“Hey, I wasn’t done dancing yet!” I complained as they trudged through the trees.
“That’s all right, it’s almost over anyway. But I’ll give you a spin once we have some room.” Tony promised as we walked. “Those people were getting jealous of our dance moves anyway!” His humor was infectious. I couldn't help but feel happy regardless. The spring festival had been a whirlwind of music and laughter,and though the festivities had ended, the warmth between us was still palpable.
“How far away is the club?” I asked, and Jax pulled it up on his phone. “Not too far. Maybe a half hour walk.” He said as I enjoyed the light breeze.
We came upon a clearing, and Tony glanced over at me, his eyes twinkling with playful mischief. “Remember that spin I promised you?” he asked, his voice soft and inviting. Without waiting for a response, he swept me into his arms with graceful ease.
I laughed spinning around and around as Tony practiced his moves. My head spun and I lost my balance, falling into him as we tumbled to the ground. The soft earth cushioned our fall, but all I felt was his body, closer than ever, under mine. For a moment we lay there, our fingers still entwined, his arm around my waist as I lay on his chest.
I felt his heart beat faster, strong enough to practically beat out of his chest. He let out an exhale, a warm puff of air that tickled and gave me a shiver as I felt it across my face and collarbone. “Are you alright?” he asked, his voice a low murmur, almost as if he was afraid to break the moment.
I looked up at him, the green of his eyes matching the forest, feeling my body cry out in need in a way I’d never felt before. My perfume was a strong cloud filling the air around us, and I was acutely aware of the other guys standing nearby, all three of them making me want things I’d never wanted before. “Um,yeah. I'm alright. I just have a few things I wanted to ask about.” I said, my voice husky as I considered what I was about to say.
“Anything. What do you want to know?”
Chapter 15
Jax
My gaze was locked on my packmate, his body under Safira’s in a position that made my pants tighten as my cock reacted. Somehow the vision of her on him in this fairly innocent setting was sexier than anything I’d ever imagined. Their closeness made every breath between them a shared secret, and I could only imagine the electricity they were feeling as their bodies felt each other this closely for the first time.
“I was just wondering,” she started, licking her lips and causing a low purr to erupt from both Kaden and I, “how common it was to have relationships with multiple people here.” Her eyes were transfixed on Tony’s lips, and I moved closer, so close I could see the shimmer of pale moonlight reflected in her eyes as her pupils grew. “I mean, an omega, with multiple male partners. It’s considered normal here, right?” She breathed out, and I could feel the unspoken question in the air. Tony reached up to push athick lock of her hair over her shoulder, letting his fingers graze the corner of her neck where it met her collarbone. She may not realize it yet, but that was the most perfect place on her body. The place where her scent gland was releasing her addictive fig and lotus perfume into the air, and the perfect place to leave our bite, to make her ours forever.
“Yes, it’s very normal for an omega to have multiple men. Healthy, in fact. Here, a pack is central to our way of life. It’s about harmony, not possessiveness.” Tony’s gentle explanation was perfect. Safira nodded, her eyelids heavy as she gazed down at him. I wanted her to be curious. I wanted her to tell us all of the aspects of a pack she was interested in, and I’d spend the rest of my life showing her how it worked.
“And no one gets jealous? For time spent together or…” Her gaze briefly flitted over to Kaden and me, “or, sexually?” I had to stop myself from dropping to my knees and showing her right then and there how well we shared. How well we would take care of her, and assure her that not only were we a great team, but we were alsoveryeager to please.
“No, in a pack we work as a team. No jealousy. And as for sex, well, individual or group, the focus is on the omega. Especially during a heat.” Tony’s words were low and dropping with lust now as he ran his hands down Safira’s back lightly. She shivered, and a fresh burst of her perfume filled the air. I bit back a growl and tried to remember that we couldn't do this with her, not here, not now. “But I’m sure for an omega like you, we’d be fighting for our time with you just like on the dance floor. All in good fun, of course.” Tony said with a sly smile, and I swallowed, watching her reaction to the idea being brought up that we couldbe a pack for her. Her breaths grew shallow, and I could almost see the heat waves radiating off of them.
“So, when my heat comes, they told me I need to find an alpha, or several, to help me through it. They say I will want to be intimate with them, and if I don’t find anyone, they will set me up with a pack.” She said as she bit her lip. I hated the idea of her being with any other pack. I wanted to rush over and convince her that whatever she needed, we would gladly provide, over and over and over.
“So I was just wondering,” she started, hesitating and looking away from us to the ground. She was too shy to say what she wanted.
“Yes. Whatever you need, the answer is yes.” Tony blurted out. Safira looked up at him, her eyes large and vulnerable.
“My heat?” she asked quietly. Kaden and I rushed over, kneeling on either side of them.
“Safira, whatever you want, if you want us for a heat, for friendship, for more…” I offered, wanting to offer her the world. She looked up at me, her lips parted as another cloud of perfume burst into the air.
“I really, really want you.” She said, and it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever heard.
“Not as much as we want you!” Tony said, and Kaden smacked his arm.
“Don’t scare her!” Kaden scolded, but Safira was grinning.
“I don’t know what it is, but ever since I arrived, I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind. I always wondered about you, but now, being around you, I just…” She didn’t end her sentence, but she didn’t need to.
“Safira, we feel the same way. We were just hoping you did as well.” I said as she sat up on Tony’s torso. “We’ve never felt this way about anyone, ever. So if you want us to help you through the heat, we’d be honored.” I said, hoping she’d want more than that.
“I only trust you three. And I really, really like you guys. Most of all, I trust you.” she added, pulling at her hair nervously. She was adorable, perfect, and meant for us. I was sure of it.
“We can make that happen. Just give us some time to set it up.” I said, and she nodded. “But for now, let’s celebrate.”
Chapter 16
Tony
I was walking slightly behind everyone, my erection so hard that it was almost painful. But I tried to play it cool as we walked the rest of the way to the country club, looking down at my suit as I tried to assess whether or not they’d let me in. Not only had I been sprayed with mud earlier, but I’d also been laying in the grass with Safira in that magical moment where she mentioned the possibility of being with us, not just for a heat, but for more. I now had dirt, mud, and grass on my suit from the day's excursions. If I wasn’t mistaken, I also had a spot of Safira’s slick from when she was laying on me earlier. If that were the case, I’d probably never wash these pants again.
