Fourteen
Orion
By the time midnight rolls around, we’re all huddled in Jess’s nest. As soon as Kito’s knot had deflated, she asked us all to cuddle and who were we to say no? There’s enough space, but only just. My feet are hanging off the edge of the mountain of pillows and covers and Kito is, as usual, snoring at Jess’s side.
But Adair lies still beside me, his cool green eyes locked on the ceiling above where the fairy lights I found are wrapped around the beams and twinkling in the dim light.
“Can’t sleep?” I ask, a stupid question in all fairness. Of course, he can’t sleep, I can practically feel the stress rolling off him like waves.
Adair hums low in his throat. “Every time I get close to her I just can’t stop thinking about it.”
“I know, man,” I sigh. “But Jess is different. This situation is different. What happened to you and Katya was a one in a million, you couldn’t have possibly known in advance.”
“I should’ve been more careful,” he replies, a tear slipping from the outside corner of his eye as he speaks. “I just keep going over it in my head, things I could’ve done differently. And with Jess and her medical issues… it just feels like a risk I can’t take. But I know I’d be letting her down and that breaks my fucking heart.”
I roll onto my side to face him, propping my head up on my hand so I can study his angelic face. “Hey,” I nudge him, wiping the tears away with the back of my hand. “You aren’t letting anyone down. If anyone will understand, it’s Jess. She knows you love her.”
Adair stays silent for a second before he nods, just once. “I do love her, Orion. I didn’t think I could love anyone after Katya but Jess… she’s different, you know? She’s so open and warm, there’s a kindness in her that makes me want to be better. Do better. It’s been that way ever since she told that stupid fucking joke and made me laugh. I didn’t think it was possible but her just being her, it healed a part of me I thought was gone forever. So why can’t I give her what she needs now? She did it for me, I should be able to do it for her. Instead, I’m just walking around like a fucking ghost in this house, making food and cleaning up. This should be simple, Orion. The simplest thing in the fucking world.”
My heart fucking shatters all over again. Adair has been through more in his twenties than most people go through in a lifetime. So much loss, so much pain. He’s a good person, kind and thoughtful; he doesn’t deserve the life he’s so far been made to live. I know JJ healed part of him, I was right there to watch it happen. To hear the light come back into his voice and listen to him crack a laugh every once in a while. JJ did that. She did all of it.
“If you let it,” I whisper, feeling Jess stir at my back. She whines, twisting her body up so her legs are crushed to her chest. “If you let it be simple.”
Adair inhales deeply through his nose, his eyes fluttering closed. “She’s perfuming.”
“Our girl needs us,” I reply, the room filling up with lavender and vanilla. “She needs all of us, Adair. Whatever we have to offer.”
I turn over, my hand running up and down Jess’s side. Her eyes flicker and she starts to pant, her arms stretching forward to wrap around me.
“Orion,” she moans, voice croaky from sleep and discomfort.
“I know, princess.” I press my lips to hers, shifting so I’m lying on top of her.
Jess’s legs part around my waist and the heat from her core goes straight to my cock, which stands to attention ready and waiting for her. She draws in a deep breath and presses her hips up against me, trying to find the right friction to get off.
“Pull your panties to the side, sweet girl.”
Icy blue eyes open to meet mine as she does what I ask, tugging her drenched cotton panties to the side.
“Now close your eyes,” I ask, fisting my cock in one hand and settling at her entrance. “Close your eyes and I’m going to fuck you back to sleep.”
Jess and I moan in unison as I press my cock inside her, filling up her tight, wet pussy until I’m bottomed out. My knot inflates, throbbing with the need to be inside her but I ignore it. Instead, I roll my hips slowly, pulling out of her and pushing back in at a snail’s pace. Each hard buck of my hips has the sweetest of sighs coming from between her parted lips.
I lean forward, kissing the shell of her ear. “That’s it, baby. I’ll make you feel so much better. Make you take this cock and this knot until you’re gushing slick all over this fucking nest. I want to smell you on me for days, princess.”
God, I want to taste her. I wish there was some way I could fuck her and eat her out all at once, to have her slick running down my throat and smeared over my face.
“One day I’m going to get Kito or Adair to fuck you,” I say, smirking as I picture the image in all its glory. “I’m going to get them to fuck you and I’m going to lick and suck your pretty pink pussy at the same time. Fuck, I can’t wait to see what you taste like while they’re inside you. Lavender and bergamot and heather all mixed together. Sounds delectable, hmm?”
“Alpha…” she whines arching her back so her front is pressed flush against me.
Her incredible pussy milks me, squeezing again and again until I’m certain any minute now I’m about to cum. But I hold back, enjoying the way Jess’s face is lax in contentment. She keeps her eyes closed just as I asked and I can’t help but wonder if she’s this good at taking orders usually. Oh the fun we could have, I wonder how pretty she’d look on her knees with my come covering her face and heavy breasts.
“Alpha, please.” Her hands wind in my hair as she bares her throat, cotton candy hair falling to the side in sweat-moistened waves. The sound of her slick soaked pussy squelching with each delectable thrust fills the room and I know she’ll be coming any second now. I can feel it in the tightness of her muscles, in the way her eyes are scrunched shut.
“That’s it,” I muse. “You take my cock so well, princess. So fucking well, I can’t wait to feel you choking my knot. You want my knot, baby?”
She nods frantically, grunting and groaning until she explodes. Her climax drips from every inch of her, the sweetest honey. Sweat shimmers across her skin, slick pools around my thighs and I know she needs it, right fucking now. And hell, so do I.
I push and push and push until finally, my knot settles behind her pubic bone and holds us together. The feeling alone makes my spine tingle, fire roves across my skin as I come hard, filling her and coating her walls and making her mine in almost every sense of the word. In the most primal way there is. Jess falls asleep almost immediately, her whole body pliable enough for me to stay locked inside her. I adjust us enough so I’m not crushing her beneath my weight, my head propped up on my hand so I can study her features. With the moonlight streaming in through the windows, she looks magical, ethereal. Her pale skin is littered with freckles, and long dark eyelashes rest against her cheeks. There’s a slight bump on the bridge of her nose that I follow with my finger, up and down until my eyes start threatening to close. But I don’t want to miss a single second of this.
“Did you mean what you said?” Adair asks in that quiet, softly accented voice, close to a whisper in the darkness. “About me or Kito fucking her at the same time as you eat her out?”
I nod with a light chuckle. “Fuck yeah. This is the height of her heat, she’s going to need everything we can give her.”
Adair hums in reply, falling silent yet again.
“Plus I can’t think of anything better,” I respond. “Sharing our girl between us, bringing her pleasure together? Sounds like fucking heaven to me.”
“I think I could do it,” Adair says, catching me off guard. “I think I could do it if you guys were there to help me. To keep her safe.”
