He wraps one arm around my shoulders. “I’ll do it.”
I settle one hand around his waist. His body feels warm against mine. Comforting. I squeeze his hip lightly.
Emmett shoots me a grin. “But it’ll cost you.”
I roll my eyes, but I don’t remove my hand. “I’m sure it will.”
When we come to the kitchen, everyone’s dishing up their plates, and the air has a heady scent of cinnamon and peppercorn as Auryn orders the kids to stop playing around and eat their dinner, or they won’t get any ice cream.
Emmett lets me go and heads for the table, and I can’t help but smile.
Because whatever the price is, I know it’s worth it.
They’re worth it. My pack. My family.
I find my spot next to Auryn and fix her plate for her. She smiles when she sees it’s full, shooting me a sly grin.
“Beta loves this,” I whisper to her as she settles next to me. She glances back at me with warmth. I feel her hand on my thigh beneath the table, and she leans in close to my ear, kissing the spot below my earlobe.
“Specimen does, too.”
A soft biscuit hits me in the face, and I look straight at Emmett. He holds his hands up.
“It was him!” He points to Kendal. I groan, leaning my head on Auryn’s shoulder, and she laughs.
“No, it was Daddy!” Kendal says with a whine.
“That’s going to cost you,” Gage says with humor as he stares at Emmett.
“Letlos niñoshave their fun.”
I shake my head, pick up the biscuit, and throw it back at Emmett, who looks stunned. But instead of freaking out, he only picks up the biscuit and tears into it with his teeth.
When we’re finished eating and have sufficiently gotten the boys into bed, we’re all too exhausted to do much more than cuddle in our nest. I slide one arm around Auryn, pulling her close to my chest. Diego’s hand brushes mine, since he’s snuggling her on the opposite side. Gage is already passed out beside him, and I can feel Emmett’s dick poking me.
“Really, Em?” I groan, the exhaustion in my voice prevalent.
“I did say you’d owe me for that favor,” he says lazily. “Besides, it’s been like three months.”
I sigh in exasperation. Emmett rolls into me, pulling me back against him.
“Please, Olly,” he murmurs, squeezing me tight. Between him and Auryn, I feel warm. Safe. Content.
Auryn plays with the edges of my hair.
“You have ten minutes before I fall asleep,” I murmur.
I feel Emmett slide his hand between my asscheek and his dick. I stay perfectly still as I breathe in Auryn’s sweet hybrid scent.
“Todo el amor. Toda la lujuria.”
Auryn’s lips find mine, and she kisses me softly. “Such a good beta for your alphas.”
I lose myself in her kiss, her praise. Warmth spreads over my skin as Emmett squeezes my body tight, his wordless thank you.
I close my eyes, nodding off against my mate’s chest as Em cleans me up.
The soft snores of Linnea and the boys echo through the monitors.
And when the sun rises, casting its golden glow on the bodies that surround me, I can’t help but smile at the dawn of a new day.
