“In what way? Why can’t they get pregnant?”
“What if you were with a recessive—”
“Has that alpha said anything to you? I’ll smash his face in if he has. Being recessive doesn’t mean no kids ever. There are pretty successful fertility treatments these days. Okay, they’re expensive. If you want a baby, Brady, we’ll help you out. Won’t we, Noah?”
“Right. Just say the word and we’ll pay whatever clinic. If you don’t want to carry the baby, there’s surrogacy or adoption. Babies don’t have to be blood to be loved.”
I would not cry! I would not! My brothers were the sweetest to ever exist. “Okay, that answers my question and no, Xavi hasn’t said anything. It’s just me worrying. You know how I get.”
There was a collective sigh on the other end of the call. “Good,” Seth said. “We mean it, okay? Any baby you bring home becomes family, and if you ever need anything, we’ve got you.”
“Aww! I love you both!”
My alpha dad’s response was almost word for word the same, complete with threats to harm Xavi if he hurt me. I felt truly blessed to have such a loving family. Dad even gave me a final reminder:
“You don’t know what will happen with your next heat. Don’t borrow trouble. Enjoy each other now instead of worrying about what could happen tomorrow.”
My heat started at a low simmer, like it usually did. I managed to deal with the first wave myself because Xavi was stuck in traffic.
I called him while he was on the road to show him what I was doing with the toy he’d bought for me. “See how easily it’s going in? I’m waiting for you.”
Xavier cursed and revved the engine. “Fucking traffic! I’m about to abandon this damn car. To hell with getting it towed.”
Seeing him all worked up from our call had me giggling. “Just get here safely, okay? I need that cock.”
Forty minutes later, as the next wave grew demanding, I opened the door to Xavier. He must have taken the stairs since he was sweating heavily.
He crashed into me, picked me off my feet and pushed me against the wall. My legs went around him automatically, my fingers in his hair.
His kiss was rough, desperate. He licked into my mouth as if he owned it. Maybe he did. No one made me feel like he did.
My robe was roughly torn open seconds before I felt Xavi’s cock breach my entrance. I was so wet from our kiss and the dominance he displayed that he slid in right to the hilt.
The alpha fucked me there against the wall as the wave of heat crested. My cries filled the tiny hallway.
“Xavi, Xavi, please.” The neighbors would just have to deal with it. My alpha was making me see stars.
I couldn’t get enough of him. My hands raked over his back. I tried to peel him out of his shirt, but he wouldn’t stop kissing and licking over my scent gland to give me space.
“Please!” His thrusts grew harder as he tried to get deeper into my body.
Xavier grunted and licked my throat. He was almost savage, just on the right side of pain. I loved every second of it.
“Stroke yourself,” he growled before sucking a mark on my collarbone.
I got a hand between us and stroked only a few times before I shot between us.
Xavier’s come flooded my ass just as his knot swelled. He ground it deeper into me as I came once more.
“Fuck!” I heard him mutter. His sweat soaked head rested against the wall.
“You okay?” my voice came out hoarse from crying out his name.
“Left the damn hamper in the car.”
I laughed, earning a groan as I tightened around his cock. “Get it later.”
He walked while still inside me and laid me on my bed. There was something so tender in his expression. My body ached with the feeling of being used, but I also felt safe now he was here in my arms.
