Monroe woke up first a few hours later, his face went red as he could still feel him inside of him, his knott had deflated but he was still in there, he couldn’t believe what he had done. Yet at the same time he didn’t think he could feel happier than he did now. He looked over his shoulder at his mate who softly snored and wondered how he could be so perfect, and how he could be so lucky to have met him. He also wondered suddenly if the medication they had given him in jail had also been a form of birth control. If not there was a 95% Chance he was going to be pregnant if not already but by the end of the week. Part of him didn’t care, it would be Ryan’s puppies he’d be having, another part of him also didn’t care because it wanted to have babies, a small part of him wondered if he was ready for it, ready to be a mother to his mate’s children. The other two parts of him seemed to squash that little voice and he snuggled back into his mate.

“How do you feel?” Ryan asked him, having woken up. He gently caressed his mark on his neck causing him to shudder with pleasure.

“Really happy.” He told him honestly.

“That’s good, I was worried you’d be upset that we became mates.” He said, kissing the mark. 

“No, I had two months to think about it, and this was what I really wanted. Laying alone in the bed I realized just how miserable and lonely I was.” He told him honestly. “It’s funny that six months ago I thought of you as just an annoying rival and now? Now I feel I couldn’t live without you by my side.” He knew what he was saying sounded sappy but it was true, it had been hard without him.

“I was annoying?” He asked. He was enjoying hearing his confession but he thought to tease him.

“In my mind yes, cause I didn’t know anything about you, then I found out you were a dog and that bothered me in the beginning because of my past, but you are nothing like him. You let me take charge our first time and that meant a lot.”

“I’ve wanted you for years, I knew about it only because of your brother. I knew I had to let you come to me.” He told him as he put his arms protectively around him and took in his scent, the scent that now belonged to him and him alone.

“I’m thankful for you Ry, but did you put on more muscle?” He asked as he squeezed his bicep, It seemed his arms had gotten bigger and he loved his strong arms and how they held him tightly and how he felt like the perfect puzzle piece in them.

“Maybe, I spent more time working out than normal, I also know you’re not going to complain, after all you like them.” He said, flexing a little. Monroe smiled and then playfully bit his arm. “Hey, ow, what are you doing?” He asked, though it really didn’t hurt.

“Marking my territory starting with these guns here.” He teased him. He playfully bit him again, he was feeling ready for another round. He ground up against him as he did and he felt his dick starting to get hard once again inside of him. 

“Ahh I see, well maybe I need to mark my territory some more.” He told him as he playfully bit the tip of his ear. He moaned softly as he did.

They spent the next few days mostly in bed having sex, both of them ignored thier phones which got Monroe into trouble with his mother. He didn’t want to tell her he had bonded with Ryan, she was a firm believer that one should be married before they bond. He did tell her that he had been taking a mini vacation with him and he was distracted by being pampered. They planned on actually going away south somewhere tropical for a week where they could be tourists and relax since he was out of jail. He was glad that his mother had thought of calling Gin who did tell her that he was with Ryan so the Cops weren't called and they didn’t show up. That would have been awkward for them both. He’d listened to his mother go on and on about it, making sure to take his medication, keeping his collar on, and using protection, because as much as she wanted to be a grandmother there were steps that came first. In the last few days he had done none of that and honestly he didn’t care, he was happy, even though he had been marked up by his mate. 

Ryan was looking up places to go as Monroe took a shower, they were leaving the hotel in an hour, he had listened to his future mother in law scolded his mate for an hour and he had felt really guilty after that he had done the complete opposite. But when he told him it was fine and it was his choice, and reminded him it was always going to be his choice he felt a little better. They decided to keep it a secret from his family and that annoyingly meant that he was going to wear his collar still, but he knew his mark was there, he knew Monroe was his and that made him happy. 

“What do you think about going to Hawaii?” he asked aloud.

“Nice but too long of a flight.”

“But that would give us plenty of time to join the mile high club.” He teased him.

“Unless we’re getting a private jet, no not happening. What about the Bahamas? Then we can stop at Disney afterwards!” He said excitedly.

“You want to just go to Disney?”

“I want to go there. I've never been to either park.” He admitted. 

“Alright how about we go to Disney World, and Universal Studios spend two weeks down there doing what we want then we can plan from there.”

“Yes! Do it! Make it like our surprise Honeymoon!” He said coming out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel, his hair dripping wet. 

Ryan grinned at his handiwork all the bite marks that covered his naked body. “You should blowdry your hair, I don’t want you getting sick.” He told him as he pulled on a pair of shorts. There was even a nice little bite mark on his right cheek and the paw print looked as if it was tattooed rather than simply there. His tail wagged happily as he watched him knowing that was his and it was well marked.

“Mmmn I wanted to put on some clothes, we have to check out in a half hour.” He told him, pulling on his pants. He kept his back to him so he couldn’t see his blushing as he saw all of the marks he had left on his chest and thighs and who knew where else that he couldn’t see. His mate was clearly possessive and he liked it. He heard him get off the bed and walk over and a moment later he was being ushered back into the bathroom. Here Ryan gently dried his hair with the hairdryer being careful of his ears that now in the light of the bathroom he could see also had bite marks. “Look how possessive my mate is, you’d think I was his personal chew toy or something.” He pointed out all the marks.

“Oh? If I recall, several of these made you come, especially this one here.” He pointed out running a finger over their mate mark, it made him shiver with pleasure. “And do you know how many bitmarks I have? My mate is just as possessive.” He told him as he pulled off his shirt and revealed multiple marks on his arms and shoulders, there were bite marks and hickies that he’d left. “I’m going to have to wear turtlenecks in the heat of Florida.” He said teasingly.

“No you’re not, who said you could cover up my handiwork?” He asked. He never knew how possessive he could get about someone until now. He hated that his mate would only have his mark above his tailbone, a mark that could belong to any rabbit. “It’s no fair all mine will fade away.” He pouted.

“You are more than welcome to make new ones my love.” He told him.

“I will then.” He said defiantly.

Ryan smiled and finished drying his hair, they were all packed except a few items, they were going to his grandparents where he had a bigger storage of clothes, and then they would go to his house and then from there they’d probably got to the airport before his parents or brother’s ran him down. “Can we tell my grandparents?” He asked as they finished packing.

“Yeah not like they’re going to go run to my family and start planning our wedding without us.” 

“Would your mom really do that?”

“Yes, I am 90% sure she already has it planned out and I’m going to wreck it all.” He told him.

“What kind of wedding do you want?”

“Halloween, I want everyone to come to the ceremony all nice and dressed up like usual, but after I want them to come to the party in costume or they go home.” 

“I see, could we wear matching costumes?”

“Of course, I’ll let you pick the costume and you let me pick your suit.”

“I can work with that, would you wear a suit or a dress?” He asked curiously.

“Good question… I’d like to wear a matching suit, it probably shouldn’t be white…” he said gently rubbing the back of his neck. 

“Who cares, wear whatever color you want, not everyone needs to know.” 

“Errr what if we made a puppy?” He asked after a few moments. 

“Well, if we did, we did and I will happily welcome any child of ours, and if you want to wait a few years before our next or for our first I am happy to wait because I have you.” He said as he walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around him. He snuggled back into them.

“This is why I love you.” He admitted. He loved that his mat wasn’t pressuring him or asking him to have lots of pups or even asking him to not work anymore. He was everything that his mother wasn’t.

“I love you too, my Roe.” he told him as he kissed the top of his head. “Unfortunately we should get going, we need to check out in ten minutes.” He said, glancing at the clock. 

Two weeks later they were walking hand in hand down the street of Miami waiting to hear from the other’s. They were supposed to still be on vacation but, because it was a two day thing and it was going to be just light work they had agreed. Ryan’s hand fell to the box in his pocket for the millionth time, he’d still not asked him, every time he’d gotten around to ask him something happened, whether it was his snooping grandparents or Monroe’s mother who had caught them at his house repacking and lectured them together, thankfully he’d worn his collar and showed his mother it was locked the whole time they were together. She didn’t know he’d picked him up two days earlier so she paid no attention to the fact that it was unlocked and on the floor of the hotel room till he’d locked it and put it in his suitcase. He didn’t fall to her pressure when she mentioned if he was serious that he should ask him, no that only put him into a bad mood. Then they had been having so much fun he’d forgotten about it until night time, or sometimes the next morning. He was hoping that there was a way that he could ask him today. The Bank they were working at had such a pretty fountain in front of it, if they needed a distraction he could make something up. 

“It’s such a nice night.” Monroe said, leaning against him. He’d become more comfortable around him, more lovey and more vocal about his love towards him. Most of the time it was just while they were alone or like now when they just wanted to be. 

“It is a nice night, the weather down here is nice, maybe we should get a house down here?”

“No Way Florida is crazy, we should get a place in Cali or Arizona if we want warm weather, and you have an apartment in Cali so it’d just be easier to have a second house there, Oh! We can those magic Key passes for DisneyLand and go when ever we like.” He said excitedly.

“You are such a kid.” He teased as he rubbed his head affectionately.

“I never went with the three of us and one of us being an Omega my parents didn’t want to risk taking us places like this.” He told him. 

“I’m sorry, we won’t ever do that to our kids no matter what they are.” He promised. Monroe smiled and leaned up and kissed him.

“You just know all the right things to say.”

“Sorry to interrupt, but do you think you can do something in front of the doorway for a minute?” Vinny asked. “We need two minutes and I can see the Cops making their way towards the front door.”

“Oh, well I have something.” Ryan said, he took Monroe’s hand and led him to the front door. “This is one hundred percent honest.” He told him as he moved in front of the door before the Cops got there. “Monroe James Quinn, Ever since I first met you I have been in love with you, I have been chasing you for 8 years and finally you’ve agreed to date me, I love you and I want to continue being with you.” He told him as he got to one knee, people stopped to watch them and Monroe was going brilliant red, he looked like he wanted to bolt but at the same time he wouldn’t leave he knew what he was doing. “So will you Marry me?” He asked, pulling out a box and showing him the ring he’d purchased months ago. It was a very simple ring made of a dark wood with a square diamond in the center, it was pretty and simple and he loved it.
