I snap out of my thoughts and smile at him. “Let’s do our best to keep E.A. in relaxation mode. What does he usually have for breakfast when he’s feeling relaxed?”
Toshi explains E.A. being relaxed means he’s a less rigid about what he’ll eat and where he’ll eat it from. I nod along and then ask him to go get a breakfast order from the nearest place that E.A. enjoys when he’s relaxed.
The more I think about it, the more I know fate brought me here because I’m the only one who has any damn chance of retrieving that evidence.
I go into the bedroom and fish through my closet until I find a couple of outfits that will help me hide E.A.’s mark. I don’t need my boss at Anchor West realizing I’ve become mated over the weekend.
I roll the clothes up carefully and put them into a shopper bag, with a sweater and my hairdryer on top. I already have enough clothing at E.A.’s apartment to last the weekend, but I definitely didn’t have anything work appropriate or with a high neckline to slip into on Monday before I leave to go start my assignment. Now, I’ll have what I need.
I hear E.A. groan from the bed, and I turn, wondering if he’s finally waking up.
He makes a few soft noises before he sits up.
“I slept in, didn’t I?” he asks, sounding worn-out as he looks back at me.
“It’s only a little after ten,” I tell him. “I didn’t have an alarm set.”
“That’s okay,” he says. “I don’t have any clients this week. At least, I don’t have any booked in.”
He sounds relaxed, for sure. It’s a good start.
“Toshi came over to walk us home,” I tell him as I perch sideways on the edge of the bed. “I sent him out for breakfast, but he should be back soon.”
“How are you feeling?” he asks, his dark eyes full of concern.
“Oh … I’m fine. I don’t know what happened last night, exactly, but it wasn’t normal.”
He gives me a wry smile. “I’m not sure I should use my knot on you again. It might be a little too intense.”
“It might be,” I admit. “But I liked it, and I’d like to try it again.”
“You would?” he asks, raising an eyebrow at me.
“Maybe not right at this minute.”
He laughs. “I wasn’t suggesting you wanted it right now.”
But his tone doesn’t match his words. I can see the lump that’s only partially hidden by my bedsheets. He woke up horny, and the way he’s looking at me is making me feel like I’m wearing too many clothes. He moves closer and kisses me, and that’s when Toshi knocks on the front door.
I break the kiss. “Toshi’s back with the food.”
“Tell him to leave it in the kitchen. We can have it after.”
I raise an eyebrow at him. “After?”
He blinks. “Do you want to be mated to him?”
“Of course,” I tell him. “Do you?”
“He’s made me wait for this for long enough,” he says, frowning and nodding before he throws back the covers and gets up. “I’ll let him in. You can relax right here and wait for us.”
I admire his body in passing, and then he’s out of my sight and I’m alone in the bedroom with the prospect of both taking a new mate and watching Toshi with my existing Alpha imminent.
Arousal crashes over me, making my knees weak and my body warm.
I don’t need to ask myself if I want this. There’s no doubt in my mind.
I hope Toshi makes it obvious there’s no doubt in his when E.A. invites him into bed with us.
