Keres smiled.
There was a chime, and Dan left to answer it. Keres could feel Dante’s arrival. Dan walked casually with the dark-skinned man with a dark cap of coiled hair and deep brown eyes. Dante saw her and smiled, winked, and lifted his briefcase. “I understand you need a contract, sir?”
Mateo looked between them. “You’re...”
“Backup for Achilles. Also, your lawyer. I have an agreement she has used before, and we can just adjust it for this.”
He produced a document and handed it over to Mateo. “Let me know what you would like added. I am going to greet my mate.”
Mateo looked surprised, and Owen’s mouth opened in surprise.
Keres watched him approach and was unsurprised when he lifted her by her waist and spun her around. She smiled and stroked his hair. “Hi, Dante.”
“My homeless mate. Planning another baby?” He rubbed his nose against hers.
“My sister has four and is very nervous about them.” She looped her arms around his neck and shrugged, “So, I will take two, and then maybe after, I will feel strong enough to give all those girls a cousin.”
Persephone was staring and squinting. “Is he an Elite?”
Dante turned and looked at her. “Ah, little sister. I am an Other. I was Elite and then kept going.”
Persephone blinked. “Wait, did you say homeless?”
“Your sister has not felt comfortable with a roof over her head without being out of her mind with lust. Achilles and I have created a home that should meet her needs, but she won’t come to us until she’s desperate.”
Keres snorted. “Exaggeration. We meet once a month for coffee or lunch.”
He kept her easily in his arms. “Insufficient. It has been fun playing and settling in the world outside the Stronghold, but not having you between us is painful.”
“You two do just fine on your own.”
“But we do better with you. So, when you take these two on, how long until you are with us?”
“Two weeks.”
He rubbed his nose against hers. “I will arrange short days and remind Achilles to wash his hands. Are you going to give in to his demands this time?”
“I already told him I would.”
“Oh, I wanna watch.”
“You always do. It’s very boring.”
“Nothing about you is boring, precious star.”
Keres smiled, and a blush filled her cheeks. She knew it turned her a soft gold, and he grinned. Neither of her mates had such easy tells.
Mateo looked at the contract. “It looks good. Than, if you sign it as primary and Persephone and Keres sign it, we should be good.”
Dante grinned. “Achilles should sign it.”
“Shut up.”
Mateo looked at her. “He’s your primary?”
“Yeah.” She shivered, and everyone saw it.
Than and Persephone signed the contract.
