Chapter 39

Ava

I wake up a few days later to find that I’m in the middle of an Alpha sandwich.

Caleb and Ethan are on either side of me, snuggled close. I slept amazingly well. Honestly, since I’ve started sleeping with the men, and I really do mean sleeping in the literal sense, I’ve never slept better in my life.

It’s like even while I’m unconscious, my brain knows that I’m safe and protected. More than that—loved.

Not that I’ve said that word out loud yet. None of us have. But I feel it more and more every day. And I feel just about certain that the others feel it too.

I stretch lazily, enjoying the sensation. To my surprise, Ethan and Caleb each drape an arm over my waist, a coordinated movement that tells me they’re not actually asleep like I thought.

Ethan kisses the soft skin behind my ear. “Good morning.”

“Mmm, good morning.”

His teeth scrape over the shell of my ear. “And happy birthday.”

I freeze in surprise. “My birthday?”

Caleb, the one facing me, gets an adorable scrunch to his face. “You forgot?”

I shrug. “Birthdays aren’t usually something I celebrate.”

My parents never bothered to throw me a party, or take time off, or do anything special for my birthday. It was just another day for them. And when I got to college, I didn’t know how to ask for that attention. It felt wrong, somehow, to request that people treat me a certain way on a certain day.

Once I was an Omega, sharing any personal information felt like some kind of danger. Birthdays have absolutely nothing to do with whether you’re more likely to be an Alpha, a Beta, or an Omega. Some people have tried to say that star signs have something to do with it, but it’s all woo-woo nonsense.

Sharing my birthday wouldn’t make people suspect I was an Omega. And yet, it was personal information. That made me wary.

So really, I haven’t celebrated my birthday… wow, just about ever. Never in my life have I had a proper birthday celebration.

That’s depressing.

Except that my Alphas seem determined to change that.

“Well, you’re celebrating them from now on,” Caleb informs me.

Ethan slides his hand down my body, between my legs. “And I think we know just how to start off the celebration. Don’t you, Caleb?”

Caleb’s grin is wicked. “As a matter of fact…”

I moan, already wet. My body is so attuned to them now, craving even the slightest touch.

A wicked gleam enters Ethan’s eyes, and he delves his hand beneath the waistband of my little sleep shorts. His thumb finds my clit, and he circles it slowly while he looks over my head at Caleb.

“What do you say? Should we show our sweet Omega what kind of pampering she should expect on her birthdays from now on?”

“Definitely.”

Caleb’s hand trails down my back, and when I feel his fingers slip beneath the waistband of my shorts, I half regret wearing anything to bed last night. Sandwiched between these two gorgeous Alphas makes me wish I were already naked.

Not that my clothes seem to be slowing either of them down. Ethan’s thumb keeps sliding back and forth over my clit while Caleb slips a hand between my ass cheeks. His fingertip grazes over my back hole, and I drag in a breath, the muscles clenching involuntarily.

“You know, watching you get knotted in your pretty ass and your pussy at the same time was one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen,” he whispers. “I’ll never forget it. The way you took them both, so hungry for Alpha cock that it took two to satisfy you?”

I can feel him shudder softly behind me, and the idea that the memory of me getting fucked by his pack mates is affecting him so much makes warmth flood my chest.

I arch my back a little, pressing my ass into his hand, begging wordlessly for more.

“You all satisfy me,” I breathe. “You more than satisfy me. Together, separately—it’s all incredible. But… I did like that a lot.”

“You like having all your holes filled by us,” he supplies, sliding his finger into my asshole as if to demonstrate exactly what he means. The wanton moan that spills from my lips only proves him right, and when Ethan slips two fingers into my pussy, I can’t decide whether to roll my hips forward or backward.

Fortunately, they don’t make me choose. Both of the Alphas start to fuck me with their fingers, working them in deeper and picking up the pace of their movements. The pad of Ethan’s thumb is relentless on my clit, and it only takes a few more seconds for me to go flying over the edge, moaning each of their names in turn as I come with a shuddering sigh.

“There you go.” Ethan grins at me, his eyes bright. “First orgasm of your birthday, Birthday Girl.”

“But not the last,” Caleb promises, leaning closer to kiss the back of my neck.

And he’s right about that.

They keep toying with my pussy and ass, and I come again less than a minute later, squirming between them as they trade off kissing me.

“I know you can take more,” Caleb murmurs, his sky-blue eyes shining as our lips break apart. “I’ve seen you come until you were nothing but a puddle on the floor.”

“We won’t wreck you that bad this morning,” Ethan adds with a chuckle, trailing his mouth up my exposed throat. “Dante and Garrett would never forgive us, because they’ve got plans to help you celebrate too, and it will help if you can walk for that.”

I laugh, and the sound turns into a gasp as he hooks his fingers inside me, finding my g-spot.

“But give us at least one more,” Ethan coaxes, his voice dropping. “I want to feel you clench around my fingers again, just the way you clench around my knot.”

He brings his head a little lower, nipping at my collarbones, then ducks beneath the covers. A second later, his lips latch onto my breast, teasing my nipple through the thin fabric of the top I’m wearing. Caleb fucks my ass more forcefully, his free hand sliding around to play with my other breast.

I don’t know how they do it, since there’s no way either of them should be able to tell what the other is doing, but somehow, Caleb squeezes and tugs at my nipple in almost the exact same pattern Ethan is following with his teeth and tongue.

The effect is like a shot of pure heat injected straight into my veins, and I give up all semblance of trying to stay still or quiet. I writhe between them, arching and gasping, lost in the rush of sensations. One of my hands sinks into Ethan’s soft brown hair, urging him to keep going, while I reach back with the other to blindly grope for Caleb. I end up finding the bulge of his cock, and he hisses out a breath, thrusting into my hand.

“I’m… I’m close,” I pant. “I’ll come again for you… if you give me your cocks.”

“Negotiating for your orgasms.” Ethan laughs from beneath the blankets. “I like that. Very savvy of you, gorgeous. You drive a hard bargain.”

“Very hard ,” Caleb rasps, thrusting into my touch again.

His dick pulses as if to drive home the pun, and I want to think that I roll my eyes because it’s so corny—but in reality, it’s probably because that orgasm I just teased them with is a lot closer than I thought. If they don’t fuck me soon, I’m going to fall over the edge again, with or without their cocks.

But I’d really rather it be with .

“Get inside me,” I demand. “Now.”

“Ooh, our pretty Omega is bossy on her birthday.” Ethan bites down on my nipple, making me moan.

“We’ve got you, sweetheart,” Caleb promises.

His fingers disappear from my ass, but before I even have time to whine out my disappointment, he and Ethan are moving. Ethan withdraws his hand from my sleep pants, then tugs the pants and my panties down my legs. The covers are thrown off, and my top disappears so fast that I can’t even track where it goes.

The two of them are naked in front of me a second later, and Ethan’s green eyes gleam as he tells me, “Hands and knees. Show Caleb that pretty ass you want him to fuck so much.”

I obey in a heartbeat, my thighs wet with slick and my heart thundering. I’m so close to another orgasm that even the friction from moving to get into position almost sets me off, and when Caleb grips my hips and slides into my pussy, I drop my head between my arms, too overwhelmed to hold it up.

He coats his cock in my wetness, getting himself perfectly slick, and then withdraws. The next thing I feel is the slight pressure as he starts to work his way inside my ass.

“There you go. Taking him so well,” Ethan croons.

He slides into place beneath me, and Caleb helps support me so that I can adjust my position until I’m straddling his pack mate.

Ethan guides his cock to my entrance, and the two of them work together as they situate themselves inside me, thrusting in small pulses until I’m completely filled by them.

My arms are shaking with the effort of holding myself up, my entire body shaking with the effort of holding back my climax—and when Caleb whispers, “You can let go now, sweetheart,” I do.

The rush of pleasure feels even better with my men connected to me, inside me, and I scream both of their names as I come hard. The sound finally gets swallowed up as I drop my head to kiss Ethan, needing his lips on mine as an anchor to survive the intensity of it all. He kisses me back like he wants to devour me, holding my hips steady as he and Caleb thrust in counterpoint to each other, fucking into me as they chase their own release.

Caleb comes first, his hips jerking as he unloads inside me. He doesn’t knot me this time, though, and I have a feeling it’s because of what Ethan said about the other two Alphas not wanting to miss out on celebrating my birthday with me.

Ethan finishes less than a minute later, his fingers digging into my hips as he grinds against me, pumping me full of his cum. He doesn’t knot either, and even though the Omega inside me craves it, I can’t deny that the feeling of these two men buried inside me is pretty damn perfect just like this.

“So…” Ethan moves his hands from my hips to my face, cupping my jaw as we break our kiss. “How has your birthday been so far, gorgeous?”

I grin down at him, so wide that my cheeks ache. “So far? Best one ever.”

The two of them take their time cleaning me up, then we all get out of bed. I stand on wobbly legs, letting Ethan help me with an arm around my waist. A glint of pride enters his eyes as he watches me walk like a baby deer.

“You okay there?” he asks, lifting an eyebrow.

“I will be. Just give me a minute.”

He smirks at how hoarse my voice is. That’s what happens when you scream someone’s name at the height of passion. “Well, I can carry you if you need me too. We’ve got lots more plans for the day. The fun is just beginning.”

A little shiver of excitement runs up my spine. “I like the sound of that.”

The door to the bedroom opens as someone knocks softly, and Dante pokes his head in. His nostrils flare, and I know he can smell the scent of sex lingering in the air, because his eyes darken. He clears his throat, his gaze meeting mine.

“I’m glad you’re all up,” he says. “Come with me. It’s ready for you.”

“What’s ready?” I ask, narrowing my eyes. But the wariness is only feigned. I trust these men, and I know that whatever they’re doing, I’m going to like it.

“Throw on some clothes and find out.” Dante scans my body with appreciation in his eyes, then jerks his chin to one side. “Meet us in the library.”

Okay, then .

Ethan, Caleb and I get dressed, and then they lead me down to the library, where Garrett and Dante are eagerly whispering to each other while they set up something on the table. They stop when I enter and grin at me, gesturing to the table.

It looks like a small model of a building. Huh.

I come closer, peering down at it. It’s a lovely rendering, and the building looks very well-constructed. But… “I don’t understand. What is this?”

It’s not a house, or a skyscraper. I can’t tell what it’s supposed to be for.

All four Alphas beam at me with excitement. “It’s a scale model of an animal shelter that we’re building for you.”

My jaw drops open.

I stare from one to the other. “Are you… you’re serious?”

Of course they’re serious. I know that. They wouldn’t lie to me about something this important. It wouldn’t be a very funny or kind joke. But I find myself asking anyway.

“I asked the others if they thought it would be a good idea,” Garrett tells me. “After our conversation. You’d said how difficult it can be to get the funding to run an animal shelter properly.”

“And one thing we definitely have is funding,” Ethan points out.

“We felt it would be best to build you a whole new building from the ground up,” Dante explains. “So that we make sure it has all the room and facilities you’ll need.”

“It’s still under construction,” Caleb adds, “but we have all the plans finished and we wanted to show you what it’ll look like.”

Tears spring into my eyes. I’m overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness and generosity. I can honestly hardly believe what I’m hearing.

I’m going to be able to open and run my own animal shelter, a dream that I thought might not actually ever happen.

My mates did this for me.

I throw myself at them, kissing each one of them in turn, babbling out my thanks. I’m crying a little, but they don’t laugh at me. They just hug me tightly.

Every time I feel like I’ve learned just how much my mates care about me, and how far they’ll go for me, I’m proven wrong. They go above and beyond.

I’m more certain than ever that these are the men I love. The men I want to be with.

They’re making all my dreams come true.
