She pulled her shirt on and looked at him. “Are you going to get dressed?”
He grinned. “Of course.”
He removed his cartoon pyjama bottoms and got dressed in a similar manner to her, but his shirt was tighter than hers.
She stepped into a low boot and got her phone. “Oh, no. We are going to be late.”
“Text him and tell him you are on the way but off the clock.” He smiled and took her hand.
She typed the text with her left hand as he led her out of the house. His body had decreased to a shape that would just barely fit his truck. She was boosted into the passenger side, and then he kissed her and closed the door.
He drove and collected takeout. She covered her bagel with cream cheese, took a bite, and then held the bagel up to Achilles. “Take a bite. You get hangry fast.”
He bit down, and she returned to her nibbling at the bagel. When he mumbled “More,” she gave him more.
They went through both bagels and a Danish before they got to Ford’s place.
He pulled up and put the truck into park. She blinked and remembered to look a little smaller with darker hair and darker eyes. When Achilles got to her door, she looked the way Ford expected her to look.
Her mate grinned and put his hands on her waist to set her on her feet. They walked hand in hand to the entrance, and the door flew open with Olivia pressing her fingers to her lips. “Babies are sleeping.”
Keres nodded. “Ford?”
A ragged-looking Ford opened the door fully and looked up at Achilles. He mouthed, “Holy shit.”
She looked at Ford. “Signing?”
He blinked rapidly and nodded. “Right.”
“Oh, Ford, this is my mate, Achilles Jett.”
Ford extended his hand, and Achilles shook it. Olivia was staring at him with sleepy eyes. “Oh, hello. I didn’t see you there.”
He nodded and shook her hand. Olivia shook his hand with a dazed expression. Keres smiled but wasn’t jealous. Achilles and Dante were sex on two legs.
Ford shook his head and beckoned for them to come in. What had been a modern entryway had baby mats and brightly coloured toys. The babies were with a nanny who looked thankful when Achilles carefully closed the large door.
They walked through the house and to Ford’s recording studio. Another alpha was waiting for them. Keres nodded. “Hey, Jax.”
“Miss Rainer. We are waiting for another involved party. You are looking well.”
“Thanks. I have actually gotten some rest lately.” She smiled. “Well, last night. Oh, Achilles Jett, this is Jax. Contract lawyer for the company. He makes sure that rights are cleared before the games or videos come out. He’s here to clear my songs.”
Achilles leaned forward, and Jax’s eyes widened. “You are not a shapeshifter.”
“Not the way you know it.” He smiled. “But I do change shape.” He moved his left hand across her back. “So does Keres.”
“Aren’t we just a chatty Cathy this morning? No more bagels for you.” She snorted.
Jax frowned. “So, you have been together for a while?”
“Four years.” Achilles smiled. “Us and our third, Dante Sorrel.”
Keres blushed, but it wasn’t as bad as when she was her Elite self.
Antonio and Dell walked in. Ford smiled. “Right, since we are all here, Keres, why did you quit?”
Keres held up a finger and played a recording. William’s strident voice barking orders and then the threats and then the seductive tone offered her a promotion with more pay if she slept with him. Her rejection caused the action of his voice saying, “You’re fired. I don’t want to see you here again.”
