Chapter 19
Chapter Nineteen
Stomping my way to the front doors of Taron’s bar, I fix my face before stepping inside. My dress looks like a disco ball, hugs my curves perfectly, hits mid-thigh, and shows off my cleavage the way I like. I wore my sparkling silver platform heels to match, in hopes they would improve my mood.
So far, the attempt has been unsuccessful.
Why the fuck am I so grumpy? Saturdays should never be spent being irritated.
I’ve been looking forward to making these damn houses all week, but instead of being excited, I’m overstimulated and annoyed by every little thing.
Is it because I worked way more than I should have this week?
I got so many ornaments made and managed to restock before the farm opened for the Christmas Village today.
I even made enough to cover next weekend as well.
None of this explains my agitation with the world at the moment.
“Plum!” Sable rushes me, pulling me in for a hug once I’ve removed my jacket and made my way further into the bar. She squeezes the hell out of me, and thank fuck for best friends, because I instantly relax.
Not completely, but enough to hug her back just as hard.
“Missed you,” she murmurs as she releases me. So far, it looks like it's just Sable, her mates, and the maid of honor, Felicity.
“Am I early?” I ask, looking around at the room that's still being set up with several folding tables and chairs. There are dozens of shopping bags on the bar as well.
“Yeah. Stella and Val should be here in a little over an hour.” Sable nods, hooking our arms and dragging me further into the bar.
And my irritation is back. Why the shit did I think I was supposed to be here at seven? Gah!
“Reinforcements!” Sable cheers, and Felicity snaps her head around, eyes wide when she sees me.
“Thank fuck. Here, you start setting up these tables. Each bag has one full kit.” She jumps right in, wasting no time on pleasantries. I’ve always liked that about her. She takes no shit and is confident as hell. It’s easy to see why Stella claims her as her best friend.
She’s got beautiful black curls, brown eyes, and dark brown skin. Her sparkly graham cracker brown dress has gumdrops down the front, but her shoes are what draw my attention. They have gingerbread men on them.
“Those are so cute!” I say as I get busy with my assigned task.
“Thanks, Hun. They’re my mom’s. Sadly, I have to give them back.” Felicity lowers her voice like we’re sharing something top secret as she whispers, “She didn’t say when I have to give them back though.” She then winks and swiftly returns to her task.
By the time we’re done setting up, everyone has arrived except the happy couple.
Benson, Nick, and Kai all come over to greet me, and I try really hard not to be an epically irritated bitch about them distracting me. There is nothing worse than being locked into a task, only for a man to show up and start bugging you for attention.
Let a woman work, fellas!
We’re done now, though, so I head to the bar to grab a drink, hoping it will help me chill the fuck out.
“You’re very tense, Omega,” Nick growls in a husky, sexy tone behind me, leaning into me and crowding me against the bar.
“More than just tense,” I growl right back, but much more aggressively and a lot less sexily. “I’m also very easily aggravated.”
“Mmm, do you need someone to give you an attitude adjustment?” he fucking purrs, his lips brushing against my earlobe with every word. I shiver as the sensation sends tingles across my body.
“No,” I snap, glaring at him over my shoulder. The smug alpha smirks, tilting his head to the side as we lock eyes. “How are you going to adjust my attitude, Alpha? Are you going to spank me?” I challenge, not backing down from his stare as he radiates alpha dominance.
“Tempting. Very tempting,” he murmurs. “I have a better idea though.” He takes my hand and drags me away from the bar. When I gripe at him about my drink, he shoots a look back at me that screams, ‘Keep it up.’
He moves through the scattered guests quickly and into the back hall. Memories of him pinning me to these walls resurface, and I bite my lip. I assume he’s going to repeat the move now. Instead, he tugs me to the supply closet.
I’m too stunned to speak as he pushes me through the door in front of him. Especially when I see Kai is already in here. The beta spins around with wide eyes until he sees it's us, and then he turns back to the shelf he’d been searching.
“Why’d you send me in here to get the cake cutter if you were just going to stomp in here and do it yourself?” Kai complains, confusing the hell out of me.
“What?” I ask. Individually, I understood those words, but I have no idea what the man is talking about.
“The cake cutter is already out there with the cake,” Nick responds, and then the words click, finally making sense. Nick sent him in here to look for something he already knew wasn’t in here. This is a setup.
“Well then, why the heck…” Kai trails off as he spins around to face us once again. The alpha is still behind me, so I don’t know what Kai is seeing on his face, but it seems the beta is catching on as well.
“We’re going to need those, however,” Nick says as he steps past me and points to something behind Kai.
“Towels?” I frown. But the way Kai’s cheeks turn bright red as the alpha grabs a stack off the shelf clears the confusion right up. “Oh my god,” I gasp, eyes bugging out. “You want to fuck me in a supply closet for our first time?”
“No, Omega. I’m saving that for tonight. Right now, you’re going to take your panties off so I can put them in my pocket, and then you’re going to climb into Kai’s arms so he can hold you open for me,” Nick says, watching me as I freak out a little.
“Jesus, fuck,” Kai groans, his eyes falling shut. “That’s… You’re a real asshole.” The beta’s words are harsh, but there’s a noticeable bulge in the front of his black slacks.
“Think you’ll need one of these? You know, so you don’t make a mess of your pants?” Nick smirks, holding a towel out for Kai.
“You want me to hold Plum in my arms as she wraps her legs around my waist, and you’ll get her off?” Kai clarifies.
“Fast learner.” Nick smirks, and I prop my hands on my hips.
“And if I say no?” I ask. Both men look at me as I lift a brow at them. Kai looks relieved and disappointed all in one. Nick, on the other hand, looks like he’s scheming.
“You’re right.” The alpha finally nods. “The position is no good.” Kai and I watch as Nick places a rag on the floor and then gestures to it. “Kneel.”
Kai glances from the rag to the alpha and then over to me. I hold my breath as I wait to see what he’ll do. Slowly, he lowers to one knee, and then two, and looks up at me. Nick crooks his finger at me, and I obey like he used his bark on me.
“Thong off, Omega,” he rumbles, and once again, I obey like he’s put me in a trance.
Maybe he has, using all that yummy alpha goodness against me. Or maybe I’m curious about what happens next…
I step out of my thong and place it in Nick’s waiting hand.
“Good girl.”
“This is what I imagine my hell will look like if I die,” Kai grunts, taking the towels from Nick. “Fuck, Plum, your scent… Sweet peppermint…” The beta’s eyes fall shut as he shakes his head.
“Keep your eyes open, and no touching, Beta,” Nick barks as he positions me directly in front of Kai. His eyes snap open, and he looks up at me.
The desire in his scent is just as clear as the desperation in his eyes. I nibble my lip as Nick presses in behind me, his hardness rubbing against my ass in a delicious way that makes me gasp.
“Fuck yes, Sweet Plum, let us hear everything.” Kai groans, clenching the towels in tight fists.
Nick bends forward, placing a kiss on my shoulder as he lifts my leg with a hand under my knee. Kai’s pupils blow wide as the alpha drapes my leg over his shoulder.
Watching his face as he lowers his eyes to my center makes my heart fucking race. Nick caresses my thigh, leaving a trail of tingling flesh as he lifts the hem of my dress further up my hip. Kai licks his lips as he takes in the sight of my slick center. So close he could lean in and taste me.
“Fuck. You’re so wet, Plum. What’s turning you on, baby?
How fucking badly this is killing me right now?
” Kai asks as the look in his eyes turns half feral with need.
He groans loudly, turning his face until his cheek presses against my thigh, but he keeps his eyes on my pussy, his lips parted as his breathing gets heavier.
Done letting Kai have his fill of the sight, Nick presses two fingers over my clit, and my head falls back against his chest.
“You look so fucking sexy like this, Plum,” Nick growls. “I can’t wait to have you under me as I bury my knot inside your perfect pussy.”
“Shit,” Kai hisses, and I lazily look down in time to see him stuffing a towel in the front of his slacks. I lift a brow at him. “This is fucking torture, but it’s still hot as fuck, and I am very weak when it comes to you.”
Nick pushes two fingers inside me, and my lips part on a sigh as he pumps them in and out slowly.
“When you come, I want you to scream his name. Remind him of everything he lost,” Nick growls in my ear, and I gasp, slick coats his hand as my pussy clenches around his fingers.
“Fuck…” Kai grunts, watching as Nick picks up his pace, his palm hitting my clit perfectly with every thrust of his fingers. My legs shake, but the alpha has his free arm wrapped around my waist now.
“Do you think he wants to clean your cum up with his tongue, baby?”
“Yeah, I fucking do.” Kai nods frantically, and the scratch of his stubble against my sensitive inner thigh tips me over the edge. I cry out as the pleasure courses through my entire body.
