Chapter Sixty-Nine

Lilianna

T he four men followed me into the nest, their movements careful and deliberate.

Julian settled beside me first, his warmth a comforting presence against my side.

Christopher positioned himself at my other side, while Miles and Nicolaus arranged themselves at the edges of the nest, creating a protective circle around me.

"How do you want to do this?" Julian asked, his voice husky with anticipation. His fingers traced delicate patterns on my arm, raising goosebumps in their wake.

I took a deep breath, suddenly aware of how little I knew about the actual process. "I... I'm not sure. I know where the marks go, but..." I trailed off, feeling heat rise to my cheeks.

"Let us guide you," Christopher murmured, his gentle hand cupping my face. "We'll take it slow.”

"The marks will be placed on your neck," Nicolaus explained, his analytical tone softened by the intimacy of the moment. "Each in a slightly different position, but all visible when you choose to display them."

I nodded, my heart racing. "And it... it happens during..."

"Yes," Miles confirmed, his eyes darkening as he watched me. "The marking is most successful at the height of pleasure. The bite creates a bond—chemical, emotional, spiritual—that connects us permanently."

Julian's fingers traced the curve of my neck, sending shivers down my spine. "It will hurt for a moment," he said honestly, "but the pleasure will overwhelm the pain."

"The order matters," Christopher added, his thumb brushing across my lower lip. "Each mark builds on the one before, strengthening the bond."

I looked between them, suddenly uncertain. "Head Alpha goes first….so Julian?”

Julian smiled, “It usually is that yes…but it also matters if that is what you want. Is that what you want? ”

I blushed, biting my lip, “Yes. That is what I want.” The smile that spread across Julian's face was both tender and primal. He shifted closer, his hand sliding to cup the back of my neck, fingers tangling in my hair.

"Then that's what you'll have," he murmured, his voice dropping to that deep register that made my omega instincts respond instantly.

His lips brushed against mine, the touch feather-light but electric.

I felt myself melting into him, my body responding to his alpha presence with an intensity that stole my breath.

The other men shifted around us, creating space while maintaining their protective circle.

Julian's kiss deepened, his tongue sliding against mine as his hand traveled from my neck down my side, coming to rest at my hip. He pulled back slightly, his eyes nearly black with desire.

"I need you to be sure," he whispered against my lips. "Once this happens, there's no going back."

"I'm sure," I breathed, reaching up to touch his face. "I want this. I want you—all of you."

That was all the permission he needed. With a fluid movement, Julian shifted our positions, guiding me to lie back against the soft pillows while he hovered above me. His hands moved with reverent slowness, fingers tracing the hem of my sundress.

"May I?" he asked, his voice rough with restraint.

I nodded, unable to find words as anticipation coiled tight in my belly. He lifted the fabric carefully, his touch worshipful as he revealed my skin inch by inch. The other alphas watched with hungry eyes, their scents growing heavier in the air around us.

When Julian's mouth found the sensitive spot where my neck met my shoulder, I gasped, my back arching involuntarily. His teeth grazed the skin there—not breaking it yet, but promising what was to come.

"Beautiful," Christopher murmured from beside us, his hand stroking my hair. "So beautiful, Lilianna."

Julian's hands mapped my body with practiced skill, finding every sensitive spot that made me gasp and arch beneath him.

His touch was reverent yet demanding, building a fire in my core that spread through my entire being.

I was dimly aware of the other alphas shifting around us, their breathing growing heavier as they watched Julian worship my body with his hands and mouth.

"So responsive," Miles murmured, his voice thick with desire. "Look how she trembles for you, Julian."

Julian's mouth moved lower, pressing open-mouthed kisses along my collarbone while his hands worked to remove the last barriers between us. When his lips found my breast, I cried out, my hands fisting in his hair as pleasure shot straight to my core.

"That's it, sweetheart," Christopher's voice was a low rumble near my ear. "Let us hear you."

I was beyond coherent thought. The sensations were overwhelming—his lips, his hands, the weight of his body above mine, the intoxicating scent of alpha arousal filling the air. I was drowning in pleasure, my body responding to him with an intensity I'd never experienced.

"Please," I gasped, not even sure what I was begging for.

"Not yet," Julian murmured against my skin, his voice strained with his own need. "I want you higher first."

His hands and mouth continued their torment, building the fire inside me until I was trembling with need. The other alphas' presence around us was a constant reminder of what was to come—four bonds, four marks, four claims on my body and soul.

I gasped feeling another pair of hands going between my legs to my core, the unfamiliar touch making me arch against Julian's mouth. I looked down to see Nicolaus's hands joining Julian's exploration, his fingers tracing me before he plunged them into me with one quick movement.

I cried out at the dual sensation, my body arching off the nest as pleasure spiraled through me. Julian's mouth continued its sweet torture on my breast while Nicolaus's long fingers worked me with expert precision, finding that perfect spot inside that made stars burst behind my eyelids.

"That's it," Miles murmured from somewhere beside me, his voice thick with desire. "Look how beautifully she responds."

Christopher's hand stroked my hair, his touch grounding me as the others pushed me higher. "Breathe, Lilianna," he instructed softly. "Let yourself feel everything."

I was drowning in sensation, my body no longer my own but a vessel for the pleasure they were creating together. Julian's teeth scraped against my sensitive nipple, making me jerk and moan as Nicolaus added a third finger, stretching me deliciously.

"Good girl..” Nicolaus muttered, fingers curling in me as I gave another gasp.

"My omega" Julian murmured, his voice dropping to that primal register that made my entire body quiver. "Look at me, Lilianna."

I forced my eyes open, meeting his intense gaze as Nicolaus's fingers continued their relentless rhythm inside me.

Julian shifted, positioning himself between my legs as Nicolaus withdrew.

The loss made me whimper, but Julian's hands immediately replaced the sensation, gripping my hips with firm possession.

"Alpha, " I moaned, the word falling from my lips without conscious thought.

Julian's eyes blazed at the title, his grip tightening on my hips as he positioned himself at my entrance. "Say it again," he commanded, his voice raw with need.

"Alpha," I breathed, my hands reaching for him desperately. "Please, Julian. I need—"

"I know what you need," he interrupted, his voice gentle despite the hunger in his eyes. "I'm going to give you everything."

He entered me slowly, his size stretching me deliciously as he filled me completely.

I gasped at the sensation, my body adjusting to accommodate him but he didn’t let me get used to the feeling.

Julian's hips began to move with deep, purposeful thrusts that made me cry out with each one.

His rhythm was relentless yet controlled, each movement designed to build my pleasure higher.

I could feel the others watching, their intense gazes adding another layer to my mounting ecstasy.

"That's it," Julian growled against my neck, his breath hot against my skin. "Feel me, Lilianna. Feel what you do to me."

My hands clutched at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as the tension inside me built to an almost unbearable peak. Christopher's fingers stroked through my hair while Miles whispered encouragements, their voices blending into a symphony of alpha desire that surrounded me completely.

“Alpha!” I gasped feeling his thrusts grew more intense, more focused, driving me closer to the edge with each powerful movement.

I could feel his knot growing, stretching me deliciously with each push and pull of his hips.

The other alphas shifted closer, their scents thick with arousal as they watched Julian claim me.

"She's close," Nicolaus observed, his analytical tone strained with desire. "Her pulse is racing."

Christopher's hand tightened in my hair, gently turning my head to expose my neck more fully.

"Let go for me," Julian commanded, his voice a primal growl against my ear as his knot began to swell. "Come for your Alpha."

His teeth grazed the sensitive junction between my neck and shoulder, sending electric shivers through my entire body. I was teetering on the edge, every nerve ending alive with sensation.

"I'm—" The words dissolved into a cry as Julian hit that perfect spot inside me, sending me hurtling over the precipice. Pleasure crashed through me in overwhelming waves, my body clenching around him as I shattered completely, my teeth coming down to bite him in the neck.

Julian gave a low growl as I took my teeth out of him, another hard thrust into me making me cry out again as he rode me through my high.

It was in that perfect moment of ecstasy when his teeth broke my skin.

Sharp pain mingled with the cresting pleasure, creating a sensation so intense I couldn't breathe.
