“That was hot,” Logan whispered. “I might need Dean’s help planting these flowers.”
Aaron pulled back and laughed.
“I better get to work,” Logan declared before going to the back of his truck.
“Let’s finish walking the pups,” Carter told him. “I have dinner in the oven.”
Aaron snorted. “That seems safe.”
“It’s fine,” Carter assured him.
“Okay.” Aaron slipped his hand into Carter’s as they walked down the path that would lead them to Carter’s house. It was becoming the regular routine that Aaron just loved.
“Hey, look at that,” Carter pointed at something ahead of them through the trees.
Glancing up, Aaron saw the rainbow that Carter was trying to show him. “Oh my God!” Flowers, rainbows, and puppies.” “Oh my God!”
“Must be fate,” Carter whispered in his eat.
Aaron turned to look up at him. “It must be.”
Carter smiled. “I like the sound of that.”
He did too. Aaron had been fighting for so long. Just this once he’d lean on someone else. To trust. Perhaps it was time that Aaron embraced what the fates thought might be best for him.

Carter
Tonight was the night. Whether it was the mate pull or just Aaron being his sweet self, but Carter was falling in love. And Carter was taking his mate to bed. He tried to use the word mate often enough that Aaron would get used to hearing it.
At least Aaron had stopped stiffening up when Carter said the word.
And after two weeks of daily or nightly dates, Carter couldn’t hold back any longer. He needed Aaron. The kisses weren’t enough. was enamored with his angel.
“They’re all settled in,” Aaron said as Carter finished cleaning the kitchen.
Carter finished drying his hands on a towel before tossing it over his shoulder. Dropping his gaze he took in how relaxed Aaron appeared in Carter’s house. Aaron walked around barefoot in a pair of old sweatpants and a loose cotton shirt. He was absolutely edible.
“Good job Pa,” Carter teased.
“Pa?” Aaron asked. “How did I become Pa?”
“Well I’m obviously Daddy,” Carter replied. He gave Aaron a wink.
“You do have all the Daddy vibes,” Aaron agreed.
“I heard a rumor about kinky men around town.” It was more than a rumor. There was a kink club owned by one of the paranormal members. And his brother might have slipped and called Bas Daddy earlier.
Aaron’s eyes grew wide before he began to blink rapidly.
Carter was pretty proud of himself for catching Aaron off guard.
Aaron cocked his head. “What’s going on?”
“I’m asking if your kinky Aaron,” Carter replied bluntly.
“I…”
