Chapter 64
Chapter Sixty-Four
Sage
Brooks shuts and locks the door while Vee scoops me into her arms and carries me up the steps toward my nest.
Our nest.
I wiggle in her hold until I can reach her neck with my tongue, then I lick and nibble and suck along the delicate column of her throat.
Brooks and Riley are behind us, mirroring our positions.
Riley’s legs and arms are wrapped around Brooks’ torso, and Brooks visibly shudders when Riley yanks his head down so they can reach his earlobe.
I grin against Vee’s skin, and she squeezes me tighter.
Then we’re pushing into the nest, and I tug at both my clothes and hers, whining when I don’t get either of them off.
“Patience, Sweetling,” Vee says, nudging my arms up so she can slip my shirt over my head.
Then my eyes are captivated as she reaches down to her hem with her arms crossed and slowly raises it, baring inch after inch of smooth, gorgeous skin.
I can’t wait.
I dive forward, my tongue meeting her toned stomach as I lick a stripe up it, only to be interrupted by her bra. I growl and rip it off, flinging it to the far corner of the room.
Vee chuckles, then collars one hand around my throat, just tight enough to catch me by surprise. I blink up at her, and she slowly pushes me down against the cushions, her eyes boring into mine.
In my periphery, Riley collapses on the low bench along the wall. I turn to see their pants around their thighs as Brooks kneels in front of them with their cock down his throat. Brooks palms his own cock through his pants and I groan, my perfume thick in the air at the sight of them.
“Eyes on me, Sage,” Vee says, and I comply, turning my gaze back to the stunning alpha hovering over me. Her fierce brown eyes take my breath away, and then she’s tugging my pants and soaked panties down while I’m trying to catch my breath.
“You’re so pretty,” I gasp, and she grins at me.
“Thank you,” she says. “Spread those legs for me, gorgeous.”
I do, and the feeling of her hot tongue swiping straight up my center has my back arching off the padded mattress.
“Oh my god,” I groan. “Vee.”
“That’s my good girl,” she says, her voice vibrating against my pussy. “Let me hear you.”
She slides two fingers into me, curling and rubbing against a spot that makes my hips buck against her. She has the audacity to chuckle while her lips are against me, and I try to make a note to be mad about it later. Right now, it all feels too good.
Her free arm curls around my leg, then skims over my ribs to my breast. I suck in another sharp breath when her skilled fingers twist and pinch my nipple.
“Too much,” I say, trying to get her to slow down. My brain can’t keep up with how good it all feels.
“You can take it,” Neveah replies. “Stop thinking, Sweetling. Let go.”
So I do. I bury one hand in her hair, holding on for dear life as I fling the other above my head, searching for something else to ground myself with. I don’t find anything to hold, but my eyes catch on Brooks and Riley again.
“Vee,” I groan.
“Watch them,” she says, her raspy voice caressing my nerves. “They look good together, don’t they? Your big alpha on his knees for our beta. Watch how Brooks takes Riley apart and nearly comes in his own pants while doing it.”
And that sets all three of us off. Riley thrusts into Brooks’ mouth with a whimper as Brooks swallows them down, sucking every last drop of their release.
I come hard watching it as Vee’s fingers and tongue obliterate all of my other senses. I clench down on her, my entire body pulsing as Brooks swallows, and Riley moans, and Vee licks me like I’m her favorite snack.
And in the midst of it all, Brooks glances at us, seeing me coming on Vee’s tongue with my eyes locked on him.
“Fuuuuuck,” he groans, pressing the heel of his palm to the bulge in his pants as he shudders.
His hips thrust against the pressure of his own hand, a wet spot blooms on his pants, and my eyes roll back in my head, bliss pounding through me in waves.
Vee gentles her touch, and Riley and Brooks both flop down next to us.
“That was so hot,” Riley says, panting.
“Sage isn’t done yet,” Vee says, leaning back down to me.
She can’t be serious. I am so done. Absolutely wrecked. Mind-blown, blissed-out, can’t-feel-my-extremities-anymore finished.
“Although, it looks like maybe she needs a moment.” Vee grins, rubbing soothing circles into my ribs, hipbones, inner thighs.
Brooks shucks off his pants and tosses them toward the door, then scoops Riley into his arms and shuffles closer to us.
I sigh, my muscles loose and relaxed, surrounded by my pack.
This incredible group of people who like me for me.
Not what I can do, or what I’m supposed to do, or my designation.
They’ve accepted every quirk and struggle, and through their support, I’ve learned more about myself than I even knew there was to know.
I’m the luckiest omega alive, to have these three in my pack.
Vee starts kissing my inner knee, then moves her lips up, and Riley straddles Brooks, kissing along his chest and scraping their nails over his nipples.
“Wait,” I say, struggling to sit up.
Neveah immediately sits back on her heels, giving me room, and Brooks puts a hand behind my back to help me straighten. Riley turns with a concerned frown on their face, sitting between Brooks’ legs as they both straighten to face me.
“We don’t have to keep going if you don’t want to,” Vee says. “You’re in charge, always.”
“No, it’s not that,” I say.
I’m suddenly terrified, but also so excited. My heart launches into a gallop and my scent spikes, a heady combination of lavender and vanilla swirling around us, and Brooks raises his eyebrows.
“What is it, Petal?”
“What has you smelling so delicious all of a sudden?” Riley tacks on, leaning in to swipe his tongue up my neck with a pretend “rrrrr” purr.
I laugh, and he leans back into Brooks’ arms. I look each of them in the eye, taking in my favorite people as my heart soars.
Warm hazel eyes with flecks of gold and brown, so easy to sink into and feel cherished.
Rich brown eyes, steadfast and unflinching, a stronghold I can always turn to.
Mischievous blue-green eyes, full of light and life and humor.
“I love you,” I whisper, and all three sets of eyes widen.
Riley immediately grins, but before any of them can so much as open their mouths to reply, I say it again.
“I love all of you so, so much. I don’t know where I’d be without you, but beyond that. You each mean so much to me. Brooks, you’re my security blanket, the most cuddly teddy bear that I know would do anything to protect me. As I know all three of you would.”
My eyes travel between them, at their expressions of wonder and joy and excitement as they take in my words.
“Riley,” I say with a wry chuckle. “Always giving me something to smile about, but you’re more than your humor. You’re incredibly thoughtful, and you have so many unique skills it makes me want to pick your brain every single day to see what else you know that you might be able to teach me.
“And Vee. Neveah. You are my heaven. That probably sounds cheesy, but…” I trail off, and she reaches forward to cup my cheek with her palm.
“It doesn’t,” she whispers.
“It’s true, either way,” I whisper back, looking deep into her eyes. “You’re my rock. I know you’ll be there no matter what, that I can count on you for literally anything. And you know…” I have to stop to swallow the lump of emotion in my throat.
“I’ve never had that before. I’ve never had people who truly care about me, who put me first, that… That I could count on. People who value me for who I am, and not what I can do for them. That means more than you’ll ever know,” I finish, my voice choked.
Riley reaches a hand out to grasp mine, his other one holding tight to Brooks.
“Sage,” he says, voice soft and serious. “That’s pack.”
I blink at him, the words sinking into me as we all sit with that for a moment. Absorbing it and appreciating it.
“And also,” he interrupts our collective quiet. “I love you, too. And also you—” he sits forward on his knees to peck Vee on the lips, then turns to Brooks. “And you, alpha daddy.”
“I love you all, too,” Vee says, a gentle smile on her face as she strokes her hands over my skin.
Brooks clears his throat. “I’ve never been that good with emotions or words. But I feel the same, about each of you. I love you, Sage.” He stops to make eye contact with me for a moment, then does the same with Riley. “And I love you, Riley. And I love you, too, Vee.”
We all lean in for the most clumsy half-sitting hug I’ve ever experienced, and Riley—of course—breaks the tender moment when he snort-laughs.
“That was a terrible hug,” he says, and we all chuckle in agreement.
“I want to bond,” I say, and three sets of eyes snap to me as the laughter dies a sudden death.
Vee sucks in a breath, her eyes all but glowing with disbelieving joy as she stares at me.
“Say that again,” Brooks growls, his voice low and dangerous like I’ve never heard it before.
“I want to bond. All of you. Tonight—Now.”
Brooks blinks once, then tackles me into the mattress.
Somehow, Riley comes with him with a squawk of surprise, and we’re a pile of flailing limbs as Riley and I struggle to coordinate our bodies in Brooks’ unyielding hold. Brooks kisses us both, alternating between our mouths and necks and chests as he smashes us together beneath his massive body.
“Vee!” Riley cries. “A little help, here? Alpha daddy has officially lost it!”
Brooks nuzzles his nose into my neck, inhaling my sweet lavender and making me giggle. Then he tucks me and Riley closer to him.
“Okay, alpha daddy,” Riley says, patting his side with a wheeze. “For real, we gotta breathe at some point.”
Brooks huffs at his dramatics, but rolls off of us.
“How do you want to do this?” Vee asks, her eyes intent on me.
“Oh,” I say, shrinking back a little as all eyes fix on me again. “I don’t know. I just want us all connected. Is there… I realize maybe I don’t know exactly how it’s supposed to work?”
“It can go however you like, for the most part,” Vee says. “The first bite has to be between the most dominant alpha and omega, but after that, it’s free reign. Any order, however you want it to go.”
I absorb that piece of information, and while I expect to feel anxious, no nerves alight in my chest. There’s only anticipation, need, a longing that I can finally fulfill. “So do you bite me first, or do I bite you first?”
“Either way. One of us initiates the bond with a bite, the other then bites that person back, returning and stabilizing it. Do you want me to initiate it, or would you like to sink those pointy little teeth into me first?”
My face flushes and my scent spikes, slick gathering between my legs.
“I think…” I hesitate, twisting my fingers together as I try to get the words out. I know I’m safe with these alphas, but it’s hard to get past a decade of mental abuse.
“Use your words, Petal,” Brooks says, reaching out to cup my hands in his.
“I think I want to,” I whisper, looking up at Vee through my lashes.
Neveah beams at me. “That’s our brave girl,” she says, voice reverent, and my insides melt.
Then she opens her arms, and I dive into them, my lips going straight for the spot on her neck I want to mark.
“Whenever you’re ready,” Vee murmurs, her hands stroking every inch of me she can reach. “Can I make you feel good, Sage?”
“Yes,” I say, lips moving against her neck as I cling to her.
She adjusts me in her lap so I’m sitting back on my heels while straddling one of her thighs, my knee pressing into her pussy. And then she moves both of us, grinding us together and sending sparks of pleasure zipping up and down my spine.
Her fingers press into my hips, and her other hand spears into my hair, the slight sting as she tugs ricocheting through my nerves. I gasp, grinding down harder as our lips meet and her tongue swipes against mine.
“Perfect,” Vee murmurs into my mouth. “My perfect omega, so good for me. Soaking my thigh, making both of us feel so good.”
My heart races at her words, my entire body lighting up beneath her touch.
And then the instinct rises in me. The urge to bite, to claim.
I tear my lips from hers and latch onto her neck, laving it with my tongue.
“Bite me, Sweetling,” Vee says, her voice husky with desire. “Mark me, make me yours.”
I bite down and copper floods my tongue, the vague sense of a shimmering thread stretching between us.
An offering.
Neveah rips me from her throat with the hand in my hair, then tilts my head at a harsh angle, baring my neck to her as I whimper with need.
My pussy tingles, heat rushing up and down my spine.
The thread pulses between us, but instead of claiming me back, she licks a slow stripe from my collarbone up to my ear.
“Alpha, please,” I murmur.
She grins against my skin, and then there’s a sharp burst of pain as she bites down just below the hinge of my jaw. Before I can gasp at the pain, it dissolves into pleasure, and I’m coming hard on her leg.
Slick drips down between us as I writhe in her hold, her teeth still planted firmly in my skin as she grinds and shudders against my knee. The thread between us thickens, becoming a shining, golden light that flashes as it takes over my vision.
And then Neveah is inside me.
Her strong, steady presence thrums against my heart.
It’s like nothing I’ve experienced before, and I’m in awed disbelief as she pulls back and gently licks at the bite mark on my neck.
Affection and reverence pulse down the bond from her and it’s all I can do to keep breathing as I cling to her, wrapping my arms around her neck and tucking my head under her chin.
This alpha is mine.
