He's right. I know he's right. But anxiety still claws at my chest.

For months, we've been planning this moment. Not just another heat. The heat where we finally solve the problem that's been quietly breaking my heart.

The others can't feel me through the pack bond.

That changes tonight.

"The bonds with you three." I can't keep the wonder from my voice. "I've been wanting this for so long."

"We understand," Gunner says quietly. His voice is rougher than usual as he adjusts his hardening cock. "So we can always find you. Always know you're safe."

"Besides," Hawk grins. Those gray eyes are darkening as Daisy's scent intensifies. His hand moves more deliberately over his jean-covered erection. "If you're going to be part of this revolution, we need to sense when you're about to do something stupidly heroic."

That's when I hear it. Heavy footsteps on the porch. The door opening.

Finally.

"About time," Hawk calls out as Cassian walks through the door. He looks winded. Smells like smoke and sweat from the underground fights. "We were about to start without you, and trust me, you don't want to miss this show."

Cassian's amber eyes find mine immediately. "Sorry, August. Meeting ran longer than expected, but it was worth it. We have twenty fighters ready to move when we need them."

Twenty.My heart skips.

"But right now, our girl needs us."

We move toward the bedroom together. I can already sense the intensity of Daisy's heat building. When we push through the door, the sight that greets us makes my cock throb painfully against my jeans.

She's breathtaking. And desperate.

Daisy is naked in the center of our expanded nest. Her skin is flushed rose and gleaming with sweat. She's breathing hard. Desperate whimpers escape her lips as heat cramps make her curl into herself. Slick is already coating her thighs. Her body preparing for what it needs.

What we all need.

"August." Daisy's voice carries that new authority when she sees me. "I can feel your worry through Cassian's bond. Come here."

The quiet command in her voice reminds me of the woman who stood up and demanded we start a revolution. She's not just asking. She's telling us what she needs.

This isn't the terrified omega we rescued. This is our revolutionary queen.

I undress quickly. My hands tremble with anticipation. My cock springs free, already hard and weeping pre-cum from her scent. When I climb into the nest, Daisy immediately reaches for me.

"I'm here, sunshine." I pull her into my arms. She melts against me. "We're all here now."

Over the past year, we've all grown comfortable with this intimacy. Seeing each other bare, vulnerable, completely open. While Hawk, Gunner, and Dante are drawn only to Daisy, there'sa beautiful comfort between all of us now. We find joy in watching each other love her.

I stroke her hair gently, feeling the heat radiating from her skin. And having them witness what Cassian and I share... it's something I never knew my heart needed.

"I've been waiting." She pants against my neck. "Been needing you to stop holding back with me. I need you to fuck me like you mean it. Like you're not afraid I'll break."

The others are undressing now too. I can see them. Dante's thick cock already hard in his fist. Gunner stroking himself slowly as he watches us. Hawk palming his length with that cocky grin.

We begin with urgency this time. Her heat demands it.

Hands and mouths worship her heated skin with desperate purpose. Fingers exploring. Lips pressing kisses that make her arch and moan. She responds to every touch with desperate sounds.

The scent of her arousal fills the air. Thick. Intoxicating.

"I want both of you." She gasps, looking between Cassian and me. "I want to feel so full I can't think."
