My fingers go to my mouth as I suck the tip of my finger in an attempt to calm myself.

“Paxton had an idea.” Cameron offers, his hand wrapping around my ankle, stroking it softly with the pad of his thumb as he draws my gaze to his.

It’s so soft and gentle, I like the way he touches me, “We try this for a month. One month of courting and after that we sit down and see what is working and what isn’t. We communicate the whole time and if we decide after a month this isn’t for us you can walk away.”

It’s logical but I’m a Cancer and I know that in two weeks I’m going to be in love with them all.

But one month doesn’t sound too bad.

There is a small risk but having it not be this no end date thing makes it harder. After one month everything will make more sense after a month and it can either be what we want or not.

Jace reaches out, his hand finding mine as Paxton’s hand finds my hair, Anthony reaches forward for my ankle and I kick at him with a glare.

All my omega senses tingle as all the touches, which would overwhelm me most days, makes me melt, wanting to be in a big puppy pile of alphas.

Ant tries to touch me again and I kick him and he frowns at me.

“You ratted me out.” He shrugs his shoulders sitting on the bed and laying my legs over his lap as I frown at him.

He’s so comfortable touching me, like he has been doing it his whole life and I enjoy how easy he makes it for me.

“I think it would be hot to see you get spanked.” He doesn’t apologizeand I think about kicking him again. But stop, thinking about what we were talking about instead.

What if one of them doesn’t want me? What if it's just fun now?

One month and I’m sure we can figure all that out.

One month and I can walk away with an experience to talk to my friends about.

It’s no pressure.

It’s fine.

“What are the expectations before I agree to this? Like are we having rotating date nights? Are we all having sex together? Can I have more details about this?”

“You’re freaking yourself out, Sadie. It’s just like other relationships except you have four people who are going to care for you instead of one. We move at your comfort. You tell us what your limits are. Of course we have some things we would like to talk about but we can talk as it comes up or about it now. You decide, Sadie sweetheart. And if you say no that is also okay. No harm.” Paxton explains, kissing my temple. “We do want to court you properly. Register that we are courting and have you move in with us. We can talk about when your heat is coming and things like that if it’s an issue.” He takes it all so seriously.

He is petting my hair as he talks to me and I’m struck by how I should be running from this conversation but I’m not. I feel fine and safe with him.

With all of these alphas.

I know my answer but it’s still terrifying.

“I want you all. One month. I don’t have a heat coming up. And I won’t have sex without a condom and I’d like STD checks, please.” It’s quiet for a second before Paxton turns my head, our eyes meeting and I know he’s about to kiss me.

His lips are warm, soft and powerful.

He doesn’t kiss like Cameron, it’s almost like he’s trying to let me know I’m okay. His kiss is holding back something, almost like he’s afraid to give me too much. I’m not sure if he's afraid that I can’t handle it or he can’t. But he is here now and he’s showing me that as his lips massage mine.

As his mouth leaves mine Cameron comes to kiss me, his body pressing me back, half onto Paxton and the pillows as his open mouthed kiss makes me groan. He kisses me like he wants to consume me and I shiver as he pulls away, thus thumb pressed to where my lips just were. I can taste the faint mint of his toothpaste as his tongue slips around mine, tasting me and mixing us so we’re one mixed flavor.

“Hell, it’s so hot watching you kiss them.” Jace’s southern drawl has me turning my head to look at him with half hooded eyes. I can feel the wetness from Cameron’s mouth still clinging to my lips. His thumb pushes my chin up as he gives me a small smirk, leaning in to kiss me.

Mixing all of us together. Our scents are spinning around us as I whimper out in the way we all smell together.

Chocolate. Oranges. Cardamom. Burnt marshmallows. Peaches.

It starts so soft, little lip nuzzles before he’s pulling me to him and his tongue is tasting me. Just as demanding as Cameron with the soft tenderness of Paxton. It’s intoxicating and as he goes to pull away I fist his shirt holding him to me.
