Page 86 of His Impossible Elf Mate
“You did good. Thank you for not doing the baby’s room. I wanted to do that together.”
I washed up quickly so we could visit with Roan and his family. Kanako was a little beauty and had alreadywrapped everyone around her little finger. Her sister, Jewel, was very protective of her, so we did not get to hold her for long.
“Where’s Larken?” Axel asked as we were leaving, noticing boxes by the door.
“Um… he’s moved into one of the cabins temporarily. We’ve got a new guard, Ingal.” Hiroshi was unusually close-lipped over the situation.
“An elf is moving in?” Axel asked, surprised. Raising an eyebrow at him, he spluttered, “obviously there’s nothing wrong with living with an elf. I’ve got one of my own!”
Hiroshi laughed, clearly relieved we were no longer talking about Larken. “Yeah, Ingal is fascinated with shifters. He’s keen to get his own animal form. I guess he thought if he became part of our family it might unlock it.”
“Since we do not fully know the wishes of The Luna, we can only hope he is right. Congratulations on the new arrivals to your family. Health and happiness to you all.”
“And you!”
We returned to our home where I began dinner. “I’m not so hungry for food right now,” Axel said, grinning as he tried to climb onto the counter.
I gave up on the food preparation and hoisted him up, running my hands up his thighs. “Hmm, what are you hungry for, my mate?”
“You, inside me, knotting me. We have to get our scents everywhere. Before Chase comes home.”
I nosed a path up his neck and along his jaw, pressing the gentlest kiss on his lips. “Well, in that case.”
He wriggled out of his pants and flung his t-shirt on the floor. Just the sight of my naked mate had me hard and ready for him.
“Right here?” I asked as I stripped.
“Yeah, right here, right now.” I could see slick forming a little puddle under him. His cock was full and leaking against his stomach.
Without needing much more urging, I lined up and thrust in.
“It reeks of sex in here. I hope you cleaned the counters. Don’t tell me where you did it, just let me pretend it was on the floor.”
“As if I would have sex with your brother on the kitchen floor. Just the living room floor,” I teased.
“Dude. No.”
Axel was resting against me. After our first round, I fed him a snack and then he’d wanted more. The rug on the living room floor was very soft. Axel had liked it against his bare skin.
“Can we do the baby’s room now?” Axel asked sleepily as he roused against my shoulder.
“You are not having sex in my niece’s bedroom!” Chase looked horrified.
“What? No, I mean get it unpacked.” Axel frowned at his brother. “Why are you talking about sex?”
“Y’know what? I think we should just focus on the baby’s room. You go do that. I’ll cook.”
“Chase can cook?” I asked Axel.
“He’s pretty decent when he takes the time. Consider yourself honored.”
We left Chase to cook and took the stairs up to the baby’s room. She would not sleep in there for a few months, but it helped to have somewhere for all the clothes and stuffed animals people had been sending for her.
I let Axel tell me where to place the bigger items and carried boxes over to where he needed them while he unpacked them, folding the contents neatly into drawers.
“Could you put up the shade? She can sleep in here for nap time, help her get used to it.”
“Of course. Where would you like the rocking chair?”
