“Touch me, alpha. Make me come.”
He pushed up enough to reach between us, his hand finding my hard length and moving in time with his thrusts. It didn’ttake long before his hand was coated with my cum and his name was torn from my lips.
He stilled, his knot beginning to form. Then he leaned forward, teeth sinking into my shoulder. The sting and burn were quickly replaced by a feeling of completeness I didn’t know was possible. I now understood what he meant when he said I was home because, right there in his arms, for the first time in my entire life, I was home.
Chapter Sixteen
Lux
After we mated, Lux checked out of the Mates Motel and into my place. We hadn’t made the official decision of where we were going to live at the time because, while he didn’t have a house at that time, the contractors were actively working on replacing the one he’d lost due to lightning.
When they finally came back to him with the plans for the rebuild, we sat down and had a long talk. We made lists of pros and cons for each of our places, especially with both the baby coming and his business. There was so much to consider.
In the end, we decided to stay here until his place was built and then move over there. The insurance company was shockingly easy to deal with, and we were able to work with the contractor to alter floor plans as long as we stayed with the same footprint as the original house. In the end, we built a nursery that connected to our bedroom. Our thought was that it could be turned into his office when the baby moved to their own bedroom. Best of all, the land gave my fox a ton of space to run around and hunt in.
But deciding to move meant that even though my omega was now seven months pregnant, we were packing to move. I was half ready to say, “We changed our minds,” and stay here until after our kit was born. But the thought of moving with a newborn was even worse.
They had delivered the furniture we’d bought for many of the rooms, already. There was still so much from here that needed to be moved over. I felt bad that my mate had gone through so much getting to the point where we could move into the house. Actively watching the first one burn to the ground hadto have been horrifying. And the process from ruin to new home was intense.
“I think I’m done in this room.” Rain stood in the doorway, his hands on his rounded belly. He was so freaking adorable pregnant, I couldn’t even stand it.
I noticed a piece of tape on his shirt as he got up.
“Are you all packed up, too?” I reached for it and pulled it off.
“I don’t even know where that came from.” He rubbed his left side. When he first started doing that, I thought he was in pain and worried a ton. Now, I knew he was rubbing where the baby was kicking because he felt like he was comforting our little one.
“I think the only thing we have left to pack up is the remaining kitchen stuff and the bathroom,” I said. It was still a lot, but less of a lot.
We had people coming to help us move, and I was able to use Bobby’s truck, making it a one-trip-and-done…in theory.
“How much time do we have?”
I looked at my phone. “Geoff and Bennett should be here in about twenty minutes. Gary and Maggie, not for another hour.”
“Could I take a really quick power nap?”
“Absolutely.”
He curled up on the couch and almost instantly fell asleep.
I used that time to pack everything else up. My mate was so exhausted, he didn’t even seem to hear them come in, and we started to unload the house into the truck with him still sound asleep. Finally, I needed to wake him.
I brushed a kiss against his cheek. “Honey, we need the couch.”
“Five minutes,” he mumbled. “Do the bedroom first.”
“I started in the bedroom,” I told him. “All of the rooms are empty, except for this one.”
That had his eyes popping open.
“You need to help me out because getting onto the couch was easy. Getting up, not so much.” He’d learned that the hard way one day when I was at work early in the week.
We followed them to our new place, where the first thing we brought in was the couch. He climbed right back on it and fell asleep. He wasn’t nearly as exhausted as he was the first part of his pregnancy, but he’d overdone it, so it made sense he was good and done.
I thanked everybody for helping and told them we’d have everyone over for a barbecue once we got settled in.
For unpacking, I started with the bedroom, making sure the bed was made, and then went to the bathroom, making sure all of our toothbrushes and shampoos were where they needed to be. I ended in the kitchen. Everything else could wait. As long as we had some cups and a few pieces of cutlery, we’d be fine.
