It’s enough to carry her over. Her body rising off the bed and freezing for one ever-lasting moment, before she crashes straight back down into ecstasy, a deep blush rushing across her flesh before she bucks and jolts with wave after wave of pleasure.

“Fuck, you’re milking my cock, Sweetness. I’m going to—” Levi grunts long and hard and his hole squeezes around my cock, so hard my own orgasm hits me fast and furious. My vision whites as pleasure courses through my veins, straight to the tips of my toes. I pull out of him, my come spurting in ribbons on the floor. I stride to the side of the bed, telling the omega to open her mouth and feeding her every last drop as I squeeze my knot.

“You didn’t knot him.” She licks her lips clean, looking up at me, as Levi collapses over her, showering her body in appreciative kisses.

“He’s an alpha, little Plaything. Not built for the knot like you are.”

She smiles with pride at that and I bend down to kiss her, letting her pull me onto the bed. Soon the three of us are snuggled up together, my packmate knotted to the omega.

I want to talk to them both. To tell them that was the most incredible moment of my life. To express how much I love my packmate. To explain that I’m falling in love with the omega. To convince her to be our pack omega.

But I’m exhausted, physically and emotionally spent, and the sound of my packmate’s soft purrs has me falling into sleep with my arms wrapped around them both.

The morning light ripples across the swimming pool as I sit hunched over my knees watching. The warm breeze rustles dust around my ankles and there’s the hiss of insects from the brush.

Feeling an outsider isn’t new. I’ve spent more Christmases than I care to remember with other people’s families. Tagged along on other people’s vacations. Been the only kid without a parent cheering on from the side lines.

I’ve never belonged anywhere. Not until I joined the Crestmore Rugby team and found my pack. Finally owning my place shoved aside those feelings.

It seems it was only temporary. Because here I am back nursing them.

I squint up at the sky, turning bluer by the minute, watching as a lone aeroplane cuts a path across the expanse.

I’m trying to be patient here, to wait for my invitation. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult. This feeling mixed with the irritation in my skin, the tingle in my gland have me right on the edge.

I don’t know how long I can stand this. I’ve waited patiently before. For my invitation to join the game, the meal, the hug, the fun. It was always excruciating. But to be excluded from the pack? My pack? It’s worse than anything that came before. It’s as if I can sense the small lines of fissure forming in my already bruised heart.

There’s only so much rejection one man can take.

The villa door clicks open and the slap of flip flops on the flagstones have me looking up into Jake’s face.

“What you doing, mate?”

I shrug. What can I say? Waiting? Sulking? Falling apart?

“Giorgie needs water.”

“Right.” I stare back out at the pool. A bug’s fallen into the water and it struggles on the surface, driving round in circles as it flaps its wings.

“Are you going to fetch her some then?”

I snap my gaze to him. “She wants me to get her some?”

He grins at me and nods.

“Shit, this girl.”

He drops down on a lounger next to me.

“I didn’t really believe it could ever be this way.” He lowers his voice, leaning in to whisper in my ear. “Levi and Dylan just rutted her together.”

I stare at him in disbelief and he pats me on my shoulder.

“Go on, go get her that water. She’s making mutterings about you avoiding her.”
