Chapter 49
WYATT
Why couldn’t I move towards them? Why couldn’t I shut my brain down and give myself over to this? I wanted it. Needed it. And I knew that Wade and I were on the same page—agreeing that our old rules had gone out the door when this window opened, letting in the fresh breath of air that was Nelly.
I bit back the growl rising in my throat as other hands slid down my Omega’s sides, their fingers mapping territory I desperately wanted to demand as my own.
Wade’s hands moved, fingers gripping her hips.
He was already knotted inside of her. Hadn’t he claimed enough already?
Every instinct in my body screamed at me to shove my twin aside and assert my dominance, though that wasn’t possible without hurting Nelly.
And… I’d never been violent about taking charge.
Leadership was just the role I fell naturally into, not something I seized by force.
I tightened my jaw and caught Nelly's gaze instead, drowning myself in those bottomless, hazel pools while my brothers took what I ached for most.
Touches of her.
Tastes of her.
Then, she’d reached for me.
For me. Not Wade or the others.
I moved forward on my knees across the rough blankets, feeling something unfamiliar flood through me.
A willingness to wait. To let my brothers all mate and knot with her.
As long as I could snag her attention this way, as long as she kept looking at me—only me—then I could ignore the envy I felt towards the other men and the gnawing urgency to sink my pulsing hardness into her body.
I claimed her mouth.
The syrupy taste of her lips sent shockwaves down my spine, gathering hot and heavy in my engorged groin. She tasted like cinnamon and honey as she yielded to my kiss. I cupped her face, thumbs brushing against the light dusting of freckles across her cheeks.
Behind me, I heard Cooper's sharp intake of breath.
Levi murmured something unintelligible, his voice thick with anticipation.
I tried to keep my focus on Nelly's mouth, on the way her tongue danced with mine, but my awareness expanded outward against my will.
Every shift my pack brothers made hovered at the edges of my consciousness.
I grew painfully hard, pushing against briefs.
Nelly gasped against my mouth when Wade was finally able to pull out of her.
Her lips left mine, causing an ache of missing her shoot through me.
She was looking down her body, watching who was leaving, and who was next.
I allowed myself a single glance. Wade had moved.
Levi’s boxers were gone. A quick survey revealed Cooper and Boone were fully naked now too.
I was the only one who still had my dick in my proverbial pants.
Levi was now between Nelly’s leg. A burst of jealousy forced me to look away.
Yet, my mind began to envision how Levi would touch her.
The caresses carefully precise. The angle of his thrusts calculated for maximum pleasure.
The speed and rhythm as he rocked in and out of her changing as he read her response, adjusting his approach.
To drive the images from my mind, I pushed my hand into Nelly’s ginger hair and gripped gently. She whimpered in surprise, her gaze coming back where I wanted it. On me. I feverishly kissed her again.
I let everything happening around me melt away.
She was the only thing important.
I kept ravenously attacking her mouth until Nelly tapped me on the chest. I pulled away reluctantly, watching as she hitched in air, trying to catch her breath.
“You’ve…” she sucked in oxygen… “got to let me…” a quick inhalation… “breathe.”
“I’m sorry,” I heard myself saying, though not a single atom of me felt sorry. If I had my way, I’d keep kissing her until we both passed out.
My cock throbbed painfully. I'd never been so hard in my life, never wanted someone with such ferocity.
Nelly was breathing more normally now.
Like it was just me and here in this barn, and no one else was touching her.
I glanced away, seeing Levi knotted inside her, leaning back against Boone for support. Cooper and Wade… Cooper and Wade were kissing.
For a fleeting moment it almost was just me and Nelly.
“How about?” She said it like it was a complete question.
I didn’t understand, not until I felt dainty fingers circle around my cock.
I looked down, a thrill rocketing through me at the sight of Nelly’s fingers touching me there.
She gave a gentle tug, eyes sparkling. She stifled a moan of pleasure, and I bristled knowing it had nothing to do with the moment we were sharing.
I was right.
A quick look revealed Levi exiting her body.
Cooper pushed forward, braid swinging over his shoulder as he eagerly moved. Boone didn’t seem to mind waiting longer. If it were me, I’d have called bullshit. Cooper had already tasted our Omega’s body so deeply that he should have been last out of all of us to mate with her.
Another gentle, more insistent tug on my dick brought me back to her olive, gold-flecked gaze.
My knees scraped against the rough blanket, drawing close enough that she could have what she wanted. Nelly's lips parted, red and swollen from our kisses, in invitation. I slowly rocked my hips forward as she ducked her head closer. When her mouth closed around me, I sucked in a sharp breath.
Sweet Jesus.
My head fell back, eyes squeezing shut at the sensation. My hands, which had been hovering uncertainly at my sides, found their way into her hair, tangling in those silky ginger strands. I anchored myself to her as pleasure threatened to sweep me away like spring floodwaters.
“Fuck,” I moaned out, not caring if the others heard. Not caring if they saw me surrendering to this moment.
The way her tongue swirled around the head of my cock sent molten heat pooling in my groin. I'd always prided myself on staying in control, on never showing weakness. In this moment though, I was at her mercy. Her clever mouth had me trembling like a newborn colt taking its first steps.
Cooper's climax was vocal. His shout of completion echoed in the room, followed by deep, rumbling groans as his knot tied him to Nelly. She groaned around my cock, inconceivably making me harder. I was going to burst before I felt the welcoming warmth of her womanhood.
Boone.
Boone was next.
I just needed to hold out a while longer.
But God help me, one of her hands reached up to massage my balls. She delicately tugged and pulled and kneaded.
Wildness invaded my every sense. My eyes, opened so wide they hurt, found Boone. His dark eyes were intense. His raven wing hair curtained around him, flowing all the way down to his hips. Don’t take forever, a voice inside pleaded. Or I won’t make it.
It felt like a goddamn eternity by the time Boone's breathing turned ragged. I didn’t look at him.
I had to use every ounce of my willpower to keep from coming inside Nelly’s mouth.
She worked my shaft tirelessly, as if she’d never be satisfied.
It was a Herculean feat to hold back the stream of my seed.
Finally, Boone's deep, guttural groan filled the room as he came.
Nelly moaned around my length, the vibrations almost proving my undoing, as Boone's release rocked through her.
Her eyes fluttered closed, long lashes casting shadows on her freckled cheeks, and her mouth slackened around my hardness.
I cradled her face in my hands, thumbs stroking the soft skin beneath her eyes.
Just a bit longer.
Almost mine.
When she recovered, Nelly attacked my cock with renewed desire.
I couldn't take my eyes off the way her lips stretched around my girth, the slight hollow of her cheeks as she sucked, the flash of her tongue as it worked underneath my shaft.
My attention briefly shifted to movement beside us.
Cooper and Levi had positioned themselves on the floor next to where Boone remained knotted to Nelly.
They were touching each other with the easy familiarity of longtime lovers, Cooper's large hands exploring Levi's leaner, athletic body.
Levi's head was thrown back, his throat exposed as Cooper kissed his way down the column of his neck.
The sight of my pack brothers finding pleasure in each other while we all shared this moment with Nelly created a strange ache in my chest.
Had my stubbornness and hang-ups made me miss out all these years?
If I’d let myself be a part of everything, what would our pack be like now?
I felt Nelly's attention waver, and I glanced down at her.
She was trying to watch Cooper and Levi, her mouth slowing as she angled her head.
A small, selfish part of me couldn't bear the loss of her attention.
My fingers tightened in her hair, not painfully but firmly, tugging her focus back to me.
I guided her mouth more deliberately against my hardness, pushing her a little firmer against my length.
She took me deeper than before, eyes watering as she fought against her gag reflex.
I froze immediately, terrified of hurting her.
The last thing I wanted was to cause her pain or discomfort.
I started to pull back, an apology forming on my lips, but Nelly's hands gripped my thighs, holding me in place.
Slowly, deliberately, she pulled her lips away until just the head of my cock remained in her mouth.
When she looked up at me, her eyes were clear and filled with a heat that made my breath catch. Her lips curved in a smile around my length, a smile so full of sensual promise that I felt it like a physical touch down the length of my spine.
This woman, petite and graceful, was far from fragile.
I already knew that.
She was only reminding me.
