“I need it. Knot me, Ley, please. Fuck, please fill me,” she begs, her voice thready with arousal, desire releasing her dignityso she can beg for more. I’ll be damned to hell ten times over if I don’t cave like a sandcastle hit by a tidal wave, my groan mingling with her cock-hardening moans until it’s all that fills my ears.

Sitting up, I band one arm around her back, while the other grips her thigh tightly in order to control her movements and mine. Juno drops her arms over my shoulders, drawing her face back from the crook of my neck where she’d been nipping and laving her hot tongue over my skin. The moment her eyes meet mine, I pull Juniper down on my cock just as I surge my hips upward, my knot slotting into place inside her body like she was perfectly designed for me. My spine tingles instantly with an orgasm, my balls tightening as she envelops me so thoroughly I don’t know where she starts and I end.

With her wet heat strangling me, my knot swells and locks in place, right before white-hot pleasure explodes inside me and my release washes over me with my accompanying groan that rattles the fucking windows of the house. My cock pulses, spurting come inside her body, so much that it leaks from her pussy and drips along her thighs as I lose myself to her. Everything around me grows disoriented as my hearing rings for a moment as I come, my hands clamping so tightly around Juno that I won’t be surprised if I leave my marks over her beautiful body.

I only vaguely notice the way her body starts convulsing once more, her pussy tightening before it begins rippling with another orgasm, her cries so beautiful as they mingle with my grunts as I release every drop into her body.

The moment Juno comes down from the high, she slumps her sweat-slicked body against mine, nuzzling her nose into my neck as she pants for the same breath I’m trying to catch.

When my heart doesn’t feel like it’s about to explode out of my chest, I press several lingering kisses to Juno’s neck and shoulder before muttering, “Give me another minute and I’ll take you upstairs where we can have a long bath.”

“Mmm, that sounds nice,” she croons against my shoulder, and I hear the soft, satisfied smile in her voice.

It has my own smile growing, and I nip at her skin, making her shiver against me with a gasp. “If you let me pamper you a little, I might give you a massage while we’re in the bath, too.”

I feel her smile against my neck as she nuzzles me, and she whispers, “I won’t turn down some pampering and a massage.”

“Then wrap your arms around me, honey. I’m taking care of you tonight. The others can have you tomorrow,” I proclaim, making her laugh and tighten around me. Groaning, I bite harder at her flesh, the idea of bonding with her floating through my mind and right back out when I note that this isn’t the time. One day, hopefully sometime soon, I’ll have my mark on her, though.

That idea alone sets my blood on fire, and I can feel myself hardening inside her body once more, her walls suffocating my cock and knot in the best way. Maddeningly still is the way her scent hasn’t softened at all, still sugary sweet and thick with arousal. As much is proven when she tightens around me and shifts her hips with a soft inhale, and I curse when a fresh wave of arousal floods between us.

I’m flipping our positions in the next breath, and Juniper laughs, her glistening blue eyes peering up at me with adoration, love, and contentment, only the smallest strain of anxiety tightening the skin at the corner of her eyes.

“How about we have that bath in a minute?” I ask, grinning down at the beautiful omega wrangling my knot like it was made for her. If you ask me, it was. Every inch of my body, every drop of my pleasure, it’s all hers.

Juniper flashes a grin, one that’s wiped away with a loud moan as I grind into her, rubbing my knot against her sensitive walls. “Great plan. Excellent, even.”

Laughing, I lean in and kiss her chest, dragging my mouth over her chest and breasts. I suck in a nipple, and then the other, noting the way her whole body clenches down on me, and I pull back only enough to rasp, “Yeah, the bath can wait.”

I don’t manage to get us up the stairs until over an hour later, when Juno has lured every drop of pleasure from my body andmine hers, her sleepy frame holding on to me loosely as I go about bathing us, massaging her shoulders, and carrying us to her nest where we fall asleep still joined together and as bare as we came into the world.

Before Juniper falls asleep, her head tucked beneath my head as she lays sprawled on top of me, I confess quietly, “Juniper, I love you.”

She hums sleepily, but I feel her cheeks rise with a smile, so I sink my hand in her hair and begin brushing her wild strands free of knots. Just as I think she’s fallen asleep, more than content to wait for her to feel comfortable enough to utter the words back, she presses a kiss over the spot where my heart beats steadily in my chest, and confidently says, “I love you, too, Leylan. With everything inside me.”

For the first time since we lost Juniper, I fall asleep with no regrets and a smile on my face, my body relaxed and as happy as my mind with my omega using me as a body pillow that was made for her. And it was, it really fucking was.

Chapter 28

Juniper

Three days pass after yet another creepy encounter with a stranger, and the guys have all been clingy and protective, all of which I absolutely love. After not having them around for eight years, their lingering and check-in’s have had my heart on the brink of melting, my appreciation for each one of them growing by the minute.

By the time Friday rolls around, I almost feel like nothing can touch me, despite the paranoia that has me constantly looking over my shoulder. A stupid notion, really, regardless of the guys all accompanying me to school and back home, never spending a single moment without them, Munro, or Pack Larsen. In just a short few days, I’ve found my family growing by the double, Pace, Rage, Haze, and Aero all chipping in to ensure I feel safe at school. And yet, with all of that protection and a sense of invisibility, I still find myself acting with caution, constantly scanning my surroundings, watching and waiting for another fucked-up interaction with a stranger who might want me dead.

As Rage, Haze, and Aero walk with me from the cafeteria, their conversation tuned out while I fan my hand in front of my face, I wonder not for the first time I how I got lucky enough to not only find a pack, but a family that extends further than the five men I was meant to live my life with. Pace and his pack have welcomed me likea sister, each one helping and teasing and generally acting like a pack of brothers I never thought I’d have.

It doesn’t go missed by Silver, the pastel-haired pixie that laughs every time she sees me with the pack that sees me as nothing more than a sibling. She links her arm with mine as soon as she finds me, giving me a funny look before she grins and says, “You know, it’s kind of cute how they’re all banding around you like big bros. I wish I had that in my life, only not in a familial sense. I’d bone those guys for a week straight without needing to blame my heat.”

I hear the twins choke on their words, and I’m confident I catch Aero grinning wildly, but I keep that to myself so I don’t embarrass the glitter unicorn that insists on becoming my new best friend. I’m pretty sure the guys all tune in to Silver when she’s around, any previous conversation being forgotten the moment the bubblegum unicorn steals their attention with very little effort. The only one who ever seems bothered is Munro, and sometimes Rage if he’s in a rotten mood. I don’t think she’s met Pace, yet, the most protective of the bunch and a seriously cool guy. I mean, the dude produces music for fun. Good music, too. I say with great confidence that I don’t doubt the pastel omega beside me wouldn’t hesitate to hump the dude’s leg while panting.

Speaking of which, I continue to fan my face, feeling flushed. “Are you warm or is it just me?”

“Just you,” Aero and Silver answer at the same time, the two sharing an amused look that they both look away from just as quickly. Silver then pats my arm and gently says, “It’s your heat, Kitten. Looks like you’re gonna be back bound in the next couple of days, if I were to hazard a guess. You smell really strong. I thought you knew.”

Oh, shit. That would explain the body aches I woke up with, along with the skull-splitting headache, lethargy, and now the overwhelming heat that feels somewhat different to the heat spikes I’ve been experiencing. This feels like I’ve been walking through the desert without so much as a lick of water or a leaf of shade to protect me from the harsh beating of the sun.

I grimace, because I should have seen this coming. I mean, Aero practically had to spell it out for me, and yet I am still unprepared. It’s not that I didn’t expect my heat, but it still caught me by surprise after the week of no heat spikes that quickly became heat spikes almost every day since Evron took me on a date. Since the night I spent with Leylan, they’ve been coming far more regularly, some brief and some long, but each of them feeling vastly different to the way my body feels as though it’s being shoved into a preheated oven.
