Page 39 of The Knotty Omega

A light knock on the door has me stirring, “Come in,” I call sleepily, burrowing my face into Ollie’s armpit.

Oooh. His scent is extra potent here.

“Hey CJ, would you happen to haveanyidea at all why the kitchen smells like one delectable omega and a puppy-like alpha—” My eyes crack open to see Archie standing in my open doorway, looking at the two of us with a glint in his eye. “Ohhhh. That’s why.”

Shit. Is he going to be jealous? Was what I did with him and Mattie in the backseat only okay because most of the pack was there? I would hate to have anyone feel betrayed…

“I’m not puppy-like,” Ollie mutters, trying to pull me closer.

But I sit up quickly, looking at Archie with wide eyes. “I couldn’t sleep, so I went downstairs for a snack. Ollie heard me and came down too. We didn’t have actual sex, we just—”

“Woah, woah. CJ,” Archie holds up his hands in a placating gesture. “You don’t have to explain anything to me, or to anyone else. You’re going to go at your own pace with each of us. We’re just happy you decided to give us a chance."

Relief fills my chest at his words and I find myself sinking down next to Ollie again.

“You’re more than welcome to join the cuddle party, brother, if Tink is okay with it,” Ollie says, yawning.

My cheeks redden, but I bite my lip as I look at Archie. His sleep pants do nothing to hide his growing erection, and his shirt pulls tight over the muscles of his shoulders. Even though he’s not as jacked as Titus, or even Ollie, he’s clearly toned as hell.

Archie comes over, the bed dipping as he sits on the edge and grabs my hand. “As much as I would love nothing more than to join this puppy pile, it’s my Sunday to make breakfast. I was just about to start when I caught the most delicious combination of scents.” He leans over and presses a kiss to my lips. “It’ll be ready in twenty if you guys want to get dressed and come down. I hear it’s gonna be a lazy day.”

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Having Cady in the house is…both weird and amazing. I can already see how she’s pulling us together. We all had dinner together last night. At thetable. I have no idea when the last time that happened was.

And in the car yesterday? Best ten minutes of my life. Playing CJ between Mattie and me like an instrument while I made her come on my fingers…no other car ride will ever live up. I waited an embarrassingly long amount of time to wash my hands after too, but Mattie finally convinced me.

I’m at the stove, cooking up pancakes for everyone when I feel a body at my back. “Mmmm it smells like our omega in here,” Mattie’s voice rumbles in my ear as he grinds his erection on my ass. “And…Ollie?”

“Hmmm,” I hum, tilting my ass up to reach him as I flip a pancake. “Seems like our little omega couldn’t sleep last night and snuck down for a midnight snack. Ollie…followed.”

Mattie purrs as he nips my ear. Ah, fuck. Now I have a boner while I’m making pancakes.

A fresh wave of orange blossoms and vanilla fill the area, having both Mattie and I whipping our heads to the side. Cady and Ollie are standing in the doorway. She looks downright adorable in a pair of my sweatpants, the drawstrings pulled tight, and one of Simon’s t-shirts. Her long, blonde hair is in a braid that falls over her shoulder, and her blue green eyes are filled with heat as they stay glued to where Mattie’s hard cock meets my ass. She obviously likes what she sees if her perfume is any indication. I wink at her before turning my head up to meet his lips in a dirty kiss.

CJ likes to watch? We’ll give her a show.

Mattie returns my kiss before swatting my ass and backing away. “Behave,cucciolo.”

“If I recall, I was just minding my own business making pancakes, when you started to grind on me, alpha.”

Mattie just rolls his eyes and goes to CJ, whose cheeks are now flushed with obvious desire. “I apologize,tesoro mio.We will try to be more aware of our public displays of affection.”

I roll my eyes. Did he not catch the wave of perfume when she saw us?

“No!” CJ says, too quickly. I suppress a chuckle as she shoots me a dirty look. “I just mean, it’s your own house. You should be able to do what you want. And I…uh…” She turns even more red. “I…”

“Oh,” Mattie’s voice is laced with understanding. “Did you enjoy what you saw,tesoro mio?”

Ollie snorts. “Shit. I’m not even into guys and I liked what I saw.” CJ nods in agreement.

Mattie just chuckles at Ollie’s antics and presses a brief kiss to CJ’s lips. “Then I suppose that is something to explore at a later date.”

Then he goes into the dining room, and I hear her mutter to herself, “Hopefully not too much later.”

I can’t hold back in my laugh this time, and Cady flushes a deeper red before she follows after him, and I can finally make my pancakes in peace.

When I bring the stacks of fluffy goodness into the dining room, all eyes are on the plates as I set them on the table. There’s already a mountain of bacon, fresh fruit, and scrambled eggs set out family-style. I may have gone all out, but it’s not every day your scent-matched omega has her first real meal with your pack.
