Chapter 40
Lia
Pain.
It’s the only thing I know as my instincts attempt to drown me. All around me are their scents, wafting up my nose and threatening to choke off my lungs. I want it.
I need more of it.
“Walker,” I whimper.
“I’m right here, beautiful,” he growls as my body yearns to position itself for him. “Let me take care of you. I promise I can make you feel so good.”
The bed bows to my left before I hear Knox’s voice. “That mouth of yours looks a little lonely, Sunshine. Want me to keep it company?”
Walker snarls. “Eli.”
The bed moves to my right. “I’m here.”
Walker’s voice moves to the shell of my ear as he hunches over me. “I think that clit of yours is a bit lonely, too. Why don’t we let Eli tend to that.”
Hands are all over me as my body moves into position. The pain is too much, and I’m so tired of fighting. I swore off Alphas when my ARS almost killed me. I swore off the pack life when my previous Alphas tossed me to the curb after all of us realized it wasn’t going to work.
But they never treated me the way Walker, Eli, and Knox do.
Like I’m something precious.
“You’re drenched, Alley Cat,” Eli says as his fingers slosh through my wetness.
I’m not even sure how my underwear got off, to be honest. All I know is that when I surface from my thoughts, Walker is hunched over me as my ass juts into the air, crowding me with his shadow while Eli’s fingers strum me like an instrument.
Something taps against my lips.
“Open wide for me, Lia,” Knox says, his voice clouded with lust. “I want that throat of yours.”
A whimper escapes from between my lips before they part, and I feel the whole of his cock slide along my tongue. He’s warm, and my eyes flutter closed. More. I need more of them. All of them. Every single part, and every single inch.
Another cramp races through my body, clamping my throat around Knox’s intrusion. His hand buries itself into my hair as he pulls out and slides back in, making me gag around his girth.
His snarl shoots goosebumps along my body as someone helps me out of my cardigan. My body is manipulated gently until all of my clothes have fallen to the wayside. I shiver in the cool air of the room.
Before the scent of grapes overtakes my instincts.
“Walker,” I mumble around Knox’s cock.
“That’s it,” he says as he kisses my bare shoulder. “Just relax for me, beautiful. We’ve got it from here.”
Eli presses his finger against my clit, making me see stars just as Walker notches himself at my entrance. I’m overwhelmed with them as someone strokes their fingers through my hair. Knox, maybe?
I don’t know. It’s hard to keep up.
With every roll of Walker’s hips, his cock spreads me wider. My legs frog out, my back arched and my ass in the air for him. His hand cracks down on it with a smack that pulses my walls around him. My throat tugs at Knox, and it makes the hand in my hair tighten.
Ah, so that is Knox’s hand.
“More,” I mumble around his dick. “I need more.”
Walker chuckles and the sound crawls up my spine. “So greedy. I think I like you like this, beautiful. Should make you greedy more often.”
His slow entrance is torturous, and I try to buck my ass back against him. He cracks another spank against one of my cheeks, and I can feel myself jiggling for his viewing pleasure. Why won’t he give me all of him? Why is he dragging this out? My god, this is torture.
Splendid, amazing torture.
“So eager for us,” Walker says as his hands touch down onto the bed on either side of my head. “You sure you can handle this?”
“Please,” I mumble as spit dribbles down my chin. “I need you, Alpha.”
“And I need you, my Omega,” Walker purrs in my ear. “Eli?”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t let up. Knox?”
“What’s up, bossman?”
“Fuck that pretty little mouth of hers until she’s about to come. Then, pull out. I want to hear her cry out for me.”
Walker draws back until only his cock head is inside of me before he surges forward. Stars twinkle behind my eyelids as Knox slides all the way down my throat, making me gag. I grind down against Eli’s fingers as electricity shoots through the marrow of my bones.
I need more.
All of them, at once.
The sounds of wet skin slapping wet skin quickly fills the room as Walker blankets me with his body.
My curves lurch with every pound against my hips.
Knox tilts my head in such a way that every time Walker thrusts against me, it pushes my throat against his cock.
And every time Walker pulls away, it pulls me with him.
Ecstasy doesn’t even begin to describe how good it feels.
“Such a good girl for us,” Eli whispers as he kisses the crook of my neck.
Yes.
Good girl.
That’s what I want to be.
Their good girl.
My instincts drag me under as they use my body.
The slopping wet sounds of Walker’s cock has nothing on the slurping of my mouth around Knox’s.
Eli peppers my shoulder with kisses, sending goosebumps trickling along my skin.
I whimper around Knox’s cock as Eli’s ministrations speed up, sending me closer to a spiraling edge that I both crave and fear.
“Goddamn it, beautiful,” Walker snarls against the shell of my ear. “So tight for me. Been waiting for this. Waiting for you. Never gonna let you go.”
“Alpha,” I moan, though it’s choked off my Knox’s dick.
“Knox,” Walker barks. “Out.”
The cock is freed from my throat with a line of spit from my lower lip to the tip of Knox’s cock.
I groan as Walker picks up the pace, pounding against me so hard that Eli’s headboard thwacks against the wall.
Fire builds in my veins, and a need so strong it brings tears to my eyes builds within my gut.
My toes curl as a wave of lust rolls up my legs, making its way over my body.
“Alpha,” I cry out on a half-whimper, half-sob. “I—I need—I, uh…”
“Tell me,” Walker growls as he pounds against me with relentless fury. “Tell me what you need so I can give it to you, Omega.”
The words slip out like butter, like they were always meant for him. A desperate plea I didn’t even ask my prior pack for. A plea I’ve always known was his the instant I scented him at the Blossom Festival all those weeks ago.
My scent match.
My fate.
My destiny.
I’m ready for him to be mine.
“Mark me,” I whimper. “Make me yours.”
Walker’s hips stutter before I feel my hole being spread. The wet plop of our bodies together slows down as the suction of his knot overtakes my mind. He stuffs me full only to pull it out, and I back my ass into him.
“Alpha, please,” I whine. “I’ll be good, I swear.”
“Mine.”
He stuffs his growing knot back into my body as slick dribbles down the insides of my thighs. It’s my undoing.
My orgasm rockets through me as his knot swells, pressing against the underside of my clit that Eli relentlessly plays with. My legs lock and I bite down into the pillow, my moans and groans swallowed up by fabric that smells exactly like Knox.
I don’t feel the bite of Walker’s teeth, though.
“Alpha,” I whisper breathlessly.
He growls as he wiggles his knot inside of me, like he’s trying to push himself even deeper into my body. My belly feels heavy as he pours into me, thread after thread of hot arousal filling me up.
My head spins. The room around me tilts on its own axis.
I still don’t feel his teeth.
“Walker, I meant it,” I say breathlessly, the haze of my heat clearing enough for me to reach out and wrap my hand around his wrist. “I knew you were mine the moment I smelled you in the wind at that festival. It scared me to death, but not anymore. I want to be yours.”
Eli’s hand slips from beneath my body as Walker’s nose nuzzles along the crook of my neck. “I don’t want to push you into anything. I know you’ve been afraid. You’re mine whether I mark you or not. It doesn’t have to happen now.”
Tears rush my eyes. “I don’t want to go another day without you in my life, and it scares the shit out of me. Promise me you’ll never abandon me.”
He lowers his chest to my back, both of us connected with his knot. The press of him is so comforting. “Never, Lia. I will never leave you. No matter what this world throws our way and no matter where you go, I will always be yours.”
The pillow soaks up the tear that falls from my eye. “Then mark me. We’ll figure out the rest with time.”
His tongue laves along the crook of my neck, and I let my eyes flutter closed. Someone runs their fingers through my hair while someone else presses kisses along my left arm.
Walker’s knot pulses, kicking against the underside of my clit. It pulls another whimper from my mouth. His teeth scrape along my scent gland, making my walls flutter around him.
And then he sinks his teeth into me.
“Yes!” I cry out.
“Mine,” he declares with a rumble that shakes my back.
And as his connection slams into my chest, his Alpha nature fills me to the brim, and the realization hits me like a ton of bricks.
This is my pack.
This is my home.
This is where I’ve always belonged.
