Chapter 26

Briggs

N ova places the last rune tile in the sequence and raises her hand in victory, pumping her fists and wiggling around. After finishing her dance, she hovers over the coffee table, counting her matches.

She’s so fucking cute. Adorable. Sexy as fuck. It makes it difficult to keep my hands to myself. I want to crawl over and take a bite out of the ass she keeps shaking my way.

We’re camped out in the living room by the fire, dinner dishes spread around us as the storm still howls outside. It’s day three of being snowed in, but the cabin is toasty.

Even losing epically isn’t enough to dampen the fun of watching Nova go toe to toe with Gage. They’re kicking our asses at Cauldron, a traditional shifter game that requires matching rune tiles in specific patterns to earn points. Dex and I didn’t learn the runes as kids, and it shows in our weak-ass gameplay.

“That would be two spells and a jinx,” she declares proudly.

Dex scribbles on the pad beside him before giving Nova a dopey grin. “That puts you back in the lead.”

“Not so fast.” Gage makes an over-the-top villainous laugh as he places his next tiles. He piggybacks off her last move, then the damn genius adds an additional sequence connected to the first, doubling the points.

Nova throws back her head. “I thought I had you that time.”

Gage leans across the coffee table and scrapes his teeth along her neck. “Admit defeat and give me my prize now.”

She shivers but leans in, whispering loud enough for all of us to hear, “Never.” Her eyes catch mine, and they’re full of teasing mischief.

Dex chuckles. “Give him shit, sweetheart.”

I pat my leg. “Come sit with me, and I’ll give you a prize win or lose.”

Her eyes flare with heat, and she crawls my way, no doubt giving Gage and Dex a peek of her ass beneath that sweater.

“What kind of prize?” she asks, leaning over me and stealing a kiss. It’s playful and hungry.

“The kind where you come.” I pinch her nipple, and she moans into my mouth.

As Gage warned, her omega instincts are riding her hard, making it so she needs her alphas’ touch. Over the last few days, while we’ve been riding out the storm in the cabin, she’s spent at least half of it sucking down our scents and coming on our fingers. We’ve talked, cooked together, watched a few movies, and played games, but we’ve never made it far into any of those activities before her perfume swelled.

I swear I’ve walked in on my brother and Nova in the kitchen half a dozen times, her spread out on the table while he feasts between her legs. He’s damn near obsessed with eating her out, and she’s loving it.

He proves my point by scooting closer and palming her ass, his big hands spreading her cheeks. “You can’t put this pretty pussy in my face and expect me not to do something about it, sweet girl.”

“Why do you think I did it, alpha?” she says with false innocence.

Her playfulness makes me salivate. I’m so gone for her.

Her cinnamon apple scent thickens, and I can almost taste her slick in the air. I kiss my way down her neck, then mouth a hard nipple, sucking the peak before moving to the other. Nova gasps into my neck. I tease the edge of her sweater, drawing little circles on her soft skin.

“Please,” she whines.

“Please what?” I ask. “Do you want to torture Gage, make him watch me give you your prize?”

She makes this breathy noise I take as agreement.

“That’s my naughty girl.” I give her nipples a good tug, and she whimpers, sucking along my neck.

My eyes find Gage’s. They’re filled with equal parts fuck-off vibes and pure jealousy, but I happen to like riling up the alpha. I give Gage my best shit-eating grin and nod toward the chair by the fire that will give him the best or worst view, depending on his view of edging. “Take the chair and keep your hands off.”

“Not happening,” Gage growls. He complies anyway, and that sweetens the deal.

“Knot,” Nova begs. Her voice is desperate, and her pitch is too high.

That’s new . We’ve been going at her pace, and she’s been satisfied with mouths and hands.My dick jumps, cheering on her request.

Dex growls, burying his face between her legs. That sends Nova into a fresh wave of need. She tightly clutches my sweater, her glazed silver eyes finding mine. They say please and alpha enough to crumble my remaining control.

I cradle her cheek. “We’ve got you, baby. Let Dex make you come so you’re nice and slick and ready for me.”

She gives a stuttering breath, her eyes rolling back at whatever Dex is doing. I hold on to her shoulders to keep her steady, whispering praise in her ear. At the same time, my brother pushes her higher and higher toward climax.

Gage’s eyes feel hot on the three of us, his hand slowly making its way to his lap to run along the outline of his bulge.

“I said hands off, Gage. That meant your cock too,” I warn.

“What are you going to do about it?” The handsome wolf smirks. His hand still strokes the outline of his cock, and his eyes flash with a challenge from his alpha.

“If I didn’t have our pretty omega in my lap, I might stuff that smug mouth of yours full.”

“Oh, shit.” Nova throws a glance at Gage over her shoulder. “That’s a hot visual we should make happen.”

“Eyes on the one pleasuring you, baby girl.” Dex smacks her ass and growls, stuffing her with his fingers. He pumps into her slowly while he holds her gaze, and I tease her perky tits. The longer he draws it out, the more desperate Nova becomes.

“Please, alpha. Make me come,” she whines, rocking her hips.

Dex smacks her ass again and dives on her, eating her pussy as though it’s his life’s mission. She half collapses against me, letting loose these horny sounds until she freezes and comes on a soundless scream.

It doesn’t take her long before she’s taking deep huffs of my scent and sucking along my neck. “Knot.”

I fumble with my sweats, but Nova isn’t having the delay. It’s chaos as she paws at my lap, her hands and mouth impeding my progress.

“Come here, sweetheart. Breathe for a minute.” Dex takes our squirming omega from my arms, and she latches on like an octopus, wrapping herself around him and sucking his neck.

I’m just as eager, moving to the end of the couch while I strip. I can’t help but take my cock in hand, giving it a stroke to try to take off some of the edge. I’m always hard and fucking ready when she’s around, but the thought of giving her my knot has made me damn near wild.

My brother passes a whimpering Nova to me, and I pull her back against my chest, wrapping my arm around her middle. Her knees fall open and she rubs her wet pussy along my hard shaft, soaking my aching dick.

“Gods, I can smell how much you need it, baby.” I squeeze her hip, trailing kisses along her neck as Dex sucks on her nipples.“You’re gonna look so pretty stuffed full of my cock.”

I know some of this is from the hormone fog. She’s in a frenzy, but I want this to be good for her, for her to feel how much we want to cherish her and please her.

I hold my cock steady, rubbing it through her slick center, teasing the crown against her clit. She grips Dex’s head for dear life, begging and rocking on my lap.

“You ready, pretty girl?” I notch my cock at her entrance, hovering.

“Past ready. Give it to me,” she begs, turning her head for a sloppy kiss.

I ease my way inside as she pants into my mouth, our lips sliding against one another. She’s tight but slick, and those first few inches feel like fucking paradise.“Mmm, you feel so good.”

She clamps down around me at my words. I curse on a tentative thrust of my hips. With a hard but careful push, I nudge through the resistance. For a moment, Nova tenses in pain, her scent spiking.

“That’s it, gorgeous, you’re taking me so well. Just a little more.” I circle her clit with my finger, teasing her until her muscles relax and she’s back to rocking against me.

I slide farther into her tight heat, gripping her hips to keep her steady with each thrust.It’s so fucking good—her scent, the feel of her body welcoming me home, her sweet pussy sucking me in on each thrust of my hips. I can’t hold back. I pump into her with quick strokes, holding her to me.

Nova chants a string of yes and more . She stretches around me as my knot teases against her opening, pulling her wider with each glide.

Nova whines, and Dex grips her throat, holding her gaze while I hit that spot deep inside that makes her fucking gush. Her pussy spasms around my cock. Dex swallows her moans as she comes for me. A rush of slick floods my knot, and on a final thrust, I lock myself inside.

She goes wild then, rocking on my knot and fumbling for Dex. She barely gets him out before she’s sucking him down, moaning as she takes us both.

“Fuck, sweet girl. Easy. I don’t want to hurt you,” Dex grits through clenched teeth as he grips her head.

I know the feeling. This little omega wrecks me.

Gage moans, and from the corner of my eye, I see the alpha stiffen, cum pooling on his fist.

The sight, combined with the pressure on my knot, sends me over the edge. My cum floods her pussy, and my alpha purrs in satisfaction as he imagines breeding her.He’s already demanding I fill her during her heat so we can put a baby in her.

Nova whimpers, and Gage seems to understand the unspoken command. He gets up, dick in hand, and joins Dex.

“Take it, star. It’s all for you,” Gage says softly, feeding her his length.

She licks him clean, nuzzling his cock as she twists her small hand around Dex’s length. It makes her clamp down on me again, and another spurt of cum fills her plugged pussy.

“So perfect. So beautiful. The perfect mate.” My words slur together without making much damn sense.

I can’t think or focus. It’s too good. I’ve never knotted someone before, and it’s taking everything I have not to sink my teeth into her neck. My fangs drop, and I grit through the instinct, loving and hating the torture.

Dex stutters above us, and Nova mewls, thrusting out her chest as he marks her tits.My dick makes a valiant effort to come again when she rubs the mess into her skin and sucks her finger.

“Fuck, little star. I’ll never be able to have game night again without getting hard,” Gage curses.

The healer is on to something. I’ve lost count of the number of times my record for “this is the hottest thing ever” has been broken in the last few days.

Nova nuzzles into my neck, content to rock on my knot. The others clean up, shuffling around us. I close my eyes, holding her close.My hands brush over her hair, soothing her as our hearts slow together.

"You’re perfect, love. I’m the luckiest wolf in the world that you’re mine," I whisper.

Nova slurs something that sounds like “love you."

My heart trips over itself. Even if she’s saying it in a knot-induced stupor, I want it to be true.

Moments later, her soft purr flutters around me.Outside, the storm bellows, and the lights flicker twice before going out. Dex and Gage let out twin curses, but the backup generator doesn’t kick on.

“I thought you said it was fixed,” Gage grumbles, following Dex toward the door.

“I did. But the damn thing is older than dirt. So is your solar grid.”

Gage shrugs. “That’s what magic is for.”

“How’s that working out for you now?”

They stomp about in the entry by the door, bundling up to face the storm.

“I’d say pretty decent. All things considered.”

My brother glares at him before turning to give me a look that says he’d much rather be in my position.“When I get back, you’d better be in the nest. If I’m going outside, I want Nova snuggles to look forward to,” Dex mutters.

I give him a mocking salute and drag a blanket from the back of the couch to cover Nova. Content, I run my fingers through her hair and listen to the steady beat of two hearts.

I don’t know how the fuck I managed to carve out a slice of paradise in this fucked-up world, but I know I’ll protect this peace with everything I am.
