Chapter Twenty-Four

Pregnancy looked good on my mate. As sexy as I thought him before, he was triply sexy now. There was something about his rounded belly, knowing he was nurturing our child, giving it a safe place to grow until he was ready to enter this world.

"What?" He looked at me as if I had the answer to his question, but I had a feeling I was missing something.

"Say again?"

He belted out in laughter. "I guess it's nothing too serious, then." His hand was resting on his belly. "Your daddy's silly."

"Clueless alpha here."

"You were looking at me, is all, and it felt like you were trying to tell me something."

"Oh. Was I staring?"

He nodded.

"I was just thinking you are hotter today than you were yesterday, and I didn't think it was possible to be that sexy. That's all." I leaned down so my mouth was close to his belly. "Daddy's not silly. He just has good taste."

"Speaking of taste, Abel and a few of the older kids made dinner." My mate pushed himself up to stand.

"I have been assured that plenty of supervision was given."

"Well, if we're going to have a special dinner, I probably should shower." He grabbed my hand. "I'm going to need some help."

"I'm an excellent back rubber," I assured him.

"I was more thinking you could help something I haven't been able to see in weeks, and I don't mean my toes." He mouthed the word dick, just in case I missed his not-so subtle hint.

I had not.

Once we were in the bathroom, I set the shower and helped him get undressed. He climbed inside, and I yanked my clothes off, more than ready to join him.

"Tyrus, I have bad news." My poor mate suddenly looked so dejected. "I don't think we'll both fit. I'm even bigger than I was yesterday."

"You mean sexier. And there's plenty of room. I'm coming in." And I was going to make my mate feel as sexy as he was.

"You can try, but I basically take up the entire shower."

I grinned and scooted in behind Sloan, making sure the warm water stayed mostly on him. "No matter how big that belly gets, I'll always squeeze in with you." I wrapped my arms around him with one curled over his bump and the other underneath, holding up the weight that was putting more pressure on his back every day. "How's that?"

He leaned against my chest and rested his head on my shoulder. "So much better. Can you just walk behind me all the time and hold up this little one who isn't so little anymore?"

I kissed his temple. "I wish I could, omega. You know I'd carry the weight for you if I could." The hand on top of his belly slid down to his cock. "But since I can't, this is the best way I can help relieve your burden."

"Mmm, okay." He sounded sleepy, but from the way his arm snaked back and reached for my thickening cock, I knew he was wide awake and ready for me. "This works too."

I lazily stroked him as he did the same to me. We were always ready to make love, but it was getting harder to find positions Sloan could hold for more than a few minutes. And although we didn't always need more time than that, I always wanted to make sure he was satisfied. My omega's pleasure was always my priority. "Are you okay to stand, or would you like to get out of here?"

"Stand." He leaned forward and braced his hands on the tiled wall. "I need your knot, alpha."

Fuck yeah, he did.

Once he was in position, I held his belly up again and then rubbed my cock over his leaking hole, slicking it up so he could take me quickly. His body was always ready for me, but I didn't want to waste time going slow.

I needed my omega as much as he needed me.

"Brace yourself, Sloan. This is gonna be quick."

"Hurry up, Tyrus. I'm not getting any smaller." He turned back and winked at me just as I pushed inside him. That smile morphed into an open-mouthed moan as his eyes drifted shut. "Yes, alpha. Knot me hard."

My whole body buzzed with need as I pulled out and quickly thrust back in, working him from both the front and the back. As I pushed into his slick entrance, Sloan fucked into my fist. When I pulled back, so did he, chasing my cock as we both got off.

Seconds passed in slow motion, and it wasn't long until we were both panting for relief and desperate to come.

"Yes, yes, yes." Sloan got a burst of energy and moved quicker than he had in months as he came hard, splashing over my fingers and coating the wall while his channel tightened around me.

"Fuck, yeah." I pressed all the way in and held in place, my knot expanding, locking inside my omega as my seed filled him. If he weren't already carrying my baby, he would be now because I unloaded in several convulsing thrusts. "I love you, Sloan."

His forehead pressed against the back of the shower, and he sighed heavily. "I love you too, Tyrus. You're my everything."
