Page 12 of Our Haunted Omegas (Moonscale Heirs Duet #1)

“What? I should be mad about how much practice you got in? That’s all you were doing,” I laughed and stole a kiss.

“Look, I know what people say. I don’t know how much of it is true but I don’t expect everyone to live under a rock like I do.

If I had the mental energy to go around fucking around and not worrying about getting pregnant, I’d have done it. ”

I blushed at the words as they tumbled off my tongue.

“How do you do that?” I asked him.

“Get you to tell the truth? I don’t. I think you’re burning up inside for conversation.

You want to be seen but only when you feel safe.

Though, that brings up a good point. Do we need to put off camping until I can get in to get a vasectomy?

I mean, they’re not permanent. My last one only lasted about nine months, but nine months gives us time to plan. ”

I almost blurted out that he’d do no such thing but stopped myself.

“You’d do that just because I didn’t want to start a family yet?”

“Uh… Yeah. I mean, I did it so I could go on the whole Pheromone Cruise tour without worrying about salting the ocean so to speak. So, why wouldn’t I have a two-minute procedure to keep you from having to have other things to retain your autonomy?”

“Because most guys would rather chop off their own hand than have a scalpel near their nuts.”

“Those guys are cowards. Complete and utter cowards,” he said and smelled like he believed every word he said.

“Look, it’s not my idea of a good time but what terrifies me is starting a life inside someone who doesn’t want it there.

Even with measures to stop pregnancies that puts that person in a horrible spot.

It still happened to them. I mean accidents happen and all of that but that’s where the vasectomy would come in.

We forget a condom and they’re all duds. ”

I fell quiet for a long moment and almost dozed off. I always wanted kids. I still did. Wolf pups or dragon eggs. It wouldn’t matter. We didn’t have a space for a nesting area in the apartment, though. Did we need the time?

“Am I allowed to ask questions if they might include how much money you’re willing to invest into things?”

“I think we have to talk about money and what we can and can’t do. Not this morning if you’re too tired but eventually we do.”

“Say we go camping and I get pregnant. Indigo also gets Ambry pregnant.”

“The kids are provided for regardless of multiples,” Cobalt said.

“What if we need nesting space? The idea of relocating with a dozen dragon eggs in tow terrifies me. ”

“We have options that we wouldn’t even have to buy.

If you want privacy, we pick a good cabin, and the eggs can hatch there.

There’s the guesthouse and a few other options too.

If none of them appeal to you, you’d have to come to some agreement with Ambry on what’s important in a house and we could buy one.

Not that I think you’d two have trouble there.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re living in a draconic-sized breadbox with him, mate. ”

“Could it be done before the eggs come?”

“Yes,” he nodded. “Most of the work will be deciding where you want to live and it doesn’t have to be forever. You can change your mind and want to move later too.”

“I’m nosy,” Ambry said as the bedroom door opened and light from the corridor poured into the room. “I also like the idea of getting away from the city.”

“What about your job?” Indigo asked from behind him.

“Don’t stand out there and let all the light in. Come lay down, you two,” I sighed. “We’ll save time and maybe get some sleep if we all talk about it together. I’m actually starting to get tired.”

We spent an hour hashing out the details of the camping trip with their third brother popping on and off their link to help.

We’d borrow one of his double cab trucks for the trips and we’d go out to one of the less populated areas for our matingmoon.

Only, we’d stay there as long as we wanted.

Normally, I couldn’t leave anything open ended but it didn’t feel like the edges of our plans were flapping around in the wind.

Instead, the future was a map we were drawing together and besides belonging side-by-side we weren’t sure what came next.

No one romped that morning despite the tests.

We were too tired and wired all at the same time.

I dozed off wrapped up in Cobalt’s arms with Ambry pushed up against my back.

Even as my eyelids drifted closed I waited for the nightmares.

They didn’t come. Well, they didn’t barge into my head as they normally fancied doing.

Instead, they whispered around the edges of my dreams trying to pull a smoke screen over all the good stuff that might finally fall into my life.

They had a way of doing that even on normal nights.

My life hadn’t been horrible before Cobalt.

My childhood was traumatic but Ambry and I had built a life that worked for us.

We did our best and most of the time were satisfied with our small existence.

Now, we had to build a life that fit all of us plus any kids that might pop out later.
