“Blaine gives Vaughn the side-eye. I tamp down my smile at his less than subtle warning that Vaughn might have said a little too much. Vaughn’s expression is sheepish as he shuffles from foot to foot. “Uh, did I say hours? I meant seconds. It took us exactly ten seconds to put together a crib with instructions that don’t make sense, and we have two extra screws that we desperately hope won’t mean the baby will fall through it and… well⁠—” “We tried,” Garrison takes over. “What Vaughn is trying to say is that we tried.” The lump in my throat gets bigger. It’s accompanied by a prickle behind my eyes so intense I blink rapidly, yet the urge to cry doesn’t fade even a little. I left, and they made a nursery for my baby, never knowing if I would even come back. I clear my throat to dislodge that gigantic lump. “The, uh, the extra screws are spares.” Vaughn tilts his head. “Huh?” “It’s so manufacturers don’t have to keep mailing out extras when people accidentally lose one.” They all stare at me. “My dad would always build stuff when I was a kid. Postage is expensive. Cheaper to add a couple spares than pay for postage.” They visibly deflate. “Thank fuck,” Vaughn breathes. “I was trying to get Garrison to climb in to make sure that it would hold the baby, but he wouldn’t do it.”

“I stalked across the war room’s wreckage and stopped in front of the ornate mirror. “Explain yourself,” I growled, slamming my palm on the carved frame. Blue runes flared beneath my fingers, and the surface of the glass rippled as though it were a pool of water. “My lord is displeased,” the mirror observed in a voice as flat as stale liquor. “How may this humble repository assist?” “The Heirloom failed to activate.” I gritted my teeth and felt a fresh wave of heat ripple up my spine. “I need to know why.” “Have you tried asking it nicely?”

“Come for me, Wren. I want to feel you gush around me.” When she clenched hard, I saw stars or my fucking ancestors or something, but she did as she was told, coming hard on my cock. I breathed a relieved sigh, then pounded up inside her. Yes. I needed to mark her as mine inside and out, to fill her up with me so every man and beast in a hundred-mile radius would know she belonged with me. To me. Groaning, my balls pulled up tight, and I came so hard, I saw at least ten of my past lives flash before my eyes. Her nails scraped stripes along my chest, and she screamed again. “Nate!” I fucking loved it. I wanted to hear her scream my name like that every day until we were both dust in the wind.”
