“We can live in the house you put an offer on while I finish the big one,” he said. He had a list of important items to discuss with her and didn’t want to wait another minute.
The eye visible to him crinkled as she smiled. “What about this place? What will you use for a workshop?”
He kissed her temple and eased out of her. “This could still be my workshop. And my man cave when you get sick of me and kick me out.”
She laughed. “No way. You don’t get a man cave. Why don’t we just stay here?”
“Because you hate this place.”
She rolled over to face him and nestled right up into his arms. “I don’t hate it. I wouldn’t mind redecorating, though.”
He kissed her nose. “Anything you want, baby.”
She raked her fingernails through the hair on his chest. “I want to be your real estate agent.”
“Yeah. I want that, too.” It had been on his list of things to settle between them.
Her gaze flew to his. “You do?”
“Are you kidding? You think I’d let anyone else show my houses? Or help me buy them, for that matter? I didn’t even know there was such a thing as the right buyer for a house until I met you. I’m not settling for anything less again.”
She beamed at him.
He leaned his forehead against hers. “Are you really all in with me? No regrets?”
“Not yet.” She flashed an impish smile. “I am a little nervous, though,” she croaked a moment later.
“About what?” He wanted to slay every dragon she had.
“Everything. I’m afraid you’ll change your mind. Or end up being an asshole, or a drug addict or pimp or something.”
“We both already know I’m an asshole, so there’s no solving that. But a mated wolf doesn’t change his mind. Once you’re marked, you’re mine forever, baby, and I’ll never grow tired of you. That’s the way it works.”
She looped her arms around his neck and kissed him. “Promise?”
“Alpha’s promise.” He kissed her back. “Do you really want kids?”
“Yep. Definitely.”
“Right away?”
“Didn’t you promise I’d be pregnant in a month?”
He grinned and pushed her onto her back, kissing her hard. “I’m sure as hell going to try, baby. Morning, noon, and night.”
