Chapter 30
HAILEY
It was obvious the Alphas didn’t know what to make of my decision about how we should bond, but this seemed like the best way.
We could have an Alpha bond with us simultaneously, all of us clicking into place at the same moment. Something about it seemed magical, and I was glad that Hayes suggested it.
Nate and Sterling are staring at each other, having some telepathic conversation, which has Hayes rolling his eyes, grabbing the back of my neck and pressing his lips against mine.
His kiss is frantic and hungry. A body slides behind me and by scent I know it’s Nate. He cups my breasts, his fingertips sliding down the lace as his callused thumbs draw circles around my nipples.
I gasp into Hayes’ mouth, and he swallows it down with his own groan of pleasure.
My hands shake as I grab Hayes’ face.
I was up here for hours making everything perfect, knowing what I was going to do tonight, but with Nate’s hands on me it really sets in that I’m about to bond a pack.
I’m never going to be alone again. I won’t waste away in the shadows never being noticed. These men see me, and it’s better than I ever imagined finally being seen.
“Relax, sweetheart,” Nate says from behind me, his lips pressing against my neck, his teeth scraping against the exposed skin.
I pull away from my kiss with Hayes, watching as Sterling holds him from behind, and my heart thuds in my chest.
Maybe this is all too soon, maybe we’re all out of our minds, but it feels so right.
Sterling’s hand reaches past Hayes, swiping a piece of hair out of my face while Hayes kisses down my chest and Nate holds me from behind, the hard press of his erection hard to miss.
I’ve never felt like I deserved to be the center of attention. I was just never enough, not smart enough, or interesting enough. But right now I feel like all of those things.
For the first time in my life I feel wholly wanted and loved.
I thought I’d be lucky to find one person who loved me, eventually. Some logical part of me knew I’d need a pack one day, but nothing compares to the reality of this situation.
Tears fill my eyes and Sterling wipes them away with his thumb.
“We can wait,” he says, though I can tell the thought of waiting another moment pains him. The concept of it crushing me, too.
We could wait, get to know each other better, but what’s the point when we all know this was an inevitability?
I kiss Sterling’s hand, shaking my head, not sure how to express that I’m just overwhelmed and in awe of what’s happening. He seems to understand as he pets my hair one more time before pulling away and taking his shirt off.
The motion sets my other men in action. A mixture of undressing mixed in with touches and reverent kisses.
I’m divested of my sheer panties as Nate climbs on top of me. His scent cocoons me as I stare into his eyes. I can’t help it as I drag my finger over his growing mustache, knowing that it’s there because of me.
His hand cups my chin, the slightest tremble in them, and I find it endearing as I place my hand on top of his.
“You’re so perfect,” he whispers, his thumb moving up to swipe at my lip. “You’re sure that you’re ready?”
I nod my head, my tongue swiping out to wet my lips.
“I think we were fate, ya know?” I tell him, pushing back his hair.
I glance over at Sterling and Hayes, who are so caught up in making out they aren’t paying much attention to us. It makes me smile.
“You were there when I needed somebody—twice.” I clear my throat, not wanting to bring up the knot toy ever again. “And out of all the Omegas in the club, Hayes hired me to be his arm candy for the night.”
“Fate,” he says, more to himself than me, pushing my hair back.
I throw my arms around his neck and bring him closer to me, his mouth crashing into mine as his hard cock leaks against my thigh.
His hand slides between us, his fingers dipping into my already wet cunt. There’s no need for pretense, as he uses his slick-covered fingers to stroke his shaft before sliding into me.
Nate is gentle and soft with me. Our kiss getting lost in the feel of each other. His gaze doesn’t leave mine as he shifts in and out of me.
It’s not our first time together. He’s had me every which way during my heat, but this? This is what people talk about when they say they’re making love. To be honest, I didn’t think it was real, something people said to make sex seem more romantic.
But as Nate holds me close, so much of our skin touching, my heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest. I didn’t have any expectations of what bonding an Alpha would feel like, or how I would do it. But I’m happy that it’s Nate with his soft touches.
He pushes my hair away from my neck, his thumb against my thundering pulse point as he slowly rocks in and out of me. The friction of his pelvis against my clit driving me crazy.
“I want to mark you as mine right here,” he says in panted breaths, touching the left side of my clavicle.
His hand slips to cradle the back of my head, our faces so close as he fucks me deeper. Moans slip out of me as he holds eye contact with me, like he can’t risk missing a moment. This means just as much to him as it does to me.
Sterling and Hayes are making salacious noises, and if it were any other situation, I’d be watching them with excitement. But there’s no way I can break the moment between me and Nate.
He pushes harder with his next thrust, his knot pressing inside me, and I whimper as he leans forward, his tongue lashing out against my skin.
His hips cant in and out of me, grinding against my clit in the most perfect way, along with the stretch it’s too much to bear as I fall apart.
Pleasure floods me, but as his teeth sink into my neck, a sense of euphoria hits me. It’s an overwhelming sensation of pure bliss as I grab the back of his head, my other hand digging into his shoulder.
He’s moaning against my neck, his warm cum flooding inside me as he licks and kisses the place he just marked me.
Neither of us move, our chests rising and falling rapidly as we hold one another.
When he finally pulls back, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallows, his eyes watery as he looks down at my mark, I feel it.
A rush of love I never imagined I’d ever feel.
I pull him back to me, and he gives me more of his weight. The blanket of his body comforting as I let all these new sensations rush through me.
“Fuck,” Hayes hisses next to me, and I glance over Nate’s shoulder and watch as Sterling marks him. He’s got Hayes on his back, fucking him and stroking him at the same time.
Hayes covers himself in his own release as his eyes roll back, and I watch as the bond takes hold.
They’re beautiful together, watching them has me in awe. I hold Nate closer to me, and he grunts, his knot shifting inside me.
I moan and Hayes’ hand reaches out, squeezing my arm as Sterling licks the bond before grabbing his chin and kissing him deeply.
The action has me kissing the side of Nate’s face and he rubs my scalp.
There’s nothing but contentment, adoration, and pure happiness down the bond with him and I bask in the emotions. A kiss presses against my cheek and I realize it’s Sterling as he leaves the nest to go to the bathroom.
Hayes lies next to me covered in cum and his hand strokes up and down my arm and then Nate’s back.
The water runs in the bathroom and after a few minutes, Sterling comes back after cleaning himself with a warm rag in hand. He washes Hayes’ stomach before plopping down on the bed.
Words are hard to find, but Hayes somehow breaks the silence.
“Fuck. If I knew it was going to feel that good, I wouldn’t have made you wait so long. But it was worth it. Because I’ll get to feel you soon too.” Hayes leans over, kissing me, and then kissing Nate, who can’t go anywhere with his knot inside me.
This isn’t like heat where we’re all ready to go after coming. We can take our time. We have all night and I don’t plan on rushing this feeling.
We’ve cleaned up, my bra long gone, all of us completely naked on the bed. Nate and Sterling have traded spots.
I swallow thickly as I turn and face Sterling, wanting to give him my full attention. I move a hand down his smooth face and he grabs my ass, pressing me closer to his body.
His scent is soothing and I’m not sure why, but I’m more nervous with him than I was with Nate. Maybe it’s because he’s pack leader, or maybe it’s because I’m just overexcited that when he bites me it means we’ll all be fully connected.
I’ll be able to feel Nate and Sterling clearly, but there will be a soft trickle of Hayes’ emotions if I try hard enough.
It’s then I realize why I’m so nervous. Nate, on some level, understands that I’m fucked up. It wasn’t as scary to put my feelings on a platter for him to see. He has scars from the same people.
But Sterling is so steadfast, he comes from a great family, he’s an amazing person and to bog him down with how I feel all the time? I’m not sure I really thought this through.
Sterling grabs my face, forcing me to make eye contact with him. The look that washes over him is a balm to my insecurities, because the way he looks at me is like a man without a single doubt of what he wants, and that’s me.
“Are you nervous, baby girl?” he asks, my heart swooning at his pet name for me.
I lick my lips, looking down, and he squeezes my chin again, making me look back up at him.
“You’re sure you want to feel me all the time, all my emotions?” I whisper.
He smiles. “I want to know everything that goes on in that pretty little head of yours, and I want every piece of you.”
Sterling has been so sure since the beginning, he’s truly the glue that holds everyone together and I need him to know how I feel before he commits.
I clear my throat as I stare into his amber eyes. “I want every piece of you too. I didn’t think Alphas like you existed,” I whisper, sliding my fingers down his face. “You hold everyone together. You’re kind, attentive, and loving, and everything I was looking for.”
“You’re everything I was looking for too,” he says.
“I know Nate and I had history and Hayes was the spark that ignited this all, but I just want you to know that you’re the glue. You’re the blueprint to what every pack leader should be like, what a true Alpha should be like.”
His Adam's apple bobs as he pushes some hair out of my face. “Are you trying to get me all choked up right before we bond?” he says and I laugh, shaking my head.
“I just need you to know that I chose you, that we’re not just together because of circumstance. You’re the whole reason this pack is what it is, and I’m just so grateful that you chose me back,” I say, my hands shaking against his face as I tell him how I feel.
“I will always choose you Hailey, always. You can trust me with your feelings, and your heart. I’m here for you always, if you need out of that pretty little head of yours, I can do that too,”
“How?”
His hand slides down to my throat, lightly gripping the sides, just enough to have my pulse pounding, but not too tight that I couldn’t speak.
“When things are too much, I’ll handle them for you. I’m your Alpha and I want to take care of you in every way.”
“I want that,” I rasp out.
“Now you’re going to wrap that pretty pussy around my dick and let me mark what’s mine, aren’t you?”
The slick dripping out of me is ostentatious, and he must scent it with the smirk that takes over his face.
He flips us over so he’s on his back, and I crawl on top of him. It’s comical how much larger he is than me, and I can’t help but to glide my hands over his rippling chest. His skin is a beautiful golden brown, with a few scattered black and gray tattoos on his body.
I let myself explore and enjoy staring at him for a moment, before I do as he asked. I grab his length and press it against my entrance, and slide down.
He feels perfect, the right amount of stretch as I seat myself down to his knot. I lean forward and he immediately has his hand on my breast, bringing my nipple to his mouth and sucking hard. It has me canting my hips, rubbing myself on him, marking him as mine.
“That’s right, I’m fucking yours. You like claiming me with your slick? Before work, I’m going to eat your pussy, tasting you all day long, so I always remember who I belong to,” he says.
“Fuck,” I hiss, liking his words too much.
It’s not just about me being his Omega, it’s him being mine, and he fully understands that now.
His kisses move up my throat. He cheekily licks Nate’s mark before moving to the other side.
“You want my mark? You want every Alpha to know you’re mine?”
“Yes. God, yes,” I pant, close to my orgasm and barely able to handle his words.
“Should I make you wait for it, baby girl? Edge you for hours with my knot, having you fucking shaking and begging for me to fill you up and sink my teeth into you?”
That sounds horrible. So instead, I grab the back of his head, pressing it against my neck as I ride him harder, working up momentum to press down on his knot completely.
Sterling kisses the spot on my neck, sucking the skin into his lips as my pussy convulses around him, my eyes squeezing shut with the intensity of the orgasm as he finally sinks his teeth into me.
And just like that, I feel whole.
Sterling holds me tight, like there’s any way I could move anywhere else as he kisses his mark like it might disappear.
There’s elation down the bond, along with what I can only assume is pure relief.
I pull back and kiss him softly. One of his hands still gripping my ass at the other grabs the back of my head.
It’s hard to decipher whose emotion is whom, but when I feel all-consuming pleasure, I glance over, knowing it’s Nate feeling that way.
