Chapter Thirty-Five – Pax
Gideon paces the hall before me. Behind his glasses, his eyes carry concern—concern and a powerful desire. That’s only reinforced by the bulge of his cock against his pants; it’s so hard he walks with a small limp.
Me? My cock is raging between my legs, too. How could it not? Knowing our omega is upstairs, possibly going through her heat, is like catnip to my dick. And knowing she’s up there with a named knot and Colter doesn’t alleviate any of the emotions at war inside of me.
The beta will take care of her to the best of his abilities, but a beta and a fake knot can only go so far. Gideon and I could make her feel a hell of a lot better.
I stand at the base of the stairs, a wall between Gideon and the rest of the house.
If I move, I can’t help but wonder if both Gideon and I will crack.
We told Raeka we wouldn’t push, we wouldn’t force her to do anything she didn’t want to do, but fuck, is it hard to stay downstairs when she’s probably up there fucking Colter.
Gideon stops pacing, standing directly before me. At his sides, his hands are in a constant state of flexing and relaxing, as if he’s trying to give his mind something else to put all of his attention on. “We should be up there,” he whispers, voice gruff.
“I know,” I say. “But it’s on her time, not on ours.”
“It’s killing me to be down here. It physically hurts.”
I feel that same pain in me, too. I know exactly what he means, which is why I’m confident when I tell him, “We need to earn her trust. If that means suffering through a heat where we don’t help her through it, then that’s what it means.
” I don’t like seeing the alpha so distraught, so I set a hand on his shoulder and squeeze. “Patience. Just be patient.”
He closes his eyes and takes a slow inhale, then lets that breath out even more slowly. “I know.” When he opens those dark blue eyes, he’s focused on me. “I’ve never felt like this before.”
“Me either,” I tell him, sluggish in dropping the hand off his shoulder. “But then again, a lot of this is new to me.”
“For what it’s worth—” Gideon has to pause to adjust himself over his pants. “—I think you’re doing a fantastic job.”
“Same to you.” I’m seconds from telling him to just pull out that dick and stroke one out if it’s bothering him that much, but my ears hear the sound of someone coming down the stairs.
It’s a faint sound, at first, and until I actually see Colter round the landing and come within my sight, I don’t believe it.
The beta is sweaty, shirtless—and he wears nothing but gray sweatpants. His cock is hard, pressing against those sweatpants, surely a sign of what he and Raeka did. A month ago, I would have been jealous. Pissed off, even. But now, all I can think is: did the beta give our omega what she needed?
Colter signs something. I started watching videos on Raeka’s instruction, wanting to communicate with him without his tablet as well, but I’m so out of my mind about our omega that I don’t even try to understand what he’s saying. I look to Gideon to translate.
“He says she wants us up there,” the other alpha speaks, stunned. “But she doesn’t want us to bite her.” When the beta adds something else, Gideon sucks in a hard breath. “And she’s on birth control.”
Birth control? I won’t lie, a part of me would love to see Raeka pregnant, but I’ve never daydreamed about having kids. I don’t need them to feel complete.
Gideon and I start up the stairs, and we make it to where Colter stands, still gazing at us both. The beta signs something else, and the alpha beside me says, “He wants to make sure we won’t bite her, even if she begs us to.”
He’s concerned about her, and it just goes to show that Colter really does have the omega’s best interests at heart. Standing tall under both his uncle’s and my approach, all in the name of protecting Raeka from something she doesn’t want. Admirable.
I meet the beta’s eyes and say, “You have my word.”
Gideon nods once. “Mine as well.”
The beta accepts that, and he steps aside. Both Gideon and I race up the stairs, all the way to the third floor, the beta close behind. I’m the first to step into Colter’s room, and immediately I’m hit with the thick smell of her slick in the air, so sweet, so tempting.
Fucking hell. I could come in my pants right now.
And Raeka? She’s on the floor, amongst her nest, currently riding that silicone knot…
and I think my ears hear it vibrating, too.
She’s naked, sweaty, and fucking gorgeous.
If my cock wasn’t already rock hard, the mere sight of her like this would snap it into place.
This omega gives me an eternal boner, for fuck’s sake.
“Well?” Raeka huffs, shooting a frown at us. “Are you going to come join me, or just creep like that?” Even though she’s full of an artificial knot, she still has her spunk, I see.
I fucking love it.
All Colter has to do is slide off his sweats. Gideon and I have a bit more clothes to take off before we can join them in the nest. She watches us both as we undress, wearing a hungry expression with those big gray eyes, her pupils dilated out of sheer lust.
I finish undressing first, and I practically tackle the omega to the ground. I do it gently, of course, but she clearly isn’t expecting the move, because she lets out a soft, surprised chuckle. I pull the silicone knot out of her and toss it aside.
“Fucking hell,” I whisper against her neck, nuzzling over her scent gland.
“I thought Gideon and I were going to self-combust downstairs, knowing you were up here with Colter.” I pull my face out of the crook of her neck and gaze down at the omega in my arms. “Are you sure you want us here? Once I get a taste of you…”
Raeka nods once, and then she glances at Gideon, who is finally lowering himself next to us, now completely naked. Colter sits off to the side, careful to not touch his uncle or stare at the hard cock between his legs too much.
Seeing her nod fills me with unbridled joy. Finally, fucking finally, I’m going to make this omega mine.
I nip at her bottom jaw and murmur, “We’re going to take care of you.
All of us. First thing’s first, I’m going to fuck that tight little cunt and make you squirm, omega.
” I growl out the last word roughly, and she shivers against me, practically melting as she spreads her legs for me, inviting me to do just that.
My aching cock finally finds some relief as I push into her with one hard thrust. She moans as I fill her, as I take her like I’ve longed to take her since practically the day we first met, the night she first began to drive me insane.
I didn’t know then this omega would be my ruin, but here I am, welcoming it all the same.
Her cunt is wet from its prior exertion.
As I start to fuck her, I ask, “Did Colter help you? Did you come for him like you’re going to come for me?
” As I ask the questions, her pussy tightens around my cock, the key sign that she likes being spoken to like this.
“I bet you did. I bet you came for the beta like a good girl. Are you going to be a good girl for your alphas now?”
She nods, although she can barely do so given the hard thrusting I’m giving her.
“Now that I’m inside you, now that I’m fucking you… I’m gonna need to knot you. Are you ready to take my knot?”
“Give me your knot,” she begs. “I need it.”
Hearing her beg for it is all my cock needs to start swelling inside of her.
I don’t stop thrusting, not even as my cock swells to a new, increased girth—a girth that would hurt anyone else, but an omega?
Her body was made to take mine, and all that slick helps.
The knot locks us together, to the point where it’s dangerous to tear a knotted alpha out of an omega.
Until it lessens, until it’s not as swollen, we will be locked at the midsection, with my cock buried deep in her pussy.
Once my knot swells, I moan, the pleasure in me unimaginable. Fucking hell. I never knew it could feel this good. Somebody please tell me how I’m supposed to concentrate on anything ever again when this memory will always be in my mind? She feels so goddamned good.
Beside me, Gideon fists his own cock as he watches me take our omega, and on my other side, Colter does the same—though the beta focuses more on Raeka, while his uncle’s gaze is divided between us.
I fuck her like I’m running a race and I have the strongest need to win and be the first to cross that finish line. The marathon part of her heat will come soon, where stamina will play a role. Right now? All I want to do is come in that sweet pussy.
My knot must hit the right places inside of her, because it’s not long after my knot has swelled in her that she comes for me. She cries out, her body trembling as every muscle in her spasms. Slick gushes from her, giving my knot an even easier time as I fuck her.
Watching her unravel for me while it’s not my mouth or my fingers doing the work, watching her come on my cock… it’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, and I instantly decide to devote the rest of my life to it, to her.
I used to think I didn’t need anyone. What a lie that was. What a joke. I never knew it could feel like this. I never knew it could be like this. She brings things out of me that simply never existed before she fell into my life, and right then I knew I’d never be the same.
Thanks to the sheer size difference between us, I can’t exactly bury my nose in her neck while I’m inside of her, but I arch my back and get as close as I can before a single word slips out of me: “ Mine .”
The word is effortless, easy, and it comes with a conviction I’ve never felt before. She is mine. She’s my omega, my scent match. She has to be. There is no world out there where she doesn’t belong to me.
