MADDOX

The whole house smells like lemon bars and mint, and I’ve never been more turned on in my life.

I tried to give Avery and Piper their space; I really did.

But my dick is going to fall off if I don’t get in there with them now.

Even Poe looks murderous. There’s a fire in his eyes I’ve never seen before.

“I’m the last fucking one,” I snarl, and he snaps his eyes up to me. I lean against the kitchen counter, gripping the edges and trying not to storm into the bedroom. “You’ve felt her, and I haven’t?—”

“She’ll call us when she’s ready,” Poe says simply, even as he clenches his jaw. We’ve both busied ourselves with preparations for her Heat, but there’s only so much to do.

Laundry is done, food is plentiful, and we’ve got enough bottles of ice water to fill a second fridge.

I stare longingly at the door to the nesting room, my control slipping.

“I can’t believe this is happening,” I admit.

I wanted this. I wanted to be there for Piper’s Heat, but I had no idea my wish would come true.

She asked for us.

She asked for me.

Poe nods. He’s at the opposite end of the counter, his Alpha scent permeating the room, the herby smell of catnip filling our home.

Mixed with the sweetness of Piper’s scent, the aroma is heady.

“Oh, what the hell,” he murmurs, and I turn to follow his gaze.

At the sliding glass door is a tabby cat, sitting on the patio and slow blinking at us.

Poe and his fucking catnip scent.

An orange cat walks up and sits next to the tabby, both staring intently at us.

“Dude,” I mutter, glaring at Poe. “Keep your cat friends out of this.”

His look is murderous, but he remains silent.

Thankfully, it’s only a few moments of an awkward staring contest before the cats become bored and venture off the patio.

And only a few moments after that until a sweet moan comes from the nesting room, followed by a muffled Maddox.

And that’s my fucking cue.

I forgot about Poe, Avery, about the cats.

All I sense is Omega.

When I enter the nesting room, I’m almost bowled over by the sight before me.

Piper and Avery are both wrapped up in nesting blankets, Avery spooning her and moving against her as she gasps. Her eyes are closed, and her lips are slightly parted in pleasure.

The scent in the room is heady and delicious, all Omega and mouthwatering.

“You called for me, baby?” I mutter, standing at the foot of the bed and watching my packmate pleasure her.

Her eyes open, and she turns to me with a brilliant smile on her face. “Touch me,” she begs. “I need to feel your knot, too.”

“You saved the best for last,” I purr, and Avery lets out a growl.

I ignore him and move to the opposite side of the bed, stripping out of my clothes while Piper watches.

Avery thrusts against her, and she moans loudly, her eyes trained on my cock.

I join her in the nest on the opposite side of Avery so she’s sandwiched between us.

Then, I lean on my side and kiss her, while Avery continues to move inside her.

“You’re so wet, Omega,” Avery murmurs. “So wet and tight. Do you want Maddox’s knot now?”

Piper pulls away from our kiss, her pupils blown with lust. “Yes,” she whispers.

“I can push his cum all the way into you,” I tell her, and she gasps.

“Fuck,” Avery hisses. “You’ll look so beautiful like that, baby.”

Avery looks at her like she’s his world, and I’m sure my expression matches his.

I want to give her the best Heat she’s ever had.

My Alpha instincts have taken over, and all my rational thoughts have disappeared.

My Rut is in full force, and all I can focus on is my Omega and the need to knot.

Avery must pull out of her, because she gasps as he moves away. Kicking a blanket off, she throws herself into my arms, my hard cock rubbing against her soft stomach.

She kisses me desperately, and I enjoy every second of it.

She tastes of lemon bars and mint. Like happiness and home.

Like I finally have a family.

“Mine,” I growl. “ Mine .”

Feral noises escape me, but I’m not ashamed.

This is all for Piper.

My Omega.

“Yours,” she pants. “ Yours .”

There’s a slight shuffling behind us, then the door closes.

Avery gives us space, and I’m grateful for my packmate and his understanding.

“You’re the most beautiful fucking thing I’ve ever seen,” I say, sucking at her neck, hard.

I want to leave my mark on her so everyone knows she’s taken.

So I can be sure no asshole ever hurts her again.

Her whimpers turn to shivers, and sweat beads on her brow. “Knot me, Alpha,” she begs. “I’m ready for you, Maddox.”

My head spins.

The best part about this?

She uses my name, not just Alpha .

She asks for me .

There are a million ways I want to knot her in the future.

But our first time will be simple.

I’ll just give her what she needs.

“You ready, Omega?” I ask, smirking. I roll us so I’m on top of her, and she looks up at me with wild eyes.

“Yes,” she hisses. “Fill me.”

I slam my cock into her with one quick motion, and she lets out a low groan.

I almost knot her right then, her silky cunt holding me in a vice-like grip.

Knowing she’s already stuffed full of my packmate’s cum makes me even more desperate to take her.

But she has to find her release first. She has to fall apart for me, and then I can give myself to her fully.

Her moans and cries are music to my ears as I fuck her wildly, slamming her into the blankets of her nest. Sweat clings to us both, and delicious wet sounds fill the room as skin slaps against skin.

“Let me feel you, baby,” I command. “Let me feel you squirt on my cock.”

Her moans grow louder, and her cries turn frantic. The entire room smells of nothing but sweet lemon bars and spicy mint.

A dangerous chant plays in my head.

Claim her, mate her, bite her.

I could extend my family right here.

Tie Piper to me permanently and empty my cum into her right as I sink my teeth into her mating gland, staining her soul with mine.

I could do it now .

Bite her.

I breathe her in deeply, her sweet scent concentrated at the delicate spot beneath her neck and shoulder.

BITE HER.

“ Come for me ,” I hiss. “ Now.”

Piper’s cunt walls flutter and clamp down on me, and I can’t hold back any longer.

I come with a roar, emptying myself into her as she lets out a scream of pleasure. Slowly, my cock swells, ropes of cum emptying into Piper until I’m locked inside her, my cock thick and inflated.

“That’s it,” I hiss, closing my eyes in bliss. I drown in Piper’s sweet scent while her pussy keeps me inside her, holding us in place.

Little whimpers escape her as her tight walls draw more cum from me, and my pleasure grows so blinding that I don’t know where I end and she begins.

Nothing has ever felt like this before. No Rut has ever been like this.

This is deeper than physical attraction—this is a fucking connection I feel in my soul.

We lie in her nest of blankets for what feels like hours, both of us breathing heavily.

Finally, I move us so we’re both on our sides with her back to my chest, keeping her as close as possible.

“I’ve got you,” I promise her, my chest rumbling with a deep purr. “I’ve got you, Piper. I’m not going anywhere.”

I nuzzle her, press kisses everywhere I can, and greedily inhale her Omega scent.

I hold her while she rests, watching her sleep until fatigue finally settles over me, too.

Eventually, I drift off, peaceful with the knowledge that all three of us have taken her.

She trusts me and my pack, and we don’t plan on letting her down.

Ever.
