Chapter Two
Ax fidgeted in the back seat. Tekumi and Drift were in the front of Drift’s truck.
They pulled up outside a wide house, and she tried to calm herself so she didn’t make a run for it.
Hector came out of the house wearing loose trousers and a muscle tee.
His bright grin was unmistakable. “Ax! You actually made it.”
Ax had to wait until Drift opened the door, and then she got up and went to meet Hector. He was vibrating with excitement. Hector hugged her tight and buried his face in her shoulder. “I love the way you smell.”
She blinked. She could feel the love. It was pressing into her pelvis. “This is a little overwhelming.”
He smiled. “Two alphas and you? I can manage it.”
“I mean for me, dumbass.”
He blinked. “Oh. Right. Sorry. How did this get sprung on you?”
“My sister squealed and told them that we were a match. So, I ended up with two alphas, and then she mentioned that I knew an omega who might balance our gathering. I thought of you.”
He touched her cheek, and she felt the smooth silk with the rough calluses from weightlifting. “I think of you. Constantly. Come on. Let’s meet the bullies.”
Drift chuckled. “We are not bullies. We are excited and hopeful. I am Drift, and this is Tekumi.”
Hector’s eyes went wide. “Wow. You shop for size.”
Ax slapped her hand over her eyes. “It isn’t so much shopping as having matches that feel right at first sight.”
Hector smiled slyly. “And you thought of me?”
She looked at the man who was only slightly taller than her beta height. “Out of the five omegas I know, you are the only one I would invite between my thighs.”
Hector’s eyes got heavy. “That is quite the image.”
“Oh, you have no idea. This isn’t my actual shape, by the way. Nor is that Tekumi’s. Do you want your neighbours to see, or shall we go inside?”
Hector looked around and said, “They would need binoculars, but come on in.”
He kept a grip on her hand and pulled her into the warm and inviting scent that filled his house.
Hector was giddy and pulled her into his house and toward a recliner. He had the enthusiasm of a large puppy. “So, what do you look like?”
Tekumi shifted first, and while Hector was staring at him, Ax took a deep breath and rose to her full djinn height.
Hector turned toward her and let out a soft, “Wow.”
Drift said softly, “I know, right?”
Tekumi reached out and touched her shoulder. Her clothing turned into a fluttering black gown that clung to every curve.
He touched her ponytail, and her hair swung heavily down to her elbows.
Hector smiled and reached up slightly to touch her cheek. “I have seen you in exercise gear for years, but this, this is spectacular.”
She chuckled. “Still hung up on the skin tone?”
“Yeah, and you feel so soft, but I can see the muscle. You really are a delta.”
“As far as the seers can tell. But I don’t have a regular cycle, so I have no idea how to figure out when it is a good time for conception.”
Hector smiled. “I can tell. I will be able to taste it.”
“Taste it?”
Tekumi chuckled. “I believe I understand.”
Drift nodded. “Hector can monitor your biology for changes. Tekumi, can you?”
“Not precisely.” He chuckled. “I am eager to study.”
Hector chuckled, and Ax paused. “Oh. I think I understand what you are referring to.”
Hector pulled her head down to his, and as his kiss got deep, she gasped and fought the urge to pull him close. Then he leaned his head back. “Not that kind of kiss.”
“Oh.”
“Yes. Oh. You taste so bright.”
She felt her cheeks heat.
Drift smiled. “Does she? I need to check.” He didn’t pull her out of Hector’s arms but just leaned between them and kissed her.
Hector chuckled, and Drift hummed slightly. He lifted his head. “She does taste bright.”
Tekumi stepped in. “Let me check. I haven’t ever kissed a delta before.”
He kissed her, and she felt the other two bodies far too close. She felt warm, and the warmth was rapidly getting to an uncomfortable point.
Hector’s arms were tight when Tekumi lifted his head. Hector chuckled. “Ax, you are getting hot.”
She blushed. “Can we not mention that?”
Hector said, “Why not? It’s wonderful.”
Drift looked at her and said, “Acina is overwhelmed.”
Hector frowned. “Why?”
Tekumi said, “Because while being the focus of attention is desired by some, Ax hasn’t felt the craving before.”
Ax nodded. “That’s pretty close.”
Hector looked around. “Can we have a cuddle pile in my nest?”
Ax looked from one alpha to the other. “Um, I thought you didn’t...”
“I am still emotional, and it is nice to have a spot in the house that is exclusively mine.” Hector changed his grip and picked her up. “Come on. No negotiation.”
“I can walk.”
“Can you be smaller than me again?”
She smiled and shrank back to her normal height, which left him several inches taller. He set her down and picked her up with his arm under her knees and her arm, cuddling her against him.
“Just cuddling, right?”
Hector walked through his house and nodded. “Just cuddling, but an omega’s version of cuddling is pretty much anything short of direct penetration.”
He held her as she tried to get out of his grip while the alphas snickered.
Hector’s nest was on the upper floor, just past his bedroom.
Drift stepped forward and opened the door.
The blue and black bedding looked comfortable, which was good because Hector walked in, turned around, and fell back while Ax shrieked.
They landed in a bouncy pile of pillows, and Hector looked at her.
“Now, this dress suited your other form, but this form is a little small for it.”
She looked down and began summoning a boiler suit. There was a lot of her on display. Tekumi grabbed her hand. “If you are worried about nudity, we will go first.”
Ax looked around, and Hector eased her to the side before stripping. She covered her face while they got undressed, and then Drift said softly, “Your turn.”
Tekumi’s voice was near her. “Would you like me to do it?”
She nodded with her hands over her face.
Cool air suddenly wrapped around her on the spots that weren’t sitting on silky fabric.
Hector gasped softly. “Oh, Ax. You are gorgeous. All hard and soft at the same time.”
She peeped, and there were a lot of males on display. “Uh, I don’t think that this is for me. This is an omega thing.”
Hector smiled. “It is, but it is also an alpha thing, and we will prove that it is also a delta thing.”
That was all the warning before she was tackled into the pile of pillows, and hands and mouths began to learn her reactions. Every now and then, she pushed a hand or a head away, but they circled and returned with a different touch.
Hector had dimmed the lights, and that helped, but the first time an orgasm fluttered through her, they all stilled and watched.
Ax panted as her body throbbed around the fingers.
She was pretty sure they belonged to Hector.
His were also the lips that were clamped on her left nipple.
Drift was at her back and cupping her breasts, and Tekumi was nuzzling the sensitive spot on her neck while stroking the back of her knees.
He was the only one she could get a grip on, and she couldn’t get much force behind it.
Her palms were sweaty, and so was the rest of her.
Hector chuckled. “I admire your ability to keep your eyes closed, but I am sure that it just made feeling everything so much worse or better.”
She shuddered as he spoke against her belly.
“We definitely enjoyed the view.”
Drift’s voice rumbled. “Gentlemen, rotate.”
Ax squawked as fingers slid out of her, and she was held as the bodies in the room with her changed configuration. She ended up with Hector behind her, Drift had taken charge of her upper torso, and Tekumi was stroking her belly and thighs as heat moved across her sex.
The second round began and continued for half an hour.
By the time the third round had been concluded, she was limp, her body was throbbing, and Hector had gone off twice from watching.
Hector pulled her into his arms. “Will you still be my gym buddy?”
“I will still be your gym buddy.” Her voice was exhausted. She was completely limp.
“Will you be my delta?”
“Why the fuck not? You will have to deal with tall me a lot of the time. I don’t want to freak Tekumi out.”
There was a chuckle, and someone kissed her palm and then pressed it to his chest. “Thank you. Will you be my delta?”
She opened her eyes slightly. “Yes?”
He grinned, his red eyes glowing in his charcoal-dark features. He leaned in and kissed her softly. “Thank you.”
Drift held her other hand between two of his. “That leaves me.”
“Ah, the choreographer,” she murmured quietly.
“You noticed that?” Drift chuckled.
“Hard not to notice when hands that almost hurt suddenly... felt different.”
He slid his fingers between hers. “Like I said, my brother was very specific about paying attention and watching your partner.”
“Well, gold star to you.” She sighed deeply. “You were really paying attention.”
He chuckled and held her hand. “Will you take me as your alpha?”
The other two inhaled sharply. She turned her head toward him and looked at him straight on. “Well, aren’t you the clever one?”
He grinned. “Why, yes. I am.”
“Well, then, yes, I will take you as my alpha.” She smirked, “But not my only alpha.”
He laughed. “Aren’t we clever?”
“Why, yes, we are.”
Tekumi exhaled in relief. “Sneaky, Drift.”
Drift pulled her in for a kiss. “I thought so.”
That one little phrase would have locked them together in a mutual agreement and left Tekumi on the outside waiting for Drift’s invitation. Hector would be connected under his link to Ax.
The kiss was sweet, and when she yawned into his mouth, he laughed. “We have been playing for a while.”
She nodded. “It’s been quite the day. I was promised cuddling, and that was targeted cuddling.”
