But we could come back to that later after…at the moment we had a different shock to work through.

Chapter 15

Shiloh

I was going to sleep with Daddy?

Sucking harder on my binkie, I watched Daddy and Master.

That was it.

I just watched.

Daddy was really-really-really thinky for seconds and seconds. “I have not forgotten your desire to caretake me into an approved sleep schedule. This seems to be devised to make sure we are both well-rested.”

Oh.

Daddy was smart.

Master needed to take care of us.

“You are highly intelligent.” Master was getting better at dealing with Daddy. “However, I must insist that our Earth mate must not be left on his own when he is in this headspace. As his Daddy, you should have what English calls first dibs on caretaking time when he is little.”

Daddy was quiet then cocked his head. Daddy liked doing Earth moves when he thought. It was like a fun new game that made him feel really smart too. He might’ve liked just being able to wiggle more too.

Daddy liked wiggles.

“You have been clear that we are all equals, so I must insist you stay with us overnight. It would not be equal to remove you from your mate.” Daddy sounded like he forgot he was a mate too but Master didn’t fuss at him. “My proposal is that you will sleep with us in some way as long as you do not have a limit around that activity.”

It was Master’s turn to be quiet and thinky. He didn’t do the head thing but he sent me happies through the bond.

Did he send Daddy happies?

“I do not have a limit that would contradict your proposal.” Master talked to Daddy like they were big business people. “Spending additional time with my mates is something I would enjoy.”

Mates.

Was he reminding Daddy that he was a mate too?

Daddy just went still then did the agreement wiggle he showed me before. He wasn’t a tiny wiggle person. Daddy was a big wiggle person because he had big thoughts and a big personality too. Wren said Daddy was a brat but that was okay because Wren was a brat too.

He was just a happy brat, so people forgot about the brat part.

Daddy was a thinky brat and that was harder to forget.

Oh.

They both looked at me.

Suck.

Suck.

Suck.

I pulled my shirt up so it covered my face.

No more Shiloh.
