Zoinks! Nice Pack, Bro

CHAPTER 21

KENNEDY

Paxton

I don’t understand brunch.

I do understand how it’s nice to drink with breakfast but the meal itself is too late in the day. Even now it’s 10AM and I’ve been up for almost five hours.

Knowing that we were going to eat, I stuck to coffee all morning instead of having a breakfast sandwich or something to make my stomach not groan.

A couple hours at the gym and a couple hours at the work site, trying to figure out what else we can do with the buildings. And an amount of time that I don’t want to think about where I stare at my clothes trying to figure out what the hell one wears to brunch.

I settled on jeans and a white henley with a utility jacket and boots. It didn’t feel like I was trying too hard but the outfit is me trying very hard. I had made sure the henley was clean and not a work one so that Sadie didn’t think I was some slob. I just didn’t care about clothes like Anthony did. But I wanted our omega to know I was trying for her.

Jace had walked down to the gym that Sadie and Ant had headed off to earlier to drop off clothes for them to change into. Cameron was waiting for me in the living room, leaning against the table as he texted looking easy going in his ripped black jeans, black hoodie, and a leather jacket.

He looked at ease and like himself.

Fucker .

“Ready?” He nodded his head, tucking his phone into his jacket as we made our way out to the SUV.

I was going to say something about last night or even this morning to him. About how he had Sadie being so loud that I had to jerk off just to ease the way her voice had made me so hard but I wasn’t going to bring it up. If I brought it up my cock was just going to start aching again.

It was already at risk of getting blisters from how hard I had been working it.

Sadie would get time with all of us, together and separate, and I liked that she was always taken care of. I just liked having her. Especially with her under the same roof as us.

No one had talked about her sleeping in my bed the night she had poured out her life story to me. She had trusted me with that and I was keeping it safe.

Just like I’d keep making sure Sadie is always safe.

Pulling up to the gym to wait for our pack, I see Jace stepping out first. He pauses, holding the door as Anthony and Sadie walk out, hands clasped together.

She looks fucking beautiful in a pair of dark blue jeans, hugging her thick thighs, a black sweater tucked into the front of her jeans, and a pair of black boots with just a little heel. She’s still so tiny compared to us.

She wasn’t all dolled up with a ton of makeup on. Her brown hair in a messy bun that I could tell was still wet from her shower. Natural and gorgeous.

I didn't love that she had wet hair outside during the winter but I did like that she was going to the gym and spending time with Anthony doing something they could bond over.

“Morning, Daddy.” She teases me with a kiss on the cheek, leaning forward between the seats to deliver it. It was giving me a hit of her peachy scent that managed to bleed through her scent blockers as she nuzzled against me.

I grumble in reply. Trying not to get a boner and pin her in the backseat. Instead, letting Jace guide her back down and making sure her seatbelt is on. Sadie kept eye contact in the rearview mirror, driving me insane with just her eyes being on me.

Fucking brunch should be earlier.

She’s holding court in the back seat. Easily chatting about working out that morning. Laughing easily with everyone as they tease Ant about sneaking her out to have time alone with her. Sadie just fit with us. I liked how easy it was, how relaxed they all were as they joked like we had all known each other forever. This was the sort of camaraderie I had always expected to have some day.

Twenty minutes later we’re ordering drinks at brunch. Sadie opting for coffee as we sat around the table together. She’s between Jace and Cameron but, from where I’m sitting, I get a perfect view of her pretty face.

She seems happy today. Not overwhelmed or upset like she had been the other night. I like how happiness looks on her.

“Are you a sweet or savory girl?” Jace asks, as we look through the menu.

I already know I’m ordering the half serving of biscuits and gravy and the full cardiac arrest to go with my Irish coffee. A side of hash too should help fill me. My stomach rumbling as I’m reminded that I am starving.

Brunch should be earlier in the day.

But I watch as Sadie thinks about what kind of girl she is.

“Both,” She shrugs her shoulders. “I have a sweet tooth but I’m also a savory breakfast person. Honestly, I usually just order eggs Benedict in some form.”

That makes sense.

Her anxiety comes out in small ways. The way she swallows, licking her lips, swallows again. She’ll count on her fingers when she starts to get overwhelmed. Her eyes are looking for exits, like she’s planning her escape when something goes bad. How when she gets in the car she always looks behind her so she can make sure she’s safe. The way she chews her sleeve or covers her mouth, oral fixation on things to self soothe.

Having her safety food is logical.

“We can share.” Cameron, who will be ordering pancakes because that is his safe food, offers her.

This comes as a shock because he is so particular about things but when he gets her to smile as she agrees I can see why he did it.

He reads her well.

Probably because he has a lot of similar issues that she has. They understand each other in a way that is easier for them to bond. With anyone else I would be jealous but Cameron, he deserves to have it easy with her. He deserves the smiles she gives him and the way she just stays open for him.

Sadie reaches for her water, taking a sip and swallowing a couple times. She’s nervous again.

“Here, princess,” I have a biscuit already smeared with honey ready for her. Ripping off a piece I hold it over the table, letting her blue eyes meet mine.

Locking in, she leans forward, those pretty pink lips wrapping around my fingers as I feed her a bite.

I wonder if she’d be good with me pushing my cock in her mouth, letting her lay on the couch as I played with her hair. She could warm me up, sucking on me to get her to calm down.

Maybe that can be our bedtime ritual.

Her tongue darts out, sucking a bit of honey from my fingers as she sighs out, eyes less foggy now.

“Good girl,” I praise, pulling my fingers from her mouth to lick the taste of her off of them. She’s sweeter than the damn honey, “Are you going to be able to eat by yourself, Sadie sweetheart?” The way she tilts her head, that hint of a brat coming out as she looks at me in a way that could destroy my life.

And I’d gladly let her.

“Can I sit on your lap and have you feed me, daddy?”

I’m the only one who has a nickname from her. It should be a teasing sort of name but the way it makes blood rush to my cock as she looks at me, calling me her daddy .

Straight to hell.

I push out, patting my leg, wondering if she’ll do it. An eyebrow raises when she goes to stand up but Jace holds out his hand, tearing apart the chemistry that we’re currently feeling between us.

“We need to talk.” I blow out a breath of air at his words because he is absolutely right about that.

Sadie sits back in her chair, hand going to pull her sweater down over her hands. She raises one to her mouth, blocking those lips and making her face harder to read. I see her nip at the material. Her oral fixation is coming out.

But I still stare, seeing the way she squirms. Uncomfortable and unsure of herself.

Cam slips his hand on her thigh, leaning in to whisper something that has her eyes softening as she nods her head. Her eyes cast down on her plate as she avoids eye contact with us.

Her scent is different when her anxiety comes out and I want to soothe her. My instincts scream that soothing my omega is what I need to do. Jace should have let her sit on my lap so I can touch her and make her know she is wanted.

We need to let her know we want her to stay before she gets too scared and retreats too far into herself. I can already see the signs of her worrying about things.

As her alphas, it would be our job to soothe her, set things out for her so she feels safe.

Fuck. I want to soothe her.

“We’ve never done this,” Anthony starts talking first, “You should know that we haven’t ever dated the same omega before. You’d be the first that we courted.”

My heart is beating at the idea of courting Sadie. Spoiling her and loving on her.

My scent is pouring out of me and her eyes snap to look at me as it washed over her.

“You all want me…together?”

That’s the word.

Sadie finds it for us and we all share a look but nod in agreement. That’s what we want to be with her .

Together .

Pack.

“We’re interested in you, Sadie. We all want to be in a relationship with you but there would be moments, like this, or like the other day where we would all be together or some of us would be together.” Jace is trying to be the voice of reason, speaking calm and using his negotiator voice that he would speak with on missions.

He’s always so calm under pressure while we can all sort of blow up and get lost in our heads. He is the force that grounds us.

Reaching out he takes Sadie’s hand in his, kissing the fingers she was hiding her mouth behind. He is trying to get her to understand what we want. What all of this means to us.

“It’s a lot to ask, courting all four of us at once. But it feels like it would be too much to have you just with one of us when we all want you. But the question is, do you want us all, princess?”Her eyes are on me and then they flick to my three best friends.

My brothers.

The three men I would trust in any situation.

The men I’d be sharing the first girl I’ve been interested in, in years with.

My pack.

Sadie chews her bottom lip, looking at all of us. We hadn’t even ordered yet and had dropped this all on her. We should have fed our omega first. But she seemed to be actually thinking about what we said, taking it seriously

“Are we just trying things out? What does this look like?”

Both her hands were coming up to cover her mouth now but Cameron caught her this time. He is sliding his chair closer to our girl as he nuzzles into her. He scent marks her a little and I watch the way she goes from stiff to soft in seconds.

She needed the physical touch to ground her. Needed her scent match to ease some of her tension.

The way his hand came to her mouth, slipping his middle finger and ring finger between her lips, as he shh’d her shocked me, though. But Sadie seemed to understand. Her soft gag as he finger fucked her mouth in languid thrusts, letting our girl become a drooling mess as she wraps her pretty lips around his fingers.

My cock is stiffening, as I look around making sure we were secluded enough that we could get away with this. Not that anyone would challenge alphas with their omega.

“That’s it, baby brat. Calm down,” Cam was watching her as she suckles on his fingers between her pouty lips, “We want you to be our omega. Exclusive . Move in with us. Be with us as in a relationship. We’re all in with you, Sadie love. But we don’t want you to be overwhelmed and we don’t know what this is going to be like. We just want you, though. We want to register for it. Make it official with you.” Cam spreads out his fingers, her cheeks stretching to accommodate them.

This was a serious conversation and I definitely shouldn’t have a woody during it.

We were all going to hell.

The wet sound of fingers sliding from her mouth had us all exhaling various curse words as Cam sucked the taste of her from them.

“What do you say, little bro?” Ant wore a cocky smirk as she looked at him, biting her lip that was already overworked from getting finger fucked.

“Okay.” She nodded her head like she was convincing herself that this was okay, “I’m keeping my apartment, though. And I still think that after one month I can move back if I want to.” She needed the safety net and none of us were going to take that away from her.

Before we could speak again the waitress came over, taking our orders. Though I was sure that none of us wanted to eat anything other than our omega. It would be important to get something in our systems.

Once we got home we’d show Sadie exactly what being ours meant.
