Lulu

“You cold?” Ally murmurs in my ear.

“A little.” I tilt my head back to look up at her. “But I don’t want to move.”

After the hike, we went back to the bus and found a place to camp for the night. The guys grilled burgers while Ally and I explored nearby, making sure to stay close so the guys didn’t go all Alpha on us. We both admitted to one another that we secretly loved it.

It might have only been forty-eight hours since Ally came back into my life and I found Liam, but everything feels so right, like we’ve been this way for years, not days.

I’ve spent so many years worrying about how things would be once I saw Ally again, and while I’ve wished and hoped things would end up like this, I never actually expected them to. I’m glad I was proven wrong.

“Angel, Precious, can you two come in for the night, please? It’s cold, and we have no idea what kind of wildlife is around here,” Liam asks from the doorway of the bus.

“Wanna head in for the night?” Ally asks, looking down at me.

“Can we talk and cuddle?”

She smiles. “I was planning on it.”

I smile back with a nod.

“I got this,” Gavin says, getting up from his seat.

“Thanks, baby.” I smile up at him,

He leans down, pressing a kiss to my lips. “Anything for my Little Omega.”

I bite my lip, swooning over my sexy Alpha.

He’s been so amazing with all of this. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have his support.

He’s been checking in on me throughout the day, making sure I’m not overwhelmed, and even though I keep telling him I’m more than fine with Ally and Brady being mates, he still makes sure to check in, and I love him for that.

We continue to sit there while Gavin works on putting the fire out. Nate is off somewhere, talking up a storm on his phone–something to do with work, and Ally said not to worry, so I won’t.

Guess this is a common thing for him. Can’t be easy managing a world-famous pop-rock band.

Yes, I’m Maya’s manager, and while it does have its challenges, it’s mostly when she has new releases that I'm working the hardest. I mostly just spend a few hours every Monday making content to post throughout the week and handling any meetings she might have.

And seeing how she still stays behind the scenes for the most part, it’s not many.

I called and talked to Maya for a little while on our way down here, making sure she was okay with me doing this and with me leaving for a few months.

She reassured me that she was more than happy for me and this new beginning.

She said she’s still planning on slowing down to just enjoy being pregnant.

And then taking a few years off to just enjoy being a new mom.

She plans on still writing, but only in her free time. Her baby and pack come first.

I love that girl so damn much. I can’t wait to be the kick ass auntie.

Thankfully, I should be back before the baby is born. I’d hate myself if I missed the birth of my goddaughter.

“Alright,” Liam grumbles, storming over to us.

“Hey!” I protest as he scoops me out of Ally’s lap. “I was enjoying snuggles.”

“You're freezing.” Liam glares down at me. “Don’t argue with me.”

I huff out a breath. “You're barking up the wrong tree if that's what you're expecting.”

“True,” Brady chuckles before bending down and lifting Ally into his arms.

“Well, hello,” Ally purrs at our Alpha. “Thanks for the ride, big guy.” She winks, and I can’t help but smile.

“Be a good girl and don’t fight me,” Liam murmurs, and my eyes snap over to his.

“What if I don’t want to be a good girl?” I whisper, slick building between my legs.

He leans in to whisper in my ear. “Bad girls get spankings.”

My eyes flutter closed as I breathe in his scent, making the fire inside me burn brighter. “Doesn’t sound like a bad time to me.”

“And they don’t get to cum,” he says with a cocky tone.

My eyes snap open. “You’re mean.”

“Hey,” he chuckles. “Just be a good girl and you will be rewarded.”

“Back off,” Ally scolds him from Brady’s arms. “She’s my Omega tonight.”

“I’ll fight you for her,” Liam responds playfully.

“A fight you will lose, good sir.” Ally grins.

“Yeah, how so?” Liam asks.

“I have my ways.” She winks before wrapping her arms around Brady’s neck. “Carry me to my chambers, good sir. I need to snuggle with my queen.”

“Whatever you want, Sweetheart,” Brady agrees with a chuckle.

Is it possible for my heart to explode from so much happiness? Because it’s getting pretty damn close.

As Brady passes me, he leans down to kiss me. “Don’t you even dare think about being a good girl,” Brady growls. “Give this one hell.”

“Oh, I like his idea,” Ally giggles.

“What the hell, man?” Liam huffs. “Fine then. You can handle Ally next time she goes off script.”

“It’s okay.” Ally pats Brady’s cheek. “I promise it’s always an adventure.”

“Off script?" Brady asks, brows furrowing in confusion.

“When I decide to say fuck the schedule and do my own thing. Honestly, anything could happen. I could end up riding a mechanical bull in some dive bar off the highway or tucked away in the corner of some small diner, eating my heart out.”

“One time, she took off and went skydiving,” Nate cuts in, joining us with a chuckle. “You should have seen how red Liam’s face turned. Reminded me of a tomato.”

“Nah, more like a lobster,” Ally adds in.

I’m grinning, loving every second of their banter. And knowing this is my new normal? I’m so damn excited to see what's to come.

“I’m sending you the bill,” Liam grumbles as he turns around to carry me into the bus, a smile still firmly on my face, highly amused.

“For what?” Ally shouts.

“My therapy. I’m going to need it to be able to deal with your bratty ass.”

“Yeah, well, at least you get to tap this bratty ass now, not keep gawking at it like some perv.”

Liam scowls. “I’m not a perv,” he says, looking down at me.

“It’s okay. I’ve perved on her ass a few times today.” I pat his cheek. “Have you seen how it looks in those leggings? My teeth ache to bite down on that round ass.”

His lips twitch. “You're just as bad as she is, aren't you?”

I shrug. “Depends on the time of day.”

He lets out a heavy sigh, placing me on my feet. “Good to know.”

Brady brings Ally, with Nate and Gavin following behind them.

“We’re leaving first thing in the morning. Get some sleep. We have a long day tomorrow,” Nate says.

“What’s on the schedule?” Ally asks.

“After we check into the hotel, you have a photo shoot with the band at the Bellagio.”

“Is that where we are staying?” she asks.

“No,” Nate says. “I booked you and the pack the penthouse suite at the Skylofts at MGM Grand.”

“Nice.” Ally grins.

“I have no idea what any of that means,” I lean in, whispering to Gavin.

“Neither do I,” he whispers back, chuckling.

“Guess we’ll find out together.”

“Can’t wait.” He grins down at me and kisses me. “Go get some sleep.”

“Not sure if I’m going to be able to.” I nod towards Ally, who’s still talking to Nate. “Have you seen that woman?”

“I have.” He gives me an amused smile. “Stunning. But I only have eyes for one woman.” He winks. “She’s all yours.”

“More for me.” I grin back, and he laughs.

“Ready?” Ally asks.

“Yeah,” I say, suddenly feeling shy.

I’m different around her, and I know my guys have noticed. I can’t help it. Ally gives off this dominant energy. It’s like I’m less blunt and speak what's on my mind, but I’m more playful, wanting to please her.

Ally always gave off future Alpha vibes. And she hasn’t really lost that.

It’s easy for me to submit to her. A lot like I did earlier tonight.

My body is still tingling at the memory. I’ve never come from only grinding against someone's thigh.

It was dirty, reckless, and I loved every moment of it. It feels freeing, making me feel alive. Ally just makes me want to live.

Grabbing one of my bags with my essentials off my bunk, which I’ll be making into a makeshift nest soon, I bring it into Ally’s room.

This place is big for what you would expect a bus to have.

She has a queen-size bed, covered in blankets and pillows. A lot of storage, and even her own bathroom.

“I made space for you.” She opens one of the closet doors. “You can put your things in here.” She points to the drawers next to it. “And some space for your clothes.”

“You really didn’t have to do that,” I insist, taking my shoes off at the door.

“Yes, I did. This is your room too. Let me know if you want anything changed as well.”

“That’s where I draw the line.” I raise a brow. “This is also your nest. I’m not changing shit.”

Her lips lift in a smile.

“What?” I ask, hugging my bag to my chest.

“It’s weird to hear you swear. I’m not used to it.”

“Oh.” I blink.

“I love it. It’s so fucking hot,” she laughs. “Remember when I used to try to get you to swear?”

“Yeah.” I laugh as the memory comes filtering back when Ally asked, “Hey Lulu, what does it spell if you take the t out of tuck and replace it with an f?”

She laughs, bright and sunshiny. “Listen. Teenage Ally thought she was being sneaky as fuck,” she replies, grabbing the hem of her shirt and pulling it off over her head.

I watch, unable to look away, as she changes into her sleep clothes. I get a glance of her breasts. They’re big and full. My hands twitch to cup them, to play with her perky pink nipples.

“And it almost worked a few times,” she reminds me, snapping me out of my gawking. “But the closest I got you to say was shit, damn, or piss. Took a long time to get you to swear. And even then, it was rare.”

“Well, you should be happy to know I swear like a sailor now.”

“Mmmm,” she hums, getting into bed. “Does that go for in the bedroom too?” she asks, raising a playful brow.

My cheeks heat. “Yes,” I admit. “That’s probably when I swear the most.” I clear my throat, looking away from her as I pull things from my bag. “Turns out, sex is when I become a bit of a... let’s just say I don’t hold back.”

“Really?” She sounds excited about it.

I shrug my shoulders. “I let loose, and don’t think.”
