Chapter Four
The kids all settled down, and Quinn closed his eyes.
In the background, the alphas chatted while the babies snuggled or nursed.
Every breath he took was filled with the intoxicating scents of leather and whiskey.
He loved the combination, and the earthy hint of leather made him want to drag Seth back to their new place and ravish the alpha.
A soft chuckle caught his attention, and he glanced over to see Seth watching him with a knowing smirk. No one else seemed to notice, thank God. Ana had fallen asleep, and Quinn pulled his shirt back down without waking her.
“How about we put her down for a nap and fix lunch?” Seth suggested. The look he gave Quinn, though, had absolutely nothing to do with food.
“We can do that.”
Grinning, Seth stood and picked up Ana. She snuggled into his arms and tucked her thumb into her mouth. Quinn got up as well and stretched.
“We’ll catch you all later,” Seth said. “If you need us, well… don’t expect an answer right away.”
Quinn felt heat flush through his face as he followed Seth, the others’ chuckles making it clear they knew. Once back in their own little apartment, Seth placed Ana in her new crib and turned on the baby monitor. Then he crowded Quinn and started backing him toward their bedroom.
“Know what I want?”
Quinn began undressing his alpha. He tossed Seth’s shirt off to the side and started on his lover’s pants. “I could think of quite a lot.”
Seth smiled and turned, falling back onto the bed as soon as he was naked. “You,” he said, spreading his legs. “It’s been a while.”
Quinn groaned and stripped in record time. Seth didn’t bottom very often, so Quinn took full advantage when he did. “Fuck yes.” He grabbed the lube and crawled onto the bed. “First, though? I want to taste.”
He pushed Seth’s legs up and slid down to lick his alpha’s hole.
Seth groaned and lifted his hips a bit for more.
Quinn would never tire of this, even if Seth didn’t bottom much.
He loved the way Seth murmured his name over and over, the way the alpha panted as Quinn tongue-fucked him.
Without stopping, Quinn got two fingers slick and rubbed the hole before sliding into his lover’s body.
“Quinn…”
God, the man was tight as fuck. Quinn rose up and licked a line along Seth’s cock before sucking the head into his mouth.
Seth let out a low growl that made Quinn shiver.
If he teased too much, he’d wind up the one with a dick in his ass.
He pulled off Seth’s cock and withdrew his fingers.
Seth’s eyes were dark and narrowed as Quinn lubed up.
Then he lined up and pushed into Seth’s ass with a groan.
“Shift,” he murmured.
Seth shifted into his half-form. Pitch black fur covered his body, and he smiled, lips curled back to reveal sharp teeth. Quinn withdrew a bit and thrust back inside, earning himself another deep growl. Seth let go of his legs and locked them around Quinn’s waist.
“Fuck me,” he snarled.
Quinn did exactly that. The rhythm they set up took his breath away, and their moans and grunts filled the room. He reached down to stroke Seth’s huge cock as he slammed into the alpha.
“Close,” he gasped. “Fuck.”
Nodding, Seth hissed and tugged Quinn down to his neck.
The tattoo of Quinn’s bite mark was right there, and Quinn couldn’t resist biting it.
The second he did, Seth let out a soul-shattering roar, and semen spurted over Quinn’s fist. A moment later, he panted and groaned as he pumped his alpha full of his own release.
Quinn rested his head on Seth’s shoulder and sighed.
Seth shifted back to human form, and Quinn pulled out.
Then the room flipped, and teeth sank into his own shoulder over Seth’s claiming mark.
Quinn shouted and clutched his alpha’s biceps as pleasure swept through him.
Seth shifted position slightly and thrust into him.
Quinn met the man’s every thrust, hips snapping up as Seth took him hard and fast.
“That’s it, baby,” Seth panted. “Come on my cock.”
Eyes rolling back, Quinn moaned his lover’s name as he shot. Seth buried that gorgeous cock deep inside him and filled his body. When the knot formed, Quinn whimpered as almost excruciating pleasure sent him over the edge on a far deeper level.
Seth nuzzled his neck, dropping kisses along it and Quinn’s shoulder. “Love you,” he whispered.
“Love you, too,” Quinn replied. He draped his arms around Seth’s neck and inhaled the alpha’s enhanced scents. “So fucking much.”

Quinn flopped onto the beanbag chair in the playroom while Ana crawled around on the floor with her cousins.
Granted, they weren’t blood-related, but family was family, blood or no.
He smiled as Justin toddled over to hand her a stuffed wolf.
Ana bounced it on the floor in front of her and giggled when Barkley decided she wanted to play tug-of-war.
Myles and Sophie, Jax and Paris’ twins, joined them, both babbling nonstop.
“Soon, she’s going to be chattering,” Chaz said, sitting beside Quinn on another beanbag chair.
“It still blows me away how fast they’re growing.”
She nodded. “Manuel is already trying to chew—much to Daniel’s chagrin.”
Quinn grimaced and pressed a hand to his chest. “Uh… ouch.”
Chaz chuckled. “Agreed. Ana will be saying her first words before you know it. Being around the others will encourage her to try.”
“When do you think we’ll know any of their statuses?”
“It’ll show itself once they hit puberty, but there is a blood test that can be done when they reach ten years old. That’s about when the uterus begins forming in an omega.”
“I never had the test,” Quinn said. “I just went into heat when I was thirteen. Freaked out and thought I was dying.”
“Not an unusual reaction, to be honest.”
“I’m kind of hoping Ana’s an alpha. Though… I have no idea how that works. I mean, you’re different given your family’s evolution, but…”
“Alpha females not of my family line can get pregnant as any other female capable of bearing children,” Chaz replied. “The only males who can’t impregnate them are omegas, but, otherwise, it’s all the same as a human pregnancy. Well, besides the gestation time.”
“Do you have a lot of human births at the clinic?”
Chaz nodded. “We do. Hell, there are more humans than wolves. I generally assist with the women of both species, but Alex handles the omega males. He’s a natural and is going to be an amazing nurse.”
“Good. He’s so sweet and soft-spoken.”
“That he is,” Chaz said. “What about Seth? He ready to go into business for himself?”
“He is, but he also promised no more experiments.”
Chaz laughed, catching the babies’ attentions. “He’s never going to live that stunt down.”
“Nope.” Quinn picked Ana up when she reached them. She reached over and played with Chaz’s long braid draped over the alpha’s shoulder. Quinn stopped her before she could eat the end of it, though. “All right, dinnertime, baby girl. Let’s go find your daddy.”
Before he could get up, though, Seth and everyone else walked into the room.
They all settled in beanbag chairs and the couch.
The kids abandoned their toys and wound up in their parents’ arms. Seth came over, but instead of sitting, he knelt in front of Quinn.
The others fell silent, and Quinn’s heart shot up into his throat.
Seth smiled at him and took something out of his back pocket.
“Babe…?”
Seth grasped Quinn’s left hand and lifted it to kiss the top. “If I promise to not do anymore self-experiments, will you marry me?”
Unable to find his voice, Quinn nodded. He watched through tears as Seth slipped a black and dark blue band on his ring finger.
Chaz took Ana, and Quinn slid off the beanbag and into his alpha’s waiting arms. Everyone clapped and shouted their congratulations as Quinn kissed Seth with everything he had.
“When… when did you get this?”
Seth chuckled softly and rested their foreheads together. “I only worked half a day, babe. I’d ordered it a week ago and picked it up after work. Thank you.”
Quinn smiled. “I love you.”
“Love you, too,” Seth murmured. “So much.”
