Page 43 of Unknowingly Being his Brat

“That was amazing,” Cass breathed, his posture tired and it was obvious he was ready for a nap.

“It really was,” Milo agreed, his head resting on my shoulder.

“How about we call it a day and find another day for you to talk things out some more?” I suggested. Jeremy and Milo would need a lot more time to talk everything through, but today had already helped immensely.

“I would love that,” Jeremy said, smiling at us both.

“Deal,” Milo said, hugging my side, his head still on my shoulder. “Maybe a brotherly run?”

Jeremy’s grin was blinding as he answered, “Sounds perfect.”

“So,” I began, following Milo inside his house. “What do you want to do with it?”

“Well, your house is much better so I was thinking of finishing it and then offering it to the pack again. With many new packmates it makes no sense for it to stand empty.”

“I agree. I’ll let Jeremy know that we’re focusing on making the last changes to it and that you so generously want to give it back.”

“Can it still be considered generous when all I want is to live with you in your home? It hardly seems like I’m giving much up.”

Smiling, I took his hand in mine. “It’s no longer just my house, Milo. It’s ours. And I think offering this to others in our pack will help those out who want to be closer to the pack alpha. We just need to finish your projects so it’s move-in ready.”

“I actually liked doing the work myself, with Silas’ help, of course. I hope you don’t mind getting dirty with me?” He winked, the move enough to cause theheat inside of me to rise once again. I swore only one look from my sexy mate and I was itching to claim him all over again. Or let him claim me.

“Never,” I promised, my voice husky with want for him.

“Hey!” Silas’ voice broke the lust between us as he stepped closer into the house. “I was wondering when the two of you would be done fucking every second.” He was teasing, but I still felt possessive over my mate, so I grabbed Milo closer to my side.

“Nah, now it’s just once an hour. Much easier than before,” Milo joked, pulling me with him to greet Silas.

“Poor Darius,” Silas teased. “I’m sure a bit of reno work will help him regain his strength.”

I knew he was teasing, but now I felt like I had to show him just how strong I was. My wolf would not ever bow down from a challenge.

“Exactly,” I agreed easily. “We should tackle the bathroom you and I, then Milo can finish up in the kitchen.”

“Bathroom? I thought you were keeping it as is?”

“I was, but now that someone else is moving in, it needs to be done. I was fine with it, but for a family it really needs updating,” Milo explained. “Besides, the tiles are so hard to get clean, not to mention the floor tiles are really slippery when wet. Not at all optimal for a family.”

“Well then, I’m happy to help. Cass and Jeremy are finished with Cass’ old house so I’ll be moving in tomorrow,” Silas informed us, following me up the stairs.

“I thought you already lived there?”

“Well, I did, sort of, I slept on an air mattress in the living room, but now I can get my belongings moved in and everything.”

“What will happen to your old home?” I asked.

“I gave it to my sister.”

“I didn’t know you have siblings.”

“I only have her. My father was big on sleeping around the pack and one day her mother demanded he help take care of her. He paid the bills but she stayed with her mother.” I could tell Silas tried to be factual about this information, but his tone still showed his emotions on it.

“How old is she?” I dared ask.

“She just turned eighteen. Her mother is a piece of work, so knowing she has her own home helps me sleep better at night.”

“I bet,” I agreed, not able to even imagine how Silas was managing everything.
