“Jenika actually loves kids. I heard her once say she wanted heaps of them,” Owen announced, a shit-eating grin on his face.
Oh God!
“Really,” Raziel said, eyeing his mate. “Well, that certainly won’t be a problem. We felines have litters.”
Jenika choked. “Maybe that would help if I ever planned on letting you touch me.”
“I’m sure she would prefer not to have so many at once,” Draken added, giving Angelica a sympathetic look. “Vampires only have one child at a time … usually.”
Angelica couldn’t stop herself from covering her face as she snickered. It was like watching an oncoming train collision.
“Vampires have babies?” Jenika looked appalled. “But … what about fangs, and stuff?”
Draken bristled. “We do not develop fangs and stuff until we mature.”
“Oh, well, that’s comforting,” her friend muttered, rolling her eyes. “And sooo not my problem, as again, no touchy touchy for you, fang-boy.” Raziel cackled, and Jenika pinned him with a glare. “What are you laughing at, pussy cat?”
The lion’s laughter died fast, and he hissed. “I’m a lion, not a pussy cat.”
“Lions, panthers, and vamps, oh my!” Jenika snickered. “We need to meet some tigers. Oh wait, are there bears? That would be so cool.”
Angelica threw her head back and laughed as all the men in the room began to glower at her best friend. She could see arguments starting, perhaps even a few brawls among the men, but she honestly wouldn’t have changed a thing in that moment. Happy and content, loved and safe, Angelica had everything she had ever wanted. Nothing may have been what she had originally planned for herself, and they would have days when she would question her sanity and her decisions. But that was okay. Looking at her family and friends all gathered in the room together, she knew one thing was for sure … things were certainly going to be different now since she had been claimed by her panthers.
