Page 76 of Love Me Knot, Part One (Knotty Omegas #1)

DAPHNE

Dez keeps his fingers buried in my pussy the whole way home. Whenever I’m close to coming, he pulls back. Normally, I love his games, but I’ve been patient enough. If this man doesn’t give me an orgasm, I’m going to scream.

By the time we pull into the duplex, I’m covered in sweat and shaking. My whimper fills the silence of the car for all of a second before my door’s ripped open and I’m in my alpha’s arms.

“I know, baby.”

“The food,” I gasp as he rushes me toward my place. Because that’s apparently very important to my lust-addled brain.

“I don’t give a fuck.”

Struggling to unlock the door, Dez grinds me over his tented shorts, giving me hints of what I’m dying for but not enough. I wonder if it will ever be enough with these men.

The knob gives and we stumble into the house, my greedy hands pulling at his shirt until he finally rips it off.

I caress the curves of the tattoo on his chest. Morgan.

Another matching design with the others.

The way they love each other, the support they offer, it’s incredible.

More than I ever thought I deserved, yet they’ve given it to me without question.

Like it’s as easy as breathing to bring me into their warmth. Their family.

“Love it when you touch me. Do it again.” Dez shivers under my hands, kicking kicks the door shut.

With the outside world cut off, everything heightens. The feel of his skin on mine as I strip out of my top, his heavy scent mixing with my perfume as we kiss and grope and grind together. The weight of him between my legs, so close to where I need him and so fucking far away.

“Nest,” he pants, holding me as he traverses the stairs. “Need you in the nest.”

Same. This man has to come in my sanctuary, scent threading through my sheets.

As soon as we’re in my room, Dez pulls away, eyes wide with wonder and reverence. This alpha gives my space the same respect usually reserved for holy, hallowed spaces.

“You like it?” I already know this answer, but I want to hear him say it. The final alpha to see has to tell me it’s good. It’s a law or something. A primal urge.

Dez has to swallow twice before he can respond, and it’s still a hoarse whisper. “Your nest is perfect, omega.”

I kiss him then. Slow, sensual, and full of everything I’m not ready to say. I adore you. I want to spend every day with you.

I’m falling for you.

Everything I offer, he gives back. I see you. You’re amazing. I’m so lucky to have you.

He sets me on the edge of the bed, dropping to his knees. Big hands slip beneath my waistband and then he’s stripping me down, licking a long stripe through my pussy as soon as he can.

“Missed tasting you, little muse.” His voice rumbles against me and I could come like this if he keeps it up. “Into bed, now.”

I clamber onto the mattress, not even thinking about giving him a show. There is nothing but my greedy, unchecked need to have him. Yet I must go too slow, because Dez picks me up and tosses me into the center.

As my body shakes the bed, the lump of blankets closest to the door stirs and Nate stretches, blankets sliding off like they’re revealing him for my pleasure alone. It’s quite the show.

The man’s always cute, but when he looks all rumpled and sleepy and mine, I can’t resist him. He knows it too, that fucking smirk getting deeper as I stare. “Hey, kitten.”

“Hey. Brought a friend tonight. That okay?”

“It’s your nest.” He grabs for my waist, ready to wrap me in an alpha burrito like usual, but Dez’s low growl pulls him up short.

We both twist toward the end of the bed where he’s staring at me spread out on my sheets as if I’m his dream come true. His pupils are blown when he gives Nate a challenging look. One that screams, try to take her from me. I dare you.

“Mine.”

Oh, shit. I didn’t realize he was so close to rut. Maybe this was a bad idea.

There’s a tense moment where I wonder if these men are about to come to blows before my biggest alpha smiles. “Can I watch or do I have to leave?”

“Stay,” I say immediately. The nest is mine, but it’s Nate’s too. He’s been here every night, bringing me such comfort and peace when I needed it most. It wouldn’t feel right to kick him out.

He softens, brushing a thumb over my skin where Dez can’t quite see. “Don’t worry, kitten. I wouldn’t go far.”

But instinct is screaming. Turning to Dez, I beg. “Please don’t kick him out. I need you both”

He watches me for the longest time, expression laced with predatory intensity. Eventually, he shudders, and a little more awareness leaks back into him. He turns to Nate, hands clenched at his sides.

“Don’t touch,” he grits out.

Nate shrugs, moving so he’s seated against the headboard into nothing but his boxers. “Fine by me, but you and Connor need to learn to share.”

Agreed. They did well during the heat, but I’d prefer group sex not happen only when I’m out of my fucking mind.

“Another time.” Dez shoves his shorts to the ground, giving me this deadly smirk as he palms his cock. “Tonight, I have a promise to fulfill.”

Perfume explodes around us when he stalks up the bed, strong hands moving me until I’m on my belly, prone beneath him. My cheek hits the mattress, thighs closed as Dez grinds against my ass.

“Pillow.”

Nate tosses one, careful not to get too close. When it’s wedged beneath my hips, propping them up at just the right height, both alphas groan.

Dez runs his hand over my exposed pussy. “You’re so wet for me, little muse. Utterly soaked. You ready?”

“God, yes.”

This time, he doesn’t tease me. He wets his dick with slick before sliding slowly inside me. From this angle, it’s almost too much of him. My body’s tight, his cock too wide, but he works himself in with sure, even strokes until his hips press against my ass, draping himself along my back.

“Fuck, you’re perfect.” He grunts, thrusting just a little. He’s so deep that it feels unreal to have him like this.

Our fingers lace together, and I twist to meet his mouth. The ultimate connection in this perfect moment. “Show me how much you’ve missed me.”

I think it’ll be a slow, sweet build-up. That Dez will be too focused on holding his control to want to do more. I couldn’t be more wrong.

He fists my hair, twisting so I’m facing Nate, then holds me there. “Let him see you, little muse. Let your alpha see how well I take care of our omega. Look in his eyes while you scream my fucking name.”

Dez plunges into me, harder, faster, as if he never wants to leave. He touches me, holds me, loves me with his body like I’m his only home. His reason for existence. He pulls sounds from my throat I’ve never heard, pleasure from my soul that feels timeless. Eternal.

And he doesn’t fucking stop.

With a low snarl that sends shivers over my skin, he hauls me up so I’m practically sitting on his lap, knees outside his own, rutting me from below with an intensity that takes my breath away.

Or maybe it’s the constant rumbling growl shaking my body like my own personal vibrator.

I don’t know and I’m not sure I care, especially when he’s so deep his knot teases me with every thrust.

Suddenly, Nate’s eyes fly wide, and he rushes us, swearing. I have the faintest impression of teeth on my neck before Dez is shoved away.

“No!” I cry out at the loss of him, reaching for my missing alpha, but Nate plants me behind him.

“Stay.” I claw at his arms until he locks my hands at my sides, making sure he can keep an eye on Dez and I at the same time. “Daphne, he’s fucking feral right now. Unless you’re ready for a bite tonight, do what I say.”

For a moment, I genuinely consider it, but that’s all he needs. He cradles my cheek gently. “If you have to think, you’re not ready, kitten.”

We’re interrupted by a bone shaking growl and then Nate’s gone, snatched away by Dez’s grip on his ankle. “Give me my omega.”

“Not until you calm the fuck down,” Nate snaps.

Dez’s muscles tense, body primed and ready to claim. “I need her.”

“We all do, but you can’t bite her yet.” Nate points at me, like he knows I’m going to whine before I do. “I said yet , not never.”

That tension blooms until Nate whispers something and my snarling, angry alpha disappears, leaving only Dez and the almost catastrophe in my nest behind.

“What do I do? I need to touch her.” Every word seems to hurt him, and it kills me.

Nate rolls his eyes. “So, knot her. That’ll take the edge off.”

“I can’t.”

“Can’t or won’t?”

“Both.”

Nate’s brows crease in confusion. “Is it because you did it earlier? Because I’ve knotted Daphne more than once in the same night and it didn’t hurt her.”

This should probably mortify me, but I’m deeply satisfied watching my alphas work together.

Dez grinds his teeth, still looking a little too feral for conversation. “I didn’t knot her earlier.”

“Then, when?”

“The night before we left Revelry.”

All the air leaves Nate’s lungs. “Wait, are you saying you haven’t knotted Daphne since the heat?”

Dez looks away, shame curling his shoulders. “We had a…situation.”

Embarrassment floods through me, if only because I didn’t realize he was still upset. I assumed he didn’t knot me because we didn’t have time with Mama B interrupting. I didn’t realize he was still struggling.

Nate takes one look at my grimace and laughs his ass off. “Did someone get too impatient?”

“Shut up. I was in heat.” I palm his face, even though I have to lean over the bed to do it.

“Yes, you were.” He nuzzles into my touch before turning to his packmate. “You know she can take it, right?”

“I don’t want to hurt her again.”

Fuck me sideways. The ache in his voice, the anguish. It killed him to hurt me the first time, and he’d rather go without than ever do it again.

Sweet, foolish alpha.

Nate shoots me the most serious look I’ve ever seen him wear. “Tell me what happened.”

Shrinking under their gaze, I mumble, “I may or may not have shoved myself onto his knot.”

“Without coming or letting me prep her,” Dez interjects.
