Chapter 10

“Believe me, I know what you mean about that scent.” Dillion sighed as he kissed the top of Micah’s head.

Finn wondered what Dillion meant, but he didn’t have the courage to ask. He was too busy worrying and wondering if he was pregnant. Even though he and Reid had only just mated, that didn’t matter. All it took was one time. Finn placed one hand low on his belly. One time at the right time and then poof! Everything he knew or at least thought he knew was over. As terrified as he was, he couldn’t help a curious kind of anticipation. Bringing life into the world was a powerful gift, even more so than his ability to shift. Changing into a coyote was cool, but giving birth? That was something that he’d never in a billion years thought he’d be able to do.

“You resisted?” Cassidy asked Dillion.

“I had to.” Dillion flashed a grin that was wickedly sexy. Finn knew exactly how Micah had fallen under the man’s spell. Dillion was uber-alpha, but he was also gentle. The combination of which must have made his friend positively crazy.

“Explain.” The word slipped out of Finn’s mouth before he could edit himself. He felt unbelievably rude for prying into their private life, but he also wanted to know how the mated pairs had resisted. As much as he lusted after Reid, and thought they were a very good match, he wasn’t anywhere near ready to have kids. Not now, at least. Maybe not ever. It was simply too difficult to wrap his head around the idea that he actually could. Being an out and proud gay man made certain things—children of his own—a total impossibility. Since it wasn’t likely to happen, at least not unless he and his partner hired a woman and then dealt with all of that—well, hell. It just wasn’t something he’d ever really considered. “I’m sorry. Ignore me. I just—I’m still trying to wrap my head around all of this.”

“Tossing children into the mix is more than you can take?” Micah met Finn’s gaze. “Believe me, I know. I’ve been there. I think all of us have. It’s incredible and mind-blowing but scary as hell, too.”

“Yes.” Finn was glad that someone understood. Not that he didn’t think Reid did. He was an extremely sensitive man who clearly cared about everyone on the ranch. Offering himself out as a punching bag just to make Storm feel better? That had told Finn a lot about Reid. He was willing to do almost anything to help resolve a tense situation. For a moment, Finn had thought that Storm was going to haul off and hit him. He’d tensed so hard he was practically vibrating. If Storm touched Reid, Finn was going to intervene. Pregnant or not, Finn wasn’t about to stand aside and let anyone touch his mate in anger or in lust. That made Finn understand that not only was Reid far more astute than he’d thought, but Finn was falling in love with him far faster than he would have believed possible.
