Chapter 40
Forty
August
T his had been the most perfect day of my life, but I swore on my collection of original Tolkiens that if I didn’t get one of their knots soon, I was going to fucking lose it. My body throbbed, and I whined, even as Max hand-fed me my favorite dumplings from the dumpling house near my apartment.
He leaned closer. “Are you full, Omega? Or just anxious to be full of something else?”
I moaned, and the noise set off Polly, because she abandoned her own food and climbed onto my lap. Her skin felt normal to me, which was definitely a sign that she was feverish, because I was burning up.
“Does she feel hot to you?” I breathed, even as she nipped her way down my throat, her teeth pressing hard into the pulse point on my neck. “Fuck.” I gripped her hips, grinding up into her soft warmth. I needed to be inside her.
Max’s hand reached between us, and he grunted. “Yep. You’ve definitely knocked her into heat with you.” He grinned. “I don’t know if I should be excited or terrified.”
Both was the intelligent response.
But I couldn’t tell him that, because the Omega in my arms was kissing me. She tasted like heaven, and I found myself climbing to my feet and carrying her down the hall to my nest. I was on the same side of the house as Rio, and his scent was stronger in this hall. I didn’t like that all their scents weren’t there equally, but there was time to fix that. What I didn’t have time for was delayed satisfaction.
I wanted, and I wanted now .
I stepped into my nest with its perfect hidden door, and smiled. Llew might’ve been the Alpha who’d known me the shortest amount of time, but somehow, he understood me. The rest would come. I was as enamored by the big, damaged Alpha as I was with the sweet little Omega in my arms.
I laid her down in the middle of my nest, then sat back on my knees. She looked perfect here. I wanted her to stay, become part of my nest forever. I wanted to fall asleep and wake up beside her.
I felt Max’s hand roam down my spine. Beside them.
Rio and Llew had gone to prep for the heat, taking the pets to OJ’s sanctuary and grabbing food from the Omega supply place. It was just me, my Beta, and my Omega, and I was going to taste them both.
“In the nest, Max,” I rumbled, like I was a damn Alpha. He grinned and crawled into the nest, naked like this was some full-moon ritual. Maybe it was. It was an act as old as civilization itself. He leaned over my Omega and kissed her, and I caught my breath at how fucking hot they looked.
I wanted to be in the middle of them. “Can you satisfy two Omegas all by yourself, Maxie?” I purred, and his eyes sparkled with the challenge.
“I’m going to try,” he said cockily.
I knew what I wanted, but I wondered if he’d submit to it. “What if I told you what I wanted you to do?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. Rolling onto his back, he pillowed his head on his crossed arms, making all the beautiful skin stretch, and his muscles flex. So beautiful.
“Are you trying to top me, Omega?”
The long lines of his body were too much for Polly, who was running her tongue down between his pecs and the lines of his abs.
“Not today, Beta, but one day,” I groaned, my cock weeping at the sight they made. “Today, I’m a needy Omega, and I need you to fuck me already. ” The last words were a needy whine, quickly echoed by Polly.
Max half laughed, half moaned. “I look forward to it.”
Yeah, I knew he was perfect for me. It wasn’t lost on me that we hadn’t had sex outside a heat yet, but one day, we’d have sex where neither of us was driven by insane biological need, and instead just ordinary lust.
Rolling Polly onto her back in the pillows, Max gave me a filthy look. “You ever heard of a Lucky Pierre, Omega?” He gripped my hips and pulled me closer, kissing my skin as he peeled off my clothes.
“Can’t say I have,” I murmured, kissing him in between items of clothing being removed.
“Well, I guess you’re going to experience it firsthand.” I was finally stripped bare, and he sucked in a breath. “So fucking hot. You should come with a warning label,” he growled, pulling me in for another kiss. “Now, fuck your Omega, and when you’re locked tight in her pretty body, I’m going to fuck you. How do you feel about that?”
My only answer was a grunt as I dived on top of the naked body of Polly. Her cheeks were flushed; actually, maybe her whole body was flushed. She cradled me between her soft thighs, running her hands all over my exposed flesh. She smelled amazing, and I wanted to taste her, but not as badly as I wanted to be inside her.
“August,” she whined, and that was all the encouragement I needed. I slid into her tight little cunt like I was made to live there. There was nowhere else I wanted to be. Clutching her thighs, I pulled them wide so I could fuck her harder. Deeper. More.
The madness of the heat ebbed a small amount, so I could appreciate the love in her expression. The way she chased my touch as much as I chased hers. The way her tits bounced.
My heat ebbed, not broke. I couldn’t ignore bouncing tits, even if I wanted to.
When Max knelt behind me, his hands running up over my back and down to squeeze the cheeks of my ass, I realized why Pierre was so lucky.
I pressed my body to Polly’s and kissed her, buried so deep in her body that one strong sneeze might turn us into a single person. But when Max slid his way inside me, I realized I’d found the place I wanted to be for the rest of my life. Between these two people that I loved? This was my home.
Max’s long arms draped over me, pressing me flat into Polly, and he gripped her hips, fucking us both. Oh god. The sensations washing over me were beyond mindblowing. Fucking. Being fucked. It was something else.
No. I was loving and being loved. That was the difference.
“I swear on my life, this is the greatest moment ever,” he breathed above me. “I love you both so damn much.”
I wanted to answer, but he shifted positions and hit all the happy places inside me, causing me to come and lock all three of us together as I released burst after burst inside Polly. Her fib locked around me, holding my seed inside her, and for a brief moment, I imagined her round with my child, riding me like an Omega goddess.
Max’s teeth pressed against the hard muscles of my shoulder, but didn’t break the skin, and I whined. I wanted him to bond me. Wanted it more than anything . I wasn’t above begging. “Please, Max,” I panted, and he gripped Polly’s hips tightly, wedging us together as we rolled to the side. I didn’t want to crush the small Omega.
“Soon, August. Soon, you’ll be ours forever. But we should all be here when we consolidate our Pack. Then I promise to bite you over and over, until all you can feel is me.”
That wasn’t really how it worked, but I smiled softly as I drifted off into the preheat sleep.
I came to with my skin on fire and a cock in my mouth. Rio was feeding me his dick, and when I slipped off, he sighed with relief. “Holy shit, you’re back. Thank god. For such a gentle man, your Omega is a beast,” he teased, tucking his cock back in his boxer shorts.
I looked around and saw Llew with an extremely messy Polly draped across his chest, sound asleep. “How long was I out for?”
Rio pulled me up so he was spooned around me. “You were in full-blown heat by the time Llew and I returned. Max said it hit you like a freight train. One minute, you were asleep, the next, you and Polly were going at it like feral monkeys. He thinks your heats fed off each other, and you also went into some kind of rut. It was why you were so frenzied.”
I looked over at Max, who was passed out and almost gaunt. Rio stroked my back. “It’s all good, my Omega. Don’t stress. Everything is okay.” He paused. “It’s been two days.”
Two days! I’d been a sex-mad Omega monster for two days?
On the tail of that thought were images—memories, probably—of me stretched into positions with all of them. Pressed between Max and Rio. Being pounded by Llew. Slow, dirty fucking with Polly. But only flashes, like I’d swum up from the insanity.
“Oh,” I choked out. “I’m sorry.”
“Me too. Not that it happened, but that you don’t really remember it, because I’m putting the last two days in my spank bank forever. The full forty-eight-hour, unedited Director’s Cut.”
I laughed and snuggled into his chest, subtly searching him for bite marks, but there weren’t any.
Nothing got past Rio, though. “There are no bonding marks, but not from lack of trying on your Omega’s behalf. He’s as persistent as he is horny.” He laughed and brushed my lips with his, a reminder he was joking. “But we wanted you to be clear-headed when you bonded into our Pack. When we make you ours, and you make us yours. If that’s still what you want.”
I pushed up and kissed him, the heat still riding me, but I was beginning to feel the ache of my muscles. “I want to. I want to right now.”
I felt him shift, and Max’s body jiggled as Rio kicked him gently. “Max, wake up. It’s time.”
Max bolted upright. “No, I’m fine. I can definitely go again,” he said with slurred words that directly contradicted him. He needed electrolytes, and apparently, Rio agreed.
“Grab an electrolyte drink, Beta, then it's time to bite your Omega and tie him to us forever.”
Finally.
