But we'll woo her back if she shuns us
Me
If you were anyone else, I'd fuck you up for threatening to woo my mate
Jude
It was a promise, not a threat ;P
Did you get the birth control shot yet? Hollis says he can pick that up too if you need it
Me
I grabbed it a few days ago
Stabbed myself with it when we got back from lunch, so we should be fine
Neither of us has any baby plans on the horizon
Jude
Thank fuck
I'm not ready to be an uncle
Me
Gotta go
Jude
I'll text you when we have the food
Me
Thanks
Carmen was still scrolling through the streaming platform.
Decisions became harder for women to make during their heat cycles. That was something they told us in the mating prep classes.
I gently took the remote from Carmen. The noise of complaint she gave me was barely a noise at all. She was exhausted.
"Mind if I choose?" I asked.
"That's fine."
I flipped to a romantic hockey TV show she'd mentioned liking a few times, and turned that on. Comfort was what she needed while her hormones were going to hell.
By the time Jude texted about our food, the couple on the screen was already hooking up.
Graphically.
Yeah. It was hot. No way around that.
Jude texted four times before I finally looked down at my phone, and muttered a curse.
Carmen made a noise of complaint when me and my very stiff erection walked away.
