Page 53 of Knot Her Cowboys (Big Sky Omegas #2)

W e rushed through the few errands we needed to complete before Riley’s heat, and a good thing too. By the time we were driving back to the ranch, she was already sweating, her fingers digging into the seat below her, and her scent sweetening exponentially.

With the windows rolled down I was able to keep some semblance of control.

Cash was a different story with the bond connecting them.

When I slowed at a railway crossing, he pitched himself over the front seat and undid Riley’s seat belt to drag her into the back with him.

Her moans of pleasure quickly followed, making concentrating on driving that much more difficult.

I drove slower than I wanted to for her safety. If she were properly belted in, I’d have taken those roads with at least a hint of reckless abandon to make sure she got home to be tended before her heat started to get painful.

The staff had put up temporary privacy fencing to block the view of the big house from guests.

Bless them for being incredible. They were all used to working as a team, and even without our direction they knew how to handle things.

Now that we had an omega, it would be nice to know who took the lead and could continue to do so whenever we had to be off work for Riley’s heats.

I pulled to a stop and shoved the vehicle into park, and all of us not holding Riley burst out of the truck.

Cash was forced to surrender her after getting tangled in his own seat belt when he tried to climb out with her in his arms. I took the opportunity to have her latched on to me, putting Levi and Cooper in charge of opening doors on the way up to the omega suite.

Riley was so close to descending into the haze when I laid her out in her nest. Her mouth on mine was ravenous. She refused to let go of me, even if that meant we were both still fully clothed.

I did my best to wrestle out of my pants, but she whimpered, holding tighter.

“Don’t let go,” she pleaded.

“You’re not going to be content with cuddles in a few minutes,” I pointed out.

She was already breathing hard, and sweat dampened her temples, her skin a furnace where she was pressed to me.

“Bite me,” she whispered. “I love—I love you. I need it. Need you . Please. Bite.”

Desire and delight hit me like a brick. “I’ll give you anything you want, petal. I would imagine you want to get fucked along with that bite, though, right?”

She nodded frantically, digging her nails into my back and arching closer.

“I can’t give you my knot if you don’t let me strip.”

With a long, desperate whine, she managed to detach her grip and I moved like lightning. My clothes hit the floor while Cash and Cooper slid in to strip her down for me.

She had come into our lives nervous and terrified. Even without having felt that in the bond before, I knew she was lighter now. The shackles of her past had been tight around her throat, but they had fallen apart with Darrell’s death and Darlene’s arrest.

Now she could settle into being ours.

It was probably a good thing I hadn’t gotten to love her as long as Cooper and Cash had. If I’d lost her back then, the odds of me being able to help them at all were nonexistent. I’d have been just as hopeless as they were.

Riley’d slid into our lives with a bang. While I hoped the future with her was a little calmer for everyone’s sake, I couldn’t begrudge a single second of her path to becoming mine.

I could have contented myself with my own company and having my pack for companionship for the rest of my life. I’d accepted my pack for what it was, and I loved them.

But loving her changed things.

She was what we had been missing.

It was no wonder Cooper had never been able to let her go no matter how many years had spread between them. I would never let her go either.

Riley was our new center.

She knew it too, and she basked in the love we offered, greedily drinking it down to fuel the mending of her scars. If she was this bright with all the damage hanging off her shoulders, I could only imagine what a blazing light she would be in the years to come when she had more time feeling safe.

I was so grateful I’d get to be there to witness it.

Riley’s sweet whimpers drew me right back down and the lock of her ankles behind me drove me straight into her waiting cunt.

The plunge into her body broke what little of my control still remained.

Her hands locked in my hair, craning my neck so she could snap her teeth into my skin.

The surge of pleasure unraveled me instantly.

I’d wanted to take my time with her, but it seemed our girl was entirely too impatient, so we were kicking off her heat with a knot. With a few precious moments, I let myself enjoy the slick glide of her body, plunging into euphoria with each descent.

Her bite deepened and I couldn’t deny her any longer.

Buried to the hilt, I clutched her closer and gave in to my instincts.

Floral sweetness burst on my tongue and I whimpered against her feverish skin, utterly overwhelmed as the glowing star of Riley flared to life in my chest. She was a tangle of affection, desire, and fierce longing, with a hefty helping of anxiety that was being rapidly smothered by the rising heat.

Riley was too close for me to wedge my fingers between us and play with her clit. She needed more as she sank into her heat. I rolled us both over, knowing that even a knot and fresh bond wouldn’t content her for long. She squirmed all over me while Levi worked her ass open.

I could hardly think past the tsunami of Riley’s emotions.

She wanted us so badly, and not even because the heat was pushing her.

A sense of safety simmered deep in her, growing stronger as I cradled her, as Cooper and Cash took up their spots at our side, covering her skin with gentle touches and reverent kisses.

Unlatching my teeth from her was the last thing I wanted to do, but I couldn’t pour praise over her if I didn’t. I kept the taste of her on my tongue, lapping at the edges of my bondmark, and reveling in the warmth of her.

So sweet.

Riley groaned against my throat. Levi worked his way in, the beautiful omega in my arms whining and rocking her hips, begging for more.

I couldn’t give her more of me , but that was the beauty of the pack. An omega never had to go without when they were surrounded by alphas who adored them. Riley had no shortage of those.

“That’s our good girl, petal,” I cooed. “Open up for Levi so we can take care of you together.”

Her breath ghosted hot over my skin.

“Perfect omega,” I whispered. “Fuck, you feel so good.”

She let out a ragged sound, and the pressure from Levi filling her up had me shaking beneath her.

Everything about touching her was overwhelming in the best way.

Her pleasure swept through the bond, ricocheting back and forth between us in surges that took my breath away.

Thank the gods she had more than just me to tend her, because I was already drowning in every beautiful facet of her.

I snared her mouth with mine and cradled her neck, stroking my thumb along the column of her throat. “Ready, petal?”

She nodded frantically.

“Good girl. Hold on tight.”
