Rumor

I’d been hot and bothered all day, feeling unaccountably uncomfortable in my own skin, and Wilder came in to find me in the kitchen gulping ice water. I’d just changed my panties again, slicking like nobody’s business, but I was also feeling guilty.

Wilder…was the last one. Not deliberately. My wolf hadn’t even picked Penn for the last one; he’d just come into the kitchen at the right time. And Wilder? No matter how kind he was or understanding, I didn’t want him to feel like I cared about him any less than the other two.

“Hi.” I set the glass down and prepared to address the issue on my mind. “Wilder, I’m glad you came in. I know we haven’t, that is the others…”

He smiled and shook his head. “When you’re ready it will be soon enough. But your scent is strong, and I think your heat will be upon you soon.”

And I didn’t want to wait until that time to make love to him.

“Take your time, but have that in mind, okay?” He pressed a kiss to my cheek and grabbed a can of soda from the refrigerator. “See you later.” And he was gone.

He could often be found in the media room at the back of the house reading or playing video games, and often with a snack at hand.

Our nerdy guy was a little big tubby, and a little shy about his body. While the other two often wore only jeans or shorts in the house or gardens, Wilder chose to wear a shirt, but I didn’t find him any less appealing for his big of a belly. He had more of a dad bod, but I secretly loved that about him. Substantial. Protective. And he was the best hugger of all.

I followed the sounds of crashing cars and shrieking females into the media room where, sure enough, my mate was playing the newest game. He’d been waiting for this version for over ten years and had just gotten the download last night.

But I’d forgotten about that—somewhat distracted by a whole different kind of gaming the night before in Penn’s bed. Look at me getting all sassy about making love with my pack. But I remembered as soon as I stepped inside. I couldn’t ask him to stop doing something he’d waited so long for, so I turned quietly to leave.

“Omega?” His voice carried over the screeching of tires. “Did you want something?”

“Oh no, just gonna say hi.” Liar. “Go back to what you were doing before someone…runs you over?”

The sounds cut off, and he pushed his gaming chair back from the desk. “Happens every few minutes. It’s less painful than it sounds. Want to try?” He patted his thighs. “Come sit down, and I’ll show you how it works.”

“Oh, I don’t know.” I balked. “I’ve never played, and I’ll just mess up your scores or however it works.”

“Baby, you really do need a lesson. Come on and try.”

It wasn’t what I had in mind, but he had no way of knowing that. “It’s your funeral.” I approached and eased onto his legs. “Complete amateur here.”

He gave me a controller and showed me how it worked, and I died in the game over and over until finally he was laughing so hard, I nearly slid off his legs.

“You’re enjoying my incompetence way too much,” I groused. “I have half a mind to practice and get good enough to beat you.”

“Would you?” His voice was soft, and I turned to see his expression soften. “Would you really practice and play with me?”

“I’d like that.” I leaned back against him. “But for now, I think I’ve done enough damage. I’d better go do something useful.”

“Like what?” He lifted me and turned me to face him. “I think this is pretty useful. Seriously, you didn’t just come in here to say hi, did you?”

My cheeks heated as I remembered what I’d had in mind when I arrived. “Not exactly, no.”

“Then? What did you need? Want something built?”

Leaning in to him, I whispered, “Not exactly. I was going to seduce you.”

The look he gave me had me blushing harder but also unsure if I should be insulted. “You wanted to…really?”

“Yeah, is that okay?”

“Omega.” He kissed my forehead and grasped the hem of my T-shirt. “That’s more than okay.”

“Wait, shouldn’t we go somewhere more private?” I wasn’t quite ready to have one of them see me doing things with another, I didn’t think.

“Penn and Vargas are cutting up a downed tree at the far side of the property. They’re gone at least until lunch, so if you don’t object to making love in the flickering light of my game, I don’t want to waste another minute.”

His kiss was coaxing and sweet, at first, but then deeper, searching, and he only broke it to pull my T-shirt over my head. I hadn’t even put on a bra this morning, so as soon as the shirt was gone, my breasts, nipples peaked from exposure to the cool air-conditioning or maybe something else, were in his hands.

“Rumor, you’re shaking.”

“Am I?”

I leaned back in his hold and his lips descended to take possession of my breasts, sucking and licking, biting just hard enough to draw a mewl from me. Then he lifted me and pushed his screens aside to lay me on the desk and work my pants off. My breathing was harsh, my heart pounding in my chest. The sounds of his game were a cacophonous musical backdrop to everything going on in real life.

Wilder kissed my thighs and my belly then planted one right between my legs before standing up in front of me. If the others had been well endowed, this gaming builder had been gifted by the Goddess.

And no matter how slick I was, I feared I might not be able to accommodate all of him.

“You’re so beautiful,” he said, pinching a nipple between his finger and thumb. “And so responsive.”

I whimpered, having no ability to make words happen right now. His attention to my aching breasts, the broad head of his swollen cock working its way between my folds, and the light flickering all around us absorbed me. I’d never have said a video game was romantic music, especially this kind with all the tire and engine sounds, but it all blended together into an erotic blur, and I forgot about my fear of his fitting because he did.

Gradually, stretching me, my slick making it possible, this man who was a little less confident about his body used it to bring me to powerful orgasms, one after another, as I screamed out his name. My legs wrapped around his hips, and I reached above me to grab the edge of the desk while he drove into me with such power, it stole my breath.

I was close to passing out when he finally reached his apex and filled me with first his cum then this knot, and I came yet again.

Wilder eased me back onto his lap, still connected to me by his knot, and we cuddled together while people in a video game city careened around corners and bounced off walls. Or whatever they were doing. He liked it, and I was going to learn to play too. Anything I could do with one of my mates was great.

We were still there when the other guys came back to make lunch, but by then, we were playing again.

The twists and turns of life with my mates was never going to bore me.
