Felix rocks his hips, an invitation. But Kade only smirks, kissing down his abdomen, letting Felix’s cock jut up hungrily. Impatient, he tugs Felix’s pants off his legs, flinging them into a far corner. Felix chuckles, his eyes dark. He spreads his legs, a drop of precum trickling from his tip. “You’re hungry.”
“You think? What do you want?” Kade murmurs, kissing up the inside of his thigh, sinking his teeth lightly into Felix’s groin.
“Fuck me. Please,” Felix rasps.
Kade holds his omega’s legs open, and Felix leans up to watch, propping himself up on his arms. Kade licks around the base of his cock. Felix whines, pushing his hips up. So Kade smirks, leaning in to blow a hot puff of air on his tip. “You didn’t ask me to suck your cock.”
“Suck it,” Felix hisses. His cock twitches, bumping heavy against Kade’s lips, and Kade kisses down the length of it, its heat soaking into his skin.
“Here?” Kade wraps his lips around his base, licking over it, sucking it, and Felix groans.
“Not just there,” Felix says. “All of it.”
Kade grins, pinning his omega’s knees to the bed, spreading him wide. Felix whines, dripping onto his belly. And so Kade licks up his cock, takes his tip into his mouth, licking up salty precum.
Then he pushes Felix’s foreskin down with his lips, exposing sensitive skin, and drags his tongue around his head. Felix swears, dripping into Kade’s mouth, and Kade sucks on its heavy, velvety length. Felix has always liked this. And Kade knows the exact way to pleasure him, too. He strokes his thumb over Felix’s balls, pulling away, pressing a kiss to Felix’s tip.
Felix gasps, and Kade takes him deep, swallowing around his omega’s cock. Felix writhes beneath him, trusting him, a cry tearing from his throat.
Kade pulls away with a soft, wet pop, releasing his legs. Felix’s cock points at him, dusky and glistening. Kade lowers his head, licking over the soft skin of his balls, his own cock throbbing.
“Fuck,” Felix says, his pupils blown wide. “Feels—Feels good.”
But Kade hasn’t had enough. He noses down to his omega’s hole, kissing the pink pucker of it. Then he licks over it, slides his tongue in, tasting salty slick. Felix writhes, clenching around him, his cock jerking against his belly.
“Oh gods, Kade,” Felix says.
Kade slides his tongue in deep, before pulling away, licking his lips. “Just seeing if you’re ready.”
“I’m always ready,” Felix whispers, and Kade pushes two fingers into his hole, growling as Felix stretches around him, his ass hot. It’ll be hot around Kade’s cock, too. Kade groans, needing to feel his omega around him.
“On your knees,” he says, slapping Felix’s thigh. “Present yourself.”
Felix groans. He rolls around, kneeling with his legs spread. Then he straightens, reaching down to pull his cheeks open, exposing his hole. He smells like musk, like arousal and need, and something ferocious kindles in Kade’s chest.
Kade growls, leaning in, biting the soft skin of Felix’s cheek hard enough to leave teeth marks. Then the other cheek, and when he climbs onto the bed behind his omega, his cock pushes up against the cleft of Felix’s ass, grinding firmly against it.
“You’re gonna take my cock,” Kade growls, sliding it against Felix’s exposed hole. Felix groans, rocking back onto him, leaving a smear of slick on Kade’s tip.
“All of it,” Felix whispers. When Kade presses up against his back and looks over his shoulder, he finds the tip of Felix’s cock jutting against his round belly, dribbling precum. Felix is pregnant with their child, and Kade wants all of him, wants to see how aroused he is.
So he reaches forward, wrapping his fingers around his bondmate’s cock, angling it down to study the flushed length of it. “You’re so hard,” he growls in Felix’s ear, licking down his neck. Felix’s cock jumps in his hand. “Gonna fuck you so hard you cum everywhere.”
Felix moans, rocking forward, thrusting his cock between Kade’s fingers. It slides against the pads of his fingertips, smooth and solid. Kade slips his cock up against Felix’s hole, pushing his head against it.
Felix sinks down onto him, and his hole spreads tight and hot around Kade’s tip, taking him in. Pleasure hums through his body. Kade bites into Felix’s shoulder, fucking in, and Felix cries out, his chest heaving.
“Kade,” Felix chokes. Kade anchors his hands on Felix’s hips, burying himself deep.
“So tight for me,” he growls, sliding out, thrusting in. Felix trembles, dripping onto the sheets, his ass squeezing around Kade’s cock. Kade sinks his teeth further down his bondmate’s shoulder, reaching up to cup his abdomen. It’s their kid in Felix’s belly, they’re going to be a family, and Felix is his.
“Mine,” Kade says, shoving in deep, throbbing when Felix cries out, his entire body shuddering. So Kade hooks his arm over Felix’s chest, rolling his hips to fill his omega, and he’s already at the edge.
He trails his hand down to Felix’s wrist, rubbing over the bonding mark. Felix’s eyes widen.
“Can I?” Kade asks, his voice husky. “Do you want...?”
Felix nods, jerkily, a deep blush rising on his cheeks.
Kade growls, lifting Felix’s wrist to his lips. He licks over the silvery scar, sniffing at the intense lavender scent, and when he presses his teeth against Felix’s scent gland, Felix stiffens, his breathing coming short and fast.
“Gonna be my mate again,” Kade whispers, dragging his teeth over Felix’s wrist. With his other hand, he slides his fingers over Felix’s pulsing cock.
“Yes,” Felix whines. “Yes, please.”
Kade sinks his teeth down hard, breaking skin. Felix cries out, his back arching, cock throbbing as he spurts all over the bed, his body tight. Kade barely tastes the metallic tang of blood. He’s marking his bondmate again, and Felix is his, and Kade loves him.
He strokes Felix through his climax, savoring the heat of his body, the sweat between their skin. Mine. Desire surges hot in his body, makes the pressure in his cock spike. Kade fucks hard into his bondmate, cradling his belly. “Gonna come.”
“I want your knot,” Felix purrs, and Kade roars, fucking in deep, pleasure crashing through his body as he spills into his bondmate, filling him, marking him.
Felix moans beneath him. Kade leans forward, supporting his omega as he rolls them onto their sides. Before his knot swells, Felix squirms. Kade rolls over onto his back, and Felix shifts, so he’s straddling Kade, his balls resting lightly on Kade’s abs, his belly round, his lips curved in a smile.
“I love you,” Felix says, his gaze warm.
“Love you too,” Kade murmurs, catching his wrist. Blood glistens across the new bonding mark, and Kade licks it clean, a coppery tang on his tongue. How did they get from crying on the kitchen porch, to his knot swelling inside Felix, a new marking on his wrist?
Felix stretches around him with a moan, his eyelids fluttering shut. Kade swallows. Even though he’s put on a bit of weight, Felix is still slender, his lips pink, his belly growing with child. Kade can’t voice how much his bondmate means to him.
He curls his fingers around Felix’s wrist, examining the line of dried blood crossing over the old silvery scar.
Felix blushes. So Kade exposes his own wrist, where Felix had left his own mark two decades ago.
“You wanna?” Kade asks, his pulse pattering. Felix could still decide not to, and—
“Yes,” Felix says, his eyes gleaming. He curls his hands around Kade’s forearm, and Kade’s heart quickens when Felix licks over his scent gland, a soft, wet touch. His nostrils flare.
Their gazes meet. Felix sinks his teeth into Kade’s wrist, breaking skin, and pain and pleasure winding through Kade’s body. Kade grunts. Felix marked him. Felix chose to mark him, and it means he wants Kade back in his life. Their eyes locked, Felix drags his tongue over the wound, his hands gentle around Kade’s forearm.
Kade swallows, his throat tight. It feels like another part of thei
r relationship clicking back into place.
“You’re sure about this,” Kade says, a little tendril of uncertainty whispering in his mind. For so long, he had believed himself unworthy of his bondmate, and this...
“I’m sure,” Felix murmurs, setting Kade’s hand on his belly.
Kade’s heart expands, his chest too tight. He looks at his bondmate, Felix’s body locked with Kade’s, his belly swollen with their child. Kade sits up, cradling Felix in the gap between his chest and his thighs. His knot shifts in Felix, and Felix moans. Kade grins.
“I can’t believe this,” he says, brushing his thumb over Felix’s abdomen. “I’m gonna be a dad.”
“You’ll be a good dad,” Felix says, covering Kade’s hand with his own. “I’m sure of it.”
Kade closes the inches between them, kissing his omega slow and sweet. Felix cups his face, his lips gentle.
When they eventually pull apart, Felix slides his arms around Kade’s shoulders, just holding him. “I’m sorry for everything,” he murmurs. “I’ve put you through so much.”
Kade kisses his shoulder, sliding his palm down Felix’s spine. Maybe they could have changed the past. But they’re stronger now, better people for what they’ve been through. “Just don’t do it again,” he says. “I told you, I’m staying with you and protecting you. And our baby.”
Felix draws a deep breath. “Really? Is that enough? Sometimes... it feels as though I’ve made too many mistakes. Sometimes I don’t... don’t know if our past can be repaired.”
So Kade turns his wrist up between them, Felix’s marking a thin curve of dried blood on his skin. “And I asked if you wanted to be my mate again. Says enough, doesn’t it?”
Felix stares at the marking, his eyes growing soft. “You’re more than I could ever deserve, Kade.”
And that calms something in Kade’s chest. Felix thinks Kade is enough. “I’m glad you came back,” he says. “And I’m not sorry about the child.”
He kisses along Felix’s jaw to his chin, then up to his lips. Felix smiles, and Kade presses their foreheads together, enjoying their newfound peace. He never thought they’d return to this; their bond reestablished, Felix smiling, his gaze affectionate.
A little later, Felix pulls away from Kade, looking down at the bed. “Oh. I was going to wash the sheets.”
“We don’t really wash them,” Kade says.
“That’s because we’ve been using towels.” Felix grins. “But we forgot last night, and there’s dried cum everywhere.”
Kade grins. “Want more?”
“Maybe later.” Felix laughs, swinging his legs off the bed. Then he bends and scoops something off the floor. “I guess I shouldn’t have poked under the mattress.”
Felix hands him the chain. Kade sighs, looking at it. It had kept the ring safe with him all these years, and everything the chain set off had turned out better than he expected. “Where’s the ring?”
Felix blushes. He reaches under the mattress, pulling the ring up after a moment. His expression turns pensive. “I never thought you held on to it.”
Kade’s pulse thrums. He takes the ring back from Felix, rubbing his thumb over its edge. Along its inner surface, the carved names glint in the sunlight. Felix Henry. Kaden Brentwood.
“Do you want it?” Kade asks. He holds his breath. Even though they’ve bonded again, and even though Felix carries his child, he can’t help his jangling nerves. Felix could always refuse, like he did five years ago.
But Felix smiles, his eyes warm. “Is that any way to propose?”
Kade grins. Felix isn’t saying no, so Kade takes his hand, leaning in so close their lips are a hairsbreadth apart. “Felix Henry, will you marry me?”
Felix’s breath hitches. He kisses Kade softly, tears welling in his eyes, and Kade’s heart pounds in his ears.
Against his lips, Felix murmurs, “Yes.”
It feels like a balloon filling up in his chest. Kade grins, kissing his bondmate hard, breathing in his scent. He had once dreamed of this. And they’re savaging their dreams now, placing the pieces carefully back, weaving their lives together. Felix kisses him just as hard, his fingers winding through Kade’s hair, their bodies pressed close.
They break apart a while later, Felix glancing down at the ring. So Kade slides it onto his finger, blinking as it sits snug just before Felix’s second knuckle.
“I put on weight,” Felix says, his face falling.
“You’re carrying our baby,” Kade says, scooping his bondmate into his arms. “Wear it on your neck.”
Felix blushes, suddenly shy. Kade kisses him. They’re bonded again, and that’s all that matters.

Felix
When Felix wakes the next day, he finds Kade’s pillow empty. Instead, his alpha is curled up further along the bed, nosing at his bare abdomen.
“Hey,” Kade murmurs, trailing his lips over Felix’s belly. “Don’t know if you can hear me. I’m your dad.”
Kade grins to himself, pride and delight in his eyes. Felix stops breathing.
“I can’t believe it either,” Kade says, caressing Felix’s belly with a finger. “Your other dad just told me yesterday. He’s a jerk, but I love him. And I’ll love you, too.”
Felix’s breath catches. He can’t quite believe it, either. Kade loves him. Kade has looked past their history, has looked past his lies, and Felix is so grateful for this man.
“When you get a bit older, we’ll play basketball,” Kade says. “Or maybe dress-up. I don’t know. Felix is the one who likes dresses. My mom made some for him when we were kids.”
When they stepped into the kitchen yesterday, Kade’s mom had smiled, meeting Felix’s eyes. And then she had said, “You did great,” and Felix had cried a little then, too.
Kade nuzzles his belly. “We had a tree house when we were kids, though. Your other dad and I, we met each other when we were ten.”
“Are you going to tell our child our life story?” Felix asks, his voice raspy with sleep.
Kade glances up, his cheeks flushing. Felix hadn’t thought he’d be shy, talking to their child, but it’s adorable. Kade kisses his navel. “Just saying hi.”
“Well, go ahead and talk. I’ll just listen over here.” Felix grins, stretching out. Kade crawls back up the bed to him, wrapping Felix in his arms.
“I’ll talk to it later,” Kade says, nuzzling his forehead.
Felix smiles, burying his face in Kade’s chest. He still can’t believe that they’re this close again, that Kade has marked him, that Kade wants to marry him. He takes Kade’s hand in his, setting it on his belly. “If you keep still long enough, you’ll feel it move.”
Kade swallows, looking down at his hand. It’s wide, almost spanning the width of Felix’s abdomen. Together, they breathe in silence, Felix smelling the spicy pine notes of Kade’s scent, Kade staying motionless, waiting for their child to move.
The baby shifts three minutes later. Kade glances up, eyes wide.
“I felt it,” he says. “It fucking moved!”
Felix beams. Kade looks at him like he’s just discovered a cool motorcycle accessory, and Felix leans in, kissing him on the nose. “It moves all the time, silly.”
“Yeah, but this was the first time I felt it.” Kade sighs, setting both his hands on Felix’s belly. “It feels real now.”
His alpha wants this child. Felix breathes out the tension in his body, leaning closer to Kade. If he’d known Kade would be so excited... If he’d known Kade would accept him despite the things he’s done wrong, they would have saved themselves so much heartache.
“Hey,” Kade says, kissing him on the temple. “What’s wrong?”
“Just thinking.” Felix sighs. “We could have avoided all this—you could have touched the baby much sooner... and I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. I just... I thought you wouldn’t want it.”
Kade brushes their lips together.. “We’re putting the past behind us, remember? I want you and t
he baby. That’s all you need to remember.”
And Felix relaxes, leaning into him. “I love you,” he whispers.
Kade grins, and the light in his eyes fills Felix with warmth.
Over the next few weeks, they settle into a new routine.
In the moments between Kade’s programming work and Felix’s painting, they pull a second chair up to the computer, looking up more articles on caring for infants. Kade says Felix needs more nutritious food. Felix protests, saying he has enough. Kade returns home from the store anyway, bringing fresh fruits and veggies.
On the weekends, Kade moves their things upstairs. There are three bedrooms on the second floor: one for them, one for a nursery, and one for Kade’s mom. They convert the room downstairs to a study, and together, they move into their new bedroom. Kade presses Felix up against the window, the doorframe, the closet, and they mark the room with their scents.
In the mornings, Felix finds Kade talking to his belly when he wakes. When Kade looks up to find him watching, he curls up around Felix, stroking his face. The engagement ring is at the jeweler’s, getting resized. Felix forgets about it sometimes, until he looks at the new marking on his wrist.
Then he remembers: they’re getting married. They’re having a baby together.
These thoughts holds him through his hormonal swings, when nothing feels right, or he’s sad, or angry, and he can’t control his feelings.
“Work sucks,” Kade says one day. “New deadlines coming up and no one thinks they’re realistic.”
“At least you’re not pregnant,” Felix answers. And Kade smiles, stepping over to pull Felix against himself.
“Remember how I said that store manager waddles?” Felix says a little over eight months into the pregnancy. “Now I’m the one waddling.”
“You don’t waddle,” Kade murmurs, rubbing his swollen ankles. “You move fine.”
“I waddle, Kade. Don’t lie.” Felix pouts. Kade massages Felix’s calves, pressing his fingertips into Felix’s muscles, dragging them down, firm and warm. Felix moans, his fingers digging into the bed sheets. “That feels good. But it doesn’t mean you’re right.”
