Chapter 13
Chapter Thirteen
Once Quin unlocks the front door and pushes it open for me to walk in before him, I step inside and gasp. It's clear that the guys took their time to get the apartment ready before they came looking for me.
The entryway glows with warm light from the pink and white lanterns that hang from the ceiling. It looks beautiful in here.
It takes me a moment to see the pink rose petals that they've scattered throughout the apartment. They're in the kitchen on the counters, all across the living room floor and couch.
In the middle of the living room, where the coffee table used to be, is now a massive pile of nesting materials. They're all folded neatly, set to the side, but the intention is clear.
As I make my way further into the apartment, I see that the trail of petals leads down the hallway and splits off between my door and Lachlan’s.
“We didn’t want to make any assumptions or choices without you, Fireball. We want to give you what you need. Lachlan is willing to move into the pack master bedroom with us, and give up his space, so you can use his room as a nest. Your room was originally supposed to be the pack’s nest. When we knew you would be coming to stay with us, it felt right to put you in there.” Cae’s voice is soft from behind me.
“A nest?” I gasp, turning to face the others. Quin steps up beside me, lacing his fingers with mine. The smaller, intimate size of the room makes so much more sense now.
“I've never made a nest before. Not a real one. In the beginning, when my hormones were all over the place, and I didn't feel safe at home, I never bothered. Then we moved here after forming the pack.” Quin shrugs. “I wanted to build one. It's not that I didn't… I just wasn't sure how. And I felt silly asking someone. Like, how does an Omega not know how to be an Omega?”
I really hate the way his voice trembles as he speaks and the way that his hand shakes in mine. He should feel free to be himself.
He should be able to follow his instincts wherever they take him and know that no matter what, he's not alone.
I don't think that it's the Alphas’ faults that he hasn't. I think that he was scared and that he needed someone else instead.
Maybe someone like me…
“My room. That feels like the right place to build our nest. But I don’t want to wait that long.” I smile, looking up at the guys. “Let's build it out here, just this once.”
“Okay, Harlow.” Quin nods.
“Let's do it together,” I offer, pulling him into the living room. “I've always liked to have massive piles of fluffy pillows and blankets. Lachlan, can you go grab your blanket and pillows off your bed? Cae, you do the same.” The Alphas quickly dash down the hall to get what we need.
I drop to my knees and tug Quin with me. He kneels at my side, watching me with a look I can't quite read.
Is that admiration again?
“Anything else you want me to grab, Omegas?” Lachlan asks as he steps back into the living room with his bedding.
“Actually, yes, can you please grab the blankets and pillows off of my bed as well?” I ask sweetly, giving him a pouty look. Lachlan smirks back at me but nods. “Oh! And the stash that's in my closet.” I haven't had much time to add any other blankets to the start of my nest there, but the blanket that I borrowed from Quin, Cae’s soft blanket, and the hoodie and plushie dragon from Lach had to be included.
“I feel so off balance. I just feel like I'm gonna fuck this entire thing up. Maybe you should do it, and I'll watch.” Quin shakes his head and moves like he's about to get to his feet and try to run away. I snap my arm out, wrap my hand around his wrist and keep him pinned beside me. He's stronger than me, so if he wanted to, he could probably fight my hold, but he doesn't.
“Absolutely not. Building a nest is about instinct. You don't have to know how to do it. There is no knowing. You just do what feels right to you. No one ever showed me how to build a nest either, I just made one. Just do what feels right.” I sit back on my heels, wanting him to make the first move. I don't want him to simply copy my actions. I want to see what his instincts drive him to do. Quin winces. He looks slightly uncomfortable, and he's very clearly unsure.
I watch as he carefully grabs one of the fluffy cream blankets off the top of the pile, items that the guys either already had on hand or went out and purchased special for this occasion. I'm not entirely sure which. They had to go buy the lantern lights as well as the rose petals, so it's possible they went to the store before looking for me.
Quin lays the blanket down on the floor in front of us, then grabs me by the waist before spinning me quickly. With a gentle push, I land on top of the blanket with a startled huff. I can't hold in my giggle, though, as Quin climbs on top of me and starts to scent mark me.
I let the full force of my scent meet his, scent marking him right back.
When the Alphas join us, Quin sits back up, releasing me.
“That was a good start. It doesn't matter how you make your nest. All that matters is that you do it exactly how you want it to be. I don't really know how it works, sharing a nest with another Omega,” I add, murmuring. I've never shared anything with another Omega before. Well, other than my mother, but that does not count at all. She raised me, so of course I had to share things with her.
“I've never shared anything with another Omega, either. I… I don't think I would have wanted to share with anyone but you.” Quin frowns, shaking his head. “Actually, no, there isn't another Omega I would ever want to share anything with. Just you, Harlow.” Quin reaches for my hand and helps me up off the blanket, pulling me into his arms.
“Good.” I smile but get nervous and start nibbling my bottom lip. “I have something I want to tell you. I've had a crush on you for a while now. I had a crush on Cae in high school. Before he went and ruined it, that is,” I tease.
“Really?” Quin looks so shocked, and I nod.
“Yes. I really liked your scent. I always have, something that only got worse after I perfumed as an Omega. After we both did. Then you were always so kind to me… It's pretty easy to fall for you. The hardest thing to do was resisting, honestly.” I shrug. “Part of the reason why I didn't want to move in was because I thought it would make everything harder. I thought you guys would figure me out, that I would give myself away and be super obvious about my feelings.” I cringe.
“Am I the only one you've never had a crush on, then?” Lachlan asks with a smile, but I can see by the look in his eyes that he's slightly hurt by the idea. Both he and Cae wait impatiently.
“Oh, no. I've had a crush on you the whole time as well. But you had a girlfriend. Another Omega…” I growl those last words, and Quin tenses beside me. His scent spiking with jealousy, just like mine. “And then you joined this pack. Mating with Quin.” I shrug. “You were just as off limits as these two.”
“If it makes you feel any better, she cheated on me because I never really gave a shit about our relationship. We were teenagers, after all. I started losing it after that because I thought something was wrong with me. I was incapable of loving someone else, the way they deserve to be loved. But it's easy to see now what was really happening. I was already falling for someone else.” Lachlan glances at Quin. “And definitely had feelings for someone that was not my girlfriend…”
“Quin,” I nod, but Lachlan shakes his head. Quin flinches, but Lachlan throws his hands up, cursing.
“Fuck, that's not what I meant. Yes, I was falling for Quin, but he wasn't the only one. Every time I went over to Cae's there was another little Omega running around. She also happened to be at our school.” Lachlan smirks. “So everywhere I turned, there she was.” Lachlan and Cae sit down on the couch facing us, staying just far enough out of the way that Quin and I can put together this nest without their interference.
“Oh…” I frown. “So this whole time, we could have been something? You're telling me that we all had crushes on each other…but just never acted on them?” I let out a huffy laugh, but it's anything but funny. This is actually very frustrating.
“We're acting on it now. That's what matters, right?” Quin pulls me in close to his side, nodding to the pile of blankets and pillows, including the ones that the guys grabbed for us.
“I guess we are.” I start grabbing the blankets that don't have any of our scents on them and lay them out in a circle. Then I took the blanket that Quin just scent marked and lay it over the top.
Quin seems to catch on to what I'm doing and starts adding the pillows as well. Then we take the blankets with everyone's scents and lay them on top.
The nest is big enough for all four of us to fit comfortably with two blankets left over that we can use if we get cold.
“You two get in. I want your scents all over it,” I demand.
“This is only temporary,” Cae says as he climbs into the nest. I frown, shaking my head. The fog of heat rolling under my skin intensifies as I watch the flex of the muscles in his back.
“Shirt off. Both of you,” I add, crossing my arms over my chest and watching both Alphas carefully. When Lachlan tries to toss his shirt to the side, I snatch it out of his hands and add it to the nest.
Once both Alphas are in, that's when I realize what Cae said.
“What's only temporary?”
“This nest. The apartment. We're gonna move to a house. Somewhere that has enough room to give you both a real nest.” Cae's words hurt my feelings a little bit. This is a real nest… I guess he senses my discomfort because he shakes his head and reaches for me. I fall against his chest with a happy purr. “That's not what I meant, little Omega. I just meant that you and Quin deserve a bigger space that we can dedicate to the both of you.”
“The both of us?”
“Yes. You didn't think we were going to let you leave us now, did you?” Cae nuzzles my neck, and I start purring instantly.
I can tell that my instincts have kicked everything up a notch because the desire to scent mark the hell out of Cae right now is nearly overpowering all of my other thoughts.
Instead of fighting against it, I give in. But first…
I pull away from the Alpha and kneel in the middle of the nest. I start pulling off every layer of clothing, wanting to remove any scent from my body that doesn't belong to one of these men.
I tossed my discarded clothes outside the nest, now only in my bra in underwear and climb back into the Alpha's waiting arms.
I nuzzle up under his chin and mark him with my scent. My desire rises, and my scent spikes with need as I breathe in Cae's scent now that he's slathered with mine.
It's fucking intoxicating.
But I need more.
Next, I turn to Lachlan. I straddle his hips and sit in his lap. His large, warm hands grip my ass easily.
“Feeling needy?” Lach groans, and I nod, marking him next.
Quin doesn't wait for me to finish before he's pulling me away from the Alpha and into his arms. While I had been distracted, he had stripped to his tight black briefs. The other Omega lies back in the nest between his Alphas, helping me settle against the stiff cock hidden by thin cotton fabric, and reaches up to push his fingers into my hair.
“You're so beautiful, Harlow. You are everything. Everything I didn't realize I needed, and everything I've always desperately wanted. I hope you choose us, but if you don't, I need you to know that I'm not letting you go. You can say no, if that's what you want to do… but I'll just have to stalk you…” I've never heard Quin’s voice so deep or the growling quality to his tone. He sounds aggressive and possessive, and everything Omegas are not. He sounds fucking perfect, and slick immediately gushes from my center.
That is quite possibly the hottest thing anyone has ever said to me. Which should be concerning, considering it was basically a threat.
I can leave and say no if I want, but I also can't? Why is that so fucking sexy? Maybe because I feel exactly the same way about him…
“You think I don't feel the same? That I would ever let you leave me, Omega? You are mine, now. And I'm going to fucking keep you.” I'm not sure what possesses me, what demon comes over me, but I move quickly leaning forward and sink my teeth into Quin's neck.
His pack lets out deep, throaty, desperate moans to match his as his blood fills my mouth. My body shivers with need as ecstasy fills my veins.
We link instantly, the bond accepted, not just by Quin, but by the other two as well.
As pack lead, Cae will have to bite me too, to complete the bond, but I've just made a claim of my own.
On Quin and on his pack.
Quin's hips thrust upward, his hardness rubbing against my slick soaked center.
I release him from between my teeth and sit up, my hands pressed against his chest as I breathe heavily. Lachlan and Cae don't need my bite, but the instinct to mark them as mine overpowers the knowledge of how pack bonds are made.
But first. I lean forward and press my lips to Quin's. He groans low in his throat, a feral little growl escaping from his chest as his tongue slips out to lick his own blood off of mine.
“I want you to be my first, Quin,” I whisper as I sit up. “I want Cae to crawl to me on his knees while you are buried inside me.”
I'm breathless as I climb off of Quin and turn to Lachlan next. He must have enjoyed the show or possibly heard my dirty words because his chest heaves with every breath. I feel the blankets shift as Cae kneels.
The informal bond I created is buzzing beneath my skin, and I can feel not only his desire but also his love.
“Give me your neck, Alpha,” I demand. It's a sign of submission, something Omegas do instinctively.
I'm not very dominant, but when Lachlan tilts his chin upward and his head to the side, I growl, lunging for him. He catches my weight easily and holds me in his strong arms as I sink my teeth into his neck.
“Fuck,” Lachlan grunts, making me smile against his neck. My teeth sink into his flesh, the honeyed flavor of his blood mixed with Quin's cinnamon, coating my tongue.
I moan, wanting more.
“I want you to fuck me and knot me while Quin comes down my throat,” I growl before pressing my bloody lips to his.
“She's fucking feral,” Cae says from beside me, sounding excited by the idea. “Do you want us to help you through your heat, Harlow?”
“Duh,” I hiss as I climb off of Lachlan and move to the opposite side of the nest from Cae.
I lean back against the pillows lining the wall behind our nest with my legs spread and watch the Alpha. My soon-to-be pack lead.
“Give me your mark. Your bond. Give me your pack, so I can take your Omega’s cock.”
Cae smirks. “It would be my pleasure.” I watch him as he gets to his knees and drops his hands to the floor. He crawls to me like that across the nest, and it is quite possibly one of the hottest things I have ever seen.
The Alpha is on his hands and knees, crawling for me.
When he reaches me, he drops his head and tilts his neck out in submission. The light brown hair that falls across his forehead brushes the top of my breast as he braces above my hips. I growl, leaning forward, and sink my teeth into his neck.
I pull back and watch as little droplets of blood drip down his collar bone and onto the firm muscle of his chest. Cae drops down and presses a kiss to my inner thigh before nibbling the delicate skin.
He works his way up my body, doing the same to my stomach and then above my breast.
When he finally reaches my neck, he kisses it and leans back to look in my eyes.
“Will you accept this bond? Will you let us love you for the rest of our days?”
“Yes,” I whisper. Cae gives me one of his signature cocky smiles before leaning in and sinking his teeth into my neck.
The small sparks of bond I had felt in my chest earlier explode through my entire system, lighting up my soul and leaving me breathless.
I can feel each of them like they are part of my soul.
They all have their bonds wide open for me, sending feelings of devotion, need, and desire.
And love.
Pure love.
“My mates…” tears fill my eyes as I say the words, looking from my Alphas to my Omega.
“Our heats…” Quin murmurs, his eyes falling shut. The ripple of his body responding to the intense need pulling me under has me clenching my thighs closed in anticipation. As my scent intensifies with the onset of my heat, Quin’s own seems to be matching in response. “You’re pulling me under, Omega. This need… It's like nothing I have ever felt. I'm going to fuck you now, Harlow.” With quick movements he loses the last piece of clothing covering him, and the flush of pink across his hard cock has me squirming. He moves until he's grabbing my hips and pulling me down further into the center of the nest. He practically shoves Cae out of his way. “Going to fill you with my seed, Omega. Do you want to carry my baby? Fuck, I need to be inside you…”
My mouth pops open, but the words don't scare me away. They're hot as fuck.
I probably can't get pregnant during this heat cycle, but the cramps won't let up unless I'm pumped so full of cum that it runs down my thighs for days.
I reach for Quin, touching his skin as he presses kisses across my body, showering me with love bites that will leave marks.
Quin surprises me and the Alphas when he rips my thong off my hips before yanking the straps of my bra down and exposing my breasts. Grinding into me as he takes in the sight of my nipples, Quin releases a soft purr as I lift my back so he can unhook the bra and remove it the rest of the way.
“You are the sexiest thing I've ever seen. I want to give you my mark…” Quin whispers, and I'm already nodding.
“Yes, please, mark me,” I need all of their marks. I want everyone to know I belong to each of them. Caelum’s mark will solidify the bond between all of us.
Quin smirks, leaning forward and taking one of my nipples between his lips. He sucks the peaked bud before biting it gently, then using his tongue to soothe the sting.
I'm a gasping, panting mess under him, especially because of our new bond, I can feel how fucking horny it makes him.
How badly he wants me. How badly watching him and me together makes the Alphas want us.
Quin’s slick fills the air, and it's the sweetest fucking scent. It fills my mind with so many naughty ideas.
Imagining Cae as he buries his face in Quin’s ass, licking up every delicious ounce of his Omegas slick as Quin buries himself balls deep inside me…
Or Lachlan knotting Quin while Quin fucks Cae, and Cae knots me…
I shiver. Jesus. I'm depraved.
“I think our Omega is having some very dirty thoughts…” Lachlan growls, and I know he can feel everything I'm feeling through the bond. They all can.
“I want you to come inside me,” I moan, desperately reaching for Quin. He's taking his time exploring my body and torturing me, wanting to drag out this moment. Enjoy it.
I know that, but I need him so badly.
When his teeth sink into my breast at the same time he plunges two fingers inside my center, I scream. My back arches as my pussy pulses around his fingers, the orgasm ripping through my system, setting my veins on fire.
But he's not done with me yet. Quin licks the damaged skin of my breast, the intensity of the pleasure almost more than I can take.
Almost.
His thumb rubs perfect circles over my clit as he pumps his fingers in and out.
“You're so wet with your slick, your cum is dripping down my fingers. Can you feel it? Can you feel how badly you want me? I need to be inside you, Harlow.” Quin presses one more kiss to my breast before kneeling over me. He spreads my legs wide, helping me to wrap them around his waist.
I look down, watching as he grips his cock and lines the tip up with my center.
The Alphas move at the same time, one on either side of me. Lachlan starts pressing kisses all over my chest and neck and cheek, while Cae reaches over and wraps his fist around Quin’s cock, jerking it.
“I cannot wait to be knot deep inside you, Fireball, as Quin fucks us both.” Caelum’s filthy words make Quin's cock twitch, precum dripping from the tip.
I'm entranced as Cae dips his fingers into my center and brings my slick to his lips. He licks his fingers, sucking them and making obscene noises.
When he leans in and presses his lips to mine, I kiss him back easily. I reach up with my free hand and bury it in his hair, holding him against me. My tongue tangles with his, and I taste the flavor of my own slick.
I've never been so fucking glad for my heat to come before.
“This is my first heat with the pack,” Quin whimpers. “It's like my soul knew I was waiting for you, Harlow. Like our bond wasn't complete without you.” Quin finally slides inside me, his cock stretching me deliciously. Omegas are built to please, so it's no surprise that Quin's cock is huge and feels like fucking heaven.
He rolls his hips just right, the tip of his cock rubbing something deep inside me, the feeling so intense that I'm trembling beneath him.
My hands claw the sheets, my back arches, and my skin is sweaty. I'm panting and moaning, screaming his name, burying my heels in his ass, trying to pull him in harder against me.
Caelum’s fingers trail down my body, the tip of his finger gathers slick from my center to caress my clit.
Quin falls forward, his hands dropping on either side of my head. He draws out of me before pushing back in at a maddeningly slow pace. It feels so good, and I can't imagine how anything will ever compare.
Quin chuckles like he can hear my thoughts. Maybe the bond makes my thoughts more obvious…
“Just wait until Cae locks you on his knot. If you think being fucked feels good, just wait until you have an Alpha's knot in your pussy, and my cock buried in your ass, Harlow…” Quin’s growled words are so filthy, that the image he paints is more than I can handle.
I scream out his name, one hand still buried in Caelum’s hair, and the other slams into a pillow.
I come hard, my back arching, my body trembling…
He might be shy and quiet most of the time, but when it comes to sex, Quin is very confident.
“Fuck, you're so sexy, Harlow. Such a good Omega,” Lachlan praises me, reigniting the fire in my veins.
My pussy clenches around Quinton’s cock, as the Omega grunts above me.
“Fill you up so good with my cum…” Quin murmurs, his arm shaking with the effort to keep holding himself up as his cock pulses inside me. The heat of his cum fills my center, making me needy for more.
“Cae…” I moan as Quin pulls out of me and falls back against the nest. I look up, smiling, when I find that the other Omega's cock is still hard. Perks of being an Omega. Little to no wait until we’re ready to go again. Luckily, when an Omega is in heat, their Alphas can go longer and more often, because of their ruts.
But male Omegas can come over and over again and still keep their cocks hard.
Cae grabs my hips and lifts me into his lap. He's sitting back on his ass, his legs spread out in front of him. I wrap my arms around his neck, pushing my fingers into his hair. His scent is so strong, and when he starts purring, my eyes fall shut.
“I never thought I'd hear that sound…” I confess.
“I never thought I'd have you in my arms like this.” Cae leans forward and presses a kiss to my lips. It's intimate and sweet.
Right until he slaps my ass. I giggle, though.
“I'm going to knot this pussy while Lachlan knots Quin. Then the Omega is going to slide his dick into your ass, Fireball,” Cae growls, before biting my shoulder.
I gasp, but nod my head. “Yes, yes, please, Alpha. Please give it to me.”
“Fuck me, Harlow. Fuck me while I tell you how desperately I love you… How badly I've always loved you, even when I didn't know what love looked like.” Cae leans back just enough so that way I can grab the shaft of his dick. I push the tip to my entrance and slide down, moaning because he's even bigger than Quin.
The base of his cock is already inflating with his knot, and as I lift myself up and then drop down, I can feel the pressure at my entrance.
Quin is on his hands and knees beside us now, with Lachlan behind him. I rest my head on Caelum’s shoulder as I roll my hips. The pressure and the friction have my eyes fluttering shut until the sight of Lachlan pumping his fingers in and out of Quin’s ass registers in my lust fogged mind.
I gasp, and my pussy clenches around Cae's cock. He grunts, his grip tightening on my hips.
“Fuck,” I whimper.
I fuck myself on Caelum’s cock harder as I watch Lachlan line his dick up with Quin’s slick ass.
He slides in with a deep moan, throwing his head back as the other Omega goes feral.
“Oh, fuck! Yes, Lachlan, Fuck me harder!” Quin moans, and I can see the way that the Alpha's knot swells from the words.
I'm so distracted by the two men fucking, but Cae steals my attention back to him.
“Fuck, I'm ready to come…” Cae grunts, and I smile.
“Me, too. They're so hot together,” I admit on a gasp.
Cae reaches his hand around my backside and gathers slick from my entrance before dragging his fingers up to my ass.
He presses them into the tight hole, working them in and out slowly. The pressure causes my eyes to cross as I come again, trying to bear down on the knot Cae is keeping from me.
The sensation is intense and unexpected. Especially because it feels so fucking good.
“Just imagine Quin’s cock…” Cae whispers.
He keeps working me like that, and it's not long before I feel like I'm going to come again. Quin cries out, and Lachlan grunts.
“Now…” Cae hisses as Lach grabs the other Omega by the hips and moves him behind me. Quin moans, his hands gripping his Alphas thighs on either side of me as Cae removes his fingers.
The press of the Omega’s tip to my ass makes my pussy flutter around Caelum’s cock.
The Alpha grunts, and as he starts to come, he pushes my body down until his knot fills me completely. We're locked together as I start to come, dropping my head forward against his shoulder.
Quin’s teeth latch on to the sensitive skin of my neck but don't break through as his Alpha thrusts him forward, and he slips into my ass an inch at a time.
Quin comes fast, crying out my name as his cock pulses inside me, right up against Caelum’s.
I am delirious with pleasure, barely able to form a coherent thought. I'm sandwiched between Cae and Quin as Lachlan fucks Quin into my ass.
Every tiny movement has renewed shocks of pleasure flowing through my system.
I come over and over, a writhing mess of pleasure.
“Scent matches…” Quin murmurs, and tears fill my eyes. They’re my scent matches.
“Fuck, I love you. I love you…” I cry out, wishing we could stay here, just like this.
Always.
My pack. My home. My everything.
My body trembles with pleasure, and I gasp as my heat intensifies. I’m straddling Lachlan, my slick pussy, rubbing up and down over his length, but he's not inside me. The tip of his cock teases my clit while the knot forming at his base promises to ruin me.
The grunts and growls coming from the side of the room where Cae fucks Quin against the wall makes the desperation for my Alphas knot intense.
Lach grips my hips, staring up at me, and through the bond, I can feel his love for me.
“I love you,” I tell him, keeping my eyes on my Alpha.
“I love you, too, Harlow,” he growls before flipping us over. His cock slides into me easily, but the stretch is so wonderful. He's so big and so long, and it reaches every little spot inside of me until I'm a writhing mess under him. I grip his shoulders, wrap my legs around his waist, and raise my hips to meet his thrusts.
“Give me your knot, Alpha,” I demand. Lachlan smirks.
“Anything for you, Harlow,” he growls.
After he pulls me farther down the nest, the blankets shift as Quin crawls onto the bed next to us. From over his shoulder I can see Cae holding the Omega captive as slides a large hand around his side to grab Quin’s leaking cock. I whimper before Lach brings me back to the moment.
Dipping down to suck the skin of my breast, his beard brushing against my sensitive nipples, Lach trails his lips up to the opposite side of my neck from where Cae marked me. His teeth break skin as he pushes in and out of me, toppling me into another orgasm that has slick gushing out. The sensations filtering through the bond push me into another earth-shattering orgasm. Lach uses the moment to thrust his knot into place, locking me to him and causing the orgasm to last.
I briefly check out as my bonds settle, and my heart slows down. While we wait for his knot to go down, the heat recesses enough for me to start to fall asleep while Lach tends his bite. When he finally is able to pull free, I am a boneless mess.
My eyes begin to flutter shut as the Alphas arrange us in the middle of the nest. Lach takes the time to clean me up some, licking the traces of our Omega from my lips, before settling behind me. After doing the same for Quin, Cae snuggles behind the Omega, who pulls me into his chest with a content purr.
“Will you be our Valentine, Omega?” Cae's quiet question and love radiating through the feeling in my chest have me teary-eyed as I kiss the skin of Quin’s chest.
“Forever.”
