Page 74 of Knot That Difficult

I lie back down and roll on my side to face him, my eyes wide. “They were serious?” I ask in a hushed tone.

He nods. “It’s meant to have everything you need. Honestly, Dev…they went above and beyond. I’m fucking impressed.”

I look down at my clothes and realize that I’m in a soft oversized shirt and loose lounge pants. “I fell asleep,” I murmur, my face flaming. “After…after everything.”

“You did,” Ben grins. “It wouldn’t be the first time.”

I’m going to smack him with a pillow. I reach for it, but he grabs my arms and flips us so he’s on top of me, kissing my neck. I pretend to be angry, but it’s hard to be frustrated when he nibbles at my delicate skin.

“If you have an orgasm so hard you pass out, the last thing any of us care about is if we get off,” Ben whispers in my ear. “If anything, it’s a huge ego boost, and I’m sure they took care of each other afterwards.”

He moves against me, dressed only in his boxers and his white undershirt. His cock presses against the crotch of the sweatpants I wear, and I grind against his hardness.

“And who took care of you?” I whisper, tugging at his hair as he plays with my mating gland, making my inner Omega stir to life.

“No one yet,” he says, kissing me. “Hopefully my hot girlfriend does, though.”

I laugh, and he nips at my neck again.

“I’m really proud of you, by the way,” he continues, lazily thrusting his erection against the crotch of my sweatpants. “Insanely, ridiculously proud.”

“Really? Why?”

It takes a moment of maneuvering, but once my bottoms are off, Ben kicks off his boxers and positions his cock at my entrance. “Because you did something new. You went after what you wanted, and you were unapologetically yourself the whole time.”

Ben’s still at my entrance, and I lift my hips to push him into me.

I’m already soaked, and he slides all the way in, bottoming out inside me.

“You’re so easy to love, Dev,” he pants as he thrusts into me. I lift my hips to meet his movements, and he takes his time, rocking into me slowly and leaving me whimpering. “It’s an honor to love you, to be near you. And I think Connor and Ace know that.”

At the mention of their names, my walls tighten around Ben, and he moans.

But he keeps his slow pace, whispering praise into my ear and hitting the spot deep inside my core that makes me see stars.

When I finally come, he buries his face in my neck and groans, stilling against me. He pants against my skin, and I wrap my arms around him and squeeze my cunt around his cock.

When we both catch our breath, he rolls us onto our sides, spooning me.

“I’m so proud of you,” he says into my ear. I hum contentedly, and he absentmindedly strokes my arm as I smile in his hold.

“What did you guys do after I fell asleep?” I ask softly.

“I cleaned you up, got you into fresh clothes, and then they tucked you into bed,” he says, and my heart races. “And then we just…talked.”

“About what?”

“About a lot of stuff. Work, family, all the normal things.”

My body tenses. “And how do you feel about Ace?”

Ben sighs. “Ace wants what’s best for you, Dev,” he says softly. “He makes you happy, and he’s not really that bad of a guy,” he admits. “I don’t agree with what he’s done, but he’s also not a terrible person.” He squeezes me tighter. “And Connor loves him, and Connor is a great guy. Ace is also good at video games, so there’s that.”

I can’t stop the silly smile that spreads across my face.

“He’s enamored with you, Devyn. He looks at you like you’re the reason the sun rises every day. Connor looks at you that way, too. It’s the way you deserved to be loved, Dev.”

Happy, ridiculous tears fill my eyes.
