ELLA
Iwas the center of an omega sandwich,andIcouldn’thelp myself.I was getting used to it for the past week I spent sleeping in my nest more than the guest room I had been in– or not my nest.The nest.
I really shouldn’t be getting used to it. So used to it.
The idea sounded a lot dirtier in my headhoweverthan I was expecting it to.An image floated through my mind, hot and soft andso,so good.
We could all be in the nest here, scents mixing. There would be comfy things all around meandmostimportantlywe’dstill be right here, only naked. Cal was at my back, heat pressing into my corewhileDemetri snuggled close with his arms wrapped around me.
I wiggled, feeling the heat of their breath tickling my skin as they shifted, molding around me.
A moan sounded before I realized it came from me.
There was an inhale before someone gently shushed me, pressing their lips against the spacerightunder my jaw. I never knew thatsomeone could be kissedthere. But my, did it feel amazing?
I arched, opening my eyes as my hand reached forward to run through a cropped cut of dark hair.Chocolate and sweet spices floated up surrounding me whenamomentagoall I could smell was cream and berries.
That was me, I was starting to realize.
That was my perfume.
I guess itdidn’tmatter. At this point, Icouldn’tcare less if the broad-shouldered man kept touching me like that. His fingers dug into my hips and held me against him. He was hard wherever I squirmed, and my insides turned to mush.“Mm, Alpha.”
“Omega,”Demetri groaned back as his hands traveled under my shirt towards my chest.
“Demetri,” Cal said, gently pushing at his chest. “Demetri if you keep going, you're going to slip into a rut.”
At the words, Demetri blinked, pausing his ravaging of my neck.“What?”
I gripped his shirt, wanting to pull him back to me.
“You need to calm down.Sheis having a practice heat again.”
Heat. This wasn’t real heat?
It sure felt real.
“Youdon’twantto accidentally bite her.”A gentle kiss landed on the back of my neck with the words.“We got you, Els.”
I shivered into their hands.
But… a rut.
Bonding.
The heataliveandpulsingshuddered back into icy coolness as I opened my eyesfullto face Demetri, both of our chests heaving towards each other. The practice heat may have already cooled, but it would only be so long until the real thing happened.
Wasn’t it?
I took a deep breathandso did Demetri in front of me. It was Demetri. Analpha. Yet I stillwasn’tscared. When did that happen?
I licked my lips.
“Are you okay?”Demetri asked. His eyes remained closed as he spoke to control himself, yet he stilldidn’tlet go of me.
“Uh-huh,”I assured him, though I was pretty sure my underwear was now a mess of… slick.That’swhat was making me so wet,wasn’tit?Because omegas produced slick?
I felt so stupid how unprepared and uneducated I was aboutall ofthis.
