“Mate? Can we talk?”

Lachlan glanced at Kieran, who had come to visit him in his office, his smile making Lachlan happy to pause in his work.

“Of course, love. What is it?”

Kieran came to kiss him when he held out his hand to draw him in. “Two things. I want to fly with you.”

He blinked, stared, and immediately nodded. “There’s nothing I’d love more.”

“Nothing?” Kieran arched an eyebrow.

“Well, maybe…” Lachlan grinned. “What’s the other thing.”

Kieran went to sit in his lap. “Do you want more babies?”

“I do. I know we talked about it a little bit before but as long as you do I would love that.”

“Because I want more babies.” Kieran stroked his heated cheek. “I want them a lot. With you.”

“So what are you saying? You want to start now?”

“Yes. I think with my next heat we should just go ahead and try for it.”

Lachlan searched his face, his gaze serious. “I want that, too.”

“I do know that Micah’s young, but Lars and Bryant are pregnant again, and those two boys are so close together. It might be nice to have our next babies close together, too.” The words all exploded out of Kieran in a rush.

“I think it would be.” Lachlan winked at his mate, waggling his eyebrows. “I mean, the simple fact is it will be fun to practice one way or the other.”

“Why did I know that was going to be your response?” Kieran blew out a long, slow breath, winking at his mate, obviously fighting a goofy assed grin. “And I think it’s time for me to move into your bedroom. I want to keep my rooms, though, for bigger a studio, a craft room, something where it’s just mine, no babies. Is that okay?”

He nodded. “That sounds perfect.” Of course it was all right. Lachlan would never deny Kieran anything. “Is it okay if I say I’m very excited about this?”

Kieran snuggled right in, grinning wide. “Which part?”

He shrugged, his cheeks heated. “All of it, but especially the flying. I love flying; it’s one of the times where I don’t feel like a big, hulking, awkward monster. The other time is when we’re practicing making babies.”

“Listen to you.” Kieran kissed Lachlan’s cheek. “I love you.”

“Mmhmm, and I adore you. We’ll get Alban to watch our Micah, and we’ll go flying any time you want. Although if you want to get pregnant we should probably do it sooner rather than later.” Lachlan winked at him. “Not that I believe you have to stop flying once you’re pregnant, but once you’re really pregnant, you might be grounded for a while.” Lachlan couldn’t stop petting him, Kieran’s skin calling to him.

“Do you have time now? Before I get unnerved?”

Now? Honestly? Whoa, and also wow. “Of course. Where’s Micah?”

“He’s sleeping. It’s nap time.”

That made it easy. “We’ll have to go tell Alban what we need. Does that work for you?”

Kieran nodded. “Alban will protect him. He’s a good guy.”

“He is. I trust him.”

And that meant a lot.
