306 Are You Willing To Have A Child With Me?
“Oh, you stupid, stupid Lulu.”
Lucien’s eyes were as round as the moon.
“How dare you call me stupid, you... mmmpphhh!!!”
Ronan pulled Lucien for another kiss and pinned him against the coach.
“Mmm!!! Mmm!!!”
Ronan ignored Lucien’s protests and continued sucking on the latter’s lips, prying his mouth open and invading the inner part.
When Ronan’s kiss moved downward to Lucien’s neck and collarbone, Lucien’s protests already turned into stifled moans.
“You lecherous Alpha,” he scolded Ronan once he remembered what they were arguing about just then. “You are the stupid one, not me.”
Ronan laughed. He pulled Lucien to sit on his lap with one swift movement.
.....
“Fine, I am the stupid one,” Ronan agreed.
“You are also selfish,” Lucien added.
“I am, I am. The most selfish one.”
“And arrogant as hell.”
“I am anything you say I am,” Ronan threw his mate a dreamy gaze. “My Lulu knows me best.”
Lucien wrinkled his nose at Ronan’s icing-glazed words.
“Ronan, I am serious,” he said. “If you die, I will arrange for your funeral and then jump into the Eternal Sleep Lake.”
“... That is a crude way of killing yourself.”
“Fast and clean,” Lucien disagreed. “At least then my family doesn’t have to take care of my deformed corpse.”
Ronan raised his eyebrow at Lucien.
“You have a family who will miss you so much. Don’t you feel reluctant to leave them behind?”
Lucien shook his head.
“I have done a lot for them. Dad is back at the Silent Walkers Pack. He, Mom, and Anna are all living happily together. Anna has become the Alpha of the pack. She is in love with Lowell and will marry him anytime soon.
See, Ronan? My heavy burden has been taken off my shoulder. I am free to leave anytime I wish to.”
Ronan sighed. He pressed his forehead against Lucien’s. Why was Lucien talking as if he was ready to die anytime?
Ronan did not like it one bit.
Even if his family was going to survive after Lucien’s demise, it didn’t mean that they didn’t need Lucien.
The living would always miss the dead.
It was not the same with Ronan.
Back then, Ronan believed that his mother was gone. He had an estranged relationship with his father. Naturally, no one would suffer from his early death. Especially not his father who had maybe ten illegitimate children out there.
Besides, if Lucien truly died, Annalynne would probably wreak havoc in the werewolf society.
He never told Lucien, but his twin sister had a serious brother complex at an advanced stage.
Lucien should think about that, at least...
“But then in your letter, you told me to raise your children. Damn it, Ronan. How dare you give me a reason to live after your passing?”
“...”
That had to be the most ridiculous thing that Lucien ever said, or at least one of the prominent ones. He knew it too.
Ronan grinned.
So that was it.
“So you are mad because you can’t follow me into death?”
Lucien narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him. He squished Ronan’s face between his hands out of spite.
“Technically, I can send over my sperm and commit suicide. But then who will raise the child?”
Lucien pinched Ronan’s cheeks and glared at him.
“Who is going to tell the child about the stupid, stupid father who left me all alone to raise the child?”
“...”
“Hmmm??”
Ronan grinned. He bit into a stiff peak on Lucien’s chest and drew a pained cry from the latter.
“Stop that!” he smacked Ronan’s shoulder.
Ronan hugged Lucien’s slender waist and rubbed his face at Lucien’s chest.
“My cute baby,” he crooned. “My most awesome, most beautiful, most amazing Luna. I love, love you so much.”
Lucien scoffed.
He put his arms around Ronan’s neck and slipped his hands into Ronan’s thick, dark hair.
“You are going to be an amazing father,” Ronan whispered. “I know that. You will pamper our child so much, for my part as well.”
Lucien’s face darkened.
“Are we done talking about what will happen if you die?” he snapped.
“Of course! As you see, I am still alive!”
“Pfft. I can’t believe it!”
Lucien climbed off Ronan’s lap and walked a few steps away.
“You cannot believe what?”
Ronan asked. He went after Lucien and hugged him from behind.
“Hmm?”
Lucien gave him a side-eye.
“I thought that you went to a fertility clinic because you could not get it up anymore.”
“... Excuse me...?”
Lucien squinted.
“We haven’t had sex since we came back from registering our marriage. I thought you developed erectile dysfunction from watching your parents walk into the Moon Goddess Shrine.”
Ronan let out a disgusted sound when he recalled what he witnessed a few days ago.
“That was unbearable to watch, but erectile dysfunction? Me?”
Lucien shrugged.
“You seemed so traumatized. It can happen, you know?”
“Heh.”
Ronan took one of Lucien’s hands and pressed it against the bulge between his legs.
“...”
“What do you think? Hard enough for you?” the Alpha shamelessly asked.
As a response, Lucien squeezed at Ronan’s manhood through his pants.
“Mmf...”
“Don’t be so cocky. I have yet to see how you perform.”
Ronan pulled his lips into a sneer.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yep.”
“Alright, alright. I will give you an amazing performance later.”
“Hmph.”
Ronan kissed the side of Lucien’s neck, his warm breath lingered at his earlobe and made his heart beat faster.
.....
“Lulu?”
“Yes?”
“After everything that happened, I still need to ask you one thing. Are you willing to have a child with me?”
Lucien’s tender eyelashes fluttered in embarrassment. Soft pink color crept up his cheeks and his lips started to quiver.
“...”
“Baby? Please say yes.”
“...”
“Lulu, I want us to have a baby together. Please say yes.”
Lucien was getting dizzy from all the blood that shot up his head. Before he got a nosebleed from mortification, he decided to shut Ronan up with a kiss.
Once they broke the kiss, Lucien looked into Ronan’s eyes and whispered, “Yes.”
