“And do you know what Nugget really wants right now?” I continued. “Ice cream!”

Hendrix snorted. “Why is that not a surprise? I thought Ellie mentioned watching your sugar intake while pregnant?”

“She can get stuffed. Would you really deprive a poor, pregnant omega her ice cream while traveling?” I asked with a pout.

He burst into laughter, tugging me closer for a kiss that made me feel like he was finally listening. “Well, when you put it like that, there’s no way I can say no.”

Chapter 38

Arlo

November, Atlanta

Tonight was a good night. We were all feeling damn fine. Meadow had a pep in her step and had asked to come watch us play. Wearing a pair of leggings and one of Hendrix’s oversized T-shirts, she looked undeniablyours.Her hair was thrown up into one of those buns that looked messy but put together.

Clover had flown in earlier in the day and had immediately dragged Meadow off for some girl time. I had expected her to come back exhausted, because Clover was a whirlwind, but she was excited and raring to go to the show.

I welcomed any opportunity to show off my skills, especially in front of our omega.

“Break a leg,” Meadow told me backstage, planting a quick peck on my cheek. Unsatisfied with such meager affection, I grabbed her waist and pulled her in for a much deeper kiss, reveling in her sweet taste.

She met my movements with glee, her hands fisting in my hair as she pressed against me.

“You guys will have to wait until after the show to fuck.” Phin laughed as he threw his drumsticks in the air and caught them with ease as Clover shook her head.

I pouted. “Well, that’s a damn shame.”

“Don’t worry. As soon as the show is over, we can retreat to the nest,” Meadow assured me, biting her plump bottom lip, tempting me further.

I chuckled. “I don’t know how you think I can make it all the way back to the nest. I’m going to have to drag you into a quiet corner and have my way with you.”

“Ewww!” Clover whined. “You guys have moved into brother territory in my brain, and I don’t need to hear about that. I’m going to go annoy the techs while you do…that.” She shuddered dramatically, stalking away.

“Oh, no…” Meadow grinned up at me, sounding adorably eager.

Would there really be any harm in us being a few minutes late to the show?

“Don’t even think about it!” Beckett said, grabbing me by the back of the neck and pulling me away from Meadow as she laughed, leaning over to kiss Hendrix now that I was no longer within reach.

He smelled like Meadow pussy, and my whole body took notice.

Lucky fucker.Iwanted to smell like Meadow pussy.

At least eating her out before a show seemed to be doing wonders for both of them. Her scent was ten times more potent clinging to his skin while he was on stage, and Meadow was satisfied, at least for a little while. She always seemed ready for any of us, and that made it a million times harder to keep my hands to myself.

“I’ll be finding you after the show, princess!” I shouted over the crowd, waiting for her to nod before running onto the stage.

She stood just offstage, clapping as Hendrix hyped up the crowd. Her beaming smile made me excited—if our omega wanted a show, then I was going to give her a show!

The first three songs went off without a hitch, the atmosphere was amazing, and we were all feeling excited. Despite sleeping half the day away, Hendrix was in his element. My eyes kept wandering over to our omega, who was dancing happily in place, watching us with a look I could only describe as adoring.

How the fuck had we gotten so lucky?

“This next song is a little number calledKnotty Girl.Have you heard of it?” Hendrix shouted, and the crowds went wild, screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs as we started one of our most popular songs.

From my vantage point, I could only see the back of Hendrix’s head as he moved around, leaning forward and singing to the crowd, putting on one hell of a show.

As he started to sing the second verse, his body swayed, and before I could glance at my bandmates to figure out what was going on, he stilled entirely, stopping singing as his head whipped to the side of the stage for a split second before he dropped the mic like it was on fire and ran offstage.
