“My butt’s kind of flat,” I said instead. James shrugged. “I have enough for the both of us.” I put my head in my hands and laughed despite myself. “You do.”
“I noticed you staring at it earlier.”
could certainly already see the big alpha thawing out since we’d started our courtship of Ivy.
His forearms were thick and covered in fine, dark hair. Perfect arms for such a big alpha, making it easy for him to lift you up and—
took a huge bite of my burger. It wasn’t enough. I picked up several fries and stuffed them in my mouth too. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Logan staring at me. “What are you looking at?” I said without thinking, my words muffled around my food. Oh, that was not an attractive move. I was pretty sure there was a fry pointing directly out of my mouth at him. Logan went pink. “I don’t know,” he said, averting his eyes and mumbling so low I barely heard him. “Felt like a moment I’d tell the grandkids about.”
“Wait, Char gave you extra pickles too?” I pointed at the dwindling pile next to his fries. “But the other day…you gave me your pickles because you said you hated them.” “Oh that.” Logan ate a few more fries, chewing thoughtfully. “I lied,” he said frankly. I’d eaten all of them that day. “You gave them to me because you knew I liked them? Even though you like them too?” I said in a small voice. “Yep. Get used to it.” “I will not.” “Then I will only eat whatever you can’t finish.”
Logan kissed me and kissed me, holding me safe in his embrace.
They got her ready for me. My pack got her ready to take my knot.
“Fuck,” I breathed. “Sleep on me any day, princess.” I held her in the gentle quiet until the soft caress of her hand over my body felt like love.
I’d never seen more dumb in love behavior.
“He’s fucking dead,” Logan growled. “Logan,” I gasped. “We’ll murder him so quietly for you, baby.” Rome’s purr was different now, like the rev of a car engine presumably getting ready to run Sean over. James yanked him back by his hair. “You are a music teacher,” he scolded his alpha. “Princess, I’ll find out where he lives.” Logan was undeterred. “A few little snips and his house will be back in stone ages. Maybe he’ll go into debt trying to fix it. Maybe it’ll be the first of many terrible incidents that eventually results in him living in a cardboard box somewhere.” “Logan, sometimes your

“Are you alright?” he said it so quietly I could barely hear him. “I heard…” Saying it out loud felt stupid. “Robyn said you looked good.” He didn’t laugh. He could have and I would have wholly agreed with him. Instead he used his nose to push the round neck of my sweater to the side so he could place a kiss directly on my skin. Oh. That was wonderful. “Settle, baby. I’m yours.” His scent enveloped me, the warm reassurance detaching me from all my problems. My racing
No wonder she was surprised when I pulled up in front of my place. “Not mine?” she asked hesitantly. Logan thumbed her chin tenderly. “No, princess.”
“When did you last eat, princess?” he asked. Ivy lowered her eyes. “Lunch,” she confessed. “I’ll make you something,” he said firmly, standing up. “You go with James.”
“James.” We were in the eye of a hurricane. Me, her and the way she said my name. “Right here, gorgeous.” “I’m yours,” she promised, right before her lips found mine.
When she finished everything she thanked Logan and he kissed her forehead. He told her she did a good job, making her extra flustered before he left with the empty dishes.
She was giving me everything. Yet when I kissed her, I was certain I belonged to her.
He kissed me thoroughly, dipping me into the most ridiculous bend. I was left dizzy and disoriented, clutching my desk like a high society lady thoroughly ravished by a rogue. I had collected myself and dulled my perfume with a fresh application of No-NonScent Deodorant by the time my students arrived. They loved the classroom — how could they not? — and I fought the urge to cry all over again.
Logan’s chest was such a nice pillow.
“Not me.” Logan was back and ready for work. “I shower at night. Can’t be getting in the nest covered in dust and grime or whatever I’ve picked up that day.” He was so dreamy. Logan kissed me goodbye, cradling my face in both his hands and leaving me with enough of his brisk evergreen scent that I got a little head rush.
“Send me cute pics?” I requested, rising on my tiptoes to kiss him. Fingers crossed for a huge bunny or a litter of puppies he would struggle to hold all at once.
“You got it.” James winked. “Selfies all day long.” He was such a— “Get out of here!” I scolded him, pushing him out the door.
Rome turned to me. “Did you hear that?” He closed the gap between us, the air between us igniting with his indulgent wine scent. “We’re a menace, Ivy.”

loved the time we spent together but I was half feral knowing I had Ivy all to myself tonight. It was impossible to keep my hands off her. Opportunistically grazing her cute little butt whenever I moved past her in the kitchen. Kisses on her neck as we cooked dinner together. She shivered once and I draped my shirt over her shoulders.
She was a mess. My mess. Twitching and bucking and
couldn’t stop picturing myself filling her full of my cum. No suppressants, no birth control, full-blown heat. Days of nothing but rutting her. Breeding her. Pushing anything that spilled out back inside her cunt where it belonged. I wanted her pregnant. Carrying our child. Growing our pack family.
I snorted. “Princess, I’ve got you covered with a lifetime supply already.”
“I’m really grateful you went out wandering in that blizzard, princess,” I murmured. “Even though I never want you to ever do anything like that ever again,” I added as a stern afterthought.
She swung it in James’ direction and he clutched his chest like he’d been hit before lunging in her direction and smothering her giggles with kisses.
Logan lightly traced the exact spot Sean had marked me. “Let me take care of him for you.” He said it so sweetly, yet it was probably the most dangerous I’d ever seen him. “No actual murder,” I whispered. I felt like it was really needed to clarify that. “Don’t do anything that will get you arrested.” Sean wasn’t worth that. “Of course not, princess. Only what he deserves.” I gazed into the burning eyes of my big, protective alpha and nodded.
But I had a more important mission first. Get back to my omega and make sure she knew she was ours.
“Taking good care of you, I see, princess.”
I drank in the sight of Logan. My heart fluttered, lovestruck by this alpha who had defended me.
“Eyes on me, princess.”
“We’re going to bond you one day,” Logan said quietly. “Start a family with you. Love you for the rest of our lives. I hope you know that.” The feeling in my chest grew too big, too fast. I quickly swiped away the tear that spilled from my eye. “Baby—” “No, it’s good,” I reassured Rome quickly. “But you know me. I want to plan what our future looks like. Start hunting for a pack house. Decide when would be a good time to go off suppressants and birth control.”
Logan nuzzled his beard against me. “I love you, sweet girl.” He chuckled. “I’m going to spend a lot of time deciding where to bite you.” His mouth ghosted over my neck. Down the slope of my shoulder. The top of my spine. “I was waiting for you before I even knew you were meant to be mine. What’s another year or two?”
Logan pulled her close, his broad hand across her stomach. “Everyone’s going to know,” he murmured. “Know what?” she asked, her voice breathy. “That we went away and fucked until we put a baby in you.”
“I wanted to keep you.” Ivy blinked up at me, the sweetest omega in the entire world. All instinct and all love at the same time. I didn’t even care that she’d done it while locked with Logan. This pack, this heat, these building blocks of family, it made sense like nothing else did. My lips found hers, a little too warm and tasting of all of us. I was already hers, anyway.
