the sound of the front door, even more so when Jerrod strode into the room.
    “Is everything okay?” he asked, concern very clear in his voice.
    “Of course,” Kaydin answered without letting Serena leave his arms.
    “So why would Cindy relieve me of duty and send me home? She said my family needs me.”
    “We do,” Kaydin said as he held his hand out for Jerrod to take. “We’ll always need you, especially now that our mubella has expressed her wish to have our baby as soon as possible.”
    “You have?” Jerrod said with such wonder in his voice that Kaydin couldn’t help but love the man more. If ever there was a man more suited to being a father, Kaydin had yet to meet him. There was absolutely no doubt in his mind that Jerrod would love, protect, and provide for his family to the very best of his ability.
    Serena nodded. “If that’s okay with you.”
    “Okay with me?” Jerrod asked in such a bewildered voice that for a moment Kaydin worried the man’s translator was malfunctioning. “Okay with me?” He pulled Serena and Kaydin into his embrace. “Little one, I am honored that you want to have our babies.”
    She grinned impishly, leaned up to press a kiss to his jaw, and asked, “So why are we still standing in the kitchen?”

    Jerrod could barely believe his good fortune. He’d loved Kaydin for years, and between them they had chosen to apply for a human mubella, but never in his wildest dreams had he thought she’d not only love them as they loved her, but that she would magnify their feelings for each other tenfold, a hundredfold, hell, maybe infinitely.
    Every emotion he’d felt until today paled in comparison to the red-hot, amazing, all-encompassing love he felt for both of the people in his arms right now. He grinned at Serena’s teasing question about why they were still in the kitchen, bent forward, and then lifted her onto the countertop.
    He didn’t give her a moment to protest, just fused his lips with hers and thrust his tongue into her mouth. She moaned under his gentle assault, wrapping her arms around him as he burrowed his hands into her hair.
    “No more clothes,” he mumbled against her lips before lifting her slightly so that Kaydin could drag her pants off. As soon as the bossy words left his lips, he knew he was pushing too fast. She was human. They didn’t walk around their homes naked. But he wanted her to. He wanted for him and Kaydin to get back to the lifestyle they’d led before they’d taken to covering their nudity at home in deference to their guest. But she was theirs now, their mubella, their wife, and hopefully very soon the mother of their children, and he wanted a true Desconian mating.
    “No more clothes,” he said again as he untangled her arms from around his neck so that Kaydin could remove her shirt.
    She giggled, glanced at her nakedness, and smiled. “No more clothes,” she said like a magician would say “ta-da.”
    “No,” he said, realizing that she’d misunderstood him. “No more clothes, ever.”
    “Ever?” she squeaked in embarrassment.
    “He means,” Kaydin said, wrapping his arms around Jerrod’s waist, “no more clothes in the apartment—for any of us.”
    “Oh,” she said, looking relieved, “that’s going to take some getting used to, but I’ll try.”
    He nodded, silently promising to remind her as often as possible. Although there was a certain appeal in getting the opportunity to tear her clothes off. She grinned at his expression, almost as if she could see exactly what was going on in his mind.
    “Race you to the bedroom?” she asked with a wink.
    “Nope,” he said, hauling her over his shoulder, “sofa.”
    “But,” she started to splutter, but Kaydin must have cut off her words with a kiss because she started to squirm instead, the sweet scent of her arousal filling the room.
    “No buts, beautiful,” Kaydin said as Jerrod placed her on the sofa and arranged her the way he wanted. He
