CHAPTER 14
Cyrus
I stood outside Issa’s door a few more minutes and eavesdropped on their conversation. Some of it was too quiet to hear, but for the most part…Amir was fucking awesome.
It was generally an alpha’s job to dote on and cherish their omega. And of course, we would totally do that with Amir. But we’d wanted to do the same with Issa from pretty much the day she’d agreed to stay with us.
Over and over, she’d acted as though she wasn’t a part of the pack, as though she didn’t believe we wanted her as our beta and her time with us wasn’t just temporary.
But…had we bothered to actually show her how we felt? I knew I was doing my best to give her time and space to heal after the bullshit she’d endured through her life before us. Had we managed to make her feel more like a roommate instead of a woman who’d crashed her way into our hearts the same moment she’d crashed her car into the gates of the Rivera estate ?
With my back against the wall beside her bedroom door, I inhaled deeply, dragging the increased pheromones into my lungs, Issa’s warm fresh linen mixing beautifully with Amir’s chocolate covered strawberry.
My dick thickened until I had to adjust myself before my fucking zipper bit into the flesh of my shaft.
I had no idea whether they were fooling around or having sex, but standing out here like a voyeur would do nothing to quell my hard-on. This was supposed to be a date, a chance for Amir to get to know us all.
And yeah, it was for him to get to know us . It didn’t matter how we felt about him – Issa liked him; therefore, we would do whatever was needed to convince him to join our pack.
The small, broken beta had all three of us wrapped around her dainty little finger. She held so much power over us three alphas yet had no idea how to wield it. Shit. I wasn’t even sure she realized how much control she had over us.
Pushing from the wall, I quietly made my way down the hall, descended the stairs, and lowered onto the couch where Enzo and Ax waited.
“They coming?” Ax asked.
I nearly barked out a surprised laugh. “Um…one way or another,” I said, and grinned when Ax and Enzo turned raised brows on me.
“Damn, dude. How the hell does he get her to lower her damn walls? I would give my left nut to feel her under my hands,” Ax said, dropping his head against the couch.
“Have either of you actually…tried anything with her? Tried to kiss her or make love to her or anything?”
“I did but you cock blocked me,” Ax said.
“You tried to fuck her with us both in bed,” Enzo said, rolling his head to look at Ax from the other end of the couch.
“So? You could have either watched or joined in,” Ax said with a shrug.
“Yeah. Right. ‘Hey, Issa. I know we haven’t done nearly enough to make you feel like an important part of the pack, but enjoy this gangbang’,” I retorted, shoving Ax’s head when he waggled his brows like that was exactly what should have been said that night. “You’re an idiot.”
There was no force behind my words and a grin stretched across my lips as I tried to picture Issa’s face had one of us actually said that.
We had finally seen the footage of her with Amir in the office and she absolutely had a libido. Which meant we’d been depriving our girl this whole time.
But what if she wasn’t attracted to us, or only one of us? What if she only saw me as a packmate and friend? I would still have Amir, Enzo, and Ax, but I wanted Issa as badly.
Possibly more.
I’d fallen in love with her almost from the start. Not that I’d bothered to tell her – or my packmates – that little nugget of information.
There were cameras all over the house including in our bedrooms. But we didn’t tend to check those. It felt like an invasion of privacy, especially when it came to Issa who’d had her entire life controlled by alphas. We wanted her to feel safe with us. We wanted her to know she had control over every aspect of her life.
But in this moment, as their combined scents began to filter down the stairs and into the living room, I was more than tempted to open the app to see if we should get comfortable instead of waiting for them to join us.
“Fuck it,” Ax said, pulling his phone free and opening the camera app as though he’d heard my own internal battle. “Ho-ly shit,” he growled out.
In unison, Enzo and I leaned toward him to get a view of his screen. Issa hadn’t changed out of the dress she’d chosen for the day date at the rodeo. It was currently up around her waist as she rose and fell on Amir’s cock, one of his hands gripping her hip while the other appeared to be cupping a tit, his head leaning forward, more than likely sucking and nipping at her nipple.
Copper, spiced rum, and my own wet wood scents exploded into the room, mingling and mixing with the pheromones from our beta and our omega. And fuck anyone who tried to say otherwise – Amir was ours if for no other reason than what we were watching on the phone.
He obviously made Issa happy. He was shattering all those walls she’d built around herself, smashing through the ice she’d had protecting her heart.
Now I was torn between finding a way to control my near rut level need, pulling my cock free and jerking off to the sexiest fucking thing I’d ever seen, or begging one of my mates to suck me off.
“I vote gangbang,” Ax said. But his voice didn’t hold the normal teasing tone but was deeper and huskier than normal. Yep. All three of us were fighting our alpha instincts to rush into that room, fuck both the beta and omega, and mark them as ours. “We need more cameras in that room. I wish I could see her tits bouncing.”
Once again adjusting my boner, I turned my attention away from the screen. “Give them some privacy. We’ll all be together eventually.”
“Dude. Amir said his next heat is a couple months away. Can you wait a couple more months to feel her wrapped around your cock?” Ax said.
Enzo snatched his phone and ended the feed. “We’ve waited this long. We’ll wait as long as she needs.”
“She told us she wanted sex. I wasn’t the only one who heard her, right?” Ax said, turning his head to look from Enzo to me then back.
“And she’ll let us know when she wants one of us to fuck her. Until then…we let her set the pace.” And this was one of the reasons Enzo was pack lead. He might be a flirt like Ax, but he was able to keep his shit in check where Ax…well, the fucker followed wherever his dick led most times.
The three of us had been lovers for years, but that didn’t mean we hadn’t enjoyed flings with betas through the years. Until Issa, I’d never felt the need to remain exclusive to one person. Or in this case, two people.
There had never been jealousy when one of us fucked someone either in one of our offices or brought them home.
But for the first time, I found myself jealous. Only I wasn’t sure whether I was more jealous of Amir or Issa .
Nah. Bullshit. I was definitely more jealous of Amir. He’d gotten through to her in a way I hadn’t achieved. He’d been with her twice now, had tasted her, had felt that sweet little body against his, had felt her cunt wrapped around his cock.
“Fuck,” I ground out, pushing to my feet when my thoughts kept my dick at full mast.
“Where you going?” Enzo asked, watching me over the back of the couch. Or rather couches since we’d pushed them together so we could all cuddle together while watching a movie.
“I need some air before I shove my cock down Ax’s throat.”
Ax barked out a laugh.
Enzo shook his head. “He’s rubbing off on you.”
I lifted a hand over my shoulder as I moved through the kitchen and out the back door to the patio. It wasn’t so much that Ax was rubbing off on me as I was feeling…unstable. Out of control. Those were two things I didn’t suffer from, two things I’d never struggled with.
But after seeing someone take Issa in a way I’d dreamed of for months I was fighting my instinct to rut into the first person I could.
And my girl deserved more than a quick, hard fuck from me, especially for our first time together.
No. When I finally got Issa into my bed, I planned to take hours memorizing every inch of her body, to learn every one of her sounds, what made her moan or whimper, what brought her the most pleasure.
And then I would bury myself as deep as possible short of knotting her.
