I shake my head in amusement. “You’re not that old.”
Instead of answering, he takes my tongs from my hand and pushes me towards my mate. As I walk across the yard, I stop by Aurora, picking her up and kissing her chubby cheeks. She giggles in response before demanding to be put back down. She continues to waddle back and forth between Harry and Alex, enjoying this walking game they’ve developed between them.
I stand behind my mate, resting my hands on his shoulders. He leans against me before tilting his head back to look up at me. “Hi,” he says with a grin.
“Hi,” I say back, leaning down and kissing his forehead. “I have a little surprise for you.”
“Oh yeah? Is it a sexy surprise?”
Vik snorts while Avery makes gagging noises and Frost giggles. My ears turn bright red as I narrow my eyes at him. “No.”
Brock pouts. “You’re no fun.”
“You say that now,” I murmur before turning towards the back door. Right on cue, two families walk into our backyard. “Say hello to my surprise.”
Brock almost shoves me over in his haste to stand up. I would be offended if I wasn’t so happy to see the joy on his face. “Oh my gods! Raphael! Nolan! What are you doing here?”
“Aiden invited us,” Raphael explains.
“He wanted to surprise you,” Nolan says, pulling Brock into a tight hug. “Are you surprised?”
“Obviously, asshole,” Brock says with a chuckle. Raphael messes up his hair and just like that, they’re getting ready to rough house in the backyard while my pack watches.
We all have our first proper introductions once they’re done wrestling. I get to meet Raphael and Nolan, their mates, and their little ones.
Seeing my mate so happy makes all of this worth it and Aurora is delighted to meet her cousins.
At the end of the night, after Aurora is asleep and Brock and I are cleaning up the backyard, I’m struck all over again with how happy I am. I’m so fucking lucky to have found Brock. He’s the mate I never knew I needed. He takes care of me so that I can take care of everyone else.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
My grin somehow stretches even wider. “Just thinking about how much I love you.”
Brock rolls his eyes. He drops the garbage bag he was using to pick everything up and steps into my space. He wraps his arms around my neck and tugs me down into a kiss. My entire body warms all over, spreading from the center of my chest outwards.
Inside my head is a steady mantra ofI love him, I love him, I love him.
“Sappy alpha.”
“I am and you love it.”
“I do. I really, really do,” he says, his voice serious. He kisses me again and now I can feel him smile against my lips. “How do you feel about fucking while my brothers are staying here?”
“Absolutely not,” I say between kisses, both of us falling into a giggle fit.
My silly, fiery dragon mate. The perfect amount of heat to balance out my dull. We fit together like two puzzle pieces. Not only is he the omega for me, but also for my pack. If there’s a higher power, I send up a silent prayer of thanks for guiding our paths together.
“I’m sure we can be quiet.”
Instead of answering, I pull him up into my arms and start carrying him back inside. He muffles his giggles against my shoulder. Sounds like a challenge worth exploring.
