I smell like Harlow and Lachlan. We napped in her bed for almost three hours. Right now, Lachlan is making her food, so I slipped in here to check on Cae. He should be working later today. I debate showering before I shake my head and turn back to my Alpha.

I don’t feel guilty. Why would I? Lachlan is pack, and I could feel Cae through the bond. He knew exactly what was happening the entire time and was sending me his approval.

I still blush as I climb into bed with my Alpha. He pulls me between his legs, his back propped against the leather padded headboard. I lean back against his chest and purr. He loves it when I purr.

My heat is coming soon. So is Harlow’s. I can feel it.

“I want you to take her on your date tomorrow,” I murmur.

“Okay,” Cae kisses my neck, sending sparks of pleasure across my skin. “But for now, maybe we should talk? Do you want to make her yours? Do you need her and what she offers?” Cae presses more kisses to my neck.

“You know you’ve always been enough for me, right?” I spin to face him, frowning. I cup his cheeks, but Cae shakes his head.

“No, that's not what I mean… I mean… If you need Harlow, I won’t ask you not to have her. Or, pursue her… If you want her, and she wants you, and I mean, why the fuck wouldn’t she want you?” He smiles, making me blush, lightening the tension between us before continuing. “If you want each other, I know it’s not because I’m not enough. Harlow isn’t an Alpha. She can offer you something that neither Lach nor I can.”

I stare into his eyes, searching the bond for any signs that he’s lying. That he doesn’t mean what he’s saying. I know he and Harlow have things they need to work out, but if he’s telling me to finally,finally,go for the girl that I know he’s wanted since we were teens, then… Well, maybe he really means it?

Is Harlow the missing piece? The one that should have been with us all along?

We’re drawn to her. We always have been, but her scent? Recently, she’s become fucking irresistible.

We’d formed the pack to help Lachlan mend after his girlfriend cheated. He’d started falling apart, and we couldn’t take it. I couldn’t take it. So we bonded. But, well, we’d rushed into it. Didn’t exactly spend any time talking it over.

Almost a year later, and we still aren’t great at communicating, but things have already started to get better since our girl started sharing our space.

“Make it up to her tomorrow. We’re both close to heat. I can feel it coming, and… I want her in our pack, Cae. I want her to be ours,” I confess.

“Me too, Mate.” Cae bites my neck over the mark he gave me less than a year ago, and I shiver. My cock is already hard, as he slips his hand inside my pajama pants. The feeling of my slick responding to the rich caramelized apricot scent of my mate has me squirming in his lap. Even though I was just in Harlow’s room, watching her make herself come as Lachlan said filthy things…sucking his cock.

“I need you,” I groan, lifting my hips so I can pull my pajama pants off.

“Are you going to think of Harlow, while my hand is wrapped around your cock, Omega?” He bites the lobe of my ear, drawing a moan from my lips, and my eyes fall shut as Cae strokes me.

“Yes,” I gasp, “her and you together.”

“Are you imagining her with her fingers buried between her thighs, her slick dripping from her slit. Can you hear her moaning your name, Quin? How bad she wants you? Are you going to fuck the sweet Omega, Quinton? Do you want my knot buried in your ass while you fuck her, hmm?”

“Oh, fuck, Cae.” My cock twitches, and I jerk forward, the pleasure that shoots through my body as my cock pulses in my Alpha’s hand is more intense than anything I’ve ever felt. From a fucking hand job. He keeps stroking me even after my cock stops twitching, working his hand the way he knows I love.

“I’ll do what I can to make her ours, Quin, but she’s only going to agree if she knows you want her too. That you want to share her with us.”

He’s right. If Harlow is going to agree to be ours, she needs to know how desperate each of us is for her.

She’s meant to be ours.

Chapter Eight

Harlow

I prop my hands on my hips, and stare down the Alpha standing in my doorway.

After the day I had yesterday, I do not want him killing my good mood.

The morning started out horrible when I was fired, but turned into the hottest game of truth or dare. Then Lachlan made me food, and we spent the day cuddling on the couch. Once Cae left for work, Quin joined us.

I made them watch action movies, though. Nothing that might have any filthy, and semi questionable sex scenes.

I even let Quin cuddle me in bed for a little while before Cae got home. He claimed he needed the company because he would be lonely going to bed alone, but I think he just wanted to be close to me.
