Chapter 36
Cormac
“ W hy do we have to play this stupid game?” I grumbled, throwing my duffel bag onto the bed.
Roman sighed. “Because it’s part of being on the team.”
“I know that, and I used to never mind it, but now I want to be home ,” I whined. Hotel rooms had never bored me in this way before. I wasn’t a complicated guy. As long as I had my pack with me, I was happy.
Only, we were six hours away from home, and I didn’t have my whole pack with me.
It didn’t matter if it was official or not, Hazel was a member of my pack.
And I despised that we’d left her.
Eventually, after the little nugget came along, we would bite and bond and make everything official.
“Sebastian is keeping a close eye on her,” Phillip said as he turned around the corner, placing his own bag on one of the beds. The team was very understanding about letting pack mates room together, so we were in a large suite with just the three of us. It had been that way ever since freshman year.
“I know, I still miss her.”
“We all miss her,” Roman said, unzipping his duffel and rummaging through it. “We’ll drive straight home after the game tomorrow.”
“Good.” I didn’t like the idea of spending more than a single night away from her. “Why don’t we bring her with us next time?”” I asked. “A little hotel time with our omega could be fun.”
Phillip sank down onto the bed with a groan. “I don’t see why not, as long as she isn’t feeling nauseated anymore. I’ll be honest, I’m kind of looking forward to all of us playing together.”
“All this talk about Duchess is making me sad. I’m going to go grab dinner, and then we can call her once we’re in bed. What do you guys want to eat?”
“That Chinese place around the corner looked decent,” Phillip said around a yawn. “I can go with you to pick some up.”
Roman nodded.
Grabbing a clean shirt from my duffel bag, I made my way toward the bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower before you guys get back. I smell like sweat.”
Despite it being winter, there was something about long car rides that just made me feel gross. Even though none of my pack mates smelled particularly bad, three alphas in a car, driving for six hours, did create a certain odor.
“Sounds like a plan. Come on, Phillip. I’m starving.”
I waved goodbye as I made my way into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. It was nice for a hotel bathroom. Most of the team was in standard economy rooms, but Roman often sprung for us to get a slightly better pack room. He always said he had money, so he may as well use it to make us comfortable.
There was no way in hell I was going to complain.
Ripping off my shirt, I looked at myself in the mirror. How did Hazel see me? My body wasn’t anything to sniff at. While I wasn’t as wide as Roman, my chest was well defined and free of hair. And women seemed to like my mess of shocking red waves and curls.
Several times, I had caught Hazel running her hands through it. Part of me had been giving serious thought to cutting it short, but now I wouldn’t dream of it. Not if it made my girl happy.
Turning on the shower, I picked up my phone, intending to put some music on, when the screen flashed with an incoming call.
Sweetness.
Unable to contain my grin, I answered the call, resting the phone on the sink. The screen flashed once again, and Hazel’s face filled it. Wearing her night sky pajamas and surrounded by blankets, she was obviously in her nest.
“Hey, sweetness. How are you doing? Are you feeling okay?”
She nodded and gave me a small smile. “I’m feeling good. I had some of those ginger candies, and my stomach’s better. I was absolutely exhausted, though, so I decided to rest early.” Her eyes seemed to roam over me through the phone. “Are you naked ?”
Snorting, I stood on my tiptoes so she could see the waistband of my boxers. “Unfortunately not. I was just about to get in the shower. After the six-hour drive, I’m smelling a bit ripe.”
“Oh, that’s a shame. I can leave you to it,” she said. Her voice was light, but she frowned as she said it. Did she want me to stay on the phone?
“Nah, I’m more than happy to talk.”
“Was the drive okay? Are you guys staying with the whole team?”
“We’ve got a room just for our pack. Though our pack is missing a member. Or two.”
Hazel’s eyes widened. “Please don’t tell me you left one of the guys along the road on the way!”
I couldn’t help but smirk at her accusation. “As much as that is a real possibility, sweetness, that isn’t what I meant. The pack member we’re missing happens to be an incredibly short, stubborn omega who’s stuck back in California. Plus her best friend.”
Hazel’s mouth opened and closed a few times as my words sank in, and her cheeks turned a delicious shade of pink. “Oh.”
“Yes, oh . I must admit, sweetness, I’m very proud that you know us so well.”
“You’re a simple creature to figure out, most of the time. It’s something I like about you,” she admitted.
“What am I thinking about right now, then?” I challenged.
“Well you are half naked in a bathroom, and I can tell, even through the phone, you can’t stop looking at my cleavage.”
“What can I say? It’s very impressive cleavage.”
“And I’m also guessing you’re hard.”
“Well, that’s not much of a guess. I’m always hard around you. If you were here, I could get your help to take care of this.” I pulled down my waistband and let my cock spring free.
Hazel’s eyes darkened at the sight of my cock, her lips falling into a pout. “Well, now you’re being a tease.”
“I happen to know you have a box of toys in your bedside table that you brought from your dorm that you haven’t told us about.”
“Cormac! How?” she cried, sitting up.
“I was nosy while you’re moving. I thought it was a box of candy that you were hiding from us, but imagine my surprise when I found dildos instead of gummy worms.” I laughed, gently taking a hold of my cock and giving it a few strokes.
Hazel’s face was an adorable shade of pink, her eyes honed in on my cock. “That’s rude,” she said, her voice breathy.
“Oh, it was totally rude, but who could blame me?” I shrugged, a grin never leaving my face as my hand kept moving. “Why don’t you grab something out of that box?”
Hazel glanced around her room, looking at what, I didn’t know. Would she want to play? Watching my girl come would certainly make my day so much fucking better.
Rolling over, she rummaged around, her hands out of sight. Her ass was on display in her tiny sleep shorts, and I cursed being so far away.
“Fuck, sweetness, your ass looks immaculate.” I groaned.
Instead of answering, the temptress just waggled her ass in my direction, never ceasing with her searching.
My mouth filled with saliva at the sight. We had been blessed with an omega who had spectacular assets, and I wasn’t with her so I could play with them.
It was downright criminal.
Maybe I should have given up hockey and spent all my time worshiping her.
That would have been a completely valid career choice, in my opinion.
“Got it!” Hazel declared, rolling over, brandishing a small, pink toy in her hand. Compared to all the toys inside the box, this one was rather tiny.
“Sweetness, I don’t know if the baby is making you forgetful, but I happen to be a lot bigger than that.”
Hazel giggled, a beautiful sound. “Oh, I remember that all too well, and I can see that now—this little beauty is magic , though,” she admitted, biting her lip, glee dancing in her eyes. “Sometimes a girl just wants a little vibe.”
“Well, that sounds fun.”
“It does, doesn’t it?” Reaching down, she removed her shirt in one fluid movement, her nipples pebbling as the cool air hit them. “It’ll get the job done a lot faster than your hand will finish you.”
“You want to bet on that?” I smirked.
“What are you thinking?” she asked, as the telltale buzzing started. She closed her eyes, tilting her head back as she hummed in pleasure.
All the action was out of the camera’s reach, but the sight of her face and chest was more than enough for me.
“If I come first, then when we get back… your ass is mine, sweetness.”
Hazel’s eyes flew open, her mouth falling open. Fuck, if I were there, I would be feeding my cock between those perfect lips. There was no way she was going to take the bet; with my piercings, it was a daunting prospect.
“Okay.” She grinned.
My brain short-circuited.
Did she say okay ?
Had she just agreed to letting me fuck her ass?
“But you’ll have to wait until after the baby is born.”
“I’d wait a thousand fucking years for a chance at that ass, Hazel. I’m happy just knowing I’m going to get it.”
My hand sped up, my precum making it easy for my hand to glide over the metal lining my length. Hazel knew I was an ass man. I fucking loved watching hers, but I had never found a woman brave enough.
“That’s not fair, now I’m going to come in three seconds flat!” I growled.
“Oh no… how terrible,” she giggled, breaking off into a moan, throwing her head back as her pace continued.
I wasn’t going to miss out on this opportunity. “You don’t know what you’ve started, sweetness.”
“Do tell,” she moaned, her face scrunching in pleasure.
“I am going to have you bent over in front of a mirror, so I can watch every facial expression as I slide inch after inch of my cock into your ass,” I explained, my voice rough with need.
“Jesus Christ,” she muttered.
“Cormac, not Jesus. How many times do I have to tell you?” I laughed. My heart started to pound rapidly as my balls tightened.
I was already close to exploding.
I was going to win.
I was going to get to fuck her ass.
That thought was enough to propel me forward. One hand rested on the sink, keeping me upright as my limbs started to tingle.
With a moan that would undoubtedly be heard in the next room, I came violently, my cock throbbing in my hand as I made a mess of myself.
Catching my breath, I focused on Hazel. She was still distracted with her own antics, head thrown back, eyes scrunched closed with the intensity of her release.
My gaze stayed firmly on her as she slowly came down. Where was Sebastian? The fucker was missing out. You can sure as fuck bet that if sweetness was doing that in the house while I was there, I would know about it, and I would swiftly be joining in.
It took a while for the waves of release to ease, but when they did, she sagged back on the bed, a smile on her face. She turned to the camera, a blissful look in her eyes.
“You better get home soon.”
“If it were up to me, I would never leave again!” Through the door, I could hear clattering as the food arrived. “Food’s here… I guess I’ll have to shower later, even though I really need one now.”
“Oops, sorry.” She bit her lip, but it did nothing to conceal the smile.
“Worth it.”
