“What do we do about dinner?” Owen nods toward the kitchen.

I shrug. “Who cares? You can call for room service if you guys want something while we’re napping. We’ll order something when we get up.”

They glance at each other and shrug.

“Okay, now clear out, and turn off the lights when you go.”

I’m not usually bossy, but I feel like being alone with my mate.

If she’s more tired than she should be, my healing touch will help her while she’s sleeping.

Sometimes being an Omega is more of a curse than anything, but tonight it feels like an asset.

I arrange the sheets so we’re both covered up, and by the time I’m curling up next to her, hand on her stomach, my other mates have left the room and turned off the lights.

I lie there in the dark next to her, concentrating on making her feel better.

It’s not long before sleep claims me, too.

Chapter Sixty-Two

Lana

It’s dark when I open my eyes, and I have the disconcerting feeling that I don’t know where I am.

I turn and roll up against a warm body, but I don’t register where I am until a few seconds later.

The tension leaves me when I remember where I was when I fell asleep.

Or passed out. Yeah, it felt a lot more like passing out.

I can’t say that’s ever happened before during sex, or otherwise, but it is the first time I was knotted, and I did have all four of my mates around me, making me feel good.

It takes a second to realize who I’m lying next to in the dark, but once I touch his side I know.

Shadow’s the only one of my mates with the slim build.

Ezra’s build is probably considered average, but he’s still muscular like Owen and Pete are.

“Lana,” he murmurs softly. “Are you awake?”

“Sorry,” I whisper back. “I just woke up.”

“That’s okay,” he tells me, still keeping his voice low. “I stayed with you when you passed out in case you woke up disoriented or something. You had a kind of intense experience.”

“It was the biggest orgasm I’ve ever had, that’s for sure.”

“Biggest I’ve ever felt, too,” he tells me.

“You felt it?” I ask.

“One of the perks of being an Omega,” he explains.

“Right. I forgot you’re able to feel what others are feeling.”

“Mm hm,” he murmurs. “It’s not always a good thing, but that was pretty awesome.”

“It really was,” I admit.
