Chapter 11
CHAPTER ELEVEN
Kiara
Ilove waking up in Crew’s arms, and I’m glad I never have to give it up.
I’m more than a little embarrassed about my reaction to Crew being scent-matched to Mason’s pack. With as long as I’ve known Crew, you’d think I'd know he wouldn’t just ditch me, but it’s clear I have more insecurities than I thought I did.
Luckily for me, Crew made it clear just how much he loves me last night. Now, I just need to convince myself to crawl out of bed and face the other three men I ran from yesterday.
Crew was the one who snuck out of the room to get us dinner in between bouts of showering me with his love. But I know I can’t avoid them any longer.
I startle when someone knocks on the door, and Crew sits up abruptly, rubbing his eyes. “Yeah?”
The door opens, and Davis ducks his head inside. He smiles when his eyes land on me before trailing down.
My eyes widen as I yank the sheet up to cover my chest. I absolutely forgot I was naked.
Ignoring the heat in my cheeks, I meet Davis’s gaze head-on. “Did you need something?”
“Umm…” He clears his throat, giving his head a quick shake before he nods. “Yes. I made breakfast, and I’d love it if the two of you could join us.”
My stomach grumbles at the mention of breakfast, causing both Davis and Crew to snicker.
“Keep it up, boys. Pissing off a woman before she’s even had her coffee is a bad idea.”
“Sorry, Kiki. I’ll have your coffee waiting for you—assuming you take it the same way?”
I grin. “Yup, and Crew takes his like me.”
Which means enough cream and sugar to cover up the taste of the coffee. Coffee smells amazing, but it tastes nowhere near as good. But seeing as it’s the nectar of the gods, I can’t go without at least two cups a day.
“Perfect. Don’t take too long. Unlike the two of you, we have to go into work today.” Davis winks before ducking back out and shutting the door behind him.
“Davis just saw my tits,” I mumble, burying my head in Crew’s neck.
He chuckles, holding me close before throwing the covers off. He disentangles himself from me and climbs out of bed. “I bet you made his whole day.”
“Yeah, because my tits are super impressive.” I roll my eyes, following him out of the bed. I dig into my overnight bag and pull out the PJs I meant to wear to bed.
“I mean, I love your tits, baby. You’re a perfect handful. Anymore than that, and I wouldn’t know what to do with them.”
I send him an unimpressed look over my shoulder as I get dressed in my PJ shorts and an old shirt of Crew’s I stole years ago. I should probably grab a bra, but there’s no way I’m putting one on before I need to.
Meanwhile, Crew just pulls on a pair of gray sweats, and it’s very clear he’s gone commando.
“Really, Crew?” He just smirks as I eye his dick, which grows under my attention. “Decided to give them a show already?”
“What can I say? I like showing off. Now, come on. Clearly, I didn’t feed you enough last night if your stomach was growling that loudly.” He hooks his arm over my shoulders and leads me out of the room.
I shake my head at his antics, pressing against him as we make our way downstairs. “Or it could be that we just worked off too many calories with your insatiable horniness.”
“Insatiable horniness, you say?” a voice behind us asks, startling me.
A quick glance over my shoulder reveals Alexander pulling on a black butcher’s frock over his black tank top as he follows us down the stairs.
My face heats up once more, while Crew just shrugs. “It’s an omega thing, and it’s unlikely to change.”
“I’m not going to lie, I like the sound of that, omega,” Alexander says, a bit of a growl to his words, which causes both me and Crew to shiver. “But for now, we should get the two of you fed.”
He squeezes between the two of us, placing his hands on our lower backs and leads us into the kitchen where Davis and Mason are setting down plates of food at the kitchen table.
“Good morning,” Mason calls out, his dimples flashing. “I hope you slept well.”
Crew snickers. “Well, this is awkward as fuck.”
Any remaining tension snaps as we all laugh. Alexander continues leading us to the table where he pulls out a seat for each of us before moving to sit opposite us.
“Everything smells amazing, Davis,” I tell him with a smile, my eyes darting around the table. “I really appreciate you cooking, but before we eat, I just want to apologize for the way I took off yesterday.”
“No worries, Kiki,” Mason assures me as he drops into the seat at the head of the table to my left, reaching over to squeeze my hand. “We were all shocked to find out Crew is our scent match. You clearly needed some time, and that’s completely understandable.”
Davis nods. “We talked with Crew yesterday, but since you missed that conversation, we want to make our intentions clear. Kiara, we want to court both you and Crew—together or separately. Whatever makes the two of you most comfortable.”
“I feel like you missed our interest when we were younger,” Alexander says with a scoff. “So, we want to be a hundred percent upfront. We’re interested in both of you.”
“Oh,” I squeak. “Really? Why?”
Mason chuckles, shaking his head. “Why? Really? That’s the question you have?”
I bury my face in my hands. “Fuck me.”
“I think it’s a little too soon for that, kitten. We do have to head into work.” When I peek at Alexander from between my fingers, he just winks.
“That wasn’t an offer, Alexander. This is an awkward breakfast conversation, by the way.” I take a deep breath, turning my attention to Mason. “And you want this too? Don’t you think it’s weird since our parents are in a pack?”
He shakes his head. “The fact that you were my stepsister is the only reason I didn’t pursue you when we were younger.
Well, that and Crew. Eventually, my mom and Akira pulled me aside to talk to me about how I feel about you.
They assured me there was nothing wrong with it, but they asked me to wait until we were both adults. ”
“Oh, my gods! Our parents know? That’s it. I’m going to find a hole to bury myself in.”
I pout when all four men just laugh at me.
“You’re all assholes.” Deciding to ignore them, I dig into my breakfast.
They follow suit and soon the only sounds are us devouring the amazing breakfast Davis cooked for us.
“Kiki has told me a lot about all of you,” Crew admits, setting his fork down. “But I don’t think she ever told me what the three of you do for work.”
Mason quickly swallows his last bite of pancakes.
“I’m a handyman of sorts. I got a really boring business degree but didn’t know what I wanted to do with it.
I ended up getting a job with an older alpha who did home renovations and odd jobs here and in a few nearby towns.
He was looking to retire, so he sold me the business after he taught me everything he knows. ”
“Does that mean you’re doing the renovations on your pack house?”
“My crew is doing most of it, but I stop in and help them when I can.” Mason grins. “Unfortunately, I spend most of my time traveling between sites and checking on everyone else’s work rather than doing it myself. Putting that business degree to good use.”
“What about you, Alexander?”
The alpha smiles as he pushes his plate away.
“I run a butcher shop in town with my brother, Cody. It’s been in the family for years.
Luckily, neither of us wanted to do anything different.
Otherwise, I don’t know what our parental pack would’ve done.
Two of our dads have been running the place, but they’re practically retired at this point.
They only come in once a week, so Cody and I can have a day off together. ”
Crew returns his smile. “That’s sweet. I’ve never been to a butcher’s shop before. I’ll have to have Kiki bring me by sometime.”
“It’s not all that exciting,” I assure him. “But it’s the only place we get our meat from—even when it was their dads running it.”
“And I’m a real estate agent.” Davis pushes to his feet, collecting everyone’s empty plates. “My office is in town, but I’m not there too often. I work in all the local towns, which are quite spread out, so I spend a lot of time in my car.”
“Oh, that means you can help me and Kiki find a place.” Excitement tinges Crew’s words as the other men freeze.
Davis clears his throat after setting the plates in the sink. “I’d be happy to help with that, but…”
“But maybe you can wait before starting your search,” Mason says, picking up for his beta. “With us courting you, it might be better to stay here while we see how things go?”
I bite my lip as I turn my attention to Crew. He considers Mason before nodding. “Kiki and I will discuss it. It does make sense for us to wait at least a little while, but that’s something we’ll decide together.”
“Of course,” Alexander says, his smile never slipping. “And when is your first day at the hospital?”
“Tomorrow night. We’re going to be working the overnight shift in the NICU—that’s the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
They have some nurses on vacation, so we’re going to be working weird days,” I say, both nervous and excited about our new adventure.
“We’re working Tuesday and Wednesday nights, then Friday and Saturday nights.
But going forward, we’ll be working Thursday through Saturday nights.
Unless they need us to work overtime, of course. ”
“It seems none of us work jobs that are a normal nine to five, which is helpful.” Davis glances between his pack mates. “Now that we’ve made our intentions clear, we’d like to take the two of you out on dates. We can handle that however the two of you want—”
“We should all go out together the first time,” Crew says, cutting him off. “After that, Kiki and I can go on a date with one of you at a time. Then we can go from there.”
I shake my head as Crew just bowls over any plans the others have. He’s used to my indecisive ass, who can never pick out where we should eat or what we should do, so he just takes charge.
“Okay. We can do that.” Mason pulls his phone out. “Let me just pull up the pack calendar, and we can see what days work best for all of us.”
Fifteen minutes later, we have a group date set for Thursday night and individual dates with the three of them for Sunday through Tuesday.
“Okay, I have to go before I’m late,” Alexander says with a glance at his watch. “Cody won’t let me hear the end of it if I am.”
He leans over to kiss Mason before pushing to his feet, brushing his lips against Davis’s as he passes.
He pauses behind me and Crew, leaning down to wrap his arms around me from behind and kiss the top of my head.
“I’m so fucking glad you’re home, Kiki. And that you brought a delicious omega home with you. ”
“Where’s my kiss?” Crew asks when the alpha releases me.
Alexander glances between the two of us before shrugging and leaning over to press his lips to Crew’s forehead. “See you later, Crew.”
Davis and Mason are right behind him, giving each other kisses before hugging me and Crew.
Then it’s just the two of us, and I’m left wondering what the hell just happened.
“I feel like I was just in a hurricane. Did that really just happen?”
Crew grins. “It sure did. Let’s do the dishes quickly and go unpack. Then I’ll fuck you into a coma so we can take a nap.”
Well, who would I be to say no to that?
