As soon as the question’s out of my mouth, I start filling up with nervous energy.
The smile he gives me is bright enough to push a relieved sigh past my lips.
“Before you came along, I would have said no,” he confesses. “I didn’t think about it. Not once.”
“I didn’t either,” I admit. “When I was stuck in Fallen Pines it was a pipedream to think I might end up with a mate. I never dreamed about anything more than having someone in my life who loved me.”
“Well, now you have three men who love you more than life,” he tells me. “And I know we all think about how our family’s going to evolve. We want everything with you, Amanda. A big house full of kids is part of that.”
Goddess, the passion in his voice is powerful.
I feel the truth in his words.
“You’ve spoken about it with Sean and Dante?”
He smiles. “Maybe, a little. I don’t need to ask them how they feel, and if you think about it, you won’t need to, either. We love you, Amanda. You’re our mate. In case you don’t understand what that means, I can tell you without a shred of doubt, that if you’d gotten pregnant when we first claimed you, it would have been exactly what we all wanted.”
My skin flushes through with warmth.
He means every word.
“So, if I told you I haven’t taken a protection potion today, and I’d really like to feel your knot inside me …” I murmur, trailing off when he brings the car to a stop at the side of the road by the forest.
He unbuckles his seat belt and turns to me. “I only have so much willpower, but I need you to tell me what you want, without any hint of doubt, or my dick stays in my pants, and I’ll eat you out in the backseat until you’re ready to pass out.”
He watches me carefully, his gaze steady.
“I want to have kids,” I admit, relieved at how easily the words come out.
It’s like breaking a lock on a door. The second I hear myself say it, all of these thoughts come tumbling out after, backing up the words with intense feelings of desire.
Of course, I want to have kids with my mates. Why the hell wouldn’t I?
“But?” he prompts, raising his eyebrows.
“But?” I echo his question back at him.
“Sorry,” he murmurs. “It sounded like you might have something to add, like that you want to stop at a half dozen, or you’d prefer it if they were all girls.”
I can’t help but laugh. “A half dozen? I don’t know if I’m built for that kind of volume, Parker. That sounds like a lot.”
“Well, multiple births are pretty common with shifters,” he teases.
“They’re even more likely when it comes to blessed matings,” I tell him, making his eyes flash.
He can tell I’m serious, and his wolf is starting to rise. “They are?”
I nod slowly, feeling my wolf rise. “When your knot swells and locks, you’ll produce more cum than usual. There’ll be way more chances to make me pregnant that there would usually be.”
I know I want this now. It doesn’t matter if I end up with one baby, or three. I want a family with my mates. I’m ready for our lives to be more than they are.
“Apollo, you’re serious.” He says it like he can barely believe it.
“Usually, only Alphas can knot their mate,” I murmur. “Packs who share a mate are the only time Betas and Omegas get to experience knotting.”
“I know. It’s part of the blessing,” he tells me, as his gaze moves to my lips.
“Parker?” I ask.
