From the bites and bruises marking Cameron’s skin, painstakingly.

As she studied the trail of affection, something like jealousy slithered through her. River could bite Cameron all he wanted without having to worry about a premature bond forming.

Her mouth watered at just the thought, and as she stroked a thumb over one of the smudges, she leaned down to mouth at Cameron’s neck. His scent was on her tongue and she wantedmore.

“Do you have enough patience to let me taste you first?” she asked, lips brushing his skin as she whispered.

He whined, nodding, and Ashley shifted lower, out of reach of his curious and deft fingers plucking at her nipples.

She nipped, never bit, and kissed and licked at his skin, watching his abs jump beneath her touch. A tiny pool of slick awaited her beneath the head of his cock, and she gripped him with her hand, ignoring the way his hips attempted to jump.

She had a one-track mind, all Cameron, all taste.

Right before she lowered her head, she glanced up, both of their gazes locked on her.

“Sit behind him,” she told River. “So you have a better view.”

River swallowed, then nodded, and they shuffled until Cameron was leaning against River’s chest. Once they were settled, Ashley stroked Cameron in a slow motion, watching the slick well out from the tip and spill over her hand.

His pheromones filled the air, strongest here at the center of his body, and Ashleywanted.

So she took, moaning at the first sample of him, sweet like honey on her tongue.

She lapped at the head before circling her lips around him, hunting for more of his taste. He gasped above her, and she wanted to look up, but her hair was in the way.

Releasing him with apop,she pushed her hair back and met his gaze. “Will you hold my hair back for me?” she asked oh-so-sweetly.

Cameron looked like he’d rather do nothing more, and he carefully combed her hair back from her face, tangling it in his fingers to keep it out of her way.

“I don’t mind if you pull,” she told him, and then lowered her head again.

He moaned as she took him into her mouth, and Ashley planted a hand on his hip, holding him down so she was in control.

She chased the dessert of him, the burst of slick spilling across her tongue. Every groan and noise he let slip, every tug of his hand in her hair made heat dance within her, gathering in her core.

Between her thighs was damp from her arousal, but it had nothing on Cameron.

She remembered how it had felt for Dylan to purr against her, and let her own pour out.

Cameron cried out at the vibration, hips rocking against her hold, and his cock twitched across her tongue.

It was the last straw. He came, and she swallowed him down, taking every bit that he would give her and still wanting more.

Omega.

Once his hand fell from her hair, she released him.

“Alpha,” he said, voice already rough from his whines.

She came at his call, crawling up his and River’s bodies, kissing him sweetly, sharing his taste.

They parted for air and she didn’t hesitate to lean up a few more inches, catching River’s eye.

“Want a taste?” she asked, and he’d barely nodded before they met in the middle.

Kissing him was different than kissing Cameron. Cameron melted beneath her like butter, letting her take the lead, but River met her stroke for stroke. It almost felt like defiance, the way he lapped at her, their tongues twining, sharing the taste of the omega between them. She wasn’t here to challenge River’s place at Cameron’s side, so she softened the kiss, letting him sip Cameron’s taste from her tongue until the omega?—

Ashley jolted as his lips encircled one of her nipples, the whine he let loose spilling out around her flesh.
