Chapter 14
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Crew
While our group date the other night hadn’t ended exactly how I planned, I have no complaints.
Would I have loved to tease my scent matches while getting Kiara off?
Abso-fucking-lutely.
But there are some lines even I won’t push. If my girl isn’t comfortable messing around, then I will not push the issue.
Obviously, I knew we were staying at Kiara’s parental pack’s home, but I guess it didn’t click in my mind that we would be messing around in places they might also have done the same things.
I’ve only met the rest of her parental pack once, but I’ve known Akira my entire life.
Just the thought of what they might have gotten up to was enough to kill even my over-the-top omega arousal I’ve been suffering with since meeting my scent matches.
That’s something they don’t give us enough details on. Since we spend most of our lives not smelling people’s real scents, it’s a smack in the face when you can suddenly smell the most delicious scents that make your cock instantly hard.
I hate that Kiara’s scent is still a mystery to me, but I’m hoping that won’t last much longer. My heat is still a month and a half away, but I’m determined to end the heat with her wearing my mate mark—consensually, of course.
At least we’ve made it through our work shifts and we have three nights of dates to look forward to.
“So what do you think Alexander has planned for us?” I ask Kiara as we move around our room, getting ready for our date.
He wouldn’t tell us the plan. All he said was to wear something comfortable over our swimsuits. I’m just hoping he meant that since I’m wearing my swim trunks and my favorite tee.
Kiara puts a little more effort into her appearance, wearing a cute sundress with her hair pulled off her neck again. Her makeup is light, and honestly, I don’t think she needs it.
My girl is gorgeous just the way she is.
“I have no clue,” she admits, glancing at me over her shoulder. “I don’t know what shoes to wear.”
I snicker, moving to stand behind her and wrapping my arms around her waist. “You could always refuse to put on shoes until he tells us where we’re going. But he said to be comfortable, so I’d say either flip-flops or tennis shoes, depending on what you’re feeling.”
She hums, eyeing her closet once more as I press a kiss to her bare shoulder. I fucking love summer and Kiara’s love of sundresses.
Before she can decide, there’s a knock on the door.
Without moving, I call out, “Yes?”
The door pushes open, and someone clears their throat. We both turn to find Alexander standing there in a similar state as myself.
“You’re ready?”
Kiara sighs. “I was just trying to figure out what shoes to wear.”
“Oh, you won’t need any.”
I raise an eyebrow at that. “A date with no shoes needed? Does that mean we’re not leaving the house?”
“We’re not. I hope that’s okay.” My alpha looks nervous, and I get a hint of burnt vanilla in his sexy scent. “I probably shouldn’t have assumed—”
“It’s fine, Alex,” Kiara speaks softly, stepping away from me so she can approach the alpha. She lays her hand on his arm, a smile on her lips as she stares up at him. “We just want to spend time with you. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing, I promise.”
He stares at her for a moment before lifting his eyes to mine. At my nod, his shoulders relax. “I thought I’d already messed this up. I haven’t really done much dating, so I was taking a guess on what the two of you might enjoy.”
“I’m sure whatever you have planned will be perfect,” I assure him.
“Okay. Good. Then we’re heading to the master suite.” He hesitates. “I got permission from Evelyn and the rest of your parental pack. We’re only using the bathroom and the sitting room. They’ve asked that we not enter the bedroom—especially the nest.”
A shiver runs through Kiara as she gags. “As if we’d want to.”
“That’s what I told them.” Alexander chuckles. “Shall we?”
He leads us down the hallway and into the other wing. Yes, this place is big enough for wings—at least two of them.
Ren’s room used to be in the parental pack’s wing, but once he turned eight, he got to choose a new room in the wing where Mason, Kiara, and Delilah have rooms. Kiara said it was the same for Mason and Delilah.
It takes a few minutes to traverse across the house because it’s massive, but when we reach the master suite, we find the door already cracked open. Soft light and quiet music filter out of the room, and I’m bursting at the seams to find out what Alexander has planned for us.
Stepping into the room, I’m surprised to find three women standing there next to three tables. “Oh.”
Alexander glances between the two of us, as if gauging our reactions before shrugging. “I thought we’d have a home spa night. I’ve arranged multiple things for us, but if you don’t want to do any of them, just let me know. I figured we could start the night with massages.”
“Oh, hell yes,” I moan, grabbing the hem of my shirt and pulling it off. “Just tell me which table is mine.”
Kiara giggles, grabbing my shirt when I go to throw it to the side. “Why don’t you wait until they tell us to undress before stripping down?”
I glance at the massage therapists, wrinkling my nose when I see their eyes averted.
“Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. Sorry, I didn’t mean to make anyone uncomfortable. It’s just been a really long time since I’ve had a massage.”
The oldest woman, who I’m guessing is in her forties, laughs. “It’s quite all right. We were made aware that this date night is part of your intended pack’s courting, and we don’t want anyone to be uncomfortable. We’re quite used to naked people on our tables.”
That causes me to snort, and I decide I like her. “Well, I’m Crew, and I think I’d like you to take care of my massage.”
“My name is Lila, and I’m perfectly happy with that arrangement as long as Alpha Alexander is?”
Alexander scoffs. “We can knock that shit off right now, Lila. You’re acting like you didn’t babysit my ass when I was younger. Shit, don’t tell my mama I cussed at you. The other two women are her daughters, Jessica and Hayden.”
Both women seem to be about my age, and I wonder if Lila is older than she looks—not that it matters.
“It’s nice to see you again, Hayden.” Kiara smiles at one of the two brunettes. “Hayden and I were in some classes together in school. Jessica had already graduated.”
Which makes her older than I thought.
“We’ll step into the hallway,” Lila says, stepping toward the door. “The three of you can strip down to your level of comfort and get under the sheets. Kiara, do you have a preference on who does your massage?”
“No, I’m good with whoever.”
Lila nods. “Perfect. Once you’re settled, just call out, and we’ll get started.”
As soon as the door shuts behind them, I push my trunks off. I pause long enough to grab them off the floor and walk naked across the room.
A choked gargle has me turning to find Alexander staring at me with wide eyes and mouth agape.
“Oh, something you should know about me, alpha.” A wicked grin lights up my face. “I’m not shy with my body. Feel free to look all you want.”
Kiara sighs. “He really has no shame.”
My cock twitches under my alpha’s perusal as his lust-filled scent hits my nose. My eyes fall shut as I suck in a lungful. I’m going to be hard all fall, I realize. Because every time I smell anything pumpkin, it’ll remind me of my alpha.
“Damn it. A little warning next time, omega,” Alexander growls. “Unless you’re trying to send me into a rut.”
My eyes pop open, and I find he’s turned his back to us. “I mean…I’m not sure I’m against that.”
“Behave,” Kiara hisses as she climbs onto the table. She’s still wearing her bikini, but as soon as she settles under the sheet, she removes it.
Deciding to be a good boy, I climb onto the table and under the sheet. “You can turn around now.”
He huffs, pulling his shirt off as he turns to face us. As soon as he sees us watching him, a soft smile turns up his lips. “So this was a good idea?”
“The best,” Kiara assures him.
“Now, lose the trunks and get under the sheet so we can enjoy our massages,” I demand.
When Alexander freezes, I lift an eyebrow. If he thinks I’m looking away, he’s sadly mistaken.
He finally seems to realize this, slowly pushing off his trunks and giving us an eyeful of his massive cock.
I’ve been with enough alphas during my heats that I know not all alphas are massive, but this one definitely is, and he’s not fully hard.
Damn. I wanna ride that cock right now.
“Knock it off, Crew,” he grumbles as he climbs onto the table. “As much as I enjoy watching you lick your lips while you stare at my knot, your pheromones are filling the damn room. I’d rather not be hard the entire time someone else is giving me a massage.”
A rush of possessiveness surges through me, and I clench my fists. Just like that, my erection is gone. I’m not a fan of that idea.
“Much better.” A sigh of relief comes from Alexander as he turns his head to meet my gaze. “There’s no reason to be jealous, omega. I only have eyes for the two of you and my pack mates.”
“Damn straight,” I grumble before calling out, “We’re ready!”
An hour later, I’m nothing but putty on the massage table. Lila gave me the best massage of my life.
“Marry me, Lila.” I turn my head to stare up at her with pleading eyes.
She snorts, shaking her head. “I already have a pack, and I’m not looking to add to it—especially not someone my daughters’ age and who is being courted by their scent matches.”
“Fair,” I agree. “Will you at least leave your number so I can set up a recurring appointment?”
“That I can do. I’ll leave my card on the table. Enjoy the rest of your evening.” She pats my back before turning her attention to Alexander. “We’ll see ourselves out.”
“Thank you again—all three of you. This was the perfect way to start our evening.”
We all call out our goodbyes, and when the door closes behind them, I turn back to face Alexander. “Now what?”
“Now we get dressed. We have facials and hair masks. Then a paraffin hand treatment and exfoliating body wash, followed by a long soak in the massive whirlpool tub.”
Another moan slips from my lips. “That sounds amazing.”
“It really does.” Kiara hums. “And you were nervous about the date you planned. This is perfect.”
He sits up, ducking his head, and if I’m not mistaken, he’s blushing.
How. Fucking. Adorable. Is. That?
Rather than draw attention to it, I sit up and face Kiara. “Time to get dressed, baby.”
For the next few hours, we pamper ourselves and get to know Alexander better.
I’ve heard so much about him—about all of them—over the years that I felt like I knew them before I ever met them. But getting to know the nuanced alpha who fate has declared as one of my perfect matches.
He’s so down to earth and gets embarrassed when either Kiara or I compliment him. Which, of course, makes me want to do it more.
There’s just something about a man who blushes that gets me going.
We’re still a little damp when Alexander walks us back to our room, but I don’t think any of us mind a bit.
I needed this.
Working as a nurse in the NICU is hard on our bodies and our minds.
Tonight had helped with both.
My only complaint is that I have hours to go until I can go to sleep—the downside to working overnights. But I’ll never complain. I like the quiet of night shifts, which are made better by having Kiara at my side.
“I had a fantastic time,” Alexander says as we stop outside our door.
“Me too. I think we need to make pampering a more frequent thing,” Kiara says.
“Agreed.” I sneak a glance at my alpha. “Maybe it can be something the three of us share?”
Alexander’s smile grows. “I like the sound of that, but maybe we can make it for the entire pack from time to time.”
I shrug. “Yeah, I guess.”
“Don’t be a brat, Crew,” Kiara admonishes, but I can hear the smile in her voice.
“Sorry, baby. I don’t know what to tell you—I was born this way.”
Alexander chuckles. “I know one way to shut up a brat.”
I scoff, planning to sass him, but then his lips are on mine, and I’ll admit, he’s right. Kissing me is definitely the best way to shut me up.
I reach for Kiara, and she clings to my fingers as Alexander presses me against the door. He deepens the kiss, and my cock thickens as my scent fills the hallway.
Would it be weird to invite him into our room and ravage him?
Clearly, Kiara would be invited, but I don’t think she’d mind too much.
I whine when he pulls away, my eyes flying open in time to see him leaning down to press his lips to Kiara’s.
Well, fuck.
That might be hotter than him kissing me.
Watching as she melts into him, her fingers still clinging to mine.
Yeah, having scent matches who want the woman I love is exactly what I’ve been wishing for.
All three of us are panting when Alexander pulls away from Kiara.
He licks his lips as he glances between the two of us before taking a step backward. “Thank you both for the lovely date.”
He spins on his heel, leaving the two of us standing there and staring after him.
At least there’s one upside to both of us dating these men—when they leave us wanting, we have each other.
“I want you naked and on the bed,” I growl, spinning around to pin her against the door.
“Yes,” she moans and reaches behind her to twist the doorknob. We stumble inside, quickly undressing one another as we share heated kisses.
Yeah, I can totally get behind this.
I wonder if Alexander will go to one of his pack mates to help him with his throbbing cock.
That thought makes me even more feral as I bend Kiara over the bed and plunge into her.
“I love you,” I groan, pistoning my hips.
I’m way too turned on right now. I need to come quickly, then I’ll be able to last longer for my girl.
Thank fuck, she knows how this goes because it only takes a few seconds for me to explode inside her.
“On the bed,” I murmur, slapping her ass as I pull out. “I owe you an orgasm before I fuck your brains out again.”
She giggles, already climbing onto the bed, and fuck, I love this woman so damn much.
She’s perfect for me.
