Chapter 50
Chapter Fifty
QUINN
Iwake up to the sweet smell of cinnamon and Kade’s deep breathing. His face is all I see. Which is a lovely surprise, but not what I was expecting.
The cabin lights are dimmed, outside is dark, and no one else is moving. Untangling myself from Kade, I nearly step on Roshka, who’s hiding in the shadows at my feet. A small light flicks on, illuminating where I need to go. I follow it, finding Santiago wide awake and sitting up.
“You were having a nightmare,” he explains, even before I ask how Kade ended up near me.
I have no issue with him being next to me, but it wasn’t how we took off. Kade generally wouldn’t invite himself into my space without reason. The bad dreams make sense.
“I need to go to the bathroom,” I whisper.
He gives me a small smile, and my heart gallops like a wild horse in response.
Doing my business in the bathroom gives me the chance to deal with the nightmares.
I know what stirred them—Victor, but it’s not him too.
I carry a lot of guilt knowing I left my sister and my mother basically defenseless, but there was no other way.
Invariably, my thoughts shift to Marco. It’s hard to fathom how little time has passed since my last visit, and how different my life is now.
I miss him desperately. Same with Deena.
I splash water on my face in an attempt to lock out the bad memories.
The water is cold enough to shock my racing anxiety into something manageable.
Instead of returning to my seat, I sit next to Santiago.
He offers me one of his AirPods. I expected music, but he’s listening to someone reading.
The narrator’s voice is silky, the pace slow.
“It’s a podcast. They read books with the aim of putting the listener to sleep.”
“Do you always have trouble falling to sleep?” I ask, wondering if I missed the signs.
“Not always, bebe, but there’s a lot happening.”
“That’s true.” I hand back his AirPod, going to stand up. “I’ll let you get some rest.”
Santiago stops me, interlacing our fingers, so it’s near impossible to free myself. Admittedly, anytime he touches me, I give in. I let him pull me onto his lap, both of us moving to shift the armrest out of the way. “This is all I needed.”
He reaches up at the same time I lean down, and compared to all our other kisses, this is a very innocent make-out session. Given the flight attendant is up in her curtained-off zone, and the pilots are only a closed door away, it makes sense.
After a few sweet kisses, I climb off his lap.
“Can I run through some things with you?” he asks, his head so close to mine, I’m surviving on amber-scented air. He holds my phone. “I changed your password code to 2222, only so it would be easy for me to work with. Change it back.”
“It has face recognition. I hardly use a code, but what you changed it to works.”
Santiago leans in close and points to the new apps he installed.
“How is the internet so good up here?”
“Virtues of being who I am and who Aleksei is.” Santiago grins before pointing out one of the newer apps.
“This one is active all the time. It’s a tracker.
If anyone checks your phone and opens it, it will take them through to a list of Michelin-star restaurants based on your location.
The history on it will show you were in Russia, looking at your options there.
Remember, though, it is always working. Kade, Aleksei, and I each have the tracker too. ”
He takes the phone. “This is how you use it to track us.” Santiago runs through the process a couple of times before handing it back. “Are you comfortable with that, bebe?” There’s a press of his designation that accompanies his question.
“I’d tell you if I wasn’t. You know that.” I grab his hand, confirming my words and using our bond to do it again. “We don’t split up, and it won’t be an issue.”
“You know it’s never that simple. Victor is already playing games with Aleksei. Given your history with him, I’d rather us be flying to visit Ronin.”
“About that…” I start, but another rush of his designation stops me mid-sentence.
“Quinn, I will shoot Ronin myself if needs be. I wouldn’t let anything happen to Aleksei. We need to focus on the four of us right now. Every other person can go fuck themselves.”
I flick up the armrest and lean into him, eager to offer him any comfort I can after his rousing speech.
Santiago lifts his arm and I nestle into him. “I’ve let my father know I’m close to home. If we get the chance, I’d like you to meet him and the rest of my family. Including those in the business.”
“I’d like that too. Considering we’re pack, it’s pretty important.”
He drops to kiss the top of my head. “It is. And while they’re important people, and I can’t simply walk away from my role in the Cartel, you’re my priority.
I’ll ruin alliances, break business deals, and kill without thinking too hard about it.
I’ll probably end up saying the same thing a hundred times because we just packed, but the truth is, I know I’m always going to be on edge because of how much I cherish you. ”
“You know I am beyond happy, don’t you? I hope you can feel it in our bond. We happened in the blink of an eye, but I knew you were my scent-matched Alpha the first time you kissed my cheek at the airport. Suave move, by the way.”
“I wasn’t letting you go, bebe. You were mine—you are mine—and this is what’s important to me.” His hands move as he speaks, emphasizing that I’m most important to him.
“Santiago,” I murmur, forcing myself to stop physically responding to his touch.
I slide my hand up his face and stare deep into his eyes. I’m so lucky I found this man; he’s as deep as an ocean and ready to face our future.
“I pushed myself to finish my studies as soon as humanly possible, and then I put the same mindset to my job. I did incredible things in a short amount of time, but my drive was only fueled by this need for him to pay. I desperately want to be the one to end Victor’s life, but Sergey opened my eyes to the fact, death is death.
If opportunity presents itself, and I can top the whole vial of thallium down his throat, I want that, but I want him dead more. ”
Santiago presses a kiss to my palm. “You have three men in your life who will stop the world if it helps you achieve your dreams. He will be dead, whether by your hand or ours. I promise you that, bebe.”
“We don’t get caught, either.”
“I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that.
Jesus, Quinn, you do realize who you packed, don’t you?
” he teases before he sobers up. “Life as the Omega of two players in the Russian Mafia and the Cartel is going to be complicated. You will be at risk because of who you’re packed to, but I know you’ll cope with that pressure probably better than we will.
Same with Kade. He won’t let being a Beta stop him. ”
“He’s always been like that.” I sit back, facing the front again, and smile at Aleksei, who’s been awake and listening for a while.
“Wife,” he demands, instantly expecting more of my focus. “My cock is so fucking hard right now. Listening to you talk of death, I need to blow in your mouth. First, let me see you ride Santiago.”
Santiago leans over, his lips at the shell of my ear. “The flight attendant is asleep. She also knows not to come into the main cabin.”
A thrill races down my spine, bringing a bubble of desire that coats my skin. Santiago drags his nose along my jaw, groaning softly. “Bebe, stand up for me.”
I jump out of my seat, wiggling my skirt up to my waist. There’s a wave of unspoken praise from them that is so visceral, it’s warm like a touch.
Santiago trails his hand up my back, pressing down gently on my shoulders. His fingers slowly trail up my inside thigh, lingering on my panties. A couple of strokes, and he slips them past the elastic, finding me ready for him.
His fingers disappear before my panties get removed. Another touch on my back, and Santiago guides me to the position he wants me in. His hands glide down my body, and he parts my ass cheeks before he dips in and spears me with his tongue.
He makes a smutty noise, like a chuckle and a groan, but Aleksei does too. The symphony ramps up my desire. Santiago laps at the proof of how much I enjoy listening.
There’s movement around me, and I lift my head, catching Aleksei opening his suit pants and freeing his cock. But he’s not the only one. Kade repositions himself and buries his hands in his pants, the soft light of the cabin giving me a view of them both starting to jacking off.
With our audience, Santiago drives me insane. He licks and sucks my pussy, plunging his fingers inside my body, priming me perfectly, until I turn around, needing more than foreplay.
I stand up, turn around, and bend over. I make sure both Kade and Aleksei can see how wet and swollen I am. I hear their responses, and it strokes the flames of my desire more. I push Santiago against the chair before I work his pants open and then straddle his lap.
He’s as hard as marble, only warm. I run my hand up over him, teasing him with my touch. Each stroke gets longer, more purposeful, and I start spreading his pre-come until all of him is lubricated. I rub him over my entrance, and god, even that feels so good.
Santiago’s fingers comb through my hair until he cups my face, holds me still, and kisses me stupid as I start to lower down onto his cock.
He thrusts up, filling me in one deep stroke.
I whimper into his mouth. My pussy burns as I stretch around his thickness, but the twinge is carnally beautiful, our bodies becoming one as we rock and grind against each other.
It’s nearly embarrassing how fast my orgasm builds. When Santiago pulls my hair and forces me to arch back, he takes over and slams inside my body until there are stars in my eyes. The moment he tongues his bite on the side of my throat, I shatter around him.
He groans, but he doesn’t slow how he fucks.
My body is his to dominate. I let go, willing him to ruin me, and he plays my body until I’m moaning his name.
I feel him erupt inside me, pleasure waterfalling over us both.
It’s beautiful how we share the moment, our bodies alight, our bond pulsing.
He keeps me there, our breaths mingling until his cock stops twitching.
My head falls to his shoulder, and I could fall asleep if it weren’t for the continual press of Aleksei.
“Thank you,” I whisper against Santiago’s mouth.
The glare I get from him suggests I don’t need to thank my Alpha for orgasms. His gentle hands help me stand.
I go to move off, but he makes it impossible.
He anchors his hand on my hip, and with the other, he dips his fingers back into my pussy.
I’m overly stimulated, feeling his gentle caresses, and I nearly ask what he’s doing until he drags them back out, his fingers covered in his release.
His eyes are locked on mine as he reaches over and slathers his come over my engagement ring.
I probably shouldn’t find it as hot as I do.
“And yes, bebe, with your new engagement ring, I’ll be doing the same. Constantly.”
Only when he’s satisfied does he let me go.
A soft push guides me towards Kade. Aleksei growls as I disappear from his view, but I hear him surging to his feet at the same time I lean forward and suck on Kade.
I have always loved the way he tastes, and now is no exception.
Kade is ready to come. I get on my knees.
“Open up, little whore. Let me fill this throat.” His voice is rough, his breathing is hurried, and his hands on my head are rough.
Exactly how I like sex sometimes.
“Jesus, watching you with Santiago, knowing this dirty fucking mouth is mine is such a turn-on.” He holds me where he wants me, making it so I can keep sucking as he comes.
His groans get louder, and his hips move faster as he comes and starts filling my mouth. “Fuck, yes, take it all.”
Once he’s done, I look up at him and lick his cock clean in a very dirty way. He sits back down and takes a very satisfied exhale, his coy smile snapping us from our little roleplay. “Thank you, Quinny.”
“You are so welcome,” I whisper, leaning up to give him a kiss before standing. “Excuse me a moment.”
Aleksei is surprisingly patient. That’s not to say his presence is easy to ignore. It’s like standing safely behind glass, watching a thunderstorm roll in. I turn to face him; he’s standing up with his pants pooling around his thighs, a dangerous smile on his face.
He points to a spot in front of him. “Here, maya.”
I get to the exact place he said, and he spins me so fast, I nearly fall over. His hands are in my hair, and he tugs my head backward with one hand, pushing me forward with the other. Making me face them, bent over and restrained.
I blaze. My desire skyrockets, and the cabin plumes with my scent and theirs. It’s heavenly.
Aleksei steers me into the aisle, so there’s no way they can’t see, then he fills me with his giant dick in one move that has my eyes rolling backward and a loud moan spilling from my lips.
And then the only sound is the hard slap of our bodies and the grunt of exertion Aleksei makes as he fucks me hard and fast.
Pleasure nips over my skin, made so much better by how sensitive I am to them. With Santiago and Kade watching, everything is heightened and nothing else matters.
He slaps my ass hard, and I go off. I cry out, my body overrun with rapture. When I come, I come hard and loud, and Aleksei fucks me through it.
“Again,” he barks, slapping my ass and making sure to hit the right place each time he thrusts.
From out of nowhere, I come, and he roars as he erupts at the same time. Each jerk of his cock as he comes sends pleasure rippling.
His kiss on the back of my neck is rough too. But when he helps me to stand, his cock still buried deep inside me, he’s so gentle it takes my breath away.
“Life is too short, maya, for us not to be loving each other whenever we can.”
When I twist around, his eyes are shining bright in the low light, twinkling with trouble.
“Hopefully she got the noise-canceling headphones I insisted she has, or I’ll slit her throat.
Listening to you fall apart on your pack’s cocks is for your pack only.
Go have a shower, but I want my claim to stay right where it is.
You face Victor knowing how effortlessly you control very powerful men. ”
I take a step away, using the tops of the seats to stay upright. My legs are shaky, my body humming, my mind fortified.
Before I walk into the small bathroom, I turn back. It’s a nice view; my pack looks well and truly fucked as they redress. Yeah, life is getting better with every passing second.
