CHAPTER 22
Issa
I giggled when Cyrus brushed past me, pressing a kiss to the top of my head as he hefted boxes through the house and up the stairs.
Today was move in day. As in, our omega was officially moving in.
The problem was he was only bringing his clothing since he really didn’t have much in the way of furniture since he’d lived with his family. So, in true alpha fashion, Enzo, Ax, and Cyrus had sat Amir on the couch with a laptop and had him click through and order whatever he might need or want for his quarters and the nest.
Amir had only ordered a few things, declaring he needed to actually feel the fabric under his hands before he could commit to picking blankets, pillows, and such.
None of the guys would let me help carry the few boxes, as if the ten pounds was too heavy. That was fine. I’d plopped myself onto the huge pack bed centered against the wall in Amir’s room and enjoyed watching the way they interacted with each other. It had only been two days since we’d all officially become pack, since all three alphas had marked me and Amir. And I was still floating on cloud nine.
To top off all my squishy feelings, I was scheduled to start training as a server at The Vault the following week and we had dinner planned with Amir’s family. I was dying to meet the people who’d birthed and raised such an amazing person.
In less than a year, my life had gone from a nightmare to an absolute dream.
“We should invite my sister and her pack over for dinner soon,” I announced as the four guys unpacked the boxes and put things away.
I had spent a bit of time living with Cora and her pack after finally getting away from Antonio, then had been invited to stay with Enzo, Ax, and Cyrus. My beautiful nephew had been born and I was absolutely crazy about him but hadn’t seen in a few weeks.
What could I say? I’d been busy falling in love and getting bonded. I hadn’t even mentioned to Cora I’d met and fallen for an omega or that I’d been bonded to Ax. And now, I had even more news to tell her.
The two of us hadn’t been close growing up. I hadn’t really been close with any of my siblings growing up. But that had been our parents’ fault, not because we didn’t get along.
I hadn’t heard from or seen my brothers in over a year, but Cora and I had taken steps to mend the rift between us that had been caused by our alpha fathers reminding their beta children that we were lesser than their golden omega daughter.
Amir appeared to love his designation, loved being an omega. And had been teaching me the ways of an omega , as he called it. He was teaching me to go for what I wanted, to ask for what I wanted, to take what I wanted.
It was slow going, but at least it was working. I’d told Ax how I felt, had asked him to make love to me, had asked for his bite. Had Amir not given me the courage…
“Set it up and I’ll buy the food,” Ax said as he flattened one of the boxes to be set in the recycle bin.
With a squeal, I grabbed my phone, scooted until my back was against the headboard, and typed out a quick text to Cora, inviting her entire pack and my nephew for a laid-back cookout. No fancy restaurants. No fancy clothes. Just a few hours for her to meet and get to know my omega.
She already knew my alphas, being as Enzo was brother to her pack lead. But I was dying to introduce her to the sexy omega who was currently twisting his long, curly hair back into a messy bun, strands coming loose to frame his face no matter how hard he tried to manage it.
“What are you staring at?” he teased, stopping near the end of the bed then crawling toward me on his hands and knees.
“Now that’s a sight,” Ax muttered as he passed with more crushed boxes.
“You,” I said when he settled between my thighs and rested his cheek on my stomach.
From the moment he’d pretended to be my boyfriend at The Vault, everything had felt so easy and natural with him, as easy as breathing.
His arms slid between me and the mattress, hugging me tightly as a sweet omega purr rumbled against me.
I couldn’t resist the urge to run my fingers across his scalp, going as far as pulling the elastic away so I could feel the silky warmth of his curls against my fingers.
“That feels so good,” he hummed, nuzzling his cheek against my stomach.
Cyrus stopped near the door to the nest, a minifridge in his arms, and smiled at me. It was one of those affectionate, wistful smiles that warmed my heart.
I could feel him through our bond. Each of the alphas were so different, yet I felt their love and affection through their individual threads every time they so much as glanced at me.
“We need to plan a shopping trip,” Ax announced.
“How many plans are we making for the month?” Enzo asked as he stepped out of the walk-in closet and swung the door shut behind him. “We still have a job. We’ll have to take a week off in a couple months; we can’t start skipping out on work just because our pack is complete.”
Amir and I sighed at the same time, then burst into giggles. My sweet omega brought out a more playful side of me, a flirtatious and romantic side that I’d either never realized existed or simply hadn’t had the chance to acknowledge because of my former alpha. And my family. And…well, pretty much every asshole who’d been in my life before this pack.
Before I became beta to Pack Rivera. Before I became Issa Rivera.
“I didn’t say we had to plan everything in one day, asshole,” Ax grumbled.
And all I could do was smile. Life was…perfect. At least now it was. Finally .
I had a life I never could have dreamed was possible for me. I had a pack who truly cared for me and hadn’t given a single fuck about my previous last name or who my fathers had been. They hadn’t wanted me as their beta for the power or wealth that would, at one time, have come with bonding me.
“Can we have a pack cuddle?” I asked as my three alphas stopped and stared at me and Amir. “Like…for the rest of the day?”
Enzo growled. “We have to head to the club soon. But we shouldn’t be out late. You two want to come hang out and listen to some music–"
“And watch me shake my ass,” Ax said, cutting into Enzo’s question.
“Or do you want to hang out here until we get back?”
“And have sex on every bed so the entire house smells like you.” Ax said, again cutting into Enzo’s question and earning a scowl from the pack lead.
Amir’s head popped up and he looked at the alphas over his shoulder. “Option two. Hands down, option two.”
He immediately slid further down my body, his fingers hooking in the sides of my leggings in an attempt to get me naked.
“I don’t think they meant right now,” I said with a giggle as his fingers dug into my ribs when I tried to keep my pants on. “And he said all the beds, not just the pack bed.”
Had I smiled or laughed as much in my life as I had since meeting Amir? I knew I had smiled more in the past few months than I remembered ever smiling throughout my entire life. It had taken some time, but the three alphas felt as though they were removing bricks from my shoulder, one by one, while chiseling away at the ice that had frozen around my heart.
I wasn’t sure there was more than a little frost remaining now that I could feel all of them down the invisible threads in my chest tying us together.
“By all means, don’t stop on our account,” Ax said, taking a few steps before launching himself onto the bed and grabbing one side of my leggings while Amir tugged on the other.
“We got to get going, idiot,” Enzo said with a shake of his head. “Unless you want to get stuck at the club all night.”
He dropped his forehead against my thigh and growled, a fake grumble that was more of a frustrated groan. “Fine.”
Pushing onto his elbows, he kissed my hip, crawled forward to press a loud smack of a kiss against my lips, then rolled off the side of the bed, winking at me as he followed a smiling Cyrus and a grumpy Enzo through the door of the omega quarters.
My omega. My Amir.
There hadn’t been an omega in my three person pack with Antonio. Hell, my fellow beta had split so early, I wasn’t even sure how a full pack looked until I’d come here.
What I had seen of packs, the omega was always the top dog of the pack, the one who everyone revolved around. The beta was always just…there. Their scent and presence calmed the alphas due to their neutral status.
But not here. Not with this pack. Yeah, it was obvious the alphas were already protective of Amir and wanted to make him happy. But they’d chosen him for me, chosen a male omega for me. It had been my insistence that he become pack. It had been me who’d slept with him – many times – before any of my alphas touched him .
Merely the beta, yet all four men acted as though their lives revolved around me . It was a heady yet overwhelming reality.
“Do we have to start in the other rooms first?” Amir asked as he nipped and nibbled across my stomach and ribs, the soft touches making me squirm and squeal and giggle.
Something I’d noted early on was Amir’s on switch remained on regardless of the situation. And that he came a lot .
Oh. And every inch of him tasted as sweet as his scent, including his release.
Everything about this beautiful man was addictive.
“I don’t think there were any rules as to where to start or finish.” And I was pretty sure Ax was kidding. Not one hundred percent sure, of course. It was hard to tell sometimes with my first official alpha.
Amir lunged from the end of the bed, dragging me with him. “I say we start on Ax’s bed.”
I squealed when he scooped me into his arms and sprinted from the room, down the stairs to the second level, then down the hall to the room that not only smelled heavily of Ax’s heady spiced rum scent, but was covered in his dirty clothes, as though he’d simply let them fall wherever he happened to be standing when he’d changed clothes.
He tossed me onto Ax’s unmade bed, and I couldn’t resist the urge to roll over and bury my face in Ax’s pillow, sucking deep breaths of his signature into my body. I wanted to go with Amir when they finally made the trip to Omega’s Desires because I was determined to get some lotions with their scent. That way, I could wear them all day every day, smell them even when we weren’t together.
“Stay right there,” Amir said. His voice had gone all deep and husky and my pussy instantly grew wet. Or wet ter . It was hard not to be horny with the men in my life.
His fingers were warm as they hooked my leggings and tugged them the rest of the way down my legs until my ass was bared to him.
“Fuck, you’re sexy.” He kissed a path up my calves, the backs of my knees, licking and nipping at my thighs, before urging my legs apart.
The moment his tongue slid down the crack of my ass, teasing my back hole before sliding an arm under my waist to pull my hips up and attacking my pussy with earnest, a throaty moan tore from my chest.
I had to turn my head, resting my cheek on Ax’s pillow, to keep from smothering myself as Amir ate me like a starved man and my cunt was a four-course meal.
“You taste so good,” he murmured against my core, his breath warm, his lips soft and almost aggressive as he sucked my clit between his lips. “Lift that ass more for me,” he said, his hands sliding below my hips and urging me onto my knees.
I was prepared for him to slide his cock into me. Instead, he rolled onto his back and pulled me so I was almost sitting on his face, then returned his attention to eating me, one finger teasing my back hole, another sliding into my pussy, as his tongue and lips sucked and licked and nipped at my clit.
“Amir. Holy shit,” I cried out, sitting up fully and cupping my own tits, rolling my nipples between my fingers as my body began to tighten with the first tingles of orgasm.
Tossing my head back, I screamed as I imploded, coming on Amir’s tongue as he lapped up my release, continuing to pump his fingers into my ass and pussy.
“I’m going to fuck you over and over,” he said before returning his mouth to my pussy.
My breath whooshed from me when he wrapped his arm around my back and rolled us until his face was nestled between my thighs where he went right back to licking and sucking until he wrung another orgasm before the aftershocks from the first faded.
When he lifted his face, his chin and lips shimmered with my come and arousal. He didn’t wipe it away, but he did lick his lips as though savoring my taste.
His cock was thick and hard as he slid into me in one hard thrust, his body lining along mine, the bulk of his weight held up on his elbows.
I could taste myself on his lips as he kissed me as though claiming me, devouring my mouth the way he’d devoured my cunt .
“I’m going to fuck you over and over on every bed in this house. Every surface. I’m going to make sure the alphas know what they were missing while they were gone. I’m going to make you come over and over until your legs shake and you can’t keep your eyes open.”
Wrapping my fingers in his hair, I forced him to look at me and stared into those hypnotic green eyes. “Promise?”
