"Oh, how lovely," said my mother as she settled into the hot pools. "Isn't this nice, Quint?" She turned to her husband, who nodded.
"Yes, very nice." My father cleared his throat and looked at Titus.
"I have a swimsuit on," he exclaimed, sitting up to show the blue fabric.
My dad turned to me.
"Really?" I exclaimed. "You have to ask?" Next time, we were not coming early.
Darius stepped into the water with his mate and mother. He appeared rather annoyed. I glanced at Storm.
She rolled his eyes. "He's mad because I made him wear a swimsuit."
Darius narrowed his eyebrows. "How are you supposed to bathe properly with clothes on? It's ridiculous."
Rose patted her son's knee. "We have guests who appreciate your modesty."
My mother laughed lightly. "Very much so."
Darius sank into the water. I guess the pup-pouting was something that ran in the family.
Storm grabbed his chin. "Don't worry, your father won't demote you for wearing a swimsuit."
He grumbled something under his breath before standing and marching off toward the waterfall.
His mate shook her head. "Pride issues."
"He gets it from his father," said Rose.
"Where is Xavier?" my mother asked. "I need to speak with him." She searched the area.
"Pack business today."
"Oh, what a shame," she sighed.
My mom still had that list of 'suggestions' in her purse, which was sitting next to her towel. Titus grabbed my hand and pulled me toward deeper water.
"We'll be over there," I said, kicking off the ground and floating along behind him.
I soon couldn't touch the ground. Titus was struggling to keep the water from lapping up over his chin. He held me above the surface with my legs tucked under his arms.
"I need a hot tub back home." I brushed the water off Titus's forehead before it dripped into his eyes.
"You'll have one next winter."
"Hmm..." I smiled. "It's more like a small lake than a tub."
"We're a big pack. Werewolves would be lining the place if my dad hadn't said it was off-limits while your family was here."
"Great," I sighed. "The pack already thinks I'm a spoiled brat before I'm even a member."
Titus shrugged. "It's common. Every time we have guests, some areas of the cave are made off-limits."
"As long as it's not only me." I placed my forehead against his.
"Don't worry about everyone else."
"It's hard not to. If I end up an omega, they'll outrank me."
He grabbed the back of my neck. "As my mate, you will outrank them. You'll never be considered an omega." Titus kissed me.
I parted my lips and arched into him. Kissing him was always exhilarating. I hoped this feeling never faded. Titus pulled me flush against him and twirled his tongue around mine. His hand ran up my leg as the other brushed my side. I broke off the kiss.
"Shit." I covered my mouth.
Titus smiled. "Should we go back and sit with your parents?"
"Shut up." I pressed my hand against his chest to create some space between us.
