Epilogue One
Zinn
ONE MONTH LATER
The third day of Zinn’s heat began on a Tuesday morning.
Wes, Calder, and Valentin had been surprised when he told them he was feeling symptoms on their way home from Warburton, but Assa, knowledgeable in these matters thanks to his work in the lab, reminded them that Zinn’s first four heats had been in the summertime.
He’d only had a February heat when he got pregnant with Lachie because he’d been using suppressants.
By the time they’d stepped off the train and settled the children with Asher and Xan at the bakery house, Zinn was sweating, his heat imminent.
Now that the third day had dawned, Zinn woke sleepy and satisfied, even as his body reminded him that there were more waves coming. He stretched his arms above his head, enjoying the slight burn in his shoulders, and smiled.
“Well?” he asked Wes, who happened to be the one lying next to him.
Wes winked. “Congratulations.”
“Really?”
“Mm-hmm,” Calder drawled, cuddling Zinn from behind. “It’s a good thing the boys are with Asher and Xan, because that was the loudest breeding orgasm I’ve ever heard.”
“I’m pretty sure it was the loudest breeding orgasm anyone has ever heard anywhere,” Assa said from Calder’s other side.
“Most beautiful sound in the world,” Valentin said, kissing Wes’s shoulder from behind.
Zinn stared at the ceiling. They’d crossed their fingers for a breeding heat, but it hadn’t been a guarantee, considering the last heat had produced Lachie and Zinn was nearly thirty.
“Who?” Zinn asked excitedly. Which of his alphas had bred him? While it was possible to get pregnant at any time during heat once his womb had been opened, the far greatest likelihood was that the initial breeding orgasm would be the one to take.
“Ryde’s going to have a lookalike baby brother,” Wes said.
“Valentin?” Zinn glanced at him for confirmation.
Nodding, Valentin rubbed his bare cock against Wes. “Calder and I both knotted you, both felt that your womb was soft that morning, but I drew the lucky wave.”
“Another gorgeous boy for all of us.” Calder reached across their bodies to cup Valentin’s cheek. “Watching you make our son with Zinn was something I’ll never forget.”
“Stars!” Assa breathed out. “It was so fucking hot. Like, so. Fucking. Hot.”
Zinn chuckled. Assa and Wes had never been part of heat sex before.
They’d both fucked him plenty on the first day, including once at the same time after his hole had truly loosened and gotten slicked up.
That was something they’d never attempted before, and Zinn wondered if it could be done outside of heat.
Valentin and Calder were too big, but maybe it could be a special thing between him and his betas.
“Now, we get to enjoy the third day together,” Calder said, waggling his eyebrows.
Wes rolled the other way and slung a leg over Valentin. “Ahem. Some of us aren’t biologically driven to fuck nonstop for three days. I’ll do my best, but the four-hour nap we just had isn’t cutting it.”
“Speak for yourself,” Assa teased. “When we all fell in love, the thought of fucking an omega in heat, and watching alphas go all feral and knotty for it, wasn’t on my mind, but now that I’ve experienced it… I’ll nap next week.”
Zinn laughed, then felt a fission of heat travel through him. “Good thing you feel that way. Because I need your cock in my ass.”
He rolled over onto his hands and knees and presented. Assa wasted no time in covering him fully, lining up his tip with Zinn’s slick-drenched hole.
“Fuck him hard, baby,” Calder encouraged, using his alpha voice. “He needs it.”
As Assa began moving, Zinn looked over his shoulder to see Valentin with his tongue in Assa’s ass, digging it in deep as he thrusted.
“Fuck!” Assa cried out.
“Day three,” Zinn said, exhaling with satisfaction.
Next to them on their enormous, custom-made bed, Calder and Wes leisurely stroked each other’s cocks. “We’re saving our cum for you,” Calder said.
Still, Calder moved his hand back toward Wes’s hole.
Wes had gotten a lot more into ass play with two strong alphas constantly naked around him.
His interest had surprised Assa and Valentin, but none of them questioned it.
Their sex life was always a work in process.
Like a few months ago, when Calder broke his ankle tripping over an errant rolling pin at Felton’s, they’d had to get creative. All five men had learned to ride him.
One night, they’d ridden him hard, one after the other, edging him mercilessly until finally letting him come in Valentin’s ass.
Zinn would probably never adjust to the thrill of watching the alphas fuck, bringing out each other’s most primal instincts. Alpha couples were such a rarity in society, there wasn’t even much porn.
Watching the betas fuck was also special. Wes and Assa had been through a lot together, and Zinn imagined how it must have been when they fell in love—the shy, self-doubting Assa finally getting what he’d always craved from Wes, who was discovering himself and coming to terms with his own desires.
Zinn shivered when Assa reached down to touch his erection. “I’m close, precious,” he whispered into his neck.
“Mmm. Come in me now,” Zinn moaned.
Assa looped an arm around Zinn’s belly and fucked him aggressively before releasing with a shout, Valentin rimming him the whole time.
“Stars!” Assa said, collapsing onto the mattress.
Zinn was glad he hadn’t come yet, because he was still aching to be filled when Wes pulled him onto his side and pushed his leg up, entering him from behind.
Calder slicked two fingers and stuck them in Wes’s hole as he pounded into Zinn.
“I’m not gonna last long if you do that,” Wes said huskily.
“You don’t need to last,” Zinn whimpered. “I can feel your dick in Assa’s cum. Put your own cum there.”
“Fuck, omega, that’s so deliciously dirty,” Valentin said, facing Zinn as Wes continued moving in him.
Behind Wes, Calder added a third finger, curling them to rub on his special spot.
Wes and Valentin both reached for Zinn’s cock, but Zinn swatted their hands away. “No. I’m close and I want to take you all before I come.”
“Nrgh,” Wes orgasmed with a low cry, rocking his hips between Zinn’s ass and Calder’s hand. “I couldn’t hold on any longer,” he said abashedly as Calder removed his fingers from his sensitive hole.
“You just gave me exactly what I needed,” Zinn assured him. He looked at Calder. “Your turn, cap. How ’bout you lay on your back and let me ride you. I know that ankle’s still sore.”
“Hop on, sunshine.”
Zinn carefully moved onto Calder’s lap, feeling Assa’s and Wes’s cum dripping out of him until he stuffed himself full of his alpha’s enormous cock. Calder closed his eyes in ecstasy, his fingers digging into Zinn’s hips.
Zinn grinned, riding him at a steady pace, but not enough to trigger his release. Not yet.
He glanced at Assa and Wes as they swirled their tongues around Valentin’s nipples. Valentin’s cock was rock hard, the tip red and leaking, but his gaze was glued to Zinn and Calder.
“Assa, can Wes get you ready for Calder?” Zinn asked.
“Absolutely,” Assa grinned.
Assa got on his hands and knees and stuck his ass out. Wes and Valentin stretched him with their fingers, preparing him to take Calder’s knot.
Zinn stroked his dick a few times, then leaned forward to give Calder a long kiss, tangling their tongues and inhaling the rush of pine and clove that scented the air. “You’re going to have to transfer quickly after you come,” he said. “We should switch positions.”
A minute later, Zinn was bent over next to Assa as Calder fucked him into the mattress. Zinn’s weeping cock ached for attention, and he had to hold his fists above his head to keep from tugging on it.
“I love you, my omega,” Calder said before coming with a rough growl. He bit down and licked Zinn’s scent gland as he drove his hips forward, causing Zinn to inch toward the headboard.
Next to them, Valentin rumbled low in his throat, his smoky sage aroma thickening. Calder grabbed the other alpha by the back of the head and mashed their faces together. The two men growled and bit at each other as Calder shot into Zinn.
After four huge pulses, Calder hastily disengaged from Zinn’s ass and plunged into Assa, his knot popping almost immediately.
“Fuck!” Assa shouted, pounding his fist into the pillow.
“All good?” Wes asked, cupping his cheek.
“Yes.” Assa peered over his shoulder at Calder. “I forget how massive your knot is. It’s amazing, but it takes a minute to adjust.”
“Let me help,” Calder said, affection taking over his features.
Tenderly, he rolled them onto their sides, still locked together. He pulled Assa to him as Assa wiggled on his knot, panting with pleasure.
Wes reversed the direction of his body until he and Assa were sucking on each other’s cocks.
“Ready?” Valentin said to Zinn.
“Get the fuck in me!”
Valentin playfully smacked his ass as Zinn rolled onto his back and lifted his knees to his chest. Valentin entered him in one swift motion. When Zinn attempted to touch his poor, neglected cock, Valentin captured his wrist in a firm grip. “Uh-uh-uh. That’s mine.”
Their lovemaking was languid, steadied by the presence of the other men and the fact that Assa, Wes, and Calder had already come inside Zinn.
We made another baby, Zinn mouthed, staring up at the man he’d loved since he was eighteen.
Yes, we did.
The room was quiet for long minutes, the stillness marred only by the heady sounds of sex, and the whispered words of love and devotion.
Calder ran his knuckles up and down the length of Assa’s arm as he knotted him.
The betas sucked each other’s cocks, coming at almost the same moment.
After swallowing Assa’s cum, Wes scooted back up to exchange sweet kisses with him and Calder.
Valentin sped up his fist on Zinn’s cock.
After waiting so long to come, Zinn wailed as he unloaded all over their stomachs and chests.
Valentin stilled above him, shaking with the force of his pleasure as his cock swelled and he released jets of cum deep within Zinn, into the womb he’d penetrated the day before.
Leaning forward, Valentin licked at Zinn’s neck, scenting him. “I love you,” he rasped as his knot popped. His head turned to the other three men. “I love you.”
After wiping his partners with a warm cloth, Wes lay down in the center of the bed, Assa and Calder on one side and Zinn and Valentin on the other as they drifted to sleep. Zinn’s heat still had hours to go, but they would always remember this morning.
Always remember the lovemaking they’d done to celebrate that the five of them would soon welcome another child.
