“If I thought it would work, I would have paid her to take advantage.She’s...perfect.”Hector got up to get the tea steeping.
Drift smiled.“I haven’t met a female delta before, but she’s stunning.Not just because I barely need to bend my neck to kiss her while standing.”
Tekumi chuckled.“I find her perfect.”
Hector poured the tea.“See?Two out of three mates say she’s perfect.”
Drift inclined his head.“I never said she wasn’t.It is going to be rough for her with the three of us.She isn’t an omega.”
Hector snorted.“One of those trembling sighs and I can get her all the slick she needs.”
Drift chuckled.
Tekumi asked, “Hector, why didn’t you seek a pack?”
“Never found one that was interesting to me.I am off the roles of the Omega Centre.My parents paid the price to allow me to be sterilized.That was hefty, but I was so much happier without the threat of pregnancy looming over me.Not many packs want a sterile omega.”
“And then you met Ax, and you were smitten.”
“I put myself into her path every chance I had and started inviting her out for coffee.She has a sister who is an omega, so she was comfortable with my clingy habits.Which I suddenly developed.”
Drift laughed.“What does your life look like with her?”
“I want to persuade her to be a fitness model for the gym.When she’s pumped up, she’s amazing, and I want to stare at her all day.”
Tekumi asked, “How much can she lift?”
“She can press three hundred and leg press five hundred.I suppose that should have been my clue that she wasn’t precisely human.”
Tekumi chuckled.“Yes, that would be a clue.She’s stronger than I thought.She wasn’t really trying to injure us then.Good to know.”
Drift sipped his tea.“I think it was just because we all got sweaty.It was hard to get a grip.”
Tekumi summoned his phone and said, “What do we want for our pack?Is this home good?”
Drift paused.“For now.I wouldn’t mind something larger with more space.”
Hector cocked his head.“There are six rooms.”
“And if she gets pregnant, six are taken up with a nursery and a caregiver or family guest.Her sister is in a quad as well, so a visit from them blows out the house.”
Hector paused.“You have a point.And I have one less available room in the nest.”
Drift nodded.“This is a good family home, but it is snug for a packhouse.Will you move when it’s time?”
Hector’s expression got sly.“If I can try for the first baby.Yes.”
Drift paused and looked at Tekumi.“You can have the first hour, if she agrees.She will go into our arms because she wants to, not because she has to.She will not be feeling the same drive that you do.”
Hector frowned.“Right.”
“And if she does carry, it will be with a lot of support from us so that she doesn’t regret it and that it doesn’t stress her out.And it will stress her out.She’s built for battle, not babies.”Tekumi smiled.
Hector nodded.“Right.So, where can we build a house?My parents are still alive and will be delighted at this turn of events.”
Drift grinned.“As will mine.They are loving the influx of grandbabies.”
Tekumi smiled.“The friends I have gained in the last decade are also starting families.”
