He grumbled and backed off after one last stroke of her nipple.
She shivered, and he helped her to her feet. Mano wrapped his arm around her waist. “So, my wet darling, can I request an appetizer?”
She snorted. “No appetizers. Sometimes you just need a sandwich.”
There was a heartbeat of quiet, and the three started to laugh. She went hot. “Oh, balls.” More laughing. “Oh, god.” She covered her face with her hands.
They walked down the path to the residence, and she didn’t uncover her face until she had been steered to a chair. Ven, Syar, and Reynaldo were there. No kids. Ven put a finger to her lips. “Naps.”
Eliana smiled. “Precious time.”
Amelia, Henry, and Keoki came in and sat down. They looked calm, and Keoki was looking surprised, but Henry had a grown-up expression on his face, and Amelia was politely amused.
Syar stared at Henry as the food platters were dropped off. “Why do you look irritated?”
Henry looked at Amelia. “She won’t sleep with me just for fun.”
Amelia snorted. “I told you I would stay here. Fucking you was not in that sentence. Keoki isn’t my alpha, so getting too involved with you isn’t a smart idea. But... free hugs.”
Henry huffed and grumbled, but he leaned over and hugged her, and peace crossed his features.
Keoki frowned. “And she won’t tell me what her alpha is like, so we can’t even find one to match her with.”
Eliana smiled. “And after matching her, you would negotiate with him to keep her nearby or join your pack.”
Henry looked sly. “Maybe.”
Amelia snorted as she started to serve herself. “Good luck with that.”
Eliana smiled. “Excuse me for a minute.” She got up, crept to the nursery, and got her phone off the charger. She made a call and smiled at the answer to her query. She carried her phone to the table and handed the phone to Keoki. “Here you go. Ask what you want to know. There will be details, so remember them.”
The alpha got up and spoke into the phone, introducing himself.
Henry got up to follow. “I will go along. He’s not great with remembering things.”
They were speaking into the phone that was now on speaker as they left the dining room.
Amelia looked at her. “Who is on the phone?”
“Wren.”
“Really? Why would you do that?”
“Because she knows and is willing to help them arrange it. If she is willing, it means that he wouldn’t show up in your path on his own.” Eliana shrugged. “Or she. I know you aren’t fussy.”
Amelia shrugged and started eating. “True.”
Syar cocked his head. “You’re...”
“Demisexual. I used to think it was asexual, but I once found someone sexually attractive, so then the label shifted a little.” Amelia smiled. “Are you going to be able to eat all of that?”
Eliana looked down and stared. There were three neatly assembled sandwiches on her plate. She looked up in outrage. “Which one of you perverts made the triple-decker?”
Mano laughed, and it was enough of a confession.
She started on the triple-decker and drank a lot of water. Her mother had always insisted that she finish everything on her plate. She made it through and then thudded her head to the plate. “I amnothaving dinner.”
Amelia smiled. “Just find some sushi.”
