The Talk

Rita’s POV

The house is nice, the family room we walked into is spacious. There is a high hat with champagne, roses and chocolate covered strawberries set up. Clearly these are not for me. Must be for the girlfriend Bec told me about.

At least I know he can be romantic and seductive. I look back at him and I see the devastation on his face. I need to let him off the hook. I mean if I’m honest I was riding Vincent not 5 hours ago. We had started doing it without a condom recently, since I am taking the shot. I can’t fault my mate for not waiting me, I didn’t wait for him.

“Is the kitchen set up for your girl friend?” I ask smiling. He shakes his head. “Then we can sit in there.”

I go through the door and sit down at the table. He follows suit.

“I can break up with her, we aren’t marked or anything. I mean we wanted to but it never felt right.” He tries to explain rambling a little. I reach across for his hand to quiet him.

“I have a boyfriend I need to break up as well,” I thought that would comfort him, but he growled instead. I raised my eyebrow at him. “Will your kids be okay with me just appearing? I mean we need a plan to explain to them who I am and why I’m here all of sudden.”

“Yeah we need a plan there.” Garrett is having an issue breathing.

“What if we got rid of this tenison,” I purpose. “It’s ridiculous how badly I want to be in your arms right now.”

“Get over here then,” he opens his arms and I sit on his lap.

“Better?” I ask putting my head on his shoulder.

“Much,” he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close.

“So my sister told me your story I don’t care. If the moon goddess wants us to be together than I trust her above all else.”

“I accept you as well.” He whispers.

“Then I need to text someone and you have your own explaining to do. I assume she is a pack member,” he nods, “a warrior” he nods, “she is going to try and kill me,” he nods “but you will protect me?” He nods. “Ok then. I’ll make my text and you get us coffee or tea or whatever, and we will meet back here in 5 to discuss how this is going to work.”

He releases me and I step outside.

“Hey babe did you make it to Colorado okay?” Vincent answers.

“Yeah I did listen I hate to do this on the phone. But I met someone, and it’s not just anyone. I met my someone.” I feel like a horrible person but rip the bandaid.

“Babe you left here literally 5 hours ago. Pretty sure my cum is still inside you and you are breaking up with me by phone saying you’ve met someone and you want to screw them.”

“Basically yeah,” I have to remember to not let Garrett eat me tonight if things go that way. I need to clean my area throughly.

There is silence on the line. As Vincent processes what is happening.

“I only have 5 mins, he is kinda breaking up with his girlfriend and we are meeting, so I need to get off the phone.” I tell him. I hear him trying to said something but there are no words actually coming out. “Goodbye Vincent.”

I hang up and turn around to see Garrett standing in door way.

“Was that all a show or was there actually someone on the receiving end of that heartless break-up?”

“It wasn’t heartless. It was direct and if you want to know here is my phone you can call him back.” I hand him my phone. He looks down and sees Vincent BF heart emoji Is calling back.

“Hello,” Garret answered a smirk on his face. “Yes who is this?.........sorry that is impossible..........because Re is mine now. Warts and all.” Garret hits End.

“Now that was heartless.” I tell him.

“Maybe a little,” he nods his head for me to come inside. “I am making coffee.”

“Do you have a tee shirt I can borrow? I need to get out of this dress,” I smile at him as he looks me up and down.

Garrett POV

We have been sitting here talking for hours. We have decided several things.

1. We will likely mate and mark each other tomorrow after she deals with her father who is going to hate me. Also because both of us have had sex in the last 12 hours, we both feel proper cleaning of my/our room and ourselves is called for.

2. We will live here and she will run her business from our basement. She may have to go on business trips but she will keep them to no more than 48 hrs. Unless we all can go together.

3. We worked out a new routine for the kids so she can help me.

4. We do want more kids in the next three years.

We made all this decisions over two pots of coffee he only leaving my lap to get refills. Now that is the way to have a conversation, we a beautiful woman on your lap, sparks and tingles shooting throughout your body. I could talk like that for hours more.

Her smile is intoxicating. She takes our cups to the sink and washes them up. She is wearing only my tee shirt and her underwear. Apparently, bras are built into dresses.

“We need to discuss when and how to tell the kids,” she turned back after drying and putting the cups away.

“That may not be too hard. They know about mates, they know the basics of how it works. So we will explain you came here and we are moon goddess given mates.” I smirk I want to kiss her so bad.

“They are 5 they are going to understand?”

“They are a smart 5”

“And our age difference doesn’t bother you right?”

“What 6 years, no I’m okay with it.”

“Garret babe oh how sweet,” I hear the champagne pop and Rita looks at me. “Babe I’m pouring champagne. Did I get some good gossip tonight.”

Rita makes a face and mouths “she is going to smell me on you.” Then she cocks an eyebrow.

I take a deep breath and go through to the den.

Casey is halfway undressed eating strawberries and drinking champagne. “Good choices babe, how did you get charged already did you duck out early?”

“No Alpha sent me home because...”

“Oh my goodness is it because I was making eyes at you? Did you get in trouble? Is that what the mindlink was about? Sorry I blocked it I was trying to pull some chick off of Our new Female Gamma. Oh but babe I have to tell you. Luna’s sister mated to Beta, we were standing there he made that growl. She bailed on him rejected our Beta. I mean really I knew she was a bitch the minute she stepped out of the car,” I growled and she stopped talking.

“She is not a bitch. She is not mated to Beta. And she rejected no one.” I snarled. “Had you bothered to mindlink me back you would know she is my mate and we have been together for the past few hours.”

Casey was frozen. “What?”

“She is my moon goddess second chance mate. We accepted each other.”

“Have you mated?” Casey looked sick.

“No we both had to break up with someone and we decided to wait.”

“You literally plowed me an hour before you met her.”

Rita heard that, damn it. How she hasn’t busted through the door I’ll never know, but I sure respect it.

“I think you need to get dressed and go.”

Casey started to cry, “I rejected my mate for you.”

“What the hell when?” I was shocked. Who the fuck does that?

“At the full moon run about three months ago. I found him I rejected him. I thought we had chosen each other.”

“Casey why the hell would anyone reject their mate?”

“Because when you are already in love that is enough,” she yelled and came closer to me and then she smelled Rita. I grabbed Casey by the wrist. “I’ll teach her to touch my man. Where is she? Where is the little slut?”

I growled again, “don’t call her that, you need to leave now,”

“You so proud of yourself you get an Alpha’s daughter. Well she must be pretty bad if the best the moon goddess could do is you,” Casey ran out the door. I locked it behind her.

I stood in the den for a minute not waiting to face Rita yet. Then I heard a giggle. I opened the kitchen door to see Rita trying not to laugh too loudly.

“Dude she is pissed,” Rita laughed. “You going to have to beat her up or something, She wants me dead.”

“I can’t believe she rejected her mate, who does that?”

“My sister was sure you were going to reject me. So.,,,”

“Why would I reject you?” I cut her off.

“You’re a widow with two kids and in love with Casey. Also you are cold and stuffy distant and a hard man” she walked slowly toward me. “You wouldn’t want me”

As Rita touched my chest and slide her arms around my neck, I forgot why we were waiting and I grabbed her hips a lifted her up to me. She wrapped her incredible legs around me.

“Are you cold and distant?” She asked playing with my hair. “You seem rather warm and welcoming.”

She titled her head and the leaned in. Our lips collide after hours of control.

A mate kiss is like lighting hitting. And the moment her lips touched mine we both groaned. We had our tongues in each other’s mouths, I pulled her hips tighter to me and she tighten her grip on me.

“I have a guest bed,” I said out of no where.

“What are we waiting on?” Rita’s desire was intense.

“I can’t remember,” we kissed and I carried her up to the guest room.
