Chapter 0256

“Oh.”

His fingers pinched my nipples with every thrust.

I started bouncing on his cock, taking control from him.

He groaned, his hands sliding up my thighs and stomach.

His dark eyes flickered between my body and our reflection in the mirror.

“So fucking tight!” he growled as I slammed down hard.

Zachary gritted his teeth, squeezing my breasts tightly.

I felt him swell even more inside me as my muscles clenched around him.

I threw my head back against his shoulder, riding out my orgasm.

He filled me completely with his release.

“You will get me into trouble,” he muttered, his lips grazing my ear.

“Then tell them we’re trying for a pup,” I whispered.

He gripped my face, turning me toward him.

Excitement and hesitation warred in his dark eyes. “I don’t want to lie.”

“It doesn’t have to be a lie,” I murmured before kissing him.

“Even with everything going on right now?”

I nodded. I’d been considering this for months.

Waiting for the perfect moment.

But there would never be a perfect time.

If Athena and Alexander could do it while being at the center of chaos, why couldn’t we?

I’d already seen how amazing he was with Charlotte.

He kissed me deeply. “Then no more playing with yourself unless I’m there.”

He winked and led me toward the shower. “Better go for round two.”

“I haven’t stopped birth control yet.”

He grinned mischievously. “There’s nothing wrong with a little practice.”

“One condition,” Alexander snapped at me. “You take me or your mate.”

I groaned. Zachary had warned me, but I didn’t think they’d actually enforce it.

“Why can’t I take Athena?” I protested.

“Athena is with the twins. She… needs to be with them.”

“Oh. Well, Brianna can come with me. Julian can’t reach us, and you have the key. We can’t get to him either. If that’s what you’re worried about.”

“Why does everything have to be a battle with you?”

“It’s not.” I shrugged.

Alexander propped his elbows on his desk, resting his chin on clasped hands.

His crimson eyes fixed on Zachary. “Fine. Take Brianna.”

“Seriously?” Zachary scoffed.

“She’s right. He can’t get out. They can’t get in.”

“Do I need to remind you that Gabriel escaped!”

“The bars have been narrowed since then. Besides, the idiot keeps shifting in and out of wolf form like a madman. Maybe his twin can get through to him. We’ve been trying for two days.”

I did a small fist pump in victory. I rarely won anything against Alexander.

He called Brianna to meet me.

She smiled at me but refused to look at my mate.

I didn’t understand why they were still arguing over who her mate was. It wasn’t any of our business.

“You want me to help?” Brianna asked in surprise when Alexander explained.

“You don’t have to do anything. Just ‘supervise.’” I made air quotes, ensuring both men saw.

I loved them both, but their lack of trust was frustrating.

“Sure. I can do that.”

Brianna followed me across to the dungeons.

We slipped down the stairs quietly.

Julian quickly became aware of my presence.

“Well, it’s about time, sis!”
