15. Gareth
With a towel wrapped loosely around my waist, not feeling the need to bare it all when she wasn’t looking, I watched our girl enjoying the simple pleasures of a bubble bath.
At first, I thought she was going to fight me about taking a little time for herself.
Yet all it took was the sweet taste of freshly squeezed fruit juice, and she was convinced.
I grinned as I watched her playing with the bubbles, giving herself a beard, making a hat, and then pretending to be Gandolf.
“You shall not pass,” Bailey-Rose declared, pretending her cup was the staff.
Panic set in when she tried to sit back down.
and her foot slipped, but thankfully, she was far enough into the squat she didn’t hurt herself.
An explosion of bubbles and water rushed over the sides of the tub.
Waffles scrambled to get up from where he’d been napping and out of the water’s way, but the big boy wasn’t fast enough.
A second later, her head popped up, covered in a mess of bubbles, looking around to ensure no one saw her.
I knew I was safe from being seen since I was standing in a shadow, blocked by a sheer curtain waving in the wind.
It hadn’t taken me long to figure out if I was going to obsess about her safety, I couldn't let her know I was doing it. The few times I’d been caught in the act, she’d scolded me, but it was hard when she looked so cute all fired up.
Watching her dual-colored eyes sparkle with indignation and how she tried to stand as tall as she could, even though she always needed to look up at me, was adorable.
Don’t get me wrong, I took her anger seriously and heard what she was telling me.
However, that didn’t mean I would do as she said— it just meant I had to be better about hiding it.
“Did I just hear her quote Lord of the Rings?” Ulysses asked, coming to stand beside me, munching on some crackers.
“You sure did.” I chuckled. “So much for taking time to relax… she’s out there fighting off imaginary evil monsters.”
“This is her relaxing,” Ulysses commented. “All the times she was stuck in the hospital with only so much TV you could watch, that girl would let her imagination run wild. Once Eli got her into art classes, she’d create whole worlds on paper, bringing them to life.”
Hearing that explanation made a whole lot of sense as to why Bailey-Rose put so much detail into her art. She’d shown us all the pieces she’d done for the art installation at her school, and they were breathtaking.
“Seeing her like this tells me we made the right choice to get out of town. I know you didn’t want to walk away from the situation, but it was the right thing for her,” he reasoned. “All I can feel from her is contentment and joy, which I don’t think would be true if we were home.”
Turning away from Bailey-Rose, I looked at Ulysses. “It wasn’t that I didn’t want to leave, but more that I was worried he’d either follow or go back underground if we left. What good is it for us to be gone for the month only to come back to the same shit?”
“I hear you, man, really I do,” he assured me, resting a hand on my shoulder and giving it a quick squeeze.
“Eli just messaged Yun and told him he hired a bounty hunter and a private investigator to hunt this bastard down. He seems to think there is something odd about the fact the police haven’t been able to find anything yet.
Truth be told, I agree with Eli. This shouldn’t be hard since Randall isn’t that smart.
Although if he has help from someone with major pull, it’s possible the police will never find him. ”
Anger and fear churned in my stomach. The cops being dirty was the last thing I wanted to think about.
“Don’t move,” Bailey-Rose instructed, her voice drifting over to me in the breeze.
We both glanced over to find our Omega hanging half out of the tub putting bubbles on Waffles’ head.
The dog had refused to get closer to the tub to make it easier for her, but his training kept him from walking away entirely.
Nugget, who’d been sleeping on a lounge chair, was there as well, his tail wagging as he sported his own bubble hat.
He gave a soft yip as if to tell Waffles to get with the program, which he did, suffering in silence at his charge’s antics.
“Do we save them?” Ulysses whispered, popping another cracker into his mouth.
I glanced at the clock and noticed it had been almost an hour since I put her in the tub. “Yeah, probably good to get some more food in her too.”
“Want me or Warrick to get her?” he questioned. When I gave him a confused look, he explained. “We’re bonded to her now, plus it seems like since you and the other two got a little space from her, you’re not running on two brain cells.”
My brows shot up. “Wow… and who was the person who fucked her against the wall like an animal?”
“Yeah, which is why I know what I’m saying,” he muttered. “Never mind, you want to risk her not getting a chance to eat, then by all means, go for it.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Yun heading for the tub to collect our girl. “Well, it looks like the matter’s settled,” I pointed out dryly. “I’m gonna start cutting up some food for her to munch on.”
“Gareth, I’m sorry that came out wrong,” Ulysses offered.
I waved him off and nodded. “I know, we’re all good.”
Opening the refrigerator we hadn’t noticed since it was designed to look like a cabinet, I pulled out fruit, cheese, packages of pre-sliced meat, and grabbed the box of crackers from the counter.
Cooking other than grilling might not be my strong suit, but I rocked at fancy snacks.
Pulling together a tropical charcuterie board of sorts, I made sure to have things on there that would stick to your bones, as my mother always said.
Setting it on the coffee table in front of the couch, Yun-Sun walked in with Bailey-Rose wrapped in a fluffy towel. “I got snacks,” I announced.
“Oh my gosh, did you pull this together?” She gasped as Yun set her down.
Kissing her forehead, I took a deep inhale of her rose and cherry scent that had my dick rock hard in two seconds. Fuck, maybe Ulysses had been right about the space.
“Sure did, baby girl,” I murmured. “Eat all you want… there is plenty for all of us.”
Vili offered her another glass, and I knew it was one of the special hydration drinks from the wrinkle of her nose.
Yet she didn’t complain as she ate, knowing it was a battle she’d always be facing to keep hydrated on a good day.
Add in large amounts of sex, sun, and heat, and that just created an uphill climb.
Sitting behind Bailey-Rose, Vili, dressed in silk boxers, started to brush out the tangled mess that was her hair and braided it out of the way. “There you go, kitten. Much better.”
Leaning back so her head rested between his legs, she smiled up at him. “Thank you for always looking after me and my hair.”
After her surgery, it had been hell for Bailey-Rose to lift her arms above her head, so Vili took on the task of hair maintenance.
It shocked us all he could manage a ponytail let alone braid.
He simply shrugged and said a person who had passed away made sure he knew how to properly take care of an Omega.
Even though Bailey-Rose could do her hair now, it had become sort of an intimate moment between them.
She loved to have her hair played with, and he wanted nothing more than to spoil his kitten.
The comfortable atmosphere amongst us as we snacked and relaxed shifted when Bailey-Rose started to nuzzle Vili’s cock.
He hissed, gripping the back of the sofa tightly as she rubbed her cheek up and down the silk covering his cock.
A wet spot appeared as he groaned, looking skyward as if that would be any help in his current situation.
Bailey-Rose shocked us all when she pulled down the band of Vili’s boxers, freeing his cock, only to swallow it down as far as she could take it.
There was a soft gagging sound, but she pulled back, gripping the base to prevent it from happening again.
Any hope I had of being the bigger man and holding myself back for a third time flew out the window as her towel crumpled to the floor.
Dropping to my knees, I parted her legs to see a glistening pussy begging to be fucked.
Her scent was intoxicating to the point I felt like I might be drunk off it.
Sliding my hands under her ass so I could tilt her hips to the best angle, I dove in. Fuck, she tasted like heaven.
My chest rumbled with a purr, making Bailey-Rose squirm in my hands.
God, the ego boost you got from knowing you were driving your woman wild was exhilarating.
I sucked sharply on her clit, which produced a gargled scream, mouth full of cock.
Using her slick, I started to massage my thumb around her asshole, teasing the entrance with the tip, never truly entering her.
We all knew that our girl would be double stuffed sooner or later, and we wanted her to feel comfortable with the idea.
Yeah, we’d tried it once before, but that had been a moment full of emotions and remnants of her almost heat lingering.
I wanted her to love having us buried inside her, no matter what hole it was.
With Omegas, it was more of a mental game because their bodies were created to meet the needs of their pack, not only in being the best match for Alphas to breed but also being able to take a knot or two if the need arises.
In some packs, all the Alphas went into rut at the same time, meaning their Omega had to manage two or more hungry dicks at the same time.
Yet if the Omega didn’t trust their Alphas, the enjoyment of the act was lost even if their body had no problem handling the task.
