They smiled brightly. “Good. Now, let me bond you for real, the way I wanted to.”
I nodded. “Please, make me yours.”
Indi kissed me softly, like I was something precious they might accidentally break. Their hands shifted to my waist, lining me up.
I was still so relaxed from being in heat that they slid right in, filling me up quickly. A gasp escaped my lips as they fucked me slowly, purposefully. Everything about this moment was soft and beautiful.
“I love you, Indigo,” I said quietly.
“I love you too, Joon. And I always will.”
We kept going. The water sloshed around us, probably making a mess only Cameo would care about.
“Want to take my knot?” they asked.
“Please,” I all but begged for it.
They started pressing it in, filling me up so entirely I wasn’t sure there was a space of my mind left to occupy.
As the last bit of it fell in place, Indi grabbed my arm, right above my tattoo, and bit down, his teeth going through my skin like butter.
The final piece of me that felt missing snapped into place. That final piece of self-doubt I felt getting decimated by the space Indi now took up inside of me. I cried even more as they licked the pain away.
We kept going like that until we finished in each other's arms.
Nothing had ever felt as perfect as this. We stayed like that, locked together, until I could feel my fingers pruning. I knew we should get out soon, but I wanted to stay like this a little longer. Even when their knot went down, I held them deep inside of me.
My eyes blinked open as the door clicked open and Eva stood there, fully naked, looking to have just gotten up. “Did you guys bond?” she asked.
I nodded.
“I thought I felt it. We’re whole now.”
Tears started streaming down her face. It seemed the water works were going to become a regular thing, especially with the pregnancy.
“Get in here,” I said, knowing she needed a hug.
She didn’t make me ask twice, crawling into the tub and pressing to my back, hugging me.
“I’m so happy,” she sobbed.
“Me too,” Indi and I said at the same time.
“Why is there more crying?” Cameo asked, coming to the door.
“They’re bonded, and we’re all bonded, and I’m so happy,” Eva said.
Cameo came to the bath, kneeling in front of it, rubbing her face. “That’s good,” he conceded.
It seemed he was realizing he would need to get used to the tears, or maybe she was just wearing him down.
Marcus’ room door opened, and he walked into the bathroom, the whole pack joining in on our bath.
He came and sat beside Cameo on the side of the tub. We could have gotten out and moved anywhere else, but it seemed everyone was content here.
Cameo said something snarky, and Eva splashed him, sparking a water fight that left everyone wet.
But the time we were done, everyone was laughing and smiling.
