“Just want to tell you the good news that James, Alan, and I have finally done it.”
“What?” Mason was bewildered for a few seconds before he understood what Anthony was talking about. “Oh! Congratulations!”
“Thank you. James and I owe it to Blake, though. Alan told us Blake was the one who convinced him to give us a chance. The three of us mated last night.”
Mason felt a glowing sense of pride at his incredible omega. “That’s amazing. I’ll be sure to tell Blake about it later. He’s asleep at the moment.”
Anthony grinned at him. “Tire him out, eh?”
He rolled his eyes. “Get your mind out of the gutter, man. It’s not sex. Not that Kee and I have any complaints about that. A pregnant omega’s sex drive is through the roof. My dick is hurting so much right now, I’ll be thankful if Blake loses interest in any kind of sex for the next two, three days.”
Anthony whistled. “Damn! You and Kee are living the dream.”
Mason snorted. “Wait until Alan is pregnant with your first child. You’ll be singing a different tune when he becomes insatiable for your dick.”
“I don’t think there’s anything terrible about that. I love sex. In fact, all alphas love sex, preferably lots and lots of it.”
“Not when Blake insists on riding me six, seven times throughout the night every night for the past two weeks.”
“You can share the burden with Kian.”
“You’re not listening, man. Six, seven times with me in addition to the same for Kian.”
Anthony’s eyes widened in shock. “Is Blake in heat?”
“No! If he was going through that, his omega pheromones would have given me and Kee the boost we’d need to slide into our alpha ruts. Then, we would have no problem matching Blake load for load.”
“Holy shit! Now I can’t wait for Alan to get pregnant.”
“Best of luck with that,” Mason said. “Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. Why do you think I’m walking with a bit of a limp right now? My fucking dick hurts like hell.”
“I wish I had your problem, man.”
“No, you don’t,” Mason scoffed while Anthony chortled. “Anyway, why aren’t you with your mates? I’m an alpha, too. I know how rough it gets to leave your mates, especially when the bond is so fresh.”
“It is,” Anthony admitted. “But I don’t want to tell you this on the phone. I want to share the news in person. I could have waited until the bond between James, Alan, and me settled, but I’m too excited.”
“Cool. The three of you should come over next week. We can grill in the backyard or something. We have so much to celebrate. I also need to talk to Alan.”
Anthony glared at Mason. “What about?”
He mock-punched Anthony. “Cool it, man. I’m not going to harm or poach on your omega. I have my own mates.”
Anthony gave him a sheepish smile. “Sorry, Mase. My instincts are going haywire at the moment.”
“It’s fine. I get it. Anyway, I need Alan to be my tax consultant. The one I have now is excellent, but she’ll be moving to Europe with her alphas by the end of next month.”
“Give Alan a call then. I’m sure he’ll be delighted to add your diner to his client list.”
“I will.”
There were a few seconds of silence before Anthony said, “Blake’s still fighting you all the way? The last time you and I chatted three weeks ago, he was driving you up the wall.”
“Yeah. I love Blake, but he’s as obstinate as a mule. He insists on sitting in front of his laptop to design those websites and continue with his translation jobs even though I’ve been telling him he needs to cut down on the number of jobs he takes on. Kee and I are worried about his health. He’s almost thirty weeks pregnant now.”
“Blake is an independent omega, much like Alan.”
“I know, and I’m aware that babies are expensive. That’s the reason why Kee and I work so damn hard. Blake insists on contributing. I feel like a failure of an alpha. I can provide for my mates and babies just fine.”
“Uh oh. I hope you didn’t tell Blake that.”
Mason blushed and Anthony burst out laughing.
“Holy shit on a fucking stick! You did, didn’t you? Oh, man! I wish I could have seen Blake tear you a new asshole for that.”
Mason chuckled and nodded. “Blake was livid.”
“I bet. I met Blake through James long before you three got together. Blake won’t appreciate being treated like a weak omega who needs to be taken care of by his alphas. You’re lucky he hasn’t chopped your head off for that remark.”
“True,” Mason conceded. “Anyway, there’s something I’ve always been curious about. Blake is a very beautiful omega. Why didn’t you and James go after him?”
“He’s gorgeous, but he and I don’t have the chemistry between us. Besides, I was too focused on James back then. As for James, he once told me Blake is like a brother to him.”
“Great.”
Anthony snickered. “Feeling a little insecure?”
Mason gave Anthony both his middle fingers and scowled. “As if. Blake would never go for your sorry ass and tiny dick.”
“But at least it’s way bigger than yours.”
He and Anthony burst out laughing after that. Anthony stayed for another few minutes before leaving the diner. Mason didn’t get to read many of the documents in his office before he had to return to the house to check on Blake, but he was glad Anthony had stopped by for a short visit. Their conversation helped him to relax a bit more. He didn’t feel as stressed out as he had been earlier. He was looking forward to the birth of his babies. The doctor had scheduled a C-section in six weeks’ time. He had to wait for more than a month before he could hold the babies in his arms. He didn’t expect fate to have a different plan in mind.
