Slowly, Titan carried Mathlin around the cabin, so Mathlin could scribble spells on the eaves and above the windows. When he was done, Mathlin scrambled off Titan easily, without even needing a hand.
“So... it’s warded?” Titan murmured.
Mathlin nodded. “Your cabin is safer now.”
Titan wanted it to beour cabin,but maybe it was still too early to mention it. “I was wondering,” he said instead. “What do omegas like to have in their nests?”
Mathlin perked up. “All their favorite things! Like snacks, books and blankets!”
Those were manageable. He wasn’t asking for diamond rings and jewelry. Titan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Don’t forget the pickup lines,” Hamilton said helpfully.
“No,” said Titan and Mathlin at the same time.
Hamilton cackled. “You didn’t forget, did you? You said you would pay me in the form of pickup lines. I want to hear you reading them.”
“Oh, hell,” Titan groaned.
Hamilton’s eyes gleamed. “Also, don’t forget about the magical healing cock.”
“That’s not real,” Mathlin said doubtfully. “I mean, it’s just a thing that happens in books.”
“But have you personally tried it?” Hamilton asked.
“Well... no,” Mathlin mumbled.
“So you can’t say it doesn’t work!” Hamilton crowed, flouncing away.
Titan chewed his lip. “I won’t say no to trying. There’s a ton of things I need my arms for.”
Mathlin blushed bright red. “Fine, we’ll try it.”

THE MAGICAL HEALING PEEN
“So... How are we doing this?”Mathlin asked, standing awkwardly next to Titan’s bed.
He’d barely had time to think about everything that had happened today—Titan building him a nest, Titan bringing him a stroller-cart, and thebaby.
I might be pregnant with Titan’s pup.
It still didn’t feel real. He hadjustbeen pregnant with Jannie! And his belly didn’t look any different from last week.
“I could jerk you off,” Titan said slowly, nudging the door shut behind them. “Or...”
Mathlin looked up at the promise in his voice.
With slow, deliberate strides, Titan closed the distance between them, backing Mathlin against the bed. This felt different from the other times they had been intimate. Titan was even more of a predator right now, a big bad wolf here to devour Mathlin.
A hot thrill sizzled up Mathlin’s spine.
Titan’s mouth curved, sharp teeth flashing. “I have reason to believe that you’re violating the law, Mathlin Purrfew. Stand next to the wall, and put your hands up where I can see them.”
Heat surged between Mathlin’s legs. He moved shakily to the wall, standing with his legs parted, his hands braced against smooth wood. “Oh gods, you’re doing this.”
Titan came closer, his warmth soaking into Mathlin’s back. “Good,” the alpha purred. He slid his large hand up Mathlin’s side, his palm heavy as he smoothed it over Mathlin’s belly and down—right over his bulge. Mathlin jerked.
