Brynn wrinkled his face adorably. “You’re not?”
“No,” I repeated. “Do you feel anger through the bond?”
“Well no. But you two are way better at controlling it than I am.”
That was true. It was probably years of having to temper all our feelings during lockup, but it came in handy now.
“We’ve known you were doing something in here,” Reeve admitted, his own flash of guilt coming through the bond. “We never went in, though. We wouldn’t do that.”
“You knew!” Brynn took a step back, his legs banging against the ledge that went around his nest. It was the first time I really took in the room since we came in, too focused on our mate. I had taken a brief glimpse of it that first night, before it truly became Brynn’s, and I was amazed at all the work he did. It looked homey and peaceful. It looked like ours.
“Yeah,” I admitted, running my hands up and down his bare sides. “We wanted to wait until you were ready to tell us. We didn’t want to rush you.” My hands grazed some kind of waistband. I looked down, sort of embarrassed that I didn’t even notice what Brynn was wearing, even after he admitted this was supposed to be a sexy surprise.
I pulled away just enough to look down and nearly lost it at the royal blue briefs he was wearing. They were mostly sheer, with a darker blue floral design. The fit was snug, making the outline of his cock and balls obvious.
“Goddess, did you wear this for us?”
Brynn nodded, his cheeks red. His tongue was peaking out of his lips, and I had a strong desire to nip at it. “Yeah, but then I ruined it.”
Reeve growled. “You ruined nothing, sweetness. Fuck, you look so good. Turn around for us?”
Brynn rewarded us with a small smile, and then did a slow turn, really putting on a show. He even finished it with an awkward little shimmy.
Reeve’s canine’s extended, and my eyes flashed blue. “Come here, little rabbit,” I all but growled. I couldn’t wait to bury my face in between those cheeks.
Brynn stopped me just as my fingers dipped below the waistband to pull down the briefs, “Wait!” I froze, eyes snapping to my mate.
“Sorry! I’m all about that plan. But–in the nest.”
He gestured to the pit. I finally climbed to my feet, and Reeve followed. The nest was a smorgasbord of colors and prints, blankets, pillows, plushies that looked disconcertingly like mine and Reeve’s wolves, and all the clothes that had mysteriously gone missing over the last month. It smelled like cinnamon and vanilla, and more faintly of caramel and apples, and I could not wait to take my mate inside that.
I went to pick him up, and again he stopped me. “Hang on, big guy. Let me say what I planned to say. I got all fucked up already, but, um this feels important.” I took one hand and Reeve took the other.
“What is it, sweetness? You know you can tell us anything.”
He sighed. “Yeah, I know. I um, I’ve been thinking, and the more I put my nest together the more it felt right. I want the two of you to bite me. Again.”
I tilted my head in confusion. “We bite you all the time.” Lovingly and consensually of course.
Brynn sighed again, this time heavily, “Not like that. Like a mate bond.” Before we could question if he was okay, because his two bonds shined like a beacon on his neck for the whole shifter world to see, he started talking again, “I know it won’t be real this time. But when you did it, nothing was in our control. We were all near death and being forced by a bunch of asshole humans. While I don’t regret it at all and am thrilled how my life turned out, I want to do it again, for us. The way it should’ve been like if we had control of the situation, and we were able to choose.” Then he met my eyes, “And this time, I’d really like you to knot me, Riv. That way I have the chance to feel each of you during the most special moment of my life.”
I was too dumbstruck to speak, beyond touched at my sweet mate’s thoughtfulness. I was completely fine with Reeve being the one to officially solidify the bond with Brynn, and I still was. I never felt left out, that wasn’t me. But now that Brynn had put the thought inside my head, I wanted it more than anything.
Reeve lightly kissed Brynn’s lips, his expression filled with love. “That is an amazing and thoughtful gesture, baby. I love the idea, and I know Riven does, too.”
Hearing my name brought my brain back on line. One second I was standing a few inches away from Brynn, and the next he was in my arms, bridal style, and I was climbing the wall and into the nest. Reeve was right behind me, and by the time I had Brynn laid out like a feast for us, he was kneeling astride him, sucking on one nipple. Brynn arched his back–our omega loved nipple play both on him and sucking on ours–and since the other one was right there beautifully presented for me, I sucked it into my mouth.
“Fuck! Riven. Reeve.” Grinning, I gently teased the nipple with my teeth before licking and sucking down his body. Reeve was doing the same thing on the other side, as we worshiped our omega, giving him everything he didn’t get the first time around.
I nuzzled the soft fabric of the briefs and licked the wet spot where our omega’s dick leaked freely. The scent of slick filled the air, and one hand sliding down the back of his briefs showed that he was leaking freely from there as well.
“Fuck, you’re so ready for us.”
Brynn nodded, already a little lust drunk. “T-take them off. I have one more surprise for you.”
We didn’t need to be told twice. We almost ripped off the underwear trying to get it off him. “Let me see that pretty hole, sweetness,” Reeve said gruffly. “What other surprises do you have for us?”
With a small moan, Brynn put his hands under his knees and put them to his chest, exposing his hole for us…and the royal blue gemstone that was planted firmly in between his cheeks.
