Chapter 12

Denying Lily was just as hard on me. I knew my mate wanted me. Nothing would make me happier than taking care of her needs right here, right now. But the safety of our baby trumped both our desires. There would be plenty of time for us later. With only seven weeks left until her due date, we could make it.

In truth, I’d never gone seven whole weeks without Lily. My balls hurt just thinking about it. But there was also nothing I wouldn’t do for any of my kids.

Lily wasn’t happy with my decision and, of course, since they all knew when I’d turned on the dampener our family expected we were fooling around finishing what I had never intended to start. I was genuinely just helping her clean up, though I quickly realized it didn’t appear that way. I hadn’t meant to tease her like that.

“Wow, that was a quickie,” Patrick joked when I walked back downstairs.

“Nah, Lil looked pissed. Did you cut her off? No sex in her childhood bed or something?” Chase asked.

“Well, I know for a fact that’s not the case.” Liam shuddered with old memories of walking in on me and his sister in said bedroom.

I just smiled.

“She’s already starting to dilate, and it’s way too early for that. I’m not taking any chances.”

“No wonder she’s pissed,” Chase said with a laugh. “You cockblocked her.”

“I think that means the new kid cockblocked them,” Ben argued.

“Regardless, you’re an idiot. I was told that sex was not a trigger for labor,” Kyle informed us.

“Bullshit. Someone was kissing your Alpha-ass,” Liam challenged. “A quick search on the internet will tell you it’s in the top five best natural methods to stimulate labor.”

“It didn’t work with Lilah, but not for a lack of trying,” I confessed.

“Why are we fecking talking about this? Guys who talk about sex aren’t getting it. I, for one, have nothing to contribute to this conversation,” Patrick insisted.

“Liar. Lily and Elise talk about everything. I know you’re full of Irish crap.”

He scowled at me.

“I may have freaked out a bit at first, but I’m over that. After Micah assured me it was safe for the baby, life has gone back to normal. Hell, better than normal, if you know what I mean.”

I groaned. I did know what he meant. Lily was always super horny and ready to go when she was pregnant, and I knew that once the baby arrived, she’d be sore for a few weeks and then exhausted tending to a newborn.

The realization that it could be a lot longer than seven weeks made me want to puke.

“Gentleman, he’s turning green,” Patrick announced.

“Can we just stop talking about sex? You guys sound like a bunch of freaking women,” I complained.

Fortunately, they put me out of my misery and moved on to other topics.

Nightfall came and a new day began much the same as the previous. Mary and Jason doted on the kids. I hung out with the guys, and Lily was off doing who knew what with the women.
