Page 113 of Happily Ever After… Again and Again

Nix wants to be mad, but three things are stopping him:

Nix enjoyed every second. Would probablystillbe enjoying it with another mate somewhere in the house if he hadn’t figured it out.

Luca and hehadpulled a similar stunt rightafter the babies were born that involved vegetables of various lengths, a ruler, and a PowerPoint presentation. Whoo, that was fun. Even the spanking they’d had afterward.

Maybe he and Luc could turn it around and make thempay.Nothing like a double cross to really seal the Luc/Nix superiority in the prank department (yes, it’s theirshipname).

He slips the phone back onto the nightstand and creeps down to the main level through the library in an attempt to avoid being discovered.

But he is both unlucky and lucky because he discovers his chaotic family in the kitchen: kids in booster chairs at the island, Grandpa-Artem singingWheels on the Buswith the actions, and…

Leo grinning at his phone. Like he’d been given the best gift ever.

So, everyoneisin on it.

Happy anticipatory grins are in place; even Gideon has a gleam in his eye and a smirk on his face. Probably more for the chaos than the orgasm, knowing him.

“Hey, Kitten. Where are youheaded? You need me foranything?” He waggles his eyebrows.

“Daddy!” Little voices call to him, and he presses kisses to the tops of tiny heads, nibbling little bits of fruit from tiny fingers, and he’s offered a single chicken nugget with quiet reverence.

“Thank you.” He accepts it with a bow and eats it right up, all in one bite, rubbing his tummy and wiggling for effect. “So delicious. Thank you.”

He’s rewarded with a quiet giggle, and it improves Nix’s mood even more, an idea solidifying so fast he freezes in place. He has to lock the bond output down to a trickle so he can modulate his glee without tipping off the perpetrators.

Now, to find Luca before any more of them receive their undeserved rewards. Hopefully, it’s not too late.

He spins on his heel and follows his lavender-colored bond toward the music studio.

“Hey, Nix. Where are yougoing? I’m going for a shower…if you want to…uh…” Leo’s voice fades away when Nix leaves him in the dust.

It’s a tiny bit rude, sure.

But if Leo offered post-workout shower sex to Nix’s face, he’s not sure he could resist the offer. Leo ismassivethese days, bulked up beyond anything he’d ever been before. And post-workout, those beautiful muscles were…engorged–nope.

No more of that, Nixie. Nope. Save it for next time.

Sigh.

He finds Luca asleep, naked on Jamie’s lap on the studio couch while Jamie surfs his phone. Most people would think he’s on there answering emails or composing lyrics, but no—Jamie has a tiny addiction to watching his thirst edits.

Yup, Roadie tributes to his eight-pack and peach of an ass. Nix tries not to think about LRH’s fans as individuals that he wants to hunt down andexplainexactly how Jamie belongs to him and his packmates. They’re all just nice,respectfulpeople whojustenjoy LRH’s music.

Just. Their. Music. Grrr.

The alpha’s eyebrows go up when he sees him in the white shirt and panties, but hevery casuallyturns his phone off.
