Consider The Lilies (Broken Omegas #5)

Noon

Bear

M y stomach growls as I make my way to the dining room. I normally grab something quick for lunch in the kitchens, but I want to see Stefan. Stanley texted me at dawn that he was going to watch over the omega this morning, but it’s almost noon, and if the pair doesn’t come out of hiding soon, I might have to go looking for them.

“Good afternoon, Bear.” Lucy smiles when I enter the dining room.

I give the beta a quick nod then take my seat. I’m shocked she’s here. She should be with Stefan…wherever he is.

“What would you like to drink?” Lucy asks. “Coffee, tea, or water?”

“Water.” I stare at her as she slips through the archway, disappearing into the kitchen. I can’t help but think about last night—Lucy’s tight little body snuggled deep between Yuki’s thighs. Her long red hair shimmered, cascading down her back, while Yuki rolled her hips, moaning loudly.

It was unbelievably sexy.

I shift when Lucy returns, quickly adjusting my hard cock. I’ve been hard for days. My need for release is growing with each fucking second, making me restless.

Lucy moves around the table, bringing me my drink. Her uniform does nothing for her lovely figure. It hangs off her shoulders like a sack, and her tight braid hides the way her crimson waves catch the light.

She’s so fucking sexy.

“Lucy!” Stefan gasps, clearly excited to see the beta. “I’m so happy you didn’t get reassigned.” His oversized black shirt hangs low, showing only the hem of his gray shorts. He needs proper clothes.

“Reassigned?” Lucy tilts her head to one side.

“Coffee.” Stanley struts into the room wearing one of his usual dark suits. It’s navy blue today with a matching tie and a pale pink dress shirt. His dark brown hair is styled to perfection, parted and combed back.

I watch as Lucy scurries into the kitchens, before turning my attention to Stefan. “How did you—” My words catch in my throat at the sight before me. Stefan looks especially tired this morning. The dark circles under his eyes tell me he didn’t sleep at all, but it’s the bright red bite mark beneath his left ear that holds all of my attention. It’s bruised with deep puncture marks from Stanley’s fangs.

“Jack?” I look at my pack alpha, struggling to process what I’m seeing. “Did you mate him?” I ask, praying it’s not a hallucination.

“I did,” Stanley says so casually as he reads something on his cell phone.

Stefan ducks his head and his cheeks blush a deep crimson color. I have so many questions for my alpha—How well did Stefan take your knot? Did he cry when you bit him? Did he pour slick? Did he beg for more?

But I refuse to ask such crass things in front of Stefan.

“Let me know if there’s anything else you need.” Lucy sets a plate of steak and eggs in front of Stefan. The omega’s expression goes flat, and his shoulders fall.

“Eat,” Stanley commands, and Stefan picks up his fork. But he doesn’t dig into his food. He just stares at his plate.

Stanley notices his flat demeanor and shifts in his chair to better see the omega’s face. “What’s wrong?” he asks. “Are you in pain?”

“No.” Stefan shakes his head.

“Talk to me,” Stanley commands the omega in a gentle whisper. I had no idea he was capable of speaking in such a tender voice. It’s almost shocking.

I love it.

“It’s just,” Stefan sighs, “these eggs are kind of weird.” He pokes the yoke with his fork, making the orange center jiggle slightly. “The middle is still wet.” He frowns.

“Sir?” Lucy looks at Stanley. The beta clearly wants to fix it.

“Make his eggs however he wants,” Stanley says. “But he needs eggs. They’re good for him.”

A wash of relief relaxes Lucy’s smile, and she nods.

“Bear.” Stanley pushes his phone into his pocket and stands. “A word.”

I look once more at Stefan, admiring his beautiful face before forcing myself to follow Stanley. We walk past the storage closet in the hallway, and some of my excitement falls. We sometimes fool around in there, and right now I’m begging for release. I haven’t come in several days, and it’s fucking killing me.

“Rossi is coming by,” I tell Stanley as I follow him down the hall and into a nearby room. I’m not sure what its purpose was when this place was built, but we use it to store old computers and hard drives. Stanley is paranoid about trashing anything with our data on it. “The bay area is?—”

Stanley swings the door shut then slams my body into the nearest wall. I grunt from the force then moan when he crushes our mouths together. I hum at the taste of him—rich and masculine—as he channels his fingers through my hair.

“Stefan mewled for me.” Stanley’s hands drop to my belt, and my heart begins to race. He knows exactly what I need. “He whimpered and moaned as I shoved my knot deep inside him.” He pulls my cock free, gripping my shaft in his mighty fist.

“Fuck!” My eyes roll into the back of my head when he squeezes the tip. I’m so fucking sensitive. I had no idea orgasm denial could make me feel this way. And while I never want to do it again, I can’t help but love how electric I feel right now in my alpha’s hands.

“I wish you could have seen him, Bear,” Stanley growls low in his chest as he slowly jerks me. “He was so soft and sweet, letting me claim his virgin ass.”

Heat skates across my skin, and I grab my alpha’s upper arms. His biceps flex under my fingers when he squeezes my cock harder. Faster.

“He sucked my cock.” Stanley presses his forehead to mine. “His little tongue was clumsy but so eager to please.” He reaches into my pants with his other hand, cupping my balls as he continues to pump me. “Do you want to suck him off?” An evil chuckle pushes from his chest.

“Don’t tease me,” I pant, struggling to think straight.

“I bet you’d love to fall to your knees and lick every drop of cum and slick that pours from his eager little body. Wouldn’t you?”

The familiar tingle in my spine grows, and my balls draw up. “Don’t stop,” I beg, curling my fingers into his strong arms. I hope I bruise him.

“Come for me, Bear.” Stanley’s mouth hovers over mine. His breath is so warm. “Give me all that pearly alpha cum.”

His gravelly voice sends me over the edge, and my cock begins to pulse. Sticky strings of white burst from the tip, coating his hands and down the front of my pants. For a second, my vision goes white and I suck in ragged breaths of air, completely wrecked.

“That’s a good alpha.” Stanley chuckles deep in his chest, squeezing me root to tip. “You came so good for me.”

I’m not into the Dom/sub games he and Yuki play, but I do love his gentle praise in moments like this. There’s something about the balance between his commanding nature and sweet compliments that feels right.

“Tell me everything,” I beg, still reeling in the glow of my release, but I’m desperate to know more. “Was he good for you?”

Stanley smiles, and I instantly know Stefan was perfect. “Very good,” my pack alpha says softly. “Stefan is a very good omega, and, one day soon, I think he’ll be very good for you, too.”

Warmth spreads across my chest, followed by hope. “So we’re keeping him?” I need to hear Stanley say it out loud.

He shoves my cock back into my pants, wiping his hands on my briefs. He loves it when he makes a mess of me or Yuki, forcing us to walk around with a reminder of him all over us.

“I have to talk to Yuki first,” Stanley says. “She’s been a little weird about Stefan. The she-alpha is so hard to read sometimes.”

Shock hits me, followed by sharp frustration. “You haven’t talked to her yet?” I ask, struggling to keep my attitude in check. “She doesn’t know you were going to mark him?”

“It wasn’t a planned decision,” Stanley says with a pointed look.

Images of last night slam into me: Yuki and Lucy completely naked and wrapped around one another. Yuki’s desire to keep her beta and my hope to keep our omega. The five of us would be such a wonderful pack.

“I think she’ll be okay,” I finally say, truly believing that. After all, Yuki would love Stefan if she’d just give him a chance.

Stanley frowns, clearly confused. “What on earth makes you think that?” he asks. “Last I checked, Yuki was worried Stefan’s mere presence was going to destroy everything we built.”

I shrug, but I can tell Stanley knows something is off. This is why I don’t like to say too much. You don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing if you keep your mouth shut.

When I don’t answer, Stanley’s dark eyes narrow at me. “What aren’t you telling me?”

I pull in a deep breath then jump into my prepared speech. “The other day with Romner.” I glance at the door, making sure no one is walking in the hallway. “Things fell apart so quickly, and right in front of Stefan.”

Stanley’s expression doesn’t change; he stares at me as if trying to figure out what the fuck I’m trying to say. “What does this have to do with Yuki suddenly accepting the omega?”

I drop my voice to a whisper then jump into it. “I think Yuki was impressed by the way Stef handled himself.” Stanley nods as if understanding that. “The way he tried to shield Lucy during the fight was very unexpected. While it’s clear Stefan has a bond with the beta and wanted to protect her. I think Yuki saw his actions as selfless. Even admirable.”

Stanley lets out a single chuckle. “I think Stefan has a crush on Lucy.”

My brows shoot up. “On Lucy?” I’m not really surprised when Stanley nods. After all, Lucy is gorgeous, but it’s a little bizarre that my pack alpha would notice something like a crush. Stan is a commanding leader and a vicious businessman, but—just like Yuki—noticing little things like this isn’t his strong suit.

“I told Stefan I needed to reassign Lucy.” Stanley tugs on his belt, making sure the buckle is dead center. “He wasn't pleased.”

I nod, pretending to listen, but, in reality, I’m waiting for my turn to speak.

“Stefan actually snapped at me that he wanted to keep the beta.” Stanley snorts at the memory. “I almost had to put him in his place for speaking to me like that.”

“Omegas bond very quickly with their betas,” I say.

“ Their betas ?” Stanley’s brows rise at my choice of words. “Is Lucy his beta?”

“Isn’t she?” I ask. “They spend a lot of time together, and he protected her with his life against several dangerous alphas. Omegas aren’t known for their self-sacrificing nature.” I keep my tone light as if this is all just something I’ve noticed. “The fact that Stefan was willing to put himself in harm's way for her is pretty significant.” I place my hand on the side of Stan’s neck, looking deep into his eyes. “I know you don’t like us mixing with the staff, but it might be too late. If Stefan has feelings for the beta, we won’t be able to separate them without destroying the omega.”

Stanley’s mouth pulls into a tight line as he thinks that over. “Yuki mentioned that adding Stefan to our pack would mean having to add a beta as well.” He scratches under his chin. “I don’t know how Yuki would feel about adding Lucy to our pack. Hell, she might not even like the beta.” He crosses his arms, and it takes everything in me not to smile. “She’s struggled with Stefan’s presence. I refuse to force add someone else to our pack without her approval.”

Warm love blooms in my chest for my pack alpha. While he is shit at expressing himself, it’s moments like these that remind me how much he cares for us. Hell, any other pack alpha would have disposed of Stefan at the Morder just to maintain order. But Jack loves me and Yuki too much to hurt either one of us like that.

The outside world might not see it, but he’s a good man.

“Do you want me to talk to Yuki?” I offer, wanting to ease some of his worry.

“No.” Stanley lets out a heavy sigh. “I’ll do it. Then I guess I’ll have to talk to Lucy. For all I know, she doesn’t even like the rest of us. It’ll complicate things if she only likes Stefan, but it’s better to know these things up front.”

I understand what he’s saying. While a sexual relationship isn’t required to be a part of a pack, it helps strengthen the bond. And I pray Lucy wants that. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the beta’s tight little ass lifted into the air while she was face down in Yuki’s pussy. I’d love nothing more than to bury my cock deep inside her the next time she eats Yuki out, but there’s a real possibility that Lucy doesn’t want me or Stanley.

Fuck, I hope that’s not the case.

“What time is Rossi getting here?” Stanley asks as he moves to the door.

“He’ll be here this evening.” I adjust my pants, making sure my shirt is tucked in and my fly is up.

“Stefan asked if he could hug you and hold your hand.” Stanley pulls the door open, and I hold my breath, waiting for him to finish. “I gave him permission.”

My heart soars.

“I need you in the warehouse today.” Stanley pauses in the doorway. “Lucy can keep an eye on Stefan until you’re done.”

I nod, disappointed I can’t be with the omega right this second. Especially now that I get to touch him.

“And, Bear?” Stanley’s voice drops to a dangerous growl. “Once you meet up with Stefan, don’t lose control.” His dark eyes narrow. “Because this is a test.”
