“What’s that on your neck?”Teddy asked the next morning.
Nat and Duke froze. Nat touched the still-tingling bite that Duke had left last night, his face growing warm.
Hubrie flung himself into the kitchen. “When your Papa loves another man very much...”
Duke planted his hand across Hubrie’s face, and shoved him out of sight.
“Duke!” Nat yelped. “Not in front of the children!”
The demon bared his teeth. “Hubrie needs to learn his place.”
“Like I said, not in front of the children!” Nat frowned at Duke.
Hubrie bounced back into sight cheerfully. “I’m not hurt! But don’t do this to just anyone, kids. Not everyone is an amazing butler like I am.”
Duke looked slightly remorseful. “Fine. I shouldn’t have done that, Hubrie.”
Nat beamed. “Thatis a good example, Papa.”
Duke’s gaze snapped onto him so fast, Nat blushed.
“Why are you calling him Papa?” Mallie asked, baffled.
“Because he’s your Papa,” Nat said, fighting not to rub his belly.
But the biggest reason was that Duke would become the father ofNat’schild soon, and... The name had gotten stuck in Nat’s head.
“I was also wondering if you would like to be Wanda’s Papa,” Nat mumbled, looking at the floor.
Duke’s eyes widened. “Are you sure?”
Nat nodded.
Duke growled. He prowled closer and cupped Wanda’s head gently with his large hand. Then he dropped a tender kiss on her hair, and kissed Nat fiercely. “I would love to be Wanda’s Papa.”
Nat’s heart leaped. “It’s what I want.”
Duke kissed him again. “Thank you.”
“New sister,” Mallie said, leaping up to hug Wanda. “You’re not the youngest anymore, Teddy.”
“That’s okay.” Teddy ran up to hug Wanda too. “I want to be a big brother!”
Nat exchanged a look with Duke, and smiled.

AN UNUSUAL BIRTH
“I reada weird book the other day,” Nat said, rubbing his swollen belly.
Duke looked up from rubbing Nat’s belly too. “Yeah? What kind of book was it?”
“It was about a man who got knocked up by a weird baker.” Nat shuddered and made a face. “His body was mostly flesh, but his cock was made ofdough.Do you know how he made himself hard?”
Warily, Duke asked, “How?”
“He put it into an oven and baked it!” Nat cried. “That’s how his dough cock got hard! And—You haven’t heard the weirdest part yet. His cum isfrosting.”
