Gideon

No sleep last night and waking up early this morning, forcing myself to go for a run, did not prepare me for this.

My omega, spread out like a feast before me, one my brothers were already digging into.

Maddox’s mouth popped free, treating me to the sight of Briar’s nipple, bright red and painfully swollen.

“Jace,” I barked.

“Oh, I am on it.”

He wedged himself between the front seats, leaning over and claiming it as his as Mads shoved the other cup of her bra up, then sucked the nipple in.

Which just left me standing there.

Need pulsed through me. My control over my wolf was like iron, but right now, a mutiny was being waged. Home, the alpha trials, family, everything was shoved aside in the face of this.

Our mate needed us.

But in what capacity? That’s what stopped me from lunging at Briar and kissing every inch of a body my heart thought of as mine. Instead, I very slowly, very purposefully bent down, resting my arms on the expanse of seat above her head.

“You need to come.” Briar nodded sharply, unable to reply as she caressed Maddox’s head. I begrudged every stroke, still able to feel her fingers in my hair. “And you need our cum to get you through this trip.”

Dress it up as expediency, my conscious mind sneered. That’s why you’re doing this.

“With all of our seed in your body, you should at least get a few hour’s break.”

“Yes. That.”

Her hands slid upwards. The feel of her claws raking across my skin had me shivering. I wanted to take those pretty little hands and kiss every single finger. She didn’t need tenderness from me, though, just relief. I pressed a kiss into her palm, assuaging that need before taking them in mine.

“Briar, each time we do this, there’s a risk you could get pregnant.”

Her eyes flashed silver.

“It’s not a problem,” she growled.

“Birth control is made for beta woman, not omegas.”

My mate pulled away from my brothers, forcing them to draw back as she went to her hands and knees. If she was a wolf, she’d be approaching me stiff-legged, her muzzle peeled back from her fangs. Now she just stared with eyes as silver as the moon.

“I don’t need a goddamn lecture.” Perfectly still, I stayed in place as her mouth hovered over mine.

“Not your concern. I can get that from my friends, my family.” Her breath was hot and minty as it fanned across my lips, filling my mouth with saliva, needing the taste of her.

“But you can give me something they can’t.

Are you gonna do that, Gideon? Or are you going to watch your brothers do it? ”

“Sounds like we’ve got our orders.”

Maddox pulled Briar backwards so her feet hit the forest floor, right before he peeled her shorts down.

A groan and a possessive sweep of his hands across her back had my fangs sinking into my bottom lip.

Jace climbed into the back, tugging his clothes off, his cock slapping against his bare stomach.

“I am gonna eat this pretty little pussy out.” Mads dropped down to his knees, and whatever he did, it had her gasping.

“And Jace here is gonna thrust his cock between the sweetest tits I’ve ever seen, and between us, we’re gonna make you come.

Him shooting all over your chest, me over your cunt, should help cool things down for a bit at least. What do you think, omega? ”

She answered him with a kiss. Lunging for Jace, claiming his mouth as hers, I watched them tangle tongues until his hands covered her breasts.

My brothers worked in time, forcing her head upwards.

Her eyes closed as rapture registered on her face.

Jace went to work, sucking one nipple then the other, his hand covering whichever one was left neglected, right as Maddox did exactly what he said.

The forest was filled with the sucking wet sound of him eating her pussy, leaving me aching.

Servicing an omega was described in simple, clinical terms. The dads had indicated we’d feel overwhelmed by the need to mate with her, but it hadn’t included this. I hurt in a way I’d never thought possible, an ache that would only be satisfied by Briar’s touch.

And maybe not even then.

How could I touch her just once, or only for this trip?

How the fuck was I supposed to let Briar go to the city without me?

I didn’t get any answers, my feet moving myself closer.

I climbed into the car, the backseat a cramped thing now, shoving my shorts down with one hand.

My whole body thrummed as I surrounded my knot, giving it an experimental squeeze.

An ooze of precum was swiped free and then I held my thumb out to her.

“Whatever I have to give is yours, Briar. If this will help…”

Take it, the wolf growled inside my head. Take me and ?—

All thought stopped as her eyes flicked open and then she thrust forward. Her cry of ecstasy was muffled as her lips went around my thumb. Soft, hot, pulsing, she sucked me clean, only for her mouth to pop free.

“More.” If I was the alpha, why was I subject to her rule? Because that’s how it worked. I could’ve resisted anyone and anything but her. “More, Gideon, I need?—”

Another squeeze and more precum was fed past her lips.

Watching her tongue flick out to get the last drop was mesmerising.

Briar soon got sick of this process, her hand shooting out.

I nearly came right then as her hand went around my shaft.

Scalding hot, my whole body shuddered. My mate was touching me.

That settled something in my heart, right as her tongue flicked out.

“Oh fuck!”

My hands slapped down on the interior of the car, trying to stabilise myself, but that was impossible, because the whole world was realigning to make my mate as its centre.

Fingers tested the swollen state of my knot, and then her tongue traced a fiery trail up my shaft.

I was breathing in sharp little pants, unable to fully inflate my lungs as she swallowed the head.

A thrust of my hips, I stilled them quickly, not wanting to test her gag reflex, but then she had to go and hum in satisfaction.

Those muffled sounds had every nerve ending singing as she began to rock back and forth.

“Fuck… yes,” Jace groaned. “Just like that, Briar. Fucking hell…”

I was amazed he had the wherewithal to string even two words together, because I was entirely robbed of my ability to speak. There were no words grand enough, no statements so expansive to encapsulate the way she made me feel. Like I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

Her moans got faster and so did her strokes and I felt her stiffen, knowing she’d come at least once.

Fighting the urge to follow her down, I recited numbers backwards, skipping by threes, wanting to string this out for as far as I could go.

What was happening now was so far beyond what I expected for the day and who knew if it would ever happen again.

Remember this, my heart told me. Remember every second of it.

Store every sight, every smell, every sensation away to bring up again when I watched my mate leave Moon River.

My hand went out as my eyes flicked open, stroking her cheek.

She looked up at me then, eyes hopelessly clouded with lust, and she had never looked so beautiful.

“Too close,” Maddox growled, pulling away to replace his mouth with his cock, and that hit like a splash of cold water to the face.

“Don’t knot her,” I snarled. “Do not fucking knot her.”

“As if I would.”

My brother looked disgusted that I could even accuse him of such an act, but he didn’t know.

If our places were swapped, I’m not sure if I could show his level of restraint.

Her desperate little muffled moans, they made me want to grab her hair and force her down on my length, in a vain attempt to claim every inch of her as mine.

“Let’s bring this to an end.” Jace sounded frantic. “Because it’s gonna happen sooner rather than later.” His hand moved restively. “You feel too fucking good, omega. So damn soft.”

“You can come for me, can’t you, Briar?” Maddox asked.

“You’re so close.” Her body stiffened and twitched, as if responding to his question.

“And again, sweetheart. You need so much more than this, but if you come again, I can give you exactly what you need to make this trip without it hurting you.”

She shuttled back and forth, pushing down on my cock, then pulling back to force Maddox’s fingers deeper.

We were racing like wolves do, paws striking the earth.

Her hand clamped down on my knot, forcing a spurt of cum out of me and, with a roar, I knew more was coming.

Her strangled cry, that’s what let me know it was time.

My hand cupped her chin and I forced her to stare into my eyes, right as I came down her throat.

Every hungry swallow, every pulse of her throat, I’d memorise them all, then a tear had to roll down her cheek. I followed its path, jerking free to smooth it away.

“Briar, are you alright? Briar?”

Her mouth went slack as she sucked in breaths, then she looked up with a lazy smile.

“I’m fine.” Her head hung down and Jace pulled her into a kiss. “More than fine.”

She said that to him, not me, which made sense.

They’d been the one to forge a connection with her, not me.

I pulled back, re-situating my leaking cock in my shorts, because it didn’t get it.

There was no bond being forged here, because it would only be broken.

This was a transaction we’d agreed to, and I’d made my first deposit.

“Mm…”

I looked down to see Briar riding the aftershocks as my brother rubbed his seed into her skin.

“That should give you at least a few hours of relief,” Jace told her. “Otherwise, we have bigger problems than keeping this potter happy.”

Clothes were put back on as the quiet of the forest bled back in.

As I looked around, part of me just wanted to take fur and run off into its depths.

Instead, I walked around to the driver’s seat and slid behind the wheel, turning the car back on as the others pulled Briar close.

I wanted to stroke her arms, hold her close.

She needed to be sandwiched between me and one of my brothers, but that wasn’t happening.

Instead, when they all got back into the car, I had an itinerary mapped out.

“There’s a truck stop an hour away,” I said. “We’ll stop and get some petrol and some food then.”

“Whatever you say.”

Maddox looked positively smug as our mate rested her head on his shoulder. Jace had his arm along the back seat, cradling her from the other side, and me? I was easing the car down the track and back onto the road.
