It’s no surprise I got knocked up. I wasn’t on the herbs, being a virgin, and Salem decided to stop taking them the second he found me.
The brothers all share a look and a smug grin.
Salem adds, “We’re having triplets.”
“How far along are you?” Kathryn asks, coming over and giving me a warm hug.
Sage and Silver stand to congratulate Salem.
“Four weeks.”
“How do you know it’s triplets?” she asks, smiling at me. She puts her hands on her stomach. “Looks like we’ll be having babies close together. I’m about five weeks.”
“Well…” I smirk, thinking back to what happened. “Queen Astrid dropped into the bakery, and when she was leaving, she casually told me to enjoy life while I can because in two weeks, I was going to be pregnant. And then when I saw Laurel, she admitted that I was going to have triplets.”
“Girls or boys?” Sage asks, amusement dancing in his eyes.
Salem rubs the back of his neck. “Girls.”
Silver looks like he’s trying to stop himself from laughing, but he fails. “Three daughters. You’re in deep shit, Salem.”
“I know,” he admits, smiling down at me. “They’re going to be as beautiful as you, and I’m going to have to lock them up.”
I roll my eyes. He already wants me chained to his bed so nothing can happen to me while I’m carrying them.
“Just remember, I can make you do what I want,” I tease, and he shakes his head.
Maybe he won’t be the odd one out after all. The brothers can still raise all their kids together and share a bond like the one they have.
We stay for a little while longer before zipping to Chaos. Salem is organizing the fight lineup, while I take a seat and chat with Pandora. The Witch Queen came into my bakery one day to clear the air, saying she had dropped by our house because she wanted to meet the woman who had tamed Salem.
“Where’s Soren?” I ask her, staring down at her pregnant bump. She’s due in three months, and the fae warrior usually refuses to leave her side.
“He’s over there with Rave.” She nods toward the entrance. “Apparently, Sinda and Rave’s three brothers want to fight tonight. Everyone is going to be here, especially now that we know nothing can go wrong with you here.”
I wanted to hide my magic, but the gossip about me spread like wildfire. Instead of becoming a target, though, everyone seems to be terrified of both Salem and me together.
Wait until they find out I got some of his invisibility magic.
From the corner of my eye, I notice a pretty blonde approaching him. Apparently, not everyone is scared of him.
Sometimes a woman’s vagina wins out over their brain.
Or maybe they like the thrill of him.
I admit he looks sexy as sin. His tunic clings to his ripped torso, and those strong, muscular thighs I love so much are braced apart as he looks down at a piece of paper in his big hands.
I don’t let her even touch him. When she’s a few steps away from him, I use my magic. “Walk away, and don’t approach him.” My voice sounds deceptively casual, and even though I want to claw her eyes out, I don’t have to.
She does as she’s told, like a good-fucking-girl.
Salem turns to me and raises his eyebrow. “That was fucking hot. You know how hard I get when you get jealous.”
Yeah, maybe the evil bastard is rubbing off on me.
But I’ll be the one rubbing off on him later.
His sadistic laugh lets me know I didn’t shield my thoughts through the bond.
His mouth curves into a grin.
And I fall in love all over again.
