31. Call Your Mom
CHAPTER 31
CALL YOUR MOM
Paxton
A fter being so loud that we all decided to go for a walk before dinner, the trio made their way downstairs. Sadie between the two guys in a pair of tight jeans, cowboy boots under the slight flair, a white henley shirt she wore under an open plaid pink jacket and a soft smile on her face .
I’ve seen her in bed the past few days, in mostly hoodies and blankets so seeing her now was shocking. Her hair was in a ponytail and she was dressed. It had me pausing. She looks so put together. A slight glow in her eyes that have been missing.
But Sadie didn’t pause to let us take her in. She comes right up and wraps her arms around me. Throwing me even more off.
The hug feels like everything.
I know I squeeze her too hard as I lean in, breathing our girl in. The scent of her is a mix of peaches, oranges, and cherries. All fruity and heavy with the musky scent of sex from the three of them on her skin.
But fuck does it feel good knowing she is open to touch again.
I’ve been giving her baths just to check in on her and feel connected to my omega but this? Soft touches where I can just hold her, I’ve missed them .
I never knew an alpha could get touch starved before I lost her touch.
Sadie stays like this for a beat before looking at Jace, who is sitting at the table and smiling up at her like he can see her shining brighter than before.
It was hard to explain to his parents we were all courting Sadie. She was our girlfriend and I know that they don’t fully understand what that means but they're trying to be supportive of the whole thing.
They knew that we had packed up but no one thought we would ever go for an omega with our complicated history. Maybe a beta companion for each of us but us getting a scent matched omega was a huge deal. One that we were all sharing was even a bigger deal.
The fact we had been courting her for a month and had kept it a secret had also not sat that great with Jace’s family who were an open sort of bunch.
But Sadie has spent most of her time in bed so they haven’t got to know our omega yet and I can see the way Jace’s mother, Betty, is looking at her trying to make sense of how one girl has made the four of us all fall for her.
Probably doesn’t help they just heard Ant and Cam playing with her and they can definitely smell her and them mixed together.
The table only has six seats, Sadie hasn’t come down for a single meal since we arrived here so as she looks at the table I can see her trying to make sense of where to sit.
My arm around her as I pick her up and sit her down. I’m pulling her on my lap and feeling her tense before she leans into me, letting me hold her against me.
“Jace can grab a chair for you if-”
“It’s fine.” Sadie flashes Dale a smirk, “As long as Pax is okay?” She gives me a look and I nod my head. I’m in heaven.
Jace’s parents exchange a look but don’t say anything. They’re about to head out on a three week cruise on Monday and I think after the week they've had with us they’re more than ready to escape the chaos we have made of their ranch.
Sadie and I share a plate. I do my best not to stress out Jace’s parents anymore by feeding her but Sadie keeps wiggling on my lap, enough that I have to move my hand down, clamping her thighs still as she freezes.
“Princess.” It’s a warning that is highlighted by the fact my cock is hard, ready to burst from my pants from the way her ass has been rubbing against me.
Sadie shifts so she can whisper in my ear.
“Sorry, I can feel Ant’s cum dripping out of me. My panties are soaked and it’s sticking to me.”
Her words make me look across the table where a shit eating grin wearing Ant is smirking, like he knows exactly what I just found out from her.
My heart is hammering, thinking of Sadie letting him go bare inside of her. That sweet cunt of hers squeezing around him and him getting to finish inside of her. They had been loud but now I understand it, it’s completely justified.
Sadie takes a bite of potatoes as I completely disassociate, soul leaving my body as I picture my cock in her gummy walls. The tight heat of her around me. Her slick coating both our thighs as I ram into her, holding her smaller body under me.
The way she would make those pretty sounds for me.
It doesn’t do anything to relieve the ache in my balls and the minx on my lap just wiggles again.
“Do you want to go for a ride tonight, Sadie girl?” Jace’s voice makes her nod her head and I can see the way that he looks relieved that she is finally opening up, ready to do things on the ranch. He had such high hopes that this place would recharge our girl.
It’s also good because when she comes back I can whisk her out for a surprise, giving my girl the star treatment that she deserves.
I can also run into town and buy condoms because I don’t want her to feel like she has to take us bare. She always has a choice and I’ll never make her do anything she isn’t comfortable with.
Sadie leans her head back against me as we finish eating, a soft hum coming from her lips as I pull her tighter. It’s only been a week since everything hit the fan but I felt lost without her. The way I feel stationed now, how I can breathe.
It’s everything.
The conversation shifts, Sadie kisses my neck as she follows Jace out to the stables for a ride. And I’m springing into action.
We’ve been using Jace’s old pickup truck so I’m grabbing the keys and heading into town before anyone can ask what I’m doing.
Part of me knows that Betty would have helped me with this, but I want to do this for my girl. Want to go through the extra hoops so that she knows I’m more than willing to do everything for her.
I go to the bakery that I know Jace is going to bring her to because it’s the only place in town to get fancy coffee, as the folks around here call it. And order up a box of desserts, making small talk with the girl behind the counter.
This is a small town.
A community.
And I can already tell that if they find out we are all dating Sadie it’s going to be the talk of the town because Jace’s family is well known. Jace probably knows most of the people who still live here and they will want to know about the pack omega.
I need to talk to the boys about that because I don’t want Sadie spiraling out again.
We need to figure out what happened to our girl and make sure that it never happens again.
Two hours later, I’m all set up for a date night with Sadie.
Heading upstairs, I go into the room she’s been sharing with Cam. He’s the only one she seemed to be able to stand while she was in her nearly catatonic state. Now that she’s out of it, we can take turns in this room.
Have this be Sadie’s base so she has somewhere that is her space and she feels comfortable and in charge of.
“She’s showering.” Cam comments from the bed.
Sitting up, he motions me over, turning his phone so I can see pictures of Sadie. That big smile on her face as she sits on the horse looking like she’s having the time of her life. “Jace is taking her for a ride in the morning. She really liked it. ”
I never knew how good it would feel to see someone else happy but knowing Sadie is happy, fuck , it does something to me.
As if she knew I was coming she comes out of the bathroom, dressed in one of my shirts with my flannel on top of it, coming down past her thighs, she smiles at me, walking over to wrap her arms around me.
“Sleep with me tonight?” I grab her hand when she asks me the question, loving that she is reaching out to me.
I’ve missed holding her, feeling her lay against me as she sleeps.
“I have a surprise first, princess.” I loved the way her smile slid on her face as she followed me outside.
Helping Sadie up into the passenger seat of the pickup truck, she is already scooting closer to me when I slide into the driver's seat. She is letting me wrap her up in my arms as we move down to where there is a lake on the property.
It was already past sundown but a thousand stars are lighting up the sky.
“Stay here.” She looks at me as I jump out of the truck.
I’m heading to the bed of the truck, settling the blankets and pillows around. I open the box of pastries and turn on some twinkle lights that I had bought.I’m going out of my norm to try and make sure my omega feels special and appreciated.
This is the first date we have after everything that happened and it’s important to me that she knows how I care for her.
I feel like I am in high school, Trying to impress a girl who I know is out of my league. But I want to make Sadie smile. It’s so beautiful how she lights up when she’s happy and I want her light to always be shining.
Opening the door, her eyes are on me, as I lead her to the back of the truck. I had backed up so it was facing the water, giving us a good view of everything.
Romance was not my strong suit and I could feel the trickle of sweat on the back of my neck. I didn’t want to fuck this up.
“Oh, Pax.” Her soft surprise before she drags me down to hug her.
My nose is dragging over her throat as I lift her up, watching the way her eyes sparkle as she crawls in the blankets. Sadie is holding her arms out as she motions for me to come to her. It surprises the hell out of me when she pulls out her cellphone.
“I want a picture. I want this moment. You and me.” She sets up her phone before crawling back over to me, letting me wrap my arms around her as she smiles at the camera and lets it flash.
Sadie had n't posted any of what happened online. There have been little flashes of us courting. Lots of moody morning shots of her coffee order and Jace’s hands. Plenty of sweaty selfies with Ant wrapped around her like an octopus. Pictures of Sadie wrapped up in Cam as they play video games. She even posts pictures of the meals I make. Her and the one picture, that’s currently my phone background, where I’m asleep and Sadie snapped a selfie.
In the phone she has her he’d under my chin, the blankets pulled up to cover her but my chest is only covered with my omega. She looks perfect, skin bare and hair slightly skewed from sleep. There is pink in her cheeks as she sleepily snapped a selfie of us.
I love that picture.
“Do you mind?” She asks me.
“Don't forget to tag me so everyone knows who your alpha is.” I tease, kissing her head as she leans towards her phone, smiling at the picture.
This might be my second favorite picture. Proof that our omega came back to me.
“You seem happier, Sadie sweetheart.” She makes a sound, pulling the blankets over us as she curls up, head on my chest.
“I’ve just been in a fog, going through it. Ant pulled me out of it. I think I needed someone to just stop treating me like I was made of glass. To make me feel like he wasn’t mad at me. That I am still worthy of being his omega.” She is quiet, my hand slipping around her, pulling her close to me so she can relax some more.
My hand caressing her back as we lay there, looking at the stars.
The feel of her in my arms is everything. I never want it to go away.
“I’ve never been in a healthy relationship. And now I feel like I’m in a healthy relationship with four great alphas.” She starts.
I didn’t expect Sadie to open up. I didn’t want to push her too much so I just rubbed her back, letting her curl around me as she clung to me.
Just being here with her.
“My ex, Dylan, he’s in jail for hurting me.” She whispers it as I look down at her, watching the way she starts moving her fingers, the stress so clear on her face, “He’d say things to me, things that I sometimes hear still. Especially if someone or something triggers me.”
Like how she was under my desk, clearly triggered.
“Did someone trigger you that night?”
That night.
The night she slit her wrist in my bathtub and I walked in watching the way blood cover too much of the bathroom. The bathroom I had cleaned up so no one had to see it in that state.
I couldn’t ask them to clean it up. Not after Cam had spiraled out. Not after Ant held her bleeding on the way to the hospital. Not how Jace had gone blank.
But I could still see it. Still see Sadie in the water.
Maybe I always would.
Maybe that’s why I still want to give her baths. I want to hold space for her to have positive memories with me there. I want to keep it as our thing so she doesn’t feel like just because something bad happened once it all will be bad.
“Yes.” Her eyes squeeze close and I know she doesn’t want to talk about it, “My therapist said I should tell you guys. She said it will make me feel safer if I just explain what happened but…I don’t want you to be mad at me.
Mad at her?
I have to take a breath. She doesn’t know we saw the video of her under the desk. She doesn’t know we saw the fear on her face as she huddled down into herself. All she knows is that she is upset.
“No one is going to be mad at you. And if you want to tell me and want me to tell the guys for you I will. If you want to tell me and keep it to me, I can do that for you too. I’m just here for you, princess. And all I care about is you being safe and knowing you’re cared for.”
And loved.
Because I love her .
I think we all love her.
Sadie buries her head in my neck taking a breath of my scent before she sits up. Her legs are over my lap as I follow her. Taking a second to wrap her up in a blanket as the stars shine above us.
This was supposed to be a romantic moment but having her open up matters so much more to me. Knowing that she trusts me to tell me about what happened that night makes me feel her love for me.
“At the gym, I’ve been struggling. Weighing myself and worrying because…” she covers her face, unable to look at me and I feel the weight of it in my gut. I need to see her to make sure she’s okay and I’m not seeing her, “I’m the fat girl and you guys are just so damn good looking that when I started losing weight it made me feel so good. Attractive and worth your attention. And I like working out with Ant. I like how it feels but I just get so caught up in it. And I just got caught up so I didn’t see him.” She gulps as I pull her hands away, knowing she's about to chew or suck on her fingers to self soothe.
Stroking my thumb over her hand, I knew we were going to have to talk to her about the way her body changed but I want her to get her full story out first.
Physical looks are so dumb. Sadie is beautiful. She was beautiful with her sassy mouth the first day we met her and she’s beautiful now with the stars shining in her sky.
“Did you know who it was?” She nods her head, blinking at me like she can’t believe she is telling me this, “Do you want me to know who it was?”
“It was that guy from the first day we went boxing.” Trying to recall that day all I can think about is how Sadie knocked Cam right on his ass.
Who was there other than us?
Who had-
“Ray.” I say his name and her back stiffens, fear running across her face, “I’ll ban him from the gym.”
And kick his fucking teeth in.
Piece of shit.
She nods, breathing out.
“He said things to me that reminded me of my ex. And it scared me. It scared me how they all blended together and I was that same girl who was afraid of everything again.” She moves closer, “I just wanted to have control again. To not be afraid. I didn’t mean for it…you know. I really wasn’t trying to…do that.” I nod, understanding. “And I was afraid you’d all think I was too broken. Not worth being with.”
Cupping her jaw, I kiss her lightly. Just a soft reminder that I’m here, that she’s worthy. That I’m not fucking going anywhere.
“Sadie, sweetheart. I hate to tell you this but you’re stuck with us. I don’t think you’re going to be able to get rid of us.” She smirks at me, her eyes still cautious as she looks at me like she doesn’t believe me.
And that’s okay because I’ll show her everyday until she believes it.
“Thank you for listening, Pax. I needed this. Needed you.” I bring her in for another kiss, my mouth opening this time, tasting her as she whimpers against my mouth.
We move like we had planned it out.
Sadie laying back her thighs opening to give me space between her legs. My body is covering her, keeping her warm and making her feel centered. I need her to know that I’m here for her, even if it’s a physical presence.
“I want to make love to you, princess.” I mutter, kissing over her jaw and neck.
“Please, Pax. I need that.”
Moving her hands, I tug off the flannel she is wearing. Then the shirt leaves her only in a pair of black short panties that got tossed in the mess of blankets in the bedding. Sadie’s hands slide up my henley, tugging it off before her hands press against my jeans.
I need to slow things down but it’s so hard when she is my favorite temptation.
Gripping her wrists in my hand, I slide them over her head, pressing my body against hers as she shivers, our lips meeting. A slow heated kiss where our mouths open, searching each other as our hips grind seeking friction.
I’ve been with Sadie a few dozen times in the past month but this feels different. It’s like we both understand it too .
Her head tilts, breaking the kiss, eyes on me.
“I have an IUD. I trust you now. I trust all of you.” Her words make my cock jump and for a second I worry as the head leaks precum. The fear that I’m going to finish in my jeans before even burying myself in her tight heat crosses my mind.
“You don’t have to-”
“I want you, Daddy. I need to feel you. I need it more than I’ve ever needed anything in my entire life.”
Her words are desperate, her eyes boring into me as she looks at me like I’m a raft keeping her a float.
Kicking off my pants and boxers, we’re both bare, skin on skin as we lay, making out like we haven’t kissed in forever. And I could kiss her forever.
Sadie is it for me.
I want to bond with her.
Need to bond her.
Make her pack.
Tell her I love her.
I’ll fix it all.
All the bad things that happened to her. I’m going to rewrite what love looks like for my omega. I’m going to replace every bad word anyone ever said her with a dozen words of affirmation to let her know how she is the world.
A soft moan from her lips breaks up the stillness of night. The puff of air fogs the night sky and I’m reminded how chilly March nights can be in the middle of nowhere.
Tugging the blankets up, I lay against her. My cock firm against her thighs.
“Do you want me to take out the piercings?” She shakes her head.
“All of you, Paxton. I want it all.” Her lips steal mine again, nipping at them as she cups my cheeks. The way her hands feel so small against my bigger body and still she. “I’m falling for you.” She whispers it, like that’s the scariest thing she’s told me tonight.
“Good, princess. I’ve been waiting to catch you.”
Shifting her left knee up and to the side at a 90 degree angle, I start to sink into her. My lips against her ear as I softly move inside of her. I’m going to make love to my girl, give it to her slowly and steadily for hours.
I want us to lose ourselves in each other, a tangle of emotions and physical touch until Sadie can only hear how much I adore her. So she can feel how much I always need her.
Tonight is going to be about cementing everything.
Tomorrow I’ll worry about everything else.
Tonight is just for my omega and I.
