Knight Life In Vegas (Sin City Omegas #3)

Chapter 41

H eats were a young alpha’s game. I drew on my reserves to give Charlotte what she needed, but god help me, she required more than I could provide. Thankfully, I wasn’t alone. Working with a pack to care for my omega was…illuminating. The ease with which we navigated one another, stepping in to meet Charlotte’s needs and let others rest, was unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

With Emily, it had just been the two of us. I’d loved and treasured her as best as I was able in the time we had together, and I’d wondered many times if the pain would have been any less if I’d had a pack to lean on when I lost her. I couldn’t know the answer to that, but what I did know was that the joy of being in a pack was exponential.

These men loved Charlotte. It didn’t matter that it was new, that we still had thousands of things to learn about one another; they loved her anyway. She loved us too. Even with the whispers of fear that echoed through her despite the heat muting everything else. Her hope tangled with that fear, but now that we were all in the bond, it couldn’t be hidden.

She woke from a brief nap and climbed onto my lap. My body awakened instantly. With a soft sigh, she sank down on my cock, riding me slowly.

“So ravenous.” I smiled up at her, tracing the curves of her hips. “Four alphas and still unsatisfied.”

Dylan stretched next to me, looking at her through barely parted lashes. “She’s running us into the ground.”

“I have twenty years to make up for.” Her lips curved at the corners and she looked down at me with clear eyes.

“There you are, pet.” I cupped her cheek and she nuzzled hard against it, nipping the bondbite she’d put on my hand and making my hips buck up into her.

She moved lazily above me, like she was in no hurry to reach her peak and simply wanted to enjoy the connection. Her hair was an absolute rumpled mess and remnants of her makeup lingered beneath her bottom lashes, but she was still so impossibly beautiful it made my heart ache.

Dylan’s amusement flickered through the bond. “Want a little more company, princess?”

“Yes. You don’t smell nearly enough like me.”

It had been a steady stream of us trading off, each alpha showering before collapsing face-first into the nest. Charlotte had been less cooperative with bathing. Her skin was coated in our scents and I couldn’t get enough.

She bent over me and dragged me closer for a kiss that all but drowned me in affection. I was still getting used to the bond. It had been overwhelming enough when it was just the two of us in there, but with the addition of each of the others since her heat had begun, I was barely treading water. She was the only thing keeping me afloat.

I savored every sweep of her lips and shuddered as Dylan worked his way back into her ass. Spikes of lust lanced through me from both of them and I braced her hips, fucking up into her slick heat while Dylan set his pace to match me.

“Oh god.” Charlotte rested her forehead against me, panting. Her heat rose up with a vengeance and pulled her back under, leaving her body as a vessel for pleasure while her mind settled peacefully into the darkness.

Eduardo woke, and with him came a swell of feral energy through the bond. I wasn’t entirely certain why Dylan had more control than he did, but maybe Dylan was used to having less control in the day to day, so perhaps it felt no different to him. Eduardo was by far the more restrained of the pair and fell sway to his instincts much easier now that Charlotte had unlocked them.

The three of us took care of our omega together while Francisco slept, albeit fitfully and with his cock at full attention.

Every rise we took her through crashed over me and stole my breath. The bond was fresh for all of us and I could only imagine how potent it was for the others when mine had already had some time to calm down. Charlotte had flooded into every molecule of my being; her pleasure became mine, and ours in turn became hers in a seemingly endless cycle.

I threaded my fingers into her hair and brought her lips back to mine, letting her consume my desperate sounds as her pussy squeezed tight on my expanding knot. My cock emptied into her and she whimpered softly against my mouth.

After two decades of loneliness, I was finally letting myself surrender to her light. That was what she was: a torch in the darkness, leading me back to life.

When the heat was over, I would tell her. New York felt less like home every day I spent with Charlotte. It would never feel like home again without her.

One thought jolted through my blissful haze. I hadn’t told my team I was on heat leave.

Fuck.

I didn’t even know what day it was. I had probably missed another meeting with Alve Sato and demolished any potential for a business relationship there.

Charlotte shifted, blitzing my worries right out of my head.

Later.

If the damage was already done, there was no point in worrying since I couldn’t do anything while buried in my omega. In lieu of panicking over the potential crumbling of my career, I chose to devour Charlotte’s perfect mouth.

Dylan draped over her, kissing a trail over her shoulder. “I’m a little bummed she might never have a heat with us again. I haven’t felt this good in my whole fucking life.”

“All the more reason to treasure this experience,” I pointed out.

“Oh, trust me,” Dylan said with a laugh, “I’m treasuring.”

Eduardo stole her mouth from me and wedged his fingers between us, coaxing our girl to another peak that had both Dylan and me huffing and puffing from her body squeezing us so hard. The pressure on my knot set me off again and I pulled her hips down while pressing up into her.

It was truly unfair how incredible she felt.

I needed her. More than I had ever realized. I’d gotten so used to driving myself forward each day toward accomplishments so I didn’t have to sit with my feelings. But I was tired. Charlotte had led me to the light, and now that I could immerse myself in our omega, the years were catching up with me.

All four of them were dragging me out of that cave, or perhaps they were merely stopping me from crawling back into it. The darkness wouldn’t be the same anymore anyway, not with them glowing like stars, and Charlotte shining through it like auroras dancing in the night.

“Come on back, Rain-Beau.” Dylan patted my cheek until his face came into focus. “There we go. Where did your brain wander off to? I felt you slip away.”

“Just processing.”

“I don’t know how you can do that when you’re balls-deep in our girl, but kudos, I guess.”

I chuckled, letting his playful warmth fill me alongside our omega.

Eduardo kept Charlotte trapped on our knots for what felt like hours. By the time mine finally deflated and she was able to slide off me, I was so sensitive I could hardly breathe.

The shower washed away the layers of sweat, and I stood under the hot spray until I felt like I could take a step without my knees buckling.

Dylan joined me, parking his ass on the shower bench. “Doing okay?”

“For the most part, yes.”

“How long has it been since you ate?”

I shrugged.

“Go get some food. We still have a few of Eduardo’s meals in the fridge.”

“I suppose I should.” At the mention of food, my stomach growled obnoxiously.

“Definitely,” Dylan laughed. “Get on that and quit hogging the shower.”

“I’m hardly hogging it. There’s room for five in here.”

“I don’t wanna crowd you. You’re not used to being butt naked with other people.”

“It’s fine,” I promised. “I have to get used to it sooner or later.”

Dylan’s green eyes twinkled. “Does that mean you’re planning on sticking around?”

“I have to organize a few things, but yes.”

“Hot damn!” He clapped me on the shoulder with a grin. “I knew she’d hook you.”

“I knew it too,” I confessed.

“Think she’ll be mad about the other bonds?” he asked.

“She didn’t feel mad about it when she was lucid for that brief time. She had to have felt you and Eduardo in there.”

Dylan chewed his lip. “I guess that’s true.”

I stepped out of the water and wrapped a towel around my waist. “All yours. Do you want me to warm you up some food too?”

“I was going to goblin-eat it cold with my hands, but warmed up sounds good.”

I laughed to myself as I vacated the en suite and disappeared into the kitchen. Everyone could probably use something to eat, but getting an omega in heat to consume anything that wasn’t a cock was a task in itself.

I inhaled one of the meals myself while a second one warmed for Dylan. We didn’t have any electrolyte solutions, so I squeezed a few juice boxes into a water bottle and added a sprinkle of sea salt to make my own version.

When I returned to the nest, Charlotte was pinned and knotted beneath Eduardo, purring happily and barely visible amid all of the blankets. Francisco still managed to sleep through it all.

“Come on, pet.” I reached for Charlotte. “We need to get a few calories into you.”

Eduardo was entirely uncooperative, but I eventually managed to get him to flip over so Charlotte was on top. I pushed against the urge to bury myself back into her willing body. Instead, I let her weight rest against me, cradling her throat while I held the bottle and straw to her lips, feeling every swallow.

“Good girl,” I whispered in her ear. “Drink all of it.”

She was so beautifully obedient in bed. I didn’t blame her one bit for wanting to let go when she felt safe. Raising children meant she was faced with a thousand decisions a day, and that was exhausting even at the best of times. Now she had no decisions to make. Our omega only had to do as we said and she thrived on it.

Eduardo blinked rapidly, drawing my attention, his eyes clear for the first time since he had claimed her right back when she bit him.

“You’re alive,” Dylan joked, walking in with his half-eaten food.

Eduardo groaned. “I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.”

“A truck named Charlotte.” Dylan grinned and offered his packmate a bite of food. Eduardo chewed thoughtfully and Dylan passed a piece of chicken to Charlotte, but she turned away from it.

“Be good, pet,” I crooned in her ear. “You’ll feel better if you eat a little something.”

She pouted.

Dylan rose up, moving until his cock was in front of her face. “If you’re not going to eat food, I have something else you can put in your mouth.”

Her lips parted, ready to receive him, but instead of his tip, he brought his hand down quickly and popped the chicken on her tongue.

I closed my hand over her mouth. “Chew and swallow.”

She grumbled but followed the command.

“That’s our good girl.”

We didn’t manage to get too much more into her before her heat-hazed omega brain caught on that we were tricking her. Some was better than none, though.

I held her close and managed to ignore her pleas for me to fuck her. She would turn me into a two-pump chump if I got back inside her right now, and we all needed more rest than we were getting.

“You should sleep.” I nuzzled her cheek.

“Knot.”

Eduardo let out a laugh. “You’re literally on my knot right now.”

“ More knot,” she demanded.

Francisco stirred, blinking his dark eyes up at her. “That could be arranged.”

And that was the beauty of a pack. Charlotte never had to go without, and I never had to worry that I wasn’t enough for her.
