JUSTICE

We barely made it home without me crashing the car. I had double parked in front of Perc rather than bothering to search for an open spot. Her absolute thrill at saying “keep the change” as she handed over the hundred was a shot of adrenaline to my system, better than rappelling off a sheer cliff face.

I had been the one who couldn’t wait. We had pulled into our parking garage and I had barely managed to put it in park. The engine had still been running when I pinned her to the passenger seat and finger fucked her. The ice coffee rattled in her hand as she came. I had made her lick my fingers clean before we got out of the car.

She held my hand as we rode the elevator, positively glowing and sipping on her coffee. I felt like I was skipping down the hallway, my dripping wet omega in one hand and the little shopping bag in the other.

Theo sat curled into Ren’s side on the couch, both of them looking relaxed and content in a way that still made my chest tight. I stepped in front of them.

“Theo.” His eyes immediately found mine. “Come here.”

I pointed to the floor between my feet. He slipped off the couch without hesitation, settling on his knees and looking up at me with those remarkable eyes.

“I got you something.” I pulled out the box, opening it to reveal the two gold bracelets nestled in black velvet.

Theo’s breath caught. “Justice…”

“I want you to wear them when you want to feel small, like a marshmallow.” I ran my fingers through his hair. “When you need to remember that you’re mine.”

He leaned into my touch, his eyes fluttering closed. “Yes, Sir.”

I bent down and kissed him, soft and claiming, tasting the yes on his lips.

“Put them on me?” His voice was barely a whisper.

As I fastened the first bracelet around his wrist, I felt Ren shift on the couch behind me. Felt Mackenzie’s presence as she curled up next to him. The pack bonds hummed between us, warm and settled and complete.

“Perfect,” I murmured, clicking the second bracelet into place.

Theo flexed his hands, the gold catching the light. “They’re beautiful.”

“You’re beautiful.” I threaded my fingers through his hair. “All of you.”

Ren’s laugh was soft behind me. “Look at our boy scout alpha, getting all sentimental.”

I turned to find Mackenzie beaming at us, her legs tucked under her as she leaned against Ren’s shoulder. The bite marks on both their necks were still visible, still made something possessive and satisfied purr in my chest. Ren’s teeth on my neck were healing way too fast.

I pulled Theo up by the wrists as I straddled Ren’s lap on the couch. He looked up at me with that wicked smile that had been getting me in trouble since we were kids.

“So,” I said, settling my weight against him, “do you have any other plans to fuck with your alpha, or can we consider this operation a success?”

Ren’s hands found my hips, his grip possessive. “Alpha, I haven’t even begun to fuck you in all the ways I want.”

He pulled me down for a kiss, feeding me all his loyalty and lust through our bond. When his hand slipped between us to stroke me through my pants, I groaned against his mouth. I traced his bottom lip. He flicked his tongue out to lick it and I pushed it into his mouth. Ren would always be greedy for me, for any part of me.

“We have a problem,” I said. He raised an eyebrow. “Our omega,” I indicated Mackenzie, “couldn’t get through a simple shopping trip without coming on my hand in the parking lot. But I think she needs cock.”

“Justice!” she gasped and swatted me on the shoulder.

I nodded towards Theo. “And this one is inches away from begging.”

Ren rolled his eyes like this was a hardship. “Work, work, work.”

I held his face, stroking my thumb across his cheekbone. I let everything I felt for him flow through our bond. My devotion, gratitude, my need for him like air. I held his gaze until he was breathless.

His hands went to my belt, methodically undoing me, pulling the zipper down.

“Yes, Alpha,” his voice vibrated in the air. “I still get to be on top.” His wicked smile was almost enough to make me come on the spot.
