Chapter 9 Riley
Riley
I grab the bottle of lotion from next to the door to the nest as Vera stretches out on the pillows. Her belly has gotten much more pronounced in the last few weeks.
It’s hard to believe that we went on the raid only a month ago. Back then, she could still wear normal gear, only lightly modified. By now, I would be hard-pressed to find much that she’d be able to wear without significant alterations.
It’s good that Vera loves dresses and that she’s into sweater dresses this winter, as those are much easier to wear than the more structural dresses from woven fabrics she wore during the summer. And, they look really good on her to boot.
“Can you stop staring?” Vera laughs, throwing a pillow in my direction.
“What do I see here? Is my cute little Omega being violent?” Caleb appears in the door to the bedroom, looking at Vera with that gaze that says that he absolutely adores her.
It’s so nice to see him look like that at her, even though they’ve been together for years, it shows how much they love each other.
Vera squeals as she pulls her sweater dress down, like she’s somehow indecent in her opaque leggings, with the dress halfway up her hips.
As if. This girl has no problem walking around naked normally, but with her changing body, she has gotten a little less comfortable.
I hope it’s just temporary, that she’ll become comfortable again soon enough.
“You can’t come into the nest without asking.” Now she throws a pillow at Caleb as she lets out another squeal.
Caleb easily catches it, smirking. “I’m still in the bedroom, I’m not in your nest.” He drops the pillow into the nest as he sits down on the floor, making a big show of the fact that he’s still in the bedroom, and then he reaches inside the nest, far enough that he can grab her ankle.
“Not fair!” Vera laughs. It’s so good to see her happy. “I thought you were supposed to go somewhere with Jorge? Why are you here?”
“We’ll leave soon. I was just seeing if I could get a kiss from my love. But apparently, I can’t.” He gives her the biggest puppy-dog eyes, and I can’t hold in my laughter. These two, they’re so silly. “I guess I’ll leave without a kiss.” He pretends to get up.
“No!” Vera sits up, then crawls across the nest, her belly oddly pronounced by the position and her dress. “I want a kiss. Give me a kiss!”
“Of course, Sweetheart.” Caleb pulls her into his lap and slowly starts kissing her, their pheromones spreading through the nest.
I reorganise some of the pillows in the nest as the two start making out like a bunch of horny teens. One thing definitely hasn’t changed, Vera and Mathew are still as horny as ever, maybe even worse lately, since we’re no longer stressed about the raid.
We’re still dealing with increased security at the house and other things left over from the raid, but it’s very obvious that the general stress levels in the pack have lessened.
Caleb and Jorge are going to check on some of the families that are temporarily looking after some of the kids.
To make sure everyone is doing well and that the families and kids haven’t noticed anything strange lately.
It’s better to do some of that in person, as people tend play things off too much over the phone, or they think it’s not so important.
This way, we can be sure we don’t miss anything.
“Caleb!” Jorge’s standing at the bottom of the stairs, probably tired of waiting and knowing from experience what Caleb and Vera will get up to if they’re left alone for too long.
“I’m sorry, I’ve got to go.” Caleb gives Vera a last kiss, and then carefully puts her back in the nest. “I’ll be back in an hour or two. Though, I’m sure Riley is happy to indulge you until then.” He gets up and winks at me. “I’m sorry for riling her up.”
No, he’s not. He’s definitely not, from the grin on his face as he leaves.
“Riley...” Vera pulls on my arm, her sweet honey pheromones heavy with desire as she comes closer. Then she pushes me on my back and sits on my hips.
Fuck, this angle... She looks so good. Her belly, her boobs, and the hazy look in her eyes.
Ah, crap.
I was supposed to help her ease the dry skin —from the pregnancy and the cold weather this late in November— this wasn’t supposed to turn into sexy times.
But that seems to be exactly what Vera is up for right now. Not that I’m not interested, it’s just that there were... plans to do things that we probably won’t be able to get to.
Because, like Caleb —or any of her mates, really— I don’t have the skill to deny our cute Omega.
I slide my hands up under her dress, pulling it off over her head.
She’s wearing a comfy shirt, which is also gone in no time.
Then she’s just in her bra, still that heated look in her eyes.
.. Yeah, she’s too hard to resist. But I know that I need to resist her a bit, at least until I’ve rubbed lotion all over her belly and boobs.
Oh, yeah, this was never not going to turn into sexy times. But, like usual, I do try to resist it.
Vera reaches up and undoes the snaps on the front of her bra, making it open up in a tempting way, revealing more and more of her. “A few more weeks, and you won’t be able to look anywhere else. The way you stare at them.” She lets out a sexy chuckle.
“Well, they are delicious.” I tug the bra from her shoulders, letting it drop to the side.
Fuck, she’s so sexy.
I push myself up on one arm as I wrap my other arm around her waist. This way, I’m at exactly the right angle. I open my mouth and wrap my lips around a nipple.
She lets out a moan, grinding her hips into mine, as she grabs hold of my shoulders.
I run my tongue over her nipple and then move to her other nipple, first sucking, and then licking.
Her breaths are starting to come out in bursts, her grip on my shoulders tightening.
So fun. So much fun.
I flip us over so she’s under me, this way I’ve got more freedom to move.
Then I slip one hand into her leggings. She’s already totally wet.
My sexy little Omega, so sexy.
I pull her leggings and thong off, no use for those anymore, they’re already soaked anyway, and without them, things become a lot easier.
“Riley...” Vera pulls on me, angling her head for a kiss, which I gladly comply with.
I slide my hand between her legs again as I kiss her, running my tongue along hers at the same time as I move my finger over her clit. From her pheromones and her sounds, she’s not actually that far off an orgasm.
Of course, just one is never enough for her, but if we get the pressure off, at least she won’t try to climb all over me.
It doesn’t take long for Vera to come undone in my arms. The beautiful Omega all languid and happy.
While Vera is in her post-orgasm bliss, I grab the lotion again and slater it on my hands before I start to move them over her belly. Her skin isn’t too tight yet, though I’m sure that will get worse the further into the pregnancy we get.
She’s got some new stretch marks from her pregnancy, the lines still purple, not the silver they will eventually turn. They’re not her first stretch marks, she’s already got plenty on her hips and boobs, which is very common for people with large boobs and wide hips. I also have plenty of them.
It’s really relaxing to slowly move my hands over her belly, making sure I rub the lotion in as well as possible, and it seems that the little boy inside her really enjoys it too.
In the last two weeks, it’s gotten much easier to feel him, especially when he’s being active, which tends to be the moment Vera relaxes, like now.
I hold my hands on her belly, smiling as I feel him move inside. Then Vera also puts her hand on her belly. “He’s extra active today. I don’t know if it’s because we all got some really good rest, or if it’s because he’s growing so well.”
“Well, it’s all good, right?”
“Yes. It is.” She grins. “But I don’t know how we’re all going to keep up with two of these balls of energy once they’re born. Mathew’s girl isn’t any less active than this little guy.”
“Once they’re born?” I can’t help my laugh. “I’m more worried what happens once they start moving, or —imagine— once they start walking? We’re going to need eyes in the back of our heads, all of us.”
That makes her laugh too. “I have no idea how pair parents deal with it. Especially if they’ve got twins. I’ve seen how much energy it takes a pack to raise young kids. I can’t imagine how hard it is on pair parents.” She snuggles close to me and I wrap a blanket around her.
“I guess it’s possible, but they must be so very exhausted.”
My parents are a pack too and I imagine that when it was just me, since I’m the oldest, it must have been pretty easy. But once my siblings started arriving, things got busy very quickly.
Though, it’s common that once the eldest kids are old enough, they help with raising the younger ones. It’s not supposed to happen, but that doesn’t stop it from happening.
Just like it happened with me. It’s not as common for female Alphas as it is for Omegas or female Betas, but since they needed extra pairs of hands to help out with the little ones before my designation showed, I got roped into it.
And one the pack realised I was good with kids, they didn’t care I was an Alpha, they expected me to look after them all the same.
Vera might be a middle kid, but she probably still has a similar experience, especially once some of the older kids started to leave the house and she became the eldest one still there.
I don’t want any of our kids to ever experience that unfair expectation, the expectation of becoming a parent to their siblings, even though they’re still kids themselves. Because the parents simply don’t have the time and energy to look after all of them themselves.
It’s unfair and robs them of their childhood.
I snuggle in the nest with Vera, holding her close.
I won’t let that happen to our kids.
