“Oh yeah?”

“Yup…to goose someone.”

“Uhmm, you mean to fuck someone?”

“Uh-huh. I thought it was so funny when I read it cause I was picturing me getting goosed,” Kieran said, snickering.

“Is this what you’ll be teaching our pup?”

“Of course!”

Groaning, Logan said, “I amsoscrewed. My brothers are going to kill me when our pup starts teaching their pups this stuff.”

Suddenly, Kieran’s eyes widened as he saw the clock on the nightstand. Scrambling out of bed, he shouted, “It’s almost time for the sunrise! C’mon, get out of bed,macushla!Chop! Chop!” Kieran pushed open the heavy drapes and looked towards the east, waiting for his color to appear.

Logan walked up behind his mate, wrapping a blanket around them both before pulling Kieran tight to him, relishing the feel of naked skin on his. Kissing his mate’s head, Logan whispered his love to Kieran before raising his eyes to look east. Thinking about their discussion, he lowered one hand to cover his mate’s belly where their pup grew, sending love and telling the little pup how much he was looking forward to meeting him. Then a thought popped into his head. “Oh, my gods, babe, we haven’t even started the design for his nursery! Have you thought about it? Shit!”

“Oh look! There it is!” Kieran exclaimed, pointing to the sky.

Logan looked where his mate was pointing and sure enough, there was the pink Kieran loved so much. Resting his head on his mate’s, Logan felt peace settle in his soul as the beauty unfolded before them. Watching the sky turn pink before the fiery sun erased it, he thought about his life before Kieran—dark as night. But now, the future glowed with promise. Then it came to him, the inspiration for their pup’s room. When the sun had crested the horizon, Logan pulled his mate into his arms and told him of his idea for their pup’s nursery.

“I love it,” Kieran exclaimed, bouncing on his toes in excitement. “Ohmacushla,that’s a fabulous idea! We must look at furniture, and paint colors and bedding and…oh, my gods…we won’t have enough time today.”

Logan chuckled. “I don’t think we need to do all that today. How about we just look for clothes since that’s what we’ll be shopping with Fionn for.”

“Perfecto!” Kieran said, then realizing they were naked, added, “But first, I need to come this morning. Are you falling down on your duties, oh mate of mine?”

Logan answered by dropping the blanket, scooping Kieran up in his arms and carrying him over to the bed. Smiling at his shrieking mate, he growled, “Ready to be ravished?”

Everything was coming together nicely this time. Contacts found, calls placed and commitments obtained, so now all he had to do was to decide on when it would happen. Grunting as he got out of bed, angry at his need to piss, he cursed getting old and the Fates for giving him this life instead of the life he should have had. Smart, clever and cunning, he could have been given a wife who would have enhanced his standing, but no, what he got was a delicate one who couldn’t see the advantages of lying and cheating to get ahead.

Well no one is holding me back now! All those wasted years with her, bah!, Well, good riddance. Now I can become who I was meant to be!Finishing in the bathroom, he heard his phone ring and hurried back to see who it was. “Hello?” he rasped out.

“I have the information you need to make the first payment.”

“Just a minute.” Grabbing a pencil and paper from the desk in his hotel room, he said, “Go ahead.” After scribbling it down, he read it back.

“That’s correct. When will it be made?”

“Today, as soon as I can transfer the funds in the morning.”

“Once I’ve received word the payment cleared, we’ll be ready to go. Any idea when?”

“Not yet. I need one more piece of information and when I get it, I’ll give you the date.”

“Okay. We’ll be waiting.”

After the call ended, he shut off his phone and climbed back into bed. It was still several hours before daylight and he needed more sleep.

Logan glanced around the dining table in their hotel suite, making sure everyone had finished eating so they could plan the day and he could make his announcement. “Colton, we’re going over to Fionn’s house this morning to pack up his stuff and ship what he doesn’t need to California. Miss L, do you want to come with us?”

“If you don’t mind, I’m going to go to the spa to get my hair done along with a massage. I’ve been dying to try it out. I can meet you all for lunch,” Lizzie said.

“Doctor, do you have anything at Fionn’s?” Logan asked Rom.
