.”The compliment warmed Collin all the way through.“Thank you, Adam.Now, you want to do a couple of pictures for your papa and daddy?”“Uh-huh.And one for Uncle Logan.”Collin smiled.“Okay.Let me get your crayons and we can hang out in here until your papa comes to get you.Maybe later you can meet Brandon, huh?”Adam nodded and sat back in his chair expectantly.Maybe he wouldn’t be too bad at this father thing after all.* * * *Mikey shook the principal’s hand as his student athletes finished up with the high school students.“We really appreciate the school making an effort to educate our students about shifters,” the principal said.The guy had to be shorter than Collin, but he was at least three times as wide.This alone would not have made a ripple in Mikey’s mind, but the fact that he guy kept running his sweaty little palms on his thigh during the student speeches had really wigged Mikey out.112Jana Downs“Not a problem.We’re just doing our job to help the community.”He took a step back to get some space between them.If Mr.Thompkins touched him one more time, he was going to clock him.The fat idiot grinned.“And a damn fine job you do.I used to watch your games before your injury.You were a hell of a player.”He stepped into Mikey, and Mikey bit back a growl.“What do you say to getting a drink after this with dinner? I’d love to hear more about what you’ve been up to since your retirement.”“No, thank you,” Mikey said, taking another step back.“I have to get back to work, and then I have dinner plans with my mate.”Mr.Thompkins’s face fell.“Oh.Well, that’s understandable.”He wandered off after that.Thank God.Darrel finally shook off the three teenage girls fawning over him and made his way over to Mikey.“That was exhausting.How many more schools are on the list?”“Four more in the district before break.” He tried not to sound as apologetic as he felt.“Thanks for doing this.I know it’s a pain in the ass, but you guys really seemed to connect with the kids.”Darrel smiled.“It’s all good.I needed an excuse to get out of class anyways.”“Better not do that too often,” Mikey teased.“All right.Gather everyone up and put them in the van.It’s time we head back.” He needed to check his messages.Des had called him earlier, but he hadn’t been able to answer it during the assembly.He took the phone out of his pocket and dialed.“Everything okay?” he asked after Des answered.“Oh yeah, everything’s fine.I had Collin take care of it.” Des sounded like he was driving if the traffic noise was any indication.“My sitter cancelled, so Adam has been hanging out with your mate.He had a really good time, too.Right, bud?”Mikey couldn’t hear the response from Adam, but he imagined it was in the affirmative by Des’s chuckle.Thrice Bitten113“Oh yeah?” Mikey asked.“Was Collin okay?” His mate didn’t have a lot of experience with children.“He was great.You should have seen them together.It was really cute.Though you and I are gonna have a long chat over you not telling me that you two are getting married.”Mikey sucked in a breath and nearly choked on his own spit for his trouble.He coughed for a good thirty seconds before he could speak.“What?”“Oh, shit.I’m sorry.I thought you had asked him.I didn’t know he was planning on asking you.”“But I haven’t even told him that I love him yet! I had a plan.” It was a damn good plan, too.Fuck.He would have to step things up.He would have to drop by the jewelers and see if he could find something that would do in the meantime.But if Collin was going to ask him, then he might not need to go.Des laughed.“I love you, Mikey.I really do.Good luck!”“Thanks, Des.I’ll keep you apprised of the situation.”He hung up the phone, staring at it in his palm afterward like it contained the answer to the question circulating through his mind.Marriage? They were already mated, but he had thought that Collin wanted to continue to take it slow.Apparently, he was mistaken.He took a deep breath.Was he ready to take the plunge again so soon?After he dropped the kids off at the college, he made his way over to the florist to pick up something special for Collin.They’d already planned a romantic evening, but now that he knew what Collin was thinking it was more so.His impatience grew with each passing second as he waited until seven to head over to Collin’s condo.He shot a text to Collin as he climbed in the car.Ready or not.Here I come.114Jana DownsThe reply was almost instantaneous.;) Already? Quick off the draw tonight, babe? Lol.Just come on in.Don’t bother to knock.I’ll be waiting [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
