Chapter 4
Violet
Anest! A nest! My new alpha has a nest!
When Serena put me on the ground beside the pile of blankets and pillows, I nearly burst into tears of joy.
It was huge, way bigger than the leather couch in Logan’s den, and it was tucked into the corner in a sun-drenched room.
And it wasn’t just a pile of dirty laundry and pillows hastily thrown on the ground. It was embedded into the floor, a pit of cushions and minky fabric, and it smelled, oh Gods, it smelled.
Honey and hazelnut and coffee and cinnamon and chai.
It took every ounce of self-control I had to not roll around in the nest in a feeble attempt to soak up every scent it had to offer.
But then he had to speak.
“No clothing in the nest, it’s Skye’s only rule, and he’s so graciously sharing it with you.” Vinny explained.
I turned back to glare at him, but Vinny was in the process of taking his shirt off, and, well, I was easy to impress, I guess.
Vinny tossed the garment over his shoulder with ease, revealing a chest that would have made most Gods envious. Muscles shifted under his tanned skin, moving the plethora of black tattoos etched into his torso. The perfect amount of hair poked out from Vinny’s jeans and crawled up his stomach.
I blinked once. And then twice.
And, well, Skye was nice, and it was his rule, but… Vinny wasn’t allowed to boss me around. So, while I would get naked, I’d do it on my own terms.
I looked him dead in the eye before stomping up to him.
“What?” He asked, stepping out of his jeans.
I pointed to the hem of my shirt.
“Uh, yeah, that needs to come off?” He snorted and removed his boxers.
I was a lady, so I didn’t look, even if I really wanted to.
Instead, I stomped my foot and pointed again, more aggressively this time.
Vinny paused, his brows rising as he stared at me. “I’m not letting an omega boss me around, especially a silent one.”
My eyes flicked to Serena, who was already naked and sat on the edge of the nest.
Her gaze met mine, and she smiled.
“Come here, Little Omega, if he won’t help, I will.” she crooned.
I stomped my foot again, harder this time.
I didn’t want Serena’s help, she was safe. She wouldn’t hurt me.
But Vinny might.
And that’s exactly why he had to do it.
For the last two years, I’d let Logan boss me around and leave me miserable, and I’d be damned if I let another male alpha feel like he could control me.
“I’m not doing this,” he said firmly. “If you want to feel better, you’ll do as I say, capisce?”
I put my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes.
“Come on Vinny, just do it,” Serena hissed from behind me.
Yeah, Vinny, just do it.
He looked between us, jaw tightening. Then, he exhaled through his nose.
“Fine,” he grumbled.
My shoulders wiggled in satisfaction and I lifted my arms to make it easier for him.
Logan was always rough with me, but I’d seen in movies that a proper alpha would be gentle with their valued omega, and while I didn’t like Vinny, I assumed he had some gentlemanly cells in his body.
I was wrong.
Vinny bent his knees and slipped his hands up my shirt before settling them on my waist, he was so large that the tip of his fingers touched.
A broken hum parted my lips as my knees turned to jelly.
My eyes fluttered shut and I expected a cool rush of air to greet my skin, instead, my feet were lifted from the floor.
Then, he tipped me upside down and shook me until Serena’s shirt fell to the ground.
“Be gentle with the omega!” Serena growled.
Vinny flipped me back up right, and the world spun as blood rushed out of my head.
He laughed and said something about me not specifying how I wanted to be undressed, but it barely registered over the thrum of my pulse in my ears.
I blinked several times, trying to gather the pieces of myself before opening my eyes completely. Part of me expected to see Vinny still laughing at my expense, but that wasn’t what I got at all.
Vinny’s carob colored eyes were open and trained on me with an intensity that almost made me melt. His scent was stronger too, leaving me almost entirely intoxicated on the aroma of coffee and cinnamon.
His chest heaved and I swung my legs, not to kick him, but to remind him he had me suspended in the air. The movement jolted him, but he stayed frozen in place as he breathed me in.
All of the joking light vanished from his face as a low growl rumbled in his chest, not like the purr Serena made at dinner, but something darker, more possessive.
“You smell good, omega.”
The gravel in his voice forced a shiver out of me, and while I wanted to be in charge, I knew better than to push an alpha.
“Are you done playing around?” he rasped.
My brain short circuited to the point I forgot how to swallow, leaving saliva to pool in my mouth as I nodded.
“Good, now, let’s help quell your heat.”
The air thickened to a honey like consistently, at least, that’s what it felt like. The oxygen filling my lungs felt heavy and warm, and each breath was harder than the last. Vinny pulled me to his chest, leaving me to nuzzle against the scent glands on his neck.
I wanted to be covered in him, and I wanted to be covered in her. I wanted to smell like a hazelnut latte and to stay next to them forever. We swayed as he walked us to the pit before lowering me onto the soft beige fabric of the nest. My head fell into Serena’s lap as I fully settled.
Her fingers threaded into my hair as Vinny crawled behind me.
“How are we doing this?” he asked, and I whimpered.
Oh my god, how were we doing this? Two alphas and only one me.
“Our little doll soaked my lap during dinner, I think it’s only fair she sits on yours now,” Serena murmured.
Vinny’s rock hard cock pressed into my side and I gasped at the idea of taking him in one go. I wanted him, and I needed his knot so bad it hurt, was he going to just shove himself in?
“You gonna help her?” he asked.
“Always.”
They shared a glance before sitting knee to knee, their fingers grazed each other as they hoisted me onto Vinny’s lap as if I weighed nothing at all.
“If this hurts, you tell us, okay?” Vinny asked from behind me.
Fire ran down my spine, and I nodded. He may have been an asshole, but he was a sweet asshole. At least, he might have been.
Serena pressed her lips to mine, and I froze.
I’d never kissed a girl, but I’d always fantasized about it late at night, when the house was quiet and Logan was asleep and I could pretend I wasn’t trapped where I was.
I’d imagined someone soft and warm. I’d even been bold enough to google it once, however that resulted in a black eye and my phone being taken, and now I was living it.
I choked on my breath as Vinny’s cock speared into me. The stretch was sudden, and painful, but not unwelcome.
“You good?” Vinny muttered. “Too much, you need me to stop?”
My nails dug into the meat of Serena’s muscular arms as I shook my head. I needed more, I wanted to see how far I could push myself when given the choice.
I mouthed more, unable to force the word off of my traitorous tongue.
Serena’s eyes gleamed as one corner of her lips lifted.
Serena withdrew her hands from my side and pressed her fingers to her clit.
I wanted to protest but before I could, Vinny bucked his hips.
More of him slid into me this time, but he wasn’t fully sheathed.
Serena’s forehead pressed to mine, breath warm on my lips, and the smell of hazelnut wrapped around me like a spell. Behind me, Vinny shifted and my whole body arched helplessly into both of them.
A moan caught in my throat, escaping as little more than a breathy whimper, but Serena’s eyes darkened like it was the most beautiful thing she’d ever heard.
“That’s it,” she purred. “That’s what I wanted to hear from you.”
Her fingers slid down my neck, guiding me through the dizzy rush of sensations as Vinny’s hands clamped around my hips and he rutted into me. His knot pressed against my entrance, tantalizingly close yet so far away.
Heat coiled low in my belly, and I tipped my head back to breathe.
“Where are you going, Little Omega?” She purred.
Vinny pistoned into me again, grunting as he did, and I swore to the Gods I was going to combust. My eyes sealed shut as I frantically tapped the space between my neck and shoulder.
Please. Please. Please.
“You want me to mark you?” she asked softly.
I nodded.
I did.
I really did.
I wanted a mark just like Skye’s. From Serena, not Vinny.
I wanted her to be the first alpha I gave permission to mark me.
Please.
Please.
Please.
A low growl vibrated in Vinny’s chest as he pushed into me one last time, this time, I got every last beautifully painful inch.
My toes curled and stars dotted my vision as his cock pulsed inside me, filling my cunt as his knot expanded to push against my walls. I tried to bury my face in Serena’s neck but she caught my chin, lifted it, held me exactly where she wanted me before sinking her teeth into my neck.
White heat exploded behind my eyes and for the first time in years, I screamed. It was broken and raspy, but it was mine. And, when Serena pulled away, strings of saliva still connecting us, a strange euphoria washed over me.
Finally, after years of struggles, I’d found a place I belonged.
And now all I had to do was prove I was worthy of the place she’d given me.
