Chapter Forty-Two

Ronan

D ayson arrived an hour after Teal passed out to pick up the boys. He’d agreed to watch them at his apartment. Since Dayson had maintained his guard for another week out of an abundance of caution, everyone felt comfortable with the arrangement.

Dayson greeted Ronan at the front door.

“You’re okay if Mikel spends some time around the kids? We’re not living together or anything, but he’s been coming to my apartment a lot lately.”

“I respect your judgement. I still can’t believe you tamed that alpha,” Ronan mused.

“We’ll see how settled I can get him,” Dayson answered with a grin. “I kind of like how he challenges me, when his bullheadedness about how things should be kicks in.”

“Sounds like you’ve met your match.”

“I could say the same to you.” Dayson peered toward the stairs. “All of you.”

Ronan replied with a wry expression as his own thoughts drifted to the men in his bedroom, especially his husband, whose lavender honey aroma was driving him half-crazy at the moment.

The twins walked over with Zayne between them. They carried backpacks with clothes for the next few days. Ronan squatted down and the boys enveloped him in a hug.

“Take care of Daddy,” Kino told his father seriously.

Ronan nodded, just as seriously. “I will.” He knew his boys had received some education about heats in school but wasn’t sure how much they understood. At least enough to keep from protesting when he’d explained that they’d be staying at Dayson’s house.

“Good,” Garin said. “And we’ll take care of Zayne.”

Dayson chuckled. “I’ll be taking care of your brother, my little alpha. You don’t need to worry.”

Garin hmphed.

“It’ll be okay, Garin. Dayson’s gonna read to us lots,” Zayne said sleepily.

“I certainly will.” Dayson placed a hand on Zayne’s head and Ronan delighted in the boy’s look of wonder as he felt the omega bond. “Now, give your papa one more kiss and let’s head off. I know it’s early, but the grocery store is probably open. You can all pick out some snacks for my place.”

The boys hustled into the car.

“Thanks again, my friend.” Ronan shook Dayson’s hand.

“No problem.” Dayson winked. “Have fun.”

Returning upstairs, Ronan found the omegas naked and wrapped up in one another. His already-hard cock strained in his sweatpants at the sight. Lust heated his face.

Sorcha had propped himself up against the headboard and Teal was draped over him. The bigger omega was completely dazed, but not in a worrying way. Ronan was grateful Teal had made his wishes clear before he’d essentially passed out.

He just wished his betas would yield to the situation. Because by the end of this heat, they would no doubt be his betas. His and Teal’s and Sorcha’s.

But Jax and Niall held back, even though their interest was undeniable, their prominent erections outlined by close-fitting joggers. They took their shirts off and stared at the omegas with heat in their eyes, but didn’t move toward the bed, instead standing awkwardly on either side.

Ronan couldn’t have that. He wanted to give his husband exactly what he wished for. Even if Teal wasn’t fully aware, he believed Teal could sense what was happening.

His inner alpha surfaced, demanding he put his men at ease, demanding he deliver pleasure to all of them.

He needed to take charge of this situation. The others were waiting for him to be the driver.

Ronan wouldn’t disappoint them.

Stripping off his tee, Ronan walked over to Jax and ran a hand boldly over the man’s torso, causing him to shiver.

Trailing his fingertip over Jax’s tattoos, he pressed lightly on the intricate lines.

He paused on the beta pride symbol over Jax’s heart before leaning down to kiss where his finger had been.

Jax sucked in a breath as Ronan mouthed his chest, licking his way down the hard plains of the beta’s abdomen and up again until he lashed his hot pink tongue across Jax’s pebbled nipples.

Jax clutched Ronan to his chest. “Fuuuuuuuck,” he breathed, as Ronan continued torturing first one nipple and then the other, nibbling them deftly between his teeth.

Ronan worked his way up Jax’s neck, plastering kisses across his jaw until, finally, their lips met.

Ronan had never kissed anyone as large and solid as Jax.

He growled as he gripped the beta’s hips, his fervor intensified by the intoxicating scent of Teal’s slick.

Plunging his tongue into Jax’s mouth, Ronan savaged his lips.

After a beat of shock, Jax rose to the challenge, giving no quarter as his hands came up to grasp Ronan’s shoulders.

Steadying himself, Jax pushed their chests together as they kissed and battled for dominance.

Sorcha’s hushed voice reverberated in the dimly-lit room. “Fuck, that’s so hot.”

“The hottest,” Niall agreed.

Ronan pulled his mouth back but kept them locked together from chest to cock to thigh by looping his brawny arms around Jax’s waist.

“My beta,” Ronan rasped, unwilling to apologize for the term. “You know what Teal wanted. And you know it’s what we all want. Let us have no more resistance in this bed. Let’s love one another, and pleasure one another, and take what we need.”

Jax squeezed his eyelids shut before opening them again. His dark stare met Ronan’s.

“Yes…alpha.”

Ronan trembled at hearing the whispered word from the beta’s mouth. A growl formed deep in his throat. Jax tried to look down, but Ronan stopped him with a finger to the chin. “You are mine.” He kissed Jax’s lips gently. Reverently. “As I am yours.”

Ronan reached down and snaked his fingers beneath the waistband of Jax’s pants. Jax lifted each leg as Ronan peeled his pants and boxers from him.

Keeping his gaze fixed on Jax’s, Ronan pulled off his own sweats before lining up their leaking cocks. He used pre-cum to stroke their shafts together. It was rough without lube, but Ronan welcomed the punishing glide and knew Jax did as well.

He began jacking them in earnest. Jax broke their eye contact as his face pinched in ecstasy.

From the bed, a moan. Half lust. Half pain.

Teal.

“He needs you, Ronan,” Sorcha said. “It’s time.”

Ronan nodded, giving Jax’s cock one final pump before maneuvering himself deftly behind Teal.

Sorcha released a small laugh as Ronan’s weight dipped into the mattress. “Slightly different from my heat, huh? You’re not a raging beast.”

“This is how it’s supposed to be, little one.” Ronan ran a palm across Sorcha’s cheek before leaning over Teal to peck the young omega’s lips. “And you never have to worry about having such a terrible start to your heats ever again.”

Ronan positioned Teal so he was practically laying on Sorcha’s belly, before pulling Teal’s knees up and entering him from behind in one swift motion.

Teal let out a satisfied sound at Ronan’s invasion, his loose, slick hole more than ready to receive a thick cock.

As Ronan pistoned in and out, moving urgently but gently, he kissed the back of Teal’s shoulders and licked some of the sweat from his skin.

He couldn’t reach Sorcha for another kiss in this position, so he kept the younger omega close by placing a hand on Sorcha’s thigh.

As Ronan thrusted into Teal, with Teal on top of Sorcha, it felt like he was fucking both his omegas at once.

Niall and Jax stood near the bed, Niall now fully naked, holding one another and kissing as they ground their cocks together. They still hadn’t joined the three men on the bed, but Ronan sensed their earlier awkwardness had faded.

Ronan looked up at Niall and they exchanged the secret smile only ex-lovers could share. Ronan hadn’t let himself dream that he’d make love to Niall again. Now they were here, and the circumstances were so much better than he could have ever imagined.

Patting the sheets next to Sorcha, Ronan motioned for the betas to join them. As he did so, he felt the tingles in his spine that signaled an imminent orgasm.

“I can’t last long these first few times,” he said to Sorcha, knowing he was giving Niall and Jax a heat education as well. “Once I knot him once or twice, it’ll get a little easier. If he breeds, it will most likely happen tomorrow, during his delirium.”

Niall lay down on the bed and pulled Jax on top of him.

“Lube’s in the bedside table,” Sorcha offered helpfully.

“ Nnnnnnnngh .” Teal’s labored voice sounded beneath Ronan.

Sorcha laughed and braced Teal’s head between his hands, kissing him full on the mouth. “You dirty boy.” He kissed him again.

“He came?” Ronan asked, although he’d felt the fluttering of Teal’s hole.

“Without even touching his dick,” Sorcha replied happily. “All over his stomach and mine.”

“Fuck,” Niall said.

Ronan looked over to see Jax with two fingers deep in Niall’s hole, stretching him.

The sight was enough to trigger his release.

Pleasure exploded through every inch of his body as he unloaded into Teal and his knot swelled.

There was no greater feeling for an alpha than fucking an omega in heat.

And having all his partners here, after ten years of never sharing Teal’s heats with anyone, was a transcendent experience.

As his knot grew to its full size, he rolled Teal halfway off Sorcha, locking them in position on their sides.

Teal threw one leg over Sorcha’s knees, insisting on being close to the other omega even in his relatively unaware state.

Ronan registered Teal’s seed smeared on Sorcha’s belly.

The little omega ran his finger through the creamy fluid before bringing it to his mouth and sucking it.

“Stars,” Ronan mumbled. Sorcha grinned at him.

A squelching sound reverberated through the room as Jax coated his dick in lube and slammed into Niall.

“Fuck! Babe, that’s so good,” Niall cried.

“Love you,” Jax responded.

With his cock buried deep in Teal, one hand under Teal’s neck and the other resting on Sorcha’s hip, Ronan settled into his pillow and enjoyed the show.

His betas’ fucking was magnificent.

Jax thrusted with force, the sleek muscles of his back defined by his efforts. His long hair framed them as he hoisted himself up on straight arms, biceps bulging, and relentlessly pounded into Niall.

Over and over, his hips snapped forward. Ronan couldn’t take his eyes off the sight. Fascinated, he removed his hand from Sorcha’s hip and placed it on Jax’s ass.

Jax startled for a moment as Ronan’s curious fingers caressed him. Then, licking his lips, Jax gave him a slight nod of encouragement.

Ronan pressed his fingers down, feeling the muscles of Jax’s backside as he drove into Niall.

The alpha registered the raw strength behind Jax’s movements, felt the deliberate way he moved his hips, treating Niall with care while also remaining on the edge of breaking him.

Ronan’s palm smoothed circles along Jax’s ass as he moved over Niall, until finally, Jax punched his hips one last time and froze, face drawn in ecstasy as he spilled deep in Niall’s body.

Ronan pushed down on Jax’s ass, driving him further into the other beta, and marveled at the power of Jax’s glutes beneath his fingers.

Niall cried out and came a few seconds after Jax, coating both their chests with ropes of milky white cum.

Jax exhaled heavily and fell on the mattress next to Niall, pushing him closer to Sorcha. As he’d done with Teal, Sorcha ran his finger through Niall’s release and brought it to his mouth, sucking on the digit before releasing it with a pop , causing all three men to hitch their breath.

“That was amazing,” Niall whooshed out, throwing a crooked arm over his face. “I know betas aren’t supposed to be affected by omega heats… And I’m not, not the way alphas and omegas are, anyway. But there’s something about being part of it that just makes everything more intense.”

Jax snuggled Niall closer to his chest.

Ronan laughed. “And we’re just getting started.” He kissed Teal once more on the cheek as his knot held firm within him. “There’s just one problem.”

“Problem?” Jax asked.

Ronan’s hand drifted suggestively across Sorcha’s hip. “Our little omega hasn’t come yet.”
