CHAPTER 33
CLOVER
S itting alone at the game should feel strange, but since I’m here rooting on three of my guys it makes me feel way less alone.
I like watching them warmup. The way they skate around, shooting at the net as they laugh together. It looks like they are having fun and I love that for them.
When they get low to the ice, legs spread as they do their hip mobility exercises AKA the melt the ice humping, I bite my lip thinking about how I get to have all of them. I had been the ice under Vaughn before. I know how good it is when he stretches his hips.
Before we came here, Vaughn had rubbed me through my leggings until I was coming. I had been whimpering out his name and begging him for more. He had promised that we could play later, but Griffin had said he was going to get a hat trick tonight and that we would shower together.
Showering with Griffin was my favorite.
Not just because he loved to clean me using his tongue. The man knew how to use his fingers to work out all the tension from my head. His long fingers massaging my scalp as he shampooed my hair clean. If hockey didn’t pan out for him he could have a career in a salon.
Mick flew across the ice, catching my attention as he pulled the two Alpha’s away from the warmups. They didn’t go down the tunnel that I was sitting next to and that confused me more.
I didn’t understand everything about the game, so it was possible that they could have something else that they had to do before it started for real.
They had asked me to stay seated near them. If I needed to use the restroom I was supposed to let someone on the bench know. They didn’t want me to be alone just in case. Mickey had made sure that I had all the snacks I could possibly want and had made sure I had a blanket so I didn’t get too cold.
A bang against the glass made me jump.
Griffin was pulling at the plexiglass, a snarl of absolute fury written across his face. My heart thundered, shocked by the anger that was there.
What had happened?
“Oh my Godddd, he’s feral!” A voice behind me cried out. It sounded so fake, a tone so high that I wanted to press my hands to my ears so I didn’t have to hear it anymore.
The glass was giving way and I scooted over as he pulled it out, tossing it behind him without even seeming to care where it landed or if someone was there.
Thankfully no one was there to get knocked out.
“Hey Clover, come here for me, baby.” He moves to lift me, much more gentle than he had been a second ago. Griffin sets me down behind him. Stroking my cheek with the glove that he is wearing, “Why don’t you close your eyes for a second so that you can’t testify against me?” I blink confused by what he is saying..
It’s just a s second of not understanding what he is saying. I watch him lunge in the crowd, reaching for a man who had been seated behind me. He is sitting next to a pregnant Beta who looked horrified by what was happening.
The man sort of looks like Vaughn.
That’s when I realized who had been sitting behind me and why Griffin was losing his mind. Before I could grab him and tug him back before he ended up in jail, Mickey is suddenly there, wrapping his arms around my Alpha, and pulling him away.
“Calm down. They’re not worth it. I’ve already spoken to security. They’re going to leave.” Griffin snarled and reached out to attack again.
I needed to step in.
Getting in the middle of an angry Alpha didn’t sound like the best idea. Leaving Griffin this upset wasn’t something I could do. I had to calm down my Alpha. Every part of me wanted him to be at ease.
Stepping up, I rubbed my neck against his chest. Scent marking him and making a soft sound that was almost like the purr that they would do for me.
Purring wasn’t the right word for what I was doing. It was more of a little growling soothing sound. Whatever it was called worked to ease some of the tension that Griffin was carrying. His arm wrapping around me to keep me against him.
“You have an Omega?” The sound she made was a shrill, shocked sound. It hurt my ears and I had to rub them harder against Griffin.
“Yes.”
McKinley didn’t say anything else, only wrapped his arm around us both, and started to pull us into the tunnel. I couldn’t hear what else the girl was yelling about and I didn’t really care about any of it. Griffin still wasn’t fully settled and I didn’t like that.
It made me feel unsettled.
“We should take our clothes off and go in the shower.” I suggested helpfully.
“Absolutely not.” A voice made me look up, only to see their coach scowling at me, “I have given you so much room and still you find ways to take more. It’s insane how good you’ve all gotten at getting under my skin. If you weren’t talented I’d have benched you for the season.”
Griffin had taken off his glove, rubbing the back of my head with his hand as he stroked behind my ear with his thumb.
Why did that feel so good?
“Sorry, Coach. It’s just been a lot of changes for us.” Mick said as I nuzzled deeper into Griffin.
I missed Vaughn.
Where was Vaughn?
“You’re hot, little weed. You feeling okay?” Griffin leans in, his lips touching my forehead like he is testing the tempature.
“You missed.” I muttered against his chest. Leaning back I pursed my lips, rewarded with a soft kiss that his coach made a choking sound at.
I don’t think he’s a fan of me.
“Clover baby!” I look up to see Mama Joy. Coach looked like he was going to have a stroke from everyone just waltzing around where his team would be coming out for the game, “I was looking for you.” Her eyes cut to the two Alpha’s and then the coach.
“Why do I feel like I’m about to get more bad news?” Coach asked, rubbing his temples like he was getting a headache.
“Their Omega is about to go into pre-heat.” Mama Joy explained, wrapping her arm around me, “I’m going to take you back home to your nest for a bit. This is just a little spike. Your blood work said it should just be a day or two. Your real heat is about two weeks away. We’ve decided to stay a bit longer to help you settle some more, okay baby?” I curled into her side, feeling almost loopy with relief.
“I love you Mama Joy.”
“I know you do. And I love you too.” She held me close as she looked at the two boys, “Play your game. She will be fine. Don’t tell Apollo yet because he will have a mental breakdown not being close by to help. You know how controlling my son can be.”
“And when you come home you can naked cuddle me.”
A snort sounds as Griffin, finally not seeming as tense as he was, leans in to rub me with his scent. It makes me sigh out in pleasure.
“I can do a lot more than-”
“Is anyone aware of the fact we are playing a hockey game in five minutes? I mean does anyone respect the fact that I am the Coach of this team? You’re just sitting here, having conversations about things that are not hockey tunnel conversations.” His face is red as he motions around in frustration.
Poor man needed a hug.
I liked hugs.
Throwing my arms around him, I squeeze around his waist.
“Sometimes I get grumpy too.” He is frozen as I give him another squeeze, “Hugs feel nice. Do you feel better?”
“I feel uncomfortable.”
“Hunh, maybe we should all hug you. Group hug style. Maybe that will-”
“I think I should retire.” Mick gently peels me off their coach, who walks away seeming more flustered than ever.
Me? I felt hot. A bit confused too.
“Where’s Vaughn? Are you going to tell him who was in the crowd? Why are they here? Is he okay? Does he need a hug? I feel like hugging everyone right now. Can I actually have a hug? I think that would make me less hot.” I babble as I pace. Mick waddles over in all his goalie gear to hug me.
Didn’t fix the hot.
Was I really going into preheat?
I’ve had small spikes in the past. The way Mama Joy had started talking about it made me feel like this wasn’t going to be like what I went through before. Or maybe it would be and the heat she was talking about happening would be a real heat.
Wait .
Why was Vaughn’s dad here again?
“Is Henrik or Jean here? They might need to carry her. She seems to be losing some steam.” Mick said.
Steam?
Funny because I was so hot and we were near ice. Did that mean I was actually steaming or was he saying it as a joke?
“Let me go grab them. I’ll be right back.” Her scent faded and I took the extra few seconds to cuddle into my Beta.
Mickey always smelled perfectly. I always felt calm around him. The way he held me, rocking slightly also added to the effect and made me wish they could come home with me.
Focus Clover. They have a hockey game. You’re at a hockey arena. Griffin just tried to beat up Vaughn’s dad. Vaughn’s dad hadn’t even tried to defend himself. That is so weird. There is so much drama going on and you’re all slick brained.
Slick.
Knots.
Griffin’s knot in my hand as I stroke him.
Vaughn’s knot inflating between my lips as he slides his cock through my slick slit.
Apollo and Mickey sharing me.
Naked .
My mind is pulling all sorts of images and none of them were making the situation make any more sense. In fact, it was as if things were only getting worse.
“There you are. There was no press stuff needed. Why is Mama Joy here and why does Clover smell like that?” Vaughn’s face is in my neck before I knew what was going on.
A yelp left my lips as his tongue darts out, tasting my skin. My eyes open as I stare at him, feeling the way that slick was coming out of me. It was making a mess of my panties. Maybe Vaughn would want this ruined pair too.
This was a lot different from how I’ve felt before.
Vaughn’s eyes narrow in suspicion before he seems to realize what is going on with me.
Oops .
“Shit.”
“Shit indeed. We can’t tell Apollo either. It’s just a spike right now. Real heat is in two weeks.” Griffin offered up the information for him, “Though, our little weed said we can all naked cuddle her later.”
Naked cuddles.
I wanted that so bad.
“Please tell me you cleaned your cup lately. I don’t want us all having to experience your jock itch up close.” Mick complains.
“Hey kiddo, you ready to go home?” Henrik spoke in such a calming tone. I wonder if it was how Beta’s talked around Omega’s and Alpha’s.
Growing up Beta males had been way more domineering. They had been the rulers of the village. They had final say in what we could learn or wear. They made up the rules that we had to follow and gave everyone jobs.
I much preferred being around Beta’s like Mickey and Henrik. They were calming and soothing. They made me feel more balanced with them around.
“I’m ready to go.” I stepped away from Mickey and wobbled, thankful when Henrik scooped me up.
Vaughn gave a little growl, earning an elbow to the gut from Mickey over the action.
“He’s protecting our Omega for us.” Mick explained to the Alpha, “If you need anything let someone know and we will leave the game and come home to you. Unless you want us to come home now. You’re more important to us than a game.”
I shook my head at his suggestion.
They needed to play the game. This was their dream and as much as I liked the idea of all of us naked together in my nest, I wasn’t going to be the reason they missed games.
“Win the game and come home after. With pizza. Pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapenos please. That’s my favorite.” Vaughn smiled wider.
“That’s my favorite too. I’ll bring you the game puck. See you soon, cherry girl.” He kisses my cheek before stepping back and letting everyone else say goodbye to me.
As we head out my eyes start to close. I just needed a little rest.
