CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
I t’s been a week of bliss with Pack De Lucca, and things seem a little too good to be true. We spent the day finishing the rest of the Harry Potter movies with the two couches pushed together like we did last week, and somewhere in the middle of part two of the Deathly Hallows, Mattie and I fell asleep spooned together, my back to his front. Even Titus was present, though he kept to the edges of the nest like he was afraid to get too close to me.
It’s not until the sound of a shower down the hall stirs me that I realize all lights in the loft except the corner lamp have been turned off, and Mattie and I are the only ones on the couch bed.
“Hmmm…” I snuggle back into Mattie’s hard chest.
Mattie’s hand is splayed on my stomach under my shirt, and at my movement, his fingers start dragging along my skin in lazy circles, leaving tingles in their wake. What starts as a sweet, maybe even innocent movement, takes a turn when his fingers slide under the band of my shorts. My breath hitches, and his hand freezes.
“Would you like me to stop, amore mio ?” His voice is thick with sleep, his whisper raspy. Wordlessly, I shake my head, and his hand continues on its path downward, until the tips of fingers swipe through my soaking wet pussy. He groans, “ Ti senti divino e io ti avrò, tesoro mio. ”
I have no idea what he just said, but the words make my pussy gush, and my back arches, pushing my ass into his crotch. His hard cock presses into me, and he slips two fingers inside my pussy.
“So wet for me already,” he groans into my ear, bucking his hips against my ass as he pumps his fingers in and out of me. He presses hot, open mouth kisses to my neck and sucks on the spot right between my shoulder and my neck. “This is where I will mark you when you are ready, tesoro mio .”
“Oh, Mattie,” I whimper, his words setting me on fire. The thought of bonds with this pack doesn’t scare me. No, if anything it just turns me on more.
My hips move as Mattie continues thrusting up into my pussy, and when he puts his thumb on my clit, making small, defined circles, I lose my damn mind. A mix between a shriek and a whimper rips out of me as Mattie continues to rub his cock against my ass, and when my walls clamp down on his fingers, he curses, and his movements stuttering as he works me through my orgasm.
The sound of our breathing fills the empty air, and Mattie withdraws his fingers, but doesn’t remove his hand from my pants, instead cupping my sex. The hold is comforting, and secure, and I don’t doubt that if it weren’t for the cum soaking through Mattie’s sweats, we could have fallen asleep like that.
Well, except for two minutes later when Archie comes out of the bathroom, freshly showered and throws his arms up while looking at us in disbelief. “I leave the room for ten minutes and miss all the fun!"
My senses go on high alert when I hear multiple pairs of footsteps bounding up the stairs, followed by a slammed door.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Archie’s voice echoes down the hall. I had come upstairs to get dressed before the brunch Cady had insisted on making for all of us, and when I left she was happily chatting with Simon and Ollie while mixing pancake batter.
When I come out of our room to see him shoving a finger in Titus’ chest, my brows shoot up.
My beta is not one to anger easily, and hearing him speak to his packmate like this makes me itch to correct it. But first, I need to get more information.
“What are you talking about?” Titus snarls, his tone angry.
“You made her cry, you grumpy asshole!” Archie glares at him, and Ollie comes out of the nest, shutting the door quietly behind him.
“She won’t admit it, but she’s really upset, Sy is still in there with her.” Ollie’s normally joy-filled voice is laced with apprehension. “You fucked up, man.”
“Again, what the hell are you all on about?” Titus looks back and forth between Archie and Ollie.
“She setting the table with a brunch she spent hours making. And you just walked into the dining room, muttered something about not being able to do this, and left!” Archie growls.
“So?”
“She thinks you don’t want her, Titus,” Ollie finally says. “I was going to let it be, because I know seeing what happened with your brother really fucked you up. But you’re so afraid of her leaving, you’re pushing her away. She doesn’t deserve that.”
“I—”
I’ve heard enough. “No, she doesn’t,” I walk toward them, drawing up to my full height. It’s not often that I use my status as head alpha to influence the pack, but I will not lose Cady because Titus cannot handle his own emotions.
Titus has the good sense to look a little guilty. “Look, I didn’t mean—”
“Ollie, Archie, please go be with Cady and reassure her as much as you can.” At my words the two of them nod and head back towards the nest. Then, I turn my attention back to Titus. “When we discussed meeting her,” I walk closer, my voice growing more stern, “you said that you reserved the right to pull us out if you thought she wasn’t genuine. We all know that is not the case. Pretty much from the moment we met her. Not only are we are her true scent match, we also all work well together as a pack and seem to genuinely like each other. Just because that didn’t mean anything to your brother's omega, does not mean it doesn’t mean anything to her.”
A growl rips from Titus’ throat. “You don’t—”
“The only way she will leave us at this point is if you push her away anymore than you already have.” I let my dominance flow free, a part of myself I usually keep on a tight leash, and Titus bares his neck to me in response. I loathe doing this, but it is the only way. “You will fix this, Titus. It would be different if you genuinely did not care for her. But I know you’re just as enamored as the rest of us.”
He nods tightly, and I draw my dominance back in, and Titus slumps slightly in relief. “Do not come to the nest unless you have something productive to say.” He grits his teeth at my words, but nods, and walks down the stairs. A moment later, I hear the front door slam shut.
Sighing, I run a hand over my face. I really hope Titus can figure out what he needs to do. Otherwise…I don’t know what will become of our pack.
