted him.
“Like what you see?” He smirked as he ran a large hand through his hair, scraping it off his face.
“You know I do.”
“So gorgeous. I could look at you all day.” I scoffed. “You’re stunning. You know that, right?” He wound an arm around me, bringing us together. I came to his shoulder, and I rested my head in the hollow there. “I’m so awed that you’re mine.” He cupped my chin, his dark eyes lit with a preternatural light that gave him away as a shifter, just the same as my amber eyes did for me. I would never tire of looking at that face and seeing so much warmth and love there.
Our lips met in a tender kiss, and I luxuriated in the feeling of it. Opening up to let his tongue inside, the kiss went deeper, fast. Dakota pulled me tighter against him. I couldn’t hide a twinge of discomfort at my stomach being squashed against him. He eased me away from him and turned me so my back was against him.
“This okay?” He shifted, knees slightly bent, so that his hard cock slid along my crack, down and over my taint, the tip hitting my balls. He used the water and some soap to ease the way as he pumped his hips in time to the strokes of his hand on my length. His lips found my neck. Nips and licks sent my arousal spiraling higher.
I moved against him, the feel of his cock over my hole and taint driving me wild. I wanted him inside me, but we were hungry for more than just sex. This was about reconnecting and showing our love for each other, as well as getting off.
It didn’t take long for both of us to reach our peak. The feel of Dakota’s release against my hole running down to my balls had me coming over his hand. I heard him grunt at the effort of pushing back his knot over the ringing in my ears.
Dakota washed us quickly and turned the water off. My legs were wet noodles from how hard I’d orgasmed. Dakota supported me as I wrapped myself in a massive, fluffy towel.
“Do you want to sleep it off while I make breakfast?” Dakota grinned at me.
“Yes, please.” I yawned.
He kissed the tip of my nose as I lay down on the bed.
“Be back soon.”
The heavenly scent of eggs and bacon woke me some time later. Dakota entered the room with a tray laden with food. There was orange juice, green tea, toast and a plate loaded with crispy bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs. “If I didn’t already love you, this would have sealed the deal.”
“So all I should have done was to appear at your door and feed you when we first met?”
My smile slipped off my face. “Kota—“
“We need to learn to joke about it, Jas.” He adjusted the tray and sat on the bed next to me. “We ended up here. It’s perfect now. Angel is fine. We’re together. We have a baby on the way. I think I actually appreciate what we have more because of it.”
I took a minute to think about what he said. “You’re right.”
