Chapter 31
“Well if it isn’t my favorite little Georgia peach, alive and well after abandoning her best friend!
” Lainey’s teasing tone makes me squeak from surprise, but then I’m wrapped in her arms and I don’t have a chance to reply before my face is being squished into her boobs.
“I’ve missed you, honey! How are you? How are things going with your neighbors? ”
I’d laugh if she wasn’t suffocating me. I pat her ribs and she releases me with a gasp. “Sorry!”
“It’s good to see you too, Lainey loo. I have so much to catch you up on.
” It feels like it’s been ages since I last saw Lainey, with me missing class for my heat and then her going MIA for a few days.
She texted me after I got home from my date with Jude asking to meet up before our English class this morning, and I’ve been dreading it.
Once I realized who Jude was it felt deceitful to talk about the pack I’m…
dating? Courting? Friends with? And not tell her the truth about who they are.
We take over a small bench in front of our class and I’m grateful no one is around to witness this conversation. “Okay, tell me everything. What happened with Mack? Did you finally meet the neighbors?”
I nod slowly, nerves halting my words. “I, um. Yeah, McKenzie and I have been on a couple of dates, and I even went to his game the other night.” A blush creeps over my cheeks when I think about how that night ended.
“But I actually need to talk to you about that. After I met the twins, I accidentally met the final member of their pack.”
Lainey squeals, gripping my hands and bouncing in her seat. “And? Is he as hot as I think he is? Tell me everything.”
I can’t help but cringe at her question and she notices, her excitement dimming. “What is it?”
“Do you know the other members of Pack Madden?”
Her eyes widen. “I didn’t even know Mack was part of a pack. I only know of him because he’s practically a god on campus and a frequent topic of the gossip mill lately.”
“Mhmm.” I clear my throat, wringing my hands together and trying not to notice how sweaty my palms are.
“McKenzie is in a pack with three other alphas. Twin brothers Paxton and Parker who are sophomores here. And an older PhD student.” I pause to see if she’ll put it together on her own, but she looks confused.
“Who is also teaching an intro level biology course while he finishes his dissertation.”
Lainey’s jaw drops. “No. There is absolutely no way you’re talking about…
that would be crazy.” She pauses, sadness etched onto her features.
“Jude must have already been living with his dad when he met the guys. We didn’t really have any contact until he moved here for school, and even then it was minimal. I never knew…”
“Jude is the mystery alpha in their pack.”
“Oh my god.” She looks shell-shocked, and I’m not sure if anything I say will make this better or if I can only make it worse. I don’t know a lot about her feelings about Jude except that they aren’t close and he feels guilty for leaving. “Posey…”
I prepare myself for her to try and forbid me to see him, but I’m stunned when she tears up and throws her arms around me instead. “We’re going to be sisters!”
“I thought you would be upset,” I gasp, relief making it feel like a thousand pound weight was just lifted off my chest.
“Upset?” Lainey’s answering laugh is watery, a couple of tears escaping down her cheeks. “This is the best news I’ve ever heard! I get a new sister and I’ll have a chance to get to know my big brother? And I get three other pseudo-brothers to torment!”
Her enthusiasm makes the bridge of my nose sting. Images of future big family gatherings with my alphas, Lainey, and our families flit across my vision with startling clarity. “I was so scared you’d be angry or feel like I was trading you in for your brother.”
She scoffs, checking her nails. “As if. I’m a goddamn delight. He’s scrooge with better clothes.”
I have to fight to hold back my laughter, but it’s difficult. “He’s different with me. Sure at first I would have agreed, but then something changed and now…” I sigh, melting into the wall as I think about our date. “I think beneath the gruff exterior he’s a really sweet alpha.”
“Alright alright I don’t need details. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy.”
My alarm goes off and we quickly gather ourselves before walking arm in arm to our shared class.
I feel light as a feather now that everything is falling into place.
I have a supportive family, an amazing best friend, and four incredible scent matches that bend over backwards to make me and each other happy.
I’m not sure what could make life better than this.
My last class of the day is a mandatory weekly biology lab. Mckenzie texted me earlier for a full breakdown of my class schedule so he could take every opportunity possible during the day to see my cute face. His words, not mine. So I save a seat for him in the back row.
The big guy told me the other day he feels guilty sitting in the front of a classroom because he’s so dang tall, so anytime we’re in class together I make an effort to find us seats in the back.
Today, though, I’m surprised to be the only person in the classroom.
The administrators office emailed me a schedule change last night, so this is my first time in bio lab at this day and time. Maybe it was a clerical error?
Mack saunters in with a smug expression on his handsome face, instantly making me suspicious. He only ever looks like that when he’s gotten away with something. “Hey pretty girl. Fancy seeing you here.”
My arms cross over my chest as I lean back in my chair. “McKenzie Madden, what did you do?”
He staggers like I’ve physically wounded him, clutching at his chest. “The full name? Not even my mom uses my full name. Except for that one time I broke a window throwing a ball in the house, or that time I got caught streaking around the bases at our local field, or I guess that time—”
“Okay!” I giggle, waving him off. “We get it. Your mama was a saint. But don’t change the subject. Why are we the only ones in this classroom, and how did you manage to get my schedule changed?”
His grin gets wider when the classroom door opens again, admitting Jude. He closes it and flips the lock, making his way over to lean against the solid wood desk at the front of the room. “I didn’t do anything,” Mack says gleefully, practically bouncing in his seat.
Jude looks immensely pleased with himself and not the least bit remorseful for meddling in my schedule as he shrugs. “What’s the point of sucking up to the dean if I can’t use his favor to my advantage once in a while.”
I just shake my head, somehow both extremely flattered and completely unsurprised they would do something like this. Mack drops down into the seat I saved for him, a mischievous smile on his face. “What’s that look for?” I whisper.
He places a single finger up to his lips, winking at me.
“Alright you two, this is still a class, so I expect you to get your work done. This isn’t an excuse for you to coast by and think I’ll pass you because you’re cute,” Jude says pointedly, glancing between me and Mack.
Mack places a hand on his cheek, pasting a sickly sweet expression on his face. “Professor Carter,” he coos. “I knew you liked me.”
Jude just sighs, sitting at his desk and pulling out a stack of papers and a red pen.
The room is silent except for the turning pages for at least ten minutes, and I’ve just started to relax into the monotony of schoolwork when one of Mack’s giant hands lands on my thigh. I glance at him in question but he shakes his head, so I turn back to my paper.
His hand glides up a few more inches so it just brushes the edge of my skirt.
Did I choose this outfit specifically knowing I had a class with Jude today with the intent to torture him a little bit?
Maybe. But I couldn’t have guessed two of my alphas would have orchestrated a completely empty room to hold that class in.
Mack’s cotton candy scent gets infinitely sweeter as his hand glides further up, just barely grazing my panties.
They’re not the scent blocking kind, so my scent is drenching this corner of the room, and at this rate it won’t be long until the whole classroom smells like apples, honey, and a horny omega.
Mack bites down on his free hand to conceal a groan and I jump when his fingers circle my clit with the gentlest pressure.
He uses the hand on my panties to push my thighs further apart and my eyes dart to Jude, seeing he isn’t paying any attention to us at the moment.
My focus is torn between Jude and Mack, unsure which part of this is turning me on more.
After picking up those books at the signing I wanted to see what all the fuss was about so I read one and all I’ve been able to think about since is Jude fucking me on his desk and bringing to life this new student-teacher fantasy I have.
Mack couldn’t possibly know about that, so he probably just wants to mess with his pack lead.
When his fingers tease the edge of my panties, I give the barest nod, thrilled by the sharp inhale he takes in response. He leans in, kissing my cheek and then placing his lips against my ear. “That’s my good girl.”
I shudder, slick completely soaking my panties and sending a fresh wave of perfume through the space. Jude must finally smell it because his head snaps up just as Mack’s thick finger breaches my entrance. I whimper and wiggle in my seat, trying desperately to get him deeper without asking out loud.
He chuckles, eyes darting between me and the professor. “So wet for me already. Should we put on a show for Jude? Show him what he’s missing?”
I can’t speak, instead bitting down hard on my bottom lip and nodding as another thick finger slides in along with the first. My gasp is loud in the quiet room, but I barely hear it over the thundering of my heart and McKenzie’s rumbling purr.
My panties are still in place but pushed to the side so he has access, and I can’t help but wonder what, if anything, my surliest alpha can see.
The answer comes seconds later when Jude growls, slamming his hands on the desk.
“Take her panties off,” he barks at Mack.
My body jolts, reacting to the command even though it wasn’t directed at me.
An alpha’s bark will almost always work on an omega or beta, forcing them to bend to the alpha’s will.
But it rarely works on another alpha. The strength of their bark would have to be extreme for it to force another alpha to comply.
Mack clearly isn’t affected by the bark, but follows the directive anyway, ripping my panties off with his free hand.
Jude doesn’t come closer, but instead rounds his desk to lean back against the solid wood, his hands gripping the edge so hard his knuckles turn white.
Mack’s fingers haven’t stopped moving, pumping in and out of me and hitting a spot that makes me clench around him.
His pupils are blown wide with lust, scent thick in the air and the tent in his shorts could rival an actual tent.
He catches me looking and bites his lip, running the hand still clutching my panties down his thick length with a grunt.
“Think you can stay quiet if I tell you to ride Mack’s knot, doll?”
My eyes go wide, locking on Jude’s in shock. He wants me to fuck McKenzie here? Now?
Jude has a wicked smirk on his face, brown eyes slightly feral and daring me to finish this game we’ve started.
I look to Mack in question, leaving it up to him.
He started this, I just need to know how far he wants to take it.
Rather than answer with words, he pulls his fingers out of me and grips me by the hips, lifting me out of the chair to sit in his lap facing the front of the room.
“What do you say, gorgeous?” His breath ghosts across my neck as he whispers between kisses.
“Should we give the good professor something to fantasize about every time he sees you in one of these desks?”
“Yes,” I whimper, bringing my hands up to lock behind McKenzie’s neck. His hands fumble around behind my lower back and he lifts briefly.
“Lift your hips for me.”
I do, and he guides me backwards, lining his erection up with my core. I’ve already been with him before, but I’m still not prepared for the stretch and inhale sharply as I sink down onto his length. “Hold your skirt up,” Mack whispers huskily. “Let him see how well you take me.”
A whine escapes my throat, making Mack growl and Jude jolt forward.
I drag my skirt up and tuck it into my waistband so my professor can see everything, trying to ignore the lingering embarrassment over doing something so intimate in such a public setting.
But then Jude groans, stroking a hand down his erection, and all notions of decorum fly out the window.
Knowing we’re being watched spurs me into action. I lift up and quickly drop back down, gasping when Mack bottoms out inside me. “Oh my god, McKenzie,” I moan.
My fingers tangle in his hair and he groans, burying his face in my neck. “Fucking love it when you say my name, pretty girl.”
“Is that why you told me to call you McKenzie and not Mack?” I pant.
He nods, licking the side of my neck over my pulse.
I tilt my head to the side, giving him more room as my imagination runs wild wondering what it would feel like if he bit down.
“Mhmm,” he hums. “Hearing you use my full name in that sweet little accent of yours makes me want to bend you over the nearest surface and fuck you every single time.”
“So do it,” I challenge.
He growls, gripping my hips in his huge hands and taking over, slamming me down onto his cock in quick thrusts that have me crying out in seconds. “Play with your clit,” he rasps. His movements are getting erratic, breaths coming in quick pants that send more sweet cotton candy into the air.
My fingers drop to circle my clit, the pleasure sparking into an inferno that takes over my whole body.
It only takes a few seconds before I cry out, my body shuddering as an orgasm crashes into me like a tidal wave.
McKenzie tenses beneath me, cursing as he reaches his own peak.
He holds me down but doesn’t knot me, which I don’t understand until I glance up and see Jude practically shaking with the effort of holding himself back.
