“You got it, baby,” Soren said, kissing my cheek beforeleaving the nest with Lucas and Lachlan.

“Can I stick around as long as I promise not to help?” Ben asked sweetly from the doorway where he was lounging.

“Fine, but no talking either,” I said, glaring at him. For some reason, the pillow arrangement of this room was now the most important thing in my life.

I wrestled the new squashy pillows into their covers and messed around with their placement until I was happy. I flopped down into the center of the mattress and wiggled into the new duvet.

“What are you doing?” Ben asked, laughing.

“It doesn’t smell right, it smells likenothing,” I said. “Can you help me?”

“Yeah, but I’ll be right back,” he said, leaving me to wallow in my nest. He returned a few minutes later with an armful of shirts, leading Lachlan, who was also carrying a similar load.

“Stinky shirts,” Ben said, tossing them into the nest. “This should help with the smell problem.”

I grabbed the nearest one and took a deep inhale, moaning at the juicy watermelon scent. I stuffed it into the mound of pillows and grabbed another, huffing in Soren’s grapefruit and hops. Lachlan tossed in his load of shirts, and his and Lucas’s scents mixed in the air. Like a gremlin, I stashed their dirty laundry all around the nest until it smelledright, like a mix of everyone.

I collapsed back in the center of the nest with a satisfied sigh.

“Permission to board, Captain?” Ben said from his perch near the door. Lachlan was behind him, smiling crookedly.

“Permission granted, as long as you don’ttouchanything,” I said.

“I can’t touchanything?” He said, flopping on the mattress next to me. “Not even the Captain?” He walked his fingers from my foot to my calf, up to my thigh.

“You can come in, too,” I told Lachlan, smiling now. “Sorry for the slight freakout.”

Lachlan landed on the mattress on my other side with much more grace than Ben. He kissed my nose. “Nesting instincts are normal. So no apology necessary,” he said.

I sighed in contentment, basking in the feeling of accomplishment for creating a space I loved and felt comfortable in. It smelled amazing now, especially with the two Alphas next to me. I felt heat stirring inside me, and a flush broke out across my chest. It swept down my whole body and I gasped at the sudden need that coursed in its wake.

“You okay, sweetheart?” Ben asked, stopping the idle tracing of patterns on my inner thigh. I was gasping for air again.

Lachlan looked slightly alarmed. “Maggie, are you alright?”

I shook my head and stripped off the t-shirt I was wearing. “Hot,” I said simply. “So hot.” I felt like my skin was turning inside out again, like if I didn’t have someone’s cock in or around me in the next five seconds I was going to implode. I couldn’t articulate that at the moment.

“What can I get you? What do you need?” Lachlan asked.

“You,” I gasped and rolled on top of him.

Chapter 33

Ben

Maggie captured Lachlan’s mouth and rolled her hips against him.Heat spike, I thought. We’d have had more warning if it were her actual heat.

“Oh fuck,” I said, watching as Lachlan gripped her hips to grind against her. My cock was already hard thanks to Maggie’s perfume.

Maggie broke her kiss with Lachlan, panting. She turned to me and her gaze was almost feral. Lachlan looked like he was barely keeping himself in check.

“Can I help, sweetheart?” I moved towards them and captured her lips while Lachlan continued his grinding thrusts beneath her. Maggie gasped and I slid my tongue to twine with hers. She tasted incredible, like sunwarmed peaches. I got impossibly harder listening to her little breathy moans.

“More, please,” Maggie whined. She broke our kiss and ground down on Lachlan with more purpose. Her hands slid up the sides of her body to grip her breasts. She tipped her head back to moan and my cock jumped in response.

Lachlan jolted into motion, rolling her beneath him and stripping off her leggings. I helped her take off her bra and blew cool air across her nipples. The peaks tightened and she moaned again.

I watched Lachlan spread her legs and kiss her inner thigh. “Fuck, love, you’re so gorgeous,” he said, staring down at her pussy. Then he swept his eyes up her body to where I was teasing her nipples. His gaze met mine, and his pupils were blown wide with lust. I wanted to give him a show, so I broke his gaze and leaned down to suck gently on one of Maggie’s nipples.
