“Not a clue. Every pregnancy is different. That’s the point. There aren’t any guarantees.”

“Well, why don’t we set you up for remote work?” He cocked his head.

“Yes, why don’t we? Lord knows you have enough guys there to build an army of computers or laptops.”

He nodded. “Fine. Work from home as long as you can.”

“And stop the office from throwing a baby shower again. I am not keeping these little darlings. That last one was just embarrassing.” She sighed. “Nine weeks and maybe three days to recover.”

He extended his hand. “Deal. I will have Jax draw it up. Now, when can you do green screen work for cut scenes? This new appearance of yours is very photogenic. Do you think your mates would participate as well?”

She felt warmth at her back. “Dude, do not mention the idea ofdoing things on camera. These guys have amazing self-control until they don’t.”

Antonio grinned. “I empathize with that.”

Achilles chuckled. “I think it sounds like fun.”

Dante laughed. “Definitely. No one will make the correlation between this and our human forms.”

She snorted. “As long as I am dressed and not in a snake queen outfit or chain maille bikini.”

Dante hugged her. “Oh, please. Please. I will pay you if you can get that for her.”

Antonio laughed. “I will give you the name of an armourer.”

Keres growled. “Don’t help them. They do fine on their own.”

Achilles slid his arm around her waist. “We can always use an assist. Dante, go with Antonio and add our wish list to the contract.”

Dante grinned. “Oh, I will. Come on, Antonio. They want to make out.”

Keres looked to her mate as they were finally left alone. “Is that what we want to do?”

“I have dreamed of taking you under the moonlight, but I can settle for the dappled sunlight under those trees if you just want to relax.”

She nodded, and together, they walked to the trees at the edge of the property. They lay in the grass, he took her in his arms, and they slept.

Chapter Thirteen

“Keres, Achilles. Wake up. You don’t even smell like sex. I am so disappointed.” Dante’s voice came to them, and he thudded into the grass. She lazily extended her arm, and he cuddled against her.

She said softly, “We are just enjoying each other for a moment. I forget your scents, you know. So long goes between me seeing you that I forget what you smell like. Moments like this are going to help me adapt to the idea of staying with you two. I mean. That is if you still want me.”

Dante curled toward her. “Thank you for the offer, but there is no getting out of this for you. We are yours, and you aren’t going to shake us.” He reached up and tugged the braid that was at the back of her neck.

He nuzzled her skin and inhaled. “I could never forget your scent. Remembering it has kept me warm when you were apart from us.”

She smiled and glanced at Achilles. He was watching her with a smile. “You are getting some rest.”

She leaned up and got the ladybug on his hair onto her finger. She blew gently on it. “I think I can finally relax. I mean, after the contract meets my specifications.”

“Oh, it will. Antonio agreed to everything. It would have been faster to hit him in the nose with rolled paper.” Dante chuckled against her skin.

She laughed and closed her eyes at the feel of both against her. “I hope Ekhart gave full disclosure about the arrangements.”

Dante murmured against her skin, content as always to just cuddle, “That they are going to need a third? I believe he mentioned something about it.”

Achilles soon rumbled to life. “Thanatos has invited us to the introduction of their mate tomorrow night. It will be at Mateo’s, and we need to represent the omega’s side of things.”
