Chapter 20
CHAPTER TWENTY
Rio
The two-hour flight back to Los Angeles felt ten times as long as it was. I’d really been trying to not think about my past since Kayla had arrived, but now that she was in heat, old wounds were coming to the surface.
None of my packmates knew about my past before them, and they never asked. It had never felt like the right time to talk about it, but now with my stomach knotting and my throat threatening to cut off my air supply, I needed the reassurance it wasn’t about to happen again.
I’d barely survived the pain at nineteen. I didn’t think I could survive it again.
After the plane had landed, N’Pact let us use their limo while they called for another ride. Our pack had been stuck in our own heads the whole flight, so we hadn’t talked to them much besides to express our gratitude multiple times.
We were about ten minutes from the house when I finally grew the balls to talk to them about the anxiety and fear I knew they could feel through our bond. They probably thought I was concerned about Kayla, and while I was, I knew she was going to be fine.
I rolled up the privacy window between the back and front of the limo and three sets of eyes turned to stare at me in question. “I need to tell you guys something that I’ve been keeping from you.”
Beck crossed his arms over his chest and nodded his head. I could feel a tendril of disappointment from him, even though he had no clue what I was about to tell them.
“Go on, man. What is it?” Kane leaned forward, his arms across his legs.
I stared out the window, trying to figure out where to start. “You all know I come from a very traditional, wealthy family. Part of that tradition is to build packs before their children even emerge.”
“Shit.” Rylan was next to me and put his hand on my shoulder in support.
“I was part of a pack before I met you guys. None of us liked each other, but we did the bond and tried to make things work because that was what our families expected of us.” The memories of the first few months of our bond were painful to recall.
There was so much fighting for the leader position, which was one of the reasons I forced myself not to give in to my instincts to fight Beck.
“Then the omega promised to our pack came of age after her two years at a boarding school. She’d already been forced to go off her suppressants, so by the time she moved in with us she was already starting her heat.
” A tear slipped out and I let it fall onto my shirt.
“We got her through it, but then when it was time to bond with her…”
“You don’t have to finish if it’s too painful,” Beck said softly, surprising the shit out of me.
“No, I need to, because as much as I’ve tried to pretend it’s no longer stuck with me, it is.” I wiped another tear from my face. “She decided she didn’t want us. It fucking hurt, but then the next day she was gone and so was one of my packmates. They ran off together.”
“Fuck.” Kane leaned back in his seat. “That’s rough.”
“It took me a good year to heal enough from it to want to move on. I enrolled in school and then met you guys and it just felt right. I thought I’d have more time to reassure myself that history wasn’t going to repeat itself, but here we are.
” I looked at each of them and hated the pity I saw on their faces.
“That’s not going to happen. We’re all in this together.” Beck reached over and grabbed my hand. “We’re brothers.”
“But what if she decides she only wants one of us? There’s nothing saying she can’t do that.” We were all seeing Kayla through rose-tinted glasses because she had quickly become everything to us, but what if the same wasn’t true for her?
Kane grabbed Beck’s hand and then Rylan’s. We were all connected, and I felt our bond strengthen. “She is going to want all of us. She told me she wants to bond with us… she was just waiting until after our championship.”
“And you didn’t tell us?” Beck’s frown deepened.
“She didn’t want me to. She let it slip the other day.” Kane shrugged, not giving a shit. “She’s ours and we’re hers. There’s no question about that.”
His reassurance meant the world to me, and my shoulders relaxed for what felt like the first time in days. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys.”
“You had your reasons, but know that you don’t need to go through things alone. I know we aren’t the mushy feelings type of pack, but we’re here for you.” Rylan moved his hand from my shoulder and took my other hand. “I have a confession since we’re having a moment here as a pack.”
My eyes narrowed slightly. “You are the most open of all of us. What could you possibly be hiding?”
Rylan gave me a withering glare, but through our bond, I could only feel happiness seeping through the layer of worry that had settled there over Kayla.
The limo turned down our street and we all waited for Rylan to share. Right as the car pulled to a stop in front of our gates, he decided to speak with a heavy sigh.
“I wore a butt plug during our game, and it gave me an extra pep in my step. You should all consider getting your own sets so Kayla can-”
“Absolutely fucking not.” Beck let go of everyone’s hands and he suppressed a smile. “Let’s go take care of our omega.”
I was harder than a rock when we made it up the front steps to the front door with our bags. The others had no clue what was about to be unleashed as soon as we opened the door, but I did.
As soon as Kane unlocked the door and it opened a crack, I could smell her perfume. It was like a punch to the gut with its slightly bitter note, signaling duress.
“Fuck me, that’s potent.” Kane opened the door all the way and practically stumbled inside, his cock no doubt immediately harder than stone. “Kayla?”
I dropped my bags by the door and went straight for the nest, one thing on my mind and one thing only. Beck had the same thought and was two steps behind me as I started kicking off my shoes and ripped my shirt over my head.
She’d been waiting for hours for us and I couldn’t even imagine the pain she was in from needing a knot to fill her. A possessive growl came from me as I pushed open the door and found it empty.
“The bathroom.” Beck shoved past me, his shoes and shirt discarded and his jeans undone.
The only light coming from the bathroom was the soft glow of a nightlight. Fear pooled in my gut as I stepped in behind Beck to find her asleep, curled in the bottom of the tub.
“Little omega, we’re here.” Beck stepped over the ledge of the tub and scooped her up. “She’s fucking freezing.”
She whimpered and tried to get closer to Beck as he stepped out and carried her into the room. “It… hurts.”
I reached out and stroked her damp hair before Beck knelt on the mattress and set her down gently. “We’re going to take care of you.”
Her eyes were cracked open, and she looked at both of us before her eyes slid to the door and then closed again. “So cold… and hot.” She shivered violently and her breaths came in soft little pants.
Fuck.
“Get undressed. She’s going to need all of us tonight.” I practically ripped off my slacks and boxers and yanked off my socks. “She needs the strongest alpha first.”
I let that hang in the air for a minute before dropping into the bed. “Beck, get behind her. She needs all the skin-to-skin contact we can give her.”
He didn’t even attempt to argue, which was a rare treat. His pants were off in an instant, and I helped her sit up so he could move behind her. She relaxed back into him, sighing and spreading her legs wide.
She had a damn dildo in there, the end of it taunting me that it wasn’t my cock. I grabbed it and started to ease it out of her, and she gasped. “Knot.”
Batting my hands out of the way, she pressed something on the end of it and then slowly pulled it out of her.
I damn near nutted at the sight of her slick on it and at her swollen cunt waiting for my cock. “Kane and Ry, help her keep her legs bent and open.”
I grabbed the dildo from her and brought it to my mouth. She sucked in a sharp breath as she watched me with heavily hooded eyes while my tongue licked the length of the fake cock.
The need to take her was so strong, I couldn’t wait anymore. Beck was behind her, purring and stroking her breasts, and Rylan and Kane were getting situated on the mattress to hold her open for me.
I tossed the dildo to the side, a needy growl rumbling in my chest as I licked my lips.
“Alpha…” She panted, her hands trembling from where they rested just above her pussy. “Please.”
I moved into position, and in one smooth roll of my hips, I was buried inside her. She cried out, her hands moving to the top of Beck’s as he kneaded her breasts and played with her nipples.
“We’re so sorry we weren’t here.” Beck purred in her ear. “But we’re here now and we’re going to take the best care of you.”
My balls tingled as I began pumping in and out of her, trying to hold myself back from being too rough. Now was not the time for me to get carried away when she was so fragile.
“Did you at least win?” she mumbled, arching a bit as I hit just the right spot inside her. “Harder. I need it harder.”
“We won.” Kane took the leg he had ahold of and straightened it in the air, kissing down the length of it while Rylan did the same.
I grabbed Kayla’s hips and gave her what she wanted. With hard, fast snaps of my hips, I had her whimpering and crying out for us to make her come in no time at all.
Her pussy clenched around me as her orgasm took hold of her, her increased slick helping me work my inflating knot into her. I came with a roar, my eyes rolling and muscles straining as I rutted into her, trying to get in as far as possible.
We were locked together, my dick throbbing with every pulse of cum that shot into her. Her body was flushed, warmed from the touching and purrs we lavished her with.
“I’m going to put her on top of me. It’ll be more comfortable.” I didn’t know if that was one hundred percent true, but I was ready to cuddle with her without the others being practically right on top of me.
Kane and Rylan let go, crawling away. And that was when I saw it. The butt plug.
“Rylan.” I barked a laugh as I wrapped Kayla’s legs around me and leaned down to let her loop her arms around my neck.
She wrapped herself around me with weak limbs, and I lay down with her on top of me, her body going limp as soon as I was situated on the pillows.
“What?” He stood and stretched, his hard cock bouncing and the barbells running down the length glinting in the light from the hallway.
“Some things I don’t need to see.” Beck reached over and grabbed a washcloth from the stack on the nightstand. We’d at least been smart about preparing some things for this.
“What?” Kayla tried to lift her head, but I stroked her hair, urging her to stay still.
“Rylan is wearing a butt plug.” I started purring and she melted into me. “He thinks it made him play better today.”
Beck wiped Kayla’s back, and I gave him a questioning look. “Her ass was rubbing against me.” He finished and threw the rag in the laundry basket in the corner.
“What took you so long?” Kayla muttered against my chest before yawning. “You didn’t answer. I thought you didn’t care.”
“There was shitty reception at the stadium. We didn’t even realize… we were careless and we’re sorry.” I moved my hands to her back, rubbing in reassuring circles.
Kane and Rylan moved about the room taking the used dildos and vibrators into the bathroom to clean.
Beck lay next to us stroking Kayla’s back, his eyes never leaving her. “Rest, little omega. Because when you wake up, we’re going to make up for all the pain we put you through.”
“Don’t call me that…” her voice trailed off as she fell asleep on top of me.
Why we’d all denied our pack this feeling for so long weighed heavily on me, but maybe there was a reason.
Her.
