C ash was a genius. He knew exactly what he was doing, bringing me out here. This deep in the wilds, I could forget all the shitty things for a while and bask in both the nostalgia and the current delights this pack offered me.

“I’ve never shared you before,” Cooper whispered in my ear.

“Good time to practice,” Cash replied with a grin. “’Cause our girl won’t be holding her heat off forever and I don’t want to play hot potato with her.”

I snorted, giggling against his skin, my brain conjuring the image of them forming me into a ball and tossing me to each person as someone got worn out. “I’m not opposed to one-on-one, but I won’t lie. A heat is more comfortable with additional participants.”

This wasn’t the first time I’d thought about this pack all over me, and it damn sure wasn’t going to be the last. My experience with them as individuals had been illuminating, but if we were going to be a proper pack, the lines of separation needed to blur until we were a unit.

I wanted to be as at ease with them as a collective as I was with them on their own, and figure out how we moved as a whole.

Sex wasn’t the largest factor in regards to if we’d work well together long-term, but it certainly didn’t hurt.

“Did we bring towels?”

“Yep, and rinsing water,” said Cash. “We thought of everything.”

“Does that mean you also thought of lube?”

“I can’t believe you would doubt me on something like that.”

The absolute sincerity in his voice made me laugh. “Were you hoping I would come out into the woods and want to get railed six ways to Sunday?”

“The intention was just for you to get some time to relax, but I didn’t want to be caught shorthanded if the mood turned.”

“I love a man who thinks ahead.” Turning to the others, I said much louder, “I also love a man who cozies up to me in cold water.”

Cooper was already plenty close, but he and Cash squeezed me between them while Dakota and Levi joined us. My purring triggered ripples on the water’s surface.

“It’s cute you still like being crushed into oblivion,” Cooper said, nuzzling the side of my head with his cheek.

“No room for anxiety when I’m being squished,” I replied, turning to steal a kiss.

Dakota popped out of the water to claim his own kiss, everyone adjusting slightly to accommodate when Levi joined as well. It was genuinely unfair for them to all be so pretty. Maybe the universe was blessing me with the sweetest alphas to make up for the rest of my life?

I sampled each one of their gorgeous mouths while I basked in their proximity. Even with the water dampening their scents, they were still heady and delicious to experience.

I had never been with four at once before. Two was doable, easy, in fact, but more than that required a little creativity. How could I tackle four lovers without anyone feeling left out? Would it be asking too much for them to figure it out themselves and simply allow myself to be overwhelmed?

“What’s going on in that head, petal?” Dakota asked.

“Logistics.”

Cash laughed.

“Let us worry about that part.” Levi traced his fingertips down my arm. “You worry about enough already.”

“Before we get down and dirty,” said Cash, eyeballing me with fire in his eyes, “I think you need to relax more so you’re resting because you’re chill and not just because we’ve turned off your brain.”

“And how do you propose we do that?”

“It’s a billion fucking degrees out and we’re in a cute-ass lake. We should take advantage of it. When was the last time you swam in a mountain lake?”

I didn’t even have to think about it. “The last time was with you.”

“Exactly. Enjoy yourself in nature before we take you to poundtown.”

I cackled and squeezed his cheeks in my hands. “You are ridiculous, and I love you so much for it.”

Cash grinned and covered his eyes. “Marco.”

With the game instantly triggered, all four of us leapt away and yelled back, “Polo!”

We splashed around for an hour, evading each other as we were captured and took the place of seeker. I was breathless with laughter each time someone caught me—they were definitely ganging up on me—and more than a little turned on when they scooped me out of the water and into their arms.

When I got tired, I floated on my back in the sunshine, Cooper tugging me around the shallows by my ankle like I was a little boat behind him.

We used to do something similar in the creeks, finding slow twirling currents and floating there, letting it spin us in circles through the afternoon.

Whenever one of us got swept away, we all joined the main current and glided down together until we could climb out on the banks.

Of course, that had been when Cooper’s mom was still around to let him have a proper childhood.

After she passed, we’d had to get a lot more strategic about time spent together to get him and Morgan off the ranch.

More often than not, I just helped them with chores so we could hang out and they would be done faster.

“Having fun back there?” Cooper asked.

“I am in bliss.” I swished my hands through the cool water, the sunlight keeping me warm enough with most of my body exposed to it. “Float me like this forever and I’ll never know what stress feels like again.”

“Sounds like we need to install a pool at the ranch,” said Cash.

“If you put in a lazy river, I would never leave it.”

“Honestly, I bet the guests would love that,” replied Levi as he did a leisurely backstroke at my side. ”Probably a bitch to keep clean, but I would definitely be on board.”

Cash popped out of the water, startling me as he planted a kiss on my cheek, my panic making me flail, my top half dipping under the water before he rescued me. “Sorry, sorry. Didn’t mean to spook you.”

He cradled me like I was a precious treasure. His kiss had me melting, and Cooper’s mouth ghosting over the curve of my shoulder had my core clenching.

It was a little ridiculous how hard my suppressants had to work around these alphas.

I wanted to go off them, but I’d already stolen so much of their time, and I’d have to take all of them off work for my heat.

I could wait until the busy season was over for that, but I wasn’t going to wait to experience them together.

I squirmed in Cash’s arms, a thrill shooting up my spine when Cooper’s hands swept over me beneath the water.

Gentle fingertips on my chin guided my face toward Dakota.

I hooked my elbow behind his neck, letting myself be devoured.

The first brush of a hand on my clit had me breaking away with a gasp.

Levi grinned at me. “Do you want to stay in the water, sweetheart, or should we take you to shore?”

“I feel like it might be safer for my bits to not fuck in a lake.”

“An excellent point.” He stole me from Cash, carrying me out of the water, my sweet blond alpha racing past us.

He poured warm water down my body before Levi set me on my feet. They rinsed the lake off themselves with the supplies they’d brought, and before I could get needy, Levi was down on the blanket with me. His mouth was delectable on mine, my toes curling as he settled between my thighs.

Cooper swept my damp hair from my shoulders, his lips leaving a trail of fire up my throat. I nearly leapt out of my skin when Cash sucked my nipple into his mouth. Okay, I could understand the logistics of three, but Dakota wasn’t touching me yet, and that was a problem.

I whined against Levi’s lips.

“Something I can help you with, sweetheart?”

“There are zero people inside me and I’d like to increase that number.”

His amused laugh rumbled against my chest. “Pretty sure that can be accommodated.”

“Dakota, get in heeere. I need everyone .”

“Where?”

I nudged Cooper and Cash away for the moment, pushing Levi back onto his knees so I could glide down on his cock with a slow moan. “Here,” I gasped.

Dakota didn’t need more prompting than that. The warmth of him at my back had goosebumps erupting across my skin. “Is this your extremely subtle way of asking me to fuck this gorgeous ass?”

I nodded frantically, already rocking my hips to get some friction from Levi. “Please.”

While Dakota worked some fortuitously remembered lube into my tight ring of muscle, Cash and Cooper went right back to work.

I alternated luxurious kisses between the mouths available to me, squirming desperately while Dakota opened me up.

Levi had a tight grip on my hips, his eyes squeezed shut while I wriggled in his lap like he was trying not to burst right that second.

“How are you this cute prepping to take a cock in your ass?” Cash asked.

My response of giggles melted into a moan as Dakota finally worked a second finger in. “Fuck faster,” I demanded.

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You won’t. Just slick up and I’ll be fine.”

He nipped my earlobe, whispering roughly, “Maybe I’d rather see you crumble for me, a mess of need and slick. Be a good girl for me and let me play with you how I like.”

I whined, trying to rock back against his fingers.

“We rushed in the truck, but this time you’re going to be patient. You can have everything you want on our timeline.”

“Come on, Riley. You know how to be a good girl.” Cooper stole my mouth, devouring me slowly.

Levi groaned at each spasm of my pussy around him. “You guys, I’m not going to make it if you keep talking to her like that.”

“That’s no incentive to stop.” Cash kissed my cheek. “Our beautiful, needy omega is going to take you over the edge with that perfect cunt and then someone else will get to knot her. That’s what you want, right? One alpha after the other until you’re filled to bursting?”

My pussy clenched hard, desire and nerves twisting in my core.

“Fuck,” Levi breathed.

“Answer the question, Riley,” Cooper demanded, the gravel in his tone making me melt.

“Yes, that’s what I want.”

“You heard the lady,” Cash announced. “Let’s give our girl everything she’s asking for.”
