Chapter 31

Ava

I’m barely aware that we’re moving up the stairs and down the wide hallway toward my room. All I can really focus on is the way Dante’s skin tastes beneath my lips. I keep darting my tongue out, practically licking him, and all around us, the scents of cinnamon and cookies, rich dark chocolate, caramel, apple cider, and a roaring fire fill the air.

It’s intoxicating, and even though my body is already screaming for more, unsatisfied with the three orgasms I’ve already had since my heat set in at the NexusTech office, a sense of comfort and peace fills me too.

I’m home.

That thought still scares me a little, but only because of how right it feels. The little apartment I lived in for years was fine, but it was nothing compared to this house—and not because of the luxury that surrounds me here in the mansion with the four Alphas.

It’s because of them.

Dante, Caleb, Ethan, and Garrett.

They fill this place up with their laughter and deep voices, with their intoxicating scents, and with their unique personalities. They treat each other like family, and now that I’m here, they treat me like family too.

I’ve never had that before.

I’ve never been treasured and protected. I’ve never been desired so wholly, both physically and emotionally, and I’m overwhelmed by how much I desire them right back.

Dante strides into my bedroom, his large hands gripping my thighs to hold me up as I keep my arms and legs wrapped around him. The other three Alphas are right behind us, but when Dante starts to head toward my bed, I make a little noise of protest in my throat. He stops immediately, smoothing one hand down my messy hair.

“Where do you want to be, baby girl?”

I finally drag my lips away from his neck, glancing around the room. I’ve been arranging and re-arranging the space for days now, trying to get it just right, and I point to a corner where I’ve got several throw pillows stacked against each other. “Over there. But it needs more blankets. The fluffy ones. And more pillows.”

“On it.” Caleb nods, reading my mind the way he seems to do so often. He crosses the room and opens the closet, pulling out several more blankets and pillows that I hadn’t decided what to do with yet.

He brings them over, laying out one of the pillows on the floor and setting the pillows down nearby as he jerks his chin at Ethan.

“There are a few more in the closet,” he tells his pack mate. “And even more in that walk-in closet down the hall. I got extras and backups of everything in case Ava needed more.”

I’m touched by how far out of his way he went to make sure I’d have everything I would need, and I’m grateful when Ethan disappears into the hall to get more. I’ve never felt such a strong need for a nest before in my life. I want to be surrounded by soft, fluffy things, to feel perfectly safe and secure. The way they’re all so attentive to my needs makes it hard to feel worried about what the rest of my heat will be like, but I know instinctively that having a nest where I feel safe will allow me to give myself over to the heat and let my Alphas take care of me without holding anything back.

As if my thoughts have reminded my body of everything it needs, a spasm runs through me, my core clenching tightly and my lower belly seeming to melt with heat.

“I need… one of you inside me,” I gasp out, grinding against Dante until I’m practically dry humping his stomach.

“We’ve got you, baby girl,” he purrs.

Garrett and Caleb lay down one more blanket, and as Ethan returns with more stuff from the closet, Dante sets me down, laying me back on the soft blanket. Ethan lowers the lights a little, and when he closes the door behind him, I swear their scents all spike in the air.

Dante leans back, kneeling between my legs with Garrett and Caleb on either side of him, and Ethan lays out the new blankets and pillows he got as Garrett reaches up with one hand and shucks his shirt, tugging it over his head. He hooks the backs of my knees and tugs me toward him, angling my body so that he’s the one between my legs instead of Dante. My skirt is bunched up so high it’s practically around my waist now, and Garrett’s chest heaves as he looks down at the apex of my thighs.

“Are you this wet for us?” he groans. “Is that all your slick?”

“Some of it is Dante’s cum,” I whisper, reaching down to slide a finger into myself beneath my panties as if to be sure.

Garrett’s gaze flicks to Dante, a slight bit of jealousy lighting in his eyes, but it snuffs itself out when Dante says, “She was in pain. Her heat hit her suddenly, and she needed a knot before things got any worse. So I took care of her, helping to take the edge off before I brought her back here.”

“To be with all of you,” I add, and when Garrett’s eyes dart back to me, warmth reflects in their dark brown depths.

“I’m glad Dante was there to help,” he murmurs, letting go of my knees and working quickly to get rid of his pants.

His cock springs free, and he fists himself as he watches Ethan join Dante and Caleb as they undress me. My soaked panties are the last thing to go, and instead of pulling them down my legs, Dante just rips them at the seam, tugging them away from my body and tossing them away.

“Me too,” I say breathlessly. “But now it’s your turn.”

Reaching for Garrett, I pull him closer to me, feeling small and fragile beneath his massive body, but somehow also protected and shielded. The thick head of his cock brushes against my stomach, leaving a trail of precum as he shifts his hips downward and notches himself at my entrance.

“Gonna fill you up,” he growls hoarsely. Then he pitches his hips forward, driving into me.

I gasp, every nerve ending in my body doing a joyful dance at the feeling of being stretched and claimed by this gruff, handsome, stoic Alpha. He draws back until just the tip is still buried inside me, then plunges in again, fucking me in such long strokes that I think the friction of it might drive me mad with pleasure.

Lifting my hips to meet each of his thrusts, I wrap my legs around him and press my heels into his firm, muscled ass, urging him to go harder and deeper. He does, his deep grunts filling the air as he bottoms out over and over. The other three Alphas surround me, their hands all over my body—massaging my breasts, toying with my nipples, even reaching down to play with my clit—until I feel like I’m being swept up in some sort of never-ending current of pleasure.

It doesn’t take long for me to come, and when I do, I stiffen beneath Garrett, my legs clamping around his waist as my eyelids flutter. He leans down and kisses me, stilling inside me as his tongue delves into my mouth… but his knot doesn’t swell. I make a noise into our kiss, and he draws back to gaze down at me, his dark eyes blazing.

“Not yet,” he says soothingly. “You’ll get a knot soon enough, little Omega. But first, all three of my pack mates are going to fuck you and make you come. All right?”

That sounds like heaven to me, so I nod emphatically, my head bobbing up and down as my entire body aches for more stimulation.

“Good girl.” He gives me another kiss, running his fingers through my hair.

When he pulls out of me, he fists the base of his cock, which is glistening with slick and cum. I don’t know where he found the self-control to keep from knotting me right this minute, but as much as I crave his knot, I’m glad he did. Because I need all of these men inside me. I need to feel their cocks stretching me, impaling me, claiming me. And even though Cary told me that Alphas’ knots deflate faster during their Omega’s heat, I’m not sure I could stand to wait that long to have each of them fuck me.

I need them all now .

“You look so beautiful like this,” Caleb murmurs quietly, moving between my legs as Garrett shifts out of the way to make room for him. Sometime while I was preoccupied by Garrett, the other three men undressed, and they’re all fully naked now too. “Your hair spread out around you, your nipples hard, and your breasts flushed. You look fucked out and perfect. I can’t believe you’re here with us right now. I’m so glad we get to be the ones to help you through your first heat.”

His voice is full of warmth and conviction, and tears blur my vision for a second as a rush of emotions surges up to join the arousal coursing through me. My entire body is extra sensitive right now, and it feels as if my heart is too. I slide my fingers through the silky blond hair at the nape of his neck and pull him down to kiss me, and as our lips meet, his cock slides into my waiting core. I’m messy and so wet, and he groans at the feel of it as my body welcomes him inside.

“I want you to come again for me,” he whispers in between kisses. “I know you need it. Chase what feels good, sweetheart. Take whatever you need.”

He starts to fuck me in steady strokes, and I do take what I need. When licks of fire start to sweep through my veins, I press against his chest, urging him to roll over. He does, pulling me with him so that our positions are reversed. I end up on top of him, and his hands settle at my waist as I start to ride him. I’ve never particularly loved this position before, too self-conscious to really enjoy it.

But there’s no room for embarrassment right now.

Not with him looking up at me with awe and desire in his eyes.

Not with the other three Alphas running their hands over my body, worshipping me like I’m everything they could ever want.

I let my head tip back and close my eyes, the muscles in my thighs burning as I slide up and down Caleb’s thick cock, fucking myself on it as hard and deep as I want. When fingertips graze over my clit, I don’t even bother to look to see who it is, trusting all four of these Alphas to take care of me.

The fingers move faster, and someone wraps their lips around my nipple, teasing it with their teeth as I ride Caleb. The feel of it, combined with the hungry, appreciative groans that fill my ears, pushes me over the edge into another hard climax. I slam down on Caleb’s cock one more time and stay there, rolling my hips in tiny movements as I grind against him, trying to bring him deeper… just a little deeper.

“Fuck.” His voice is choked. “If you keep doing that, I’m going to knot you right now. I won’t be able to wait.”

The desperation and desire in his voice go right to my head. It takes all my self-control to stop, but I want what Garrett offered too much to keep going. I want all four of these Alphas to make me come on their cocks.

Still, I can’t keep myself from squeezing around Caleb’s shaft, sending another rush of pleasure tearing through me as the pulsing of my inner walls sets off another orgasm. Caleb sits up suddenly, closing his mouth around one of my breasts and sucking hard. It’s intense and sharp, a sensation unlike anything I’ve ever felt before, and I can feel myself gush all over his cock as I shiver, my hands clutching at his head.

Bracing one hand on my back, he carefully reverses our positions again, depositing me on the soft blanket before slowly dragging his still-hard cock out of my sopping pussy.

Dante is next, and even though I still have remnants of his cum inside me and smeared all over my inner thighs, my body feels just as hungry for him now as it did back in his office.

“Thank you for getting me through the first part,” I tell him softly. “And for bringing me back here afterward. I know you meant it when you said you’d bring my entire nest to your office, but this is better. So much better.”

“I’m glad. I’d do anything for you, baby girl. I hope you know that. I never want you to think that I—”

He breaks off, clearing his throat, and I know he’s thinking of how he made me cry the other day. Rationally, I know it was silly, but I couldn’t help the way I felt in the moment. But more than the feeling of sadness and hurt, I remember the relief I felt when he came back and held me in his arms. I remember the way his voice rumbled in my ear as he spoke, and the way he cradled me against his body.

“I know,” I whisper. “And I don’t think that. I know I matter to you. And you… you matter to me too, Dante.”

His steel-gray eyes seem to melt, his irises gleaming like molten metal, and he holds my gaze as he starts to fuck me for the second time today. It feels even more incredible than it did when he bent me over in his office, because this time, I’m surrounded by the three other Alphas who are slowly claiming my heart. They all watch me and Dante move together, reaching out to touch me or kiss me as I gasp and writhe beneath him.

When I come on his cock, Dante makes the sexiest groan, wrapping his arms around me and sitting back on his heels as he pulls me into his lap. One arm stays looped around me as the other catches my chin, and he watches every expression that passes over my face as I come, devouring them with his gaze.

“You’re so fucking beautiful when you come,” he murmurs gruffly. “I can’t wait to watch you do that a hundred more times.”

My stomach flutters at the implication in his words, and I gasp out, “A hundred times? That’s a lot.”

“That’s not even scratching the surface, baby girl,” he promises. “The things I want to do to you…”

He kisses me again, slow and deep and possessive, his scent and the other Alphas’ scents wrapping around me like the most perfect blanket. When he finally lifts me off his cock and settles me back onto the blankets, I know I should be exhausted. I can feel the strain in my muscles from coming so hard so many times, but my Omega instincts aren’t satisfied yet. They won’t be satisfied until I get the one thing I still need.

Ethan .

The handsome, devilishly charming man flashes me a grin as he moves in to fill the space vacated by his pack mate when Dante steps aside. He slides his hands along my inner thighs, the warmth of his palms searing my skin and making my breath catch. He uses his thumbs to spread my pussy lips, opening me up to his greedy gaze as his tongue slides over his lower lip.

“I’ve been thinking about this for so long,” he murmurs in a husky voice. “Since the night I first met you, honestly. But this? It’s better than anything my imagination could ever have dreamed up. You’re a fucking vision, gorgeous.”

I whimper as his thumbs slide up to pinch my clit between them, and when a gush of slick seeps from me, Ethan groans. He drags his fingers through the wetness and uses it to coat his cock, stroking himself even as he lines up the smooth head with my entrance.

He presses inside, and I can’t help but look down to watch as his shaft disappears inside me, my stomach fluttering at the sight. The vein on top of his cock pulses as he pulls out and glides back in with agonizing slowness, and I feel like I could come just from the sight of him fucking me like this.

“Watching you watch me fuck you is my new favorite thing in the entire world,” he says, a chuckle in his voice. When my gaze darts back up to his face, he’s grinning down at me. “Don’t stop now, gorgeous. Keep watching your body take my cock. Keep watching the way you swallow me up.”

Licking my lips, I let my gaze drift back down, and as he starts to move in a steady rhythm, I moan with every thrust. The other three Alphas are a constant presence around us, and at one point, as pleasure starts to build so high that it threatens to overwhelm me, I reach for all of them. Garrett and Dante grip my hands as Ethan holds my legs under the knees, keeping my steady and lifting my ass up to meet his thrusts. Caleb’s hands are on my breasts, plucking at my nipples and rolling them between his fingers in a way that sends little darts of sensation shooting through me.

“Fuck yes,” I whine. “Don’t stop. Please, just, all of you… keep going. Don’t let go. Don’t stop. Don’t—oh god!”

I break off with a sharp cry as another orgasm rips through me like a tornado, tearing me apart and putting me back together all in one fell swoop. I toss my head back and forth, my back arching as I clamp down around Ethan just in time to feel his knot swell. He thrusts hard and deep, burying it inside me, and our bodies lock together as he shouts out his own release, pumping me full of his cum.

“Fuck, Ava. Oh fuck! ”

He’s breathing just as hard as I am as he looks down at the place where his cock disappears inside my pussy, and he releases his hold on one of my legs to slide his fingers around my opening, grazing my clit and making me jump as pleasure spikes again.

“Holy shit, that’s so incredible,” he breathes. His eyes are dark as his gaze travels back up to my face. “Does that feel good?”

“So good,” I murmur on a sigh. “I feel so full. I can feel your cum inside me, and it…”

I trail off, not sure how to describe or explain why the feel of this Alpha’s cum coating my womb feels both erotic and comforting at the same time. Instead, I just reach down to tangle my fingers with his, guiding his fingertip back to my clit and using both of our hands to tip myself over into another orgasm. A full body shudder passes through me as I come for the… honestly, I’ve lost count of how many times it’s been at this point.

Unlinking my fingers from Ethan’s, I look at the three Alphas gathered around us. They all look like they’re on the verge of exploding just from watching me climax, and I suddenly want to see that more than anything in the world.

“Come on me,” I whisper. “While Ethan is knotted inside me. I want to be marked by all of you on the outside and the inside.”

“Fucking hell.”

Garrett’s voice is like sandpaper, and his fist is already flying over his cock as he shuffles a little closer on his knees. Dante and Caleb follow his lead, moving toward me as they stroke themselves. My gaze darts back and forth, wanting to see everything, ravenous at the sight of these three powerful Alphas jerking off above me.

It’s like a domino effect. Garrett comes first, white ropes of cum spilling over his fingers and splattering across my lower belly. Dante grunts and comes on my breasts, painting them with his release, and Caleb finishes on my upper chest and neck. Some of his cum lands on my lower lip, and I draw it into my mouth, sucking up the taste of him.

Ethan grins at me. Bracing one hand near my head, he leans over me and drags his other hand in a slow trail up my stomach, between my breasts, and along the line of my neck, gathering a mixture of his friends’ cum on his fingers. When he reaches my mouth, he offers it to me, and all four of the men let out deep purrs of satisfaction as I wrap my lips around his thick fingers.

“Such a good girl,” he whispers, adoration shining in his eyes. “Our perfect girl.”

I smile, his words of praise making fuzzy warmth expand inside me. My limbs feel heavy, and for the first time since my heat struck, I actually feel mostly sated. Now that the desperate need to be knotted and claimed has been satisfied, exhaustion is creeping in, making my eyelids droop a little.

Ethan slips his finger from my mouth, his thumb dragging along my lower lip. With his knot still inside me, I know he won’t be going anywhere, and the other three Alphas settle in around me, making it clear that they have no plans to leave my side either.

With that knowledge resting lightly in my chest, I let my eyes close all the way as I fall into a doze.
