Chapter 37
PHANTOM
It was late in the evening. It had been a long day, and I felt guilty about the dark bond command, but I couldn’t take it back.
The doors were finally locked, and Sin had managed to get together a plan—which was much easier now we had a literal key to the room we needed to get into.
The heist would be tomorrow night. Once we were done, we’d just have to make it one more day, and what we wanted to take was so small, it was unlikely the Redgraves would notice before our appeal.
Crescent was… well, she was still a lump of white blanket, growling when anyone but Sin came near. After a long time, he was the one who broke the tension. Right after another little spiral of panic in the bond, he sighed and shifted closer to Crescent.
She jumped, but didn’t growl, clearly clocking the scent of desert eclipse as non-hostile.
“They told me I couldn’t have any more.” I heard her whisper across the room as he drew her into his arms, the blanket falling away.
“I know,” Sin murmured, hand on her hair.
“Could you order Phantom to go stick his head in the toilet?”
Sin’s eyebrow shot up at the bratty request. “I could.”
“Sin.” I could hear the edge to my voice as I got to my feet.
“Would it make you feel better, Firefly?”
Karma, who was sketching, choked on a laugh, and Vandle had raised his head from his pillow to look between us, delighted curiosity dancing in his eyes.
“Come here.” Sin’s command locked onto me, and it was a strange feeling. I was reacting before I could stop myself, crossing toward them.
I stopped before the bed, eyes darting between Sin’s mischievous, crimson eyes and her golden irises, glittering with something a lot more hopeful.
“Wait there,” he said to me, then looked down at her. “I’ve thought of something better.”
A flutter of dread seeped up my spine at the smug look on Sin’s face.
“I can’t make him undo the command, but I can get you revenge.”
Crescent was nodding, looking relieved.
Sin leaned down and whispered into Crescent’s ear. Instantly, I felt a shot of delight down the bond from her, and she glanced at me with glee.
What the hell was going on?
But my mind was wiped blank as Sin reached down and tugged at the hem of her shirt.
Then he was pulling it over her head easily. I glanced at the door, but it was already locked for the night, so it was just our pack.
We didn’t have many undergarments for her and did our own laundry in the bathroom, so at night she went commando. But that meant her beautiful breasts were out the moment the shirt was off, and I couldn’t take my eyes from them.
But uh… what was he going to make me do?
I couldn’t even take a step.
Crescent moved, turning and shuffling back in her nest, then laying down. Next thing I knew, she was shimmying her oversized sweatpants off.
Jesus.
Was he going to put me through the cage torture again? Make me watch as he fucked her—only this time she was almost in reach.
Maybe he’d get the others involved.
I bit back a whine of frustration.
I’d only been trying to keep her safe. And the others were too cowardly.
“There we go, Firefly. You’re so beautiful.”
He shifted over her, his lips pressing to hers, then trailing down to her neck, and her breasts.
The bite he’d given her back in the cage was still there, though usually omega to omega bites faded quickly. It was still a little red, as if it was fresh.
He reached down to her hips, then ran his fingers down her pussy. Crescent arched slightly as he dipped his fingers into her, a little breath escaping her lips.
Her eyes darted to me, and I saw her reach to the side, grasping the keyring nest. She lifted it, then tucked it between her teeth possessively.
Sin chuckled. “Beautiful.” He dipped a second finger into her, pumping slightly. “So wet and ready.”
My cock was stiff and my veins alight with lust.
I wanted her.
He’d already had her.
I could feel the swirling lust from my pack brothers too, and I knew they were all watching the show.
Sin withdrew his fingers, nudging her knees slightly apart. Then he adjusted her feet where they were planted on the bed. “Look at you, ready to be fucked with your little nest safe and sound.”
A little purr rose in her chest, her eyes bright from the praise.
My dick ached with the amount of blood flow it was receiving.
But then, to my shock, Sin got up, ducking from beneath the top bunk.
He faced me square on. Midnight black hair swept over delighted crimson eyes. “You’re going to take care of her.”
I blinked.
I… was?
He mouthed the words ‘you’re welcome’, before patting me on the cheek and stepping aside.
It took me way too long to fight with my pants and to stumble onto the bed over her, trying not to make my delight clear in the bond, since I think she thought she was getting retribution.
“He’s going to give you the ride of your life for threatening your nest, Firefly.” Sin looked at me, voice dropping to a low growl. “Fuck her.”
The command seized me. I glanced from the glinting ring of assorted keys that seemed like a taunt, to the half feral, possessive, and very triumphant look in her eyes of liquid gold as I sank into her warm cunt.
She was pure heaven.
I gripped the railing with one hand, the other on her hip, as I began at a slow pace, wanting to make sure she was comfortable.
Her wet heat gripped me with each thrust, dragging me deeper each time until I couldn’t go any further. I couldn’t tear my attention away from her heaving breasts, the fluttering of her pale eyelashes, her eyes half-lidded as she stared up at me.
Head to toe perfection that I could finally—finally—claim for myself.
“Is he going hard enough, Firefly?”
She shook her head breathlessly.
“Pick up the pace.” My body reacted before I could process as I drove into her faster. I clenched my jaw.
Too soon.
She was way too hot, and I’d been abstinent for too long.
Luckily Sin came to my rescue.
“Don’t come yet, Alpha.” That last word almost seemed like a taunt, but the command worked.
“Fuck.” The curse slipped out as my body almost seized, desperately needing release I’d been denied. She was too far gone to notice the vulgarity, though.
My knuckles were white where I clutched the bed rail, the other hand still on her hips as I drove into her.
Low growls sounded involuntarily from my chest as pleasure rolled through me in waves. I was on top, but I did not feel like I was the one dominating her. I was being thoroughly dominated by my omegas.
I think it was the hottest thing I’d ever experienced.
Crescent’s breathing picked up, the keys slipping onto her chest and between her full breasts that bounced with every thrust.
Her lips parted, pretty sounds releasing in time with how I fucked her. Then her eyes crossed, her body tensing impossibly around me as she came.
I groaned, but I couldn’t even slow down as the sensation became blinding.
“Knot her.”
She gasped as I pressed in, stretching her tight pussy around my knot. Still, I couldn’t come, my nerve endings on fire.
“Sin!” I growled.
I needed this.
“You won’t finish until she comes a second time.”
I began rutting her slowly, letting her get used to the feeling of squeezing my knot. Sin reached over her, giving me some help, his fingers finding her clit and circling it rapidly.
“How does your first knot feel, Firefly?” Sin asked.
Her gaze snapped to mine. I was tense, teeth gritted, but completely entranced.
“I feel so full,” she whined.
“Is it good, baby?”
“Yes—uh!” she let out a little gasp as I drove in again.
God damn. Pride swelled in my chest as it hit me. I was claiming my mate. It was like a dream I’d never dared touch for far too long.
“Harder,” Sin commanded.
I grabbed her hips with both hands, rutting her like a feral beast.
With a cry, she came again, and finally my release almost blinded me as I unloaded into her. Each thrust taking me further into bliss as I thrust my knot into her until I was out of seed.
Then I collapsed over her, feeling Sin’s commands release me all at once.
