Chapter 61
SIXTY-ONE
Jez
I WAS GOING TO BURST into flames, right here in the middle of my nest. Three hot male bodies converged on me, wrapping me up between them in the instant before my knees would have given out.
Heath’s soft beard, Gage’s prickly stubble, and Knox’s fresh-shaven cheek all rubbed against my head and neck, warm breath whuffling over sensitive skin as they scented and marked me. I moaned, and Gage did, too.
“Oh, kitten,” he said on the heels of a deep groan. “You smell like every Christmas ever.”
I turned my head far enough to catch his earlobe between my teeth, licking his addictive taste from the small bit of skin before letting it slide free.
“No, that’s you,” I managed, only to gasp as Knox tugged me free of the others’ grasp and hauled my stolen T-shirt over my head. I lifted my arms to help—desperate to have it gone, now that I had the real source of those alpha pheromones in my nest.
Mine, to scent and mark and claim.
Gage cupped my face between his big palms, his hazel eyes flicking down to take in my nakedness before dragging back up to my face.
“I took a dampener shot before I came down here, sweetheart,” he said.
I struggled to focus on his words as Heath and Knox sniffed their way down my back.
“My body’s still too beat up for a full rut,” Gage went on, still holding my gaze. “Now, don’t get me wrong—I want my dick buried in that pussy of yours as often as you’ll let me. But this way, I can keep also an eye on things and make sure Tony doesn’t get overwhelmed.”
“Too late,” Tony said, sounding choked. “I’m already overwhelmed. Jesus Christ, you guys are hot.”
On either side of me, alphas were stripping out of clothing, revealing sleek muscles under skin. I stared at the contrasting shades of pale and dark, my mouth watering with desire.
I’d more or less lost the thread, after the part where Gage said he wanted to fuck me.
But I trusted that whatever the others were talking about, Gage would take care of me—just like he’d always taken care of me.
Right now, I was more worried about the way my womb seemed to be spontaneously combusting.
“I need a cock,” I whined, because my body was empty, and being empty hurt.
Knox snarled and snapped at Heath, who snarled and snapped back.
Possessiveness spiked through the bond; I was just aware enough to understand that Heath should have backed down from his pack leader’s claim, and he hadn’t.
An instant later, the pair sprung at each other, Knox dragging Heath to the cushion-covered floor as the naked pair wrestled for dominance.
“Oh, shit...” Gage huffed a breathless laugh and tugged me away from the writhing male bodies. He flopped down on his back, taking me with him.
“Quick, kitten—hop on my dick before they get their dominance issues sorted out,” he said, yanking his loose track pants down to free his erection.
“Oy, Tony—you’re wearing too many clothes.
I want you naked, lubed, and ready to go.
.. because when these knot-brains figure out that you’ve got an unoccupied hole, they ain’t gonna be gentle with you. ”
“Jesus, are you trying to make me come right now?” Tony grumbled. “And for your information, my hole is not unoccupied. I’m using my biggest plug to get loosened up.”
“Time to take it out, in that case,” Gage shot back.
As far as my brain was concerned, it was all blah-blah-blah background noise. Someone was waving a huge dick in front of me, and I was going to ride that motherfucker into the sunset. Gage helped me get my uncooperative body in position, straddling his hips.
“Oh fuck yes,” I breathed, as I lined him up and impaled myself, shuddering in delicious agony as he stretched and filled the empty, cramping spaces within me.
Gage’s pleasure roared through the bond, crashing into mine.
I felt his smug amusement at having outsmarted the others, who abruptly froze in mid-fight, staring at us with identical expressions of outrage.
From my position riding Gage, I could see most of the room if I turned my head. Tony was naked and looking a bit self-conscious, based on his pink cheeks. He sank down on a handy beanbag and lifted his chin defiantly.
“Hey, why’d you two stop wrestling?” he asked Heath and Knox. Then he deliberately held eye contact with them as he wrapped a hand around his dick and stroked it slowly up and down. “I was enjoying the view.”
Heath let out a feral growl and twisted free of Knox’s grasp, covering the distance to Tony in three long strides.
I ground down on Gage’s hard length, letting lust swamp me as Heath grabbed Tony by the ankles and tipped him backward.
Tony yelped as his upper body disappeared into the sea of cushions behind him, his hips still balanced on the beanbag even as his arms flailed.
I rolled my hips, purring in delight when Gage wormed a hand between us and started playing with my clit. Heath, still holding Tony by the ankles, bent his legs nearly double before kneeling in front of him and shoving his thick cock into Tony’s hole.
Tony bucked and yelled, his head and shoulders still hidden from view by cushions. Heath snarled and pulled back, slamming in again. Tony yelled louder.
“All good over there, cub?” Gage called.
“Oh, f-fuck,” Tony moaned, as another brutal thrust rocked him. One of his flailing arms settled between his legs, and he started fisting his bobbing erection with fast, almost frantic movements. “Fuck! Fuck yes! S-so good! Harder, goddamn it! Give it to me harder!”
My first orgasm rose up, teasing me with its promise of relief as Heath folded Tony in half and pounded into his unresisting body with abandon. Tony’s cries rose up, increasingly desperate, just as another warning growl wrenched my attention back to Knox.
The pack leader crawled toward me on hands and knees, an expression of such intensity on his face that my body clenched convulsively in reaction. His brown eyes were all pupil—blown wide. Dark and mindless with desire.
I rose and fell, sliding up and down the slick, heavy length buried inside me—flaunting what my mate and I were doing together.
Knox approached us like a hunting cat, his movements smooth and deadly.
Gooseflesh erupted up and down my body as he knelt next to us, staring down at Gage lying helplessly on his back.
Quick as a snake, Knox’s hand darted out and closed around Gage’s throat, pinning him in place as alpha power washed over us. Gage let out a choked noise of shock and climaxed so hard that his jerking hips lifted my entire body off the ground.
His cock jumped and throbbed inside me—the last push I needed to follow him into a crashing orgasm. My vision whited out, every sense focused on the perfect pressure of my mate’s knot swelling to fill me.
“Fuckin’ hell, Knox,” Gage said, sounding wrecked.
I flopped down on Gage’s broad chest as my muscles abruptly decided to stop working.
A miasma of cedar and woodsmoke settled around us in a suffocating haze of unspent lust. Knox nuzzled at my mating gland, sending a shudder through me.
But rather than bite, he nibbled down the length of my spine, not stopping until his nose was pressed between my ass cheeks.
I moaned with delight as his tongue delved, lapping at the place Gage and I were joined.
My body melted into a puddle as he licked deeply, sliding his tongue forward to tease my stretched passage, then back to circle my hole.
He repeated the path for slightly more than an eternity before finally pressing the tip of his tongue inside my body.
Tingles shot up my spine. My clit throbbed and my hips twitched, moving Gage’s knot around inside me. Knox shoved his tongue deeper, just as Tony’s rhythmic cries rose into a full-throated scream.
As though in sympathy, a second orgasm washed over me. I clamped hard around Gage’s knot as the wave took my breath away, drawing a shudder from him. Knox, who hadn’t slowed down, seemed prepared to eat out my ass until the sun burned down to a cinder.
Inside, I was flying, even though my body was very much tethered in place by Gage’s knot.
Giving in to the inevitable, I lay limp and spent on top of him, letting my low, keening cries join Tony’s harsh panting and occasional strangled curses as Knox continued to lick into me.
A whimper lodged in my throat as blunt fingers dragged through my leaking slick.
They replaced Knox’s tongue, probing inside and teasing the thin barrier of flesh stretched around Gage’s knot.
“Fuck...” Gage craned his head up far enough to get a glimpse of what Knox was doing; then he let it fall back in the pillows.
“Jesus Christ, kitten. You think this is bad? Just you wait until Mr. OCD here discovers all the ways he can make you scream by playing with your clit for twenty-four hours straight.”
Slick pulsed around his cock as my hazy mind painted a picture of that. I gulped hard when the fingers buried in my ass scissored, stretching me open for the return of Knox’s tongue.
With no other option than to take those slow, deep licks and let my climax come and go in lazy waves, I lay on top of Gage like a beached jellyfish.
As time stretched out like warm taffy, his deep, alpha purring combined with the scent of sex and the feel of a rough tongue inside me—all of it conspiring to send me into the serene fugue state that signaled the end of my first peak.
