Jace

All the way up to the city, I’d imagined the ways I’d apologise for our bullshit.

One of the fantasies involved me getting down on my knees, but not like this.

My knees hitting Briar’s tiles, the hard, cold surface barely registering as I dragged her closer.

My tongue slid through her folds, the taste of her slick sweeter than honey.

One lick wasn’t enough, neither was two, forcing me to go back over and over for another taste.

“Yes…”

That sigh was everything I didn’t know I needed.

Her hand on my head was unneeded. The world could’ve opened up beneath us and I’d have kept on licking.

Instead, I picked her up, putting her thighs over my shoulders, and looked up for just a second to see my brothers moving in to stabilise her.

Their hands roamed, unable to stop from touching our mate.

She moved like a reed in the wind, swaying back and forth, and right now I needed to get her really shifting.

The world was remade into a landscape entirely formed from bright pink flesh.

It tasted of honey and the sea, and while I was rocking back and forth, my cock dripping with precum, I knew the geography.

There, that little nub, I lashed it with my tongue, and then when she started thrusting against my face, my lips closed around it.

Fingers slid inside her, no friction at all, right as she began to pulse for the first time.

Her whimpers of pleasure were music to my ears as they came to a peak, forcing me to go back for more.

It was when my fingers grazed that rough spot inside her that she really began to cry out.

“Feel good…” I pulled back just far enough to look up the line of her body, her eyes finding mine. Her lips pulled free of where she was sucking Mads’ cock, a thin line of saliva still joining the two of them. “Imagine what it’ll feel like when we knot you.”

“No—” Gideon broke away from where he was sucking her nipple.

“Yes…!”

Briar made clear exactly how she felt about that, rutting against my fingers through one shuddering orgasm, then the next.

I licked her so very softly, concerned she was too sensitive, but not my girl.

She rode my face, right up until the point she got sick of the seat she was on, needing another.

Trying to join me on the floor, I picked her up with one arm, carrying her over to the bed.

Her nest was right there next to it, something that had my brothers and I sharing a glance.

It went unspoken that we wouldn’t be going anywhere near it.

It was a place sacred to an omega and we hadn’t earned that right.

“Now…” She writhed on the bed like a woman possessed. “I need…”

“How do we do this?” I asked.

“If you need lessons?—”

How the fuck could Mads make jokes at a time like this?

“You need to go first.” Gideon stared at Mads. “Maybe the only one. You were the one that chose her every time.”

“Yes.”

Briar rose up off the bed to drag Mads down, but she needn’t have bothered. He had that on us. Seemed to be able to anticipate what she wanted, needed, crawling onto the bed and covering her body with his.

“You’ve needed this for a while, haven’t you, omega?

” She nodded sharply, a real desperation in her eyes.

That had me moving to her side, putting her head in my lap and stroking her hair.

Briar glanced at me, but her focus was drawn inexorably back to my brother.

“I dreamed of this moment so many fucking times, and while it didn’t look like this.

” He hitched her leg upwards, wrapping it around his waist, the other following suit.

“I can’t seem to regret it. Hopefully I won’t later, when the heat breaks.

I don’t want you to. If there’s anything else you need, whatever else I can do to ease you, I’ll… ”

His hiss, the way his eyes went wide made clear what was happening.

Not for the first time, I felt a vicious kind of jealousy.

Mads never got caught up in the bullshit, didn’t seem to care what other people thought, whereas I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Always aware of everyone’s moods, I was there, tending it like a garden, pulling out weeds of anger or pain without mercy, trying to keep everything hearts and flowers.

But that wasn’t the way life worked.

When her head tilted back, her mouth falling open, I stroked her cheek.

“That’s what you needed, omega. What you’ve needed every time you’ve gone through your heat.” A strangled moan made clear what she thought about this. The silken slip of her hair on my shaft threatened my control, but I stayed right where I was. “Take your fill and you’ll feel so much better.”

That looked like something different to her than me.

Her hands reached behind, dragging me to my knees. My cock finding her lips? It felt like a magnetic force pulling us together. The groan that rattled my chest felt like it was dragged from the depths of me.

Then her damn tongue had to move.

Long, hard sweeps, she sucked greedily, feeling like she was dragging the depths of my soul from me.

“How’s that feel, omega?” I asked, every muscle locked down to stop myself from thrusting deeper than she could take. “So full of us. It could be like this forever…”

“Jace.”

Gideon’s growl felt wrong, his gaze intrusive, because he didn’t understand. He kept everything inside him locked down tight, whereas I had no such capacity. Whatever I had, it belonged to Briar. It might not be smart, but I was a dog that knew who I belonged to, and it was her.

“Keep going like that and I’m gonna come down your throat,” I panted. Her muffled moan told me everything I needed to know. “You want that?” My hips moved in tiny little movements. “You want a belly full of my seed? It’s yours for the taking, omega, so…”

Thoughts left my head as her hand surrounded my knot.

Wasn’t the same as burying it inside her, but gods, it was close, I was sure of it.

Pleasure smashed into me like a freight train, demolishing every concern, every bit of reticence, leaving me gasping.

My claws pricked at her skin, right as that pleasure roared up my spine, turning my body to flame, right as I erupted down her throat.

That greedy little groan followed by frantic swallows did me in.

Every wave was like pure ecstasy. She milked everything I had out of me, even as my knot fought to refill.

Ready to serve her.

Mads picked her up then, turning her around and working her back down his cock.

“Need to knot you now, omega.” When his lips brushed against her neck, when her head fell against his shoulder, I knew what he was thinking.

His lips peeled back from his lips, fangs flashing, but before we could protest, he turned his head away.

“Tell me that’s what you need and I’ll give you everything I’ve got. ”

Her hips swivelled, the movement hypnotic.

“Yes…” she gasped. “Yes…”
