Page 47 of Knot Their Valentine

“Oh…” I frown. “So this whole time, we could have been something? You're telling me that we all had crushes on each other…but just never acted on them?” I let out a huffy laugh, but it's anything but funny. This is actually very frustrating.

“We're acting on it now. That's what matters, right?” Quin pulls me in close to his side, nodding to the pile of blankets and pillows, including the ones that the guys grabbed for us.

“I guess we are.” I start grabbing the blankets that don't have any of our scents on them and lay them out in a circle. Then Itook the blanket that Quin just scent marked and lay it over the top.

Quin seems to catch on to what I'm doing and starts adding the pillows as well. Then we take the blankets with everyone's scents and lay them on top.

The nest is big enough for all four of us to fit comfortably with two blankets left over that we can use if we get cold.

“You two get in. I want your scents all over it,” I demand.

“This is only temporary,” Cae says as he climbs into the nest. I frown, shaking my head. The fog of heat rolling under my skin intensifies as I watch the flex of the muscles in his back.

“Shirt off. Both of you,” I add, crossing my arms over my chest and watching both Alphas carefully. When Lachlan tries to toss his shirt to the side, I snatch it out of his hands and add it to the nest.

Once both Alphas are in, that's when I realize what Cae said.

“What's only temporary?”

“This nest. The apartment. We're gonna move to a house. Somewhere that has enough room to give you both a real nest.” Cae's words hurt my feelings a little bit. This is a real nest… I guess he senses my discomfort because he shakes his head and reaches for me. I fall against his chest with a happy purr. “That's not what I meant, little Omega. I just meant that you and Quin deserve a bigger space that we can dedicate to the both of you.”

“The both of us?”

“Yes. You didn't think we were going to let you leave us now, did you?” Cae nuzzles my neck, and I start purring instantly.

I can tell that my instincts have kicked everything up a notch because the desire to scent mark the hell out of Cae right now is nearly overpowering all of my other thoughts.

Instead of fighting against it, I give in. But first…

I pull away from the Alpha and kneel in the middle of the nest. I start pulling off every layer of clothing, wanting to remove any scent from my body that doesn't belong to one of these men.

I tossed my discarded clothes outside the nest, now only in my bra in underwear and climb back into the Alpha's waiting arms.

I nuzzle up under his chin and mark him with my scent. My desire rises, and my scent spikes with need as I breathe in Cae's scent now that he's slathered with mine.

It's fucking intoxicating.

But I need more.

Next, I turn to Lachlan. I straddle his hips and sit in his lap. His large, warm hands grip my ass easily.

“Feeling needy?” Lach groans, and I nod, marking him next.

Quin doesn't wait for me to finish before he's pulling me away from the Alpha and into his arms. While I had been distracted, he had stripped to his tight black briefs. The other Omega lies back in the nest between his Alphas, helping me settle against the stiff cock hidden by thin cotton fabric, and reaches up to push his fingers into my hair.

“You're so beautiful, Harlow. You are everything. Everything I didn't realize I needed, and everything I've always desperately wanted. I hope you choose us, but if you don't, I need you to know that I'm not letting you go. You can say no, if that's what you want to do… but I'll just have to stalk you…” I've never heard Quin’s voice so deep or the growling quality to his tone. He sounds aggressive and possessive, and everything Omegas are not. He sounds fucking perfect, and slick immediately gushes from my center.

That is quite possibly the hottest thing anyone has ever said to me. Which should be concerning, considering it was basically a threat.

I can leave and say no if I want, but I also can't? Why is that so fucking sexy? Maybe because I feel exactly the same way about him…

“You think I don't feel the same? That I would ever let you leave me, Omega? You are mine, now. And I'm going to fucking keep you.” I'm not sure what possesses me, what demon comes over me, but I move quickly leaning forward and sink my teeth into Quin's neck.

His pack lets out deep, throaty, desperate moans to match his as his blood fills my mouth. My body shivers with need as ecstasy fills my veins.

We link instantly, the bond accepted, not just by Quin, but by the other two as well.

As pack lead, Cae will have to bite me too, to complete the bond, but I've just made a claim of my own.
