“Aaand there’s the heat flare taking over. Looks like rational Riley has left the building.” Cash’s bright blue gaze caught mine. “Do you actually need me to leave or are you gonna take care of our girl?”
“Uh, nope. I’m good. Your job is to keep her quiet, then.”
Cash cradled her throat with one hand and claimed her mouth with his, Riley giving me another one of those vicious squeezes. I fucked in hard, absolutely delighted that each thrust was punctuated by a tiny sound she couldn’t help but make. With Cash on board, I snared her hips in both hands, riding her exactly like she’d been craving. Every slick descent pulled me closer to the edge, every quake of her body as she shuddered through another rise practically demanding I give in.
Her hips slammed back impatiently as mine drove deep, her scream devoured by Cash as I poured every drop into her perfect cunt, my knot filling her up with a pressure that flicked my brain right off.
This wasn’t a long-standing fantasy, a desire I had harbored for years like Cash and Cooper, but it felt that way. Being buried in my omega, her pussy spasming around my knot, herwhimpers eagerly consumed by my packmate, was scratching a primal itch I hadn’t realized was so strong.
I rocked into her for the sheer pleasure of it. Couldn’t move a damn inch, and that was exactly what my alpha instincts wanted, for Riley to be right here where she belonged.
Riley’s pleasure had stormed through the bond, nearly unseating me. Almost coming on the back of a horse was not an event I thought would have happened today.
I’d barely left her for an hour, just to check in on a few things, and apparently that had been enough. I wasn’t really surprised when I swung open the barn door to finally find her after the big house had been empty. Instinct most likely drove her tofind Dakota or Levi when she couldn’t find me. My pack was her pack, and she trusted them, as much as she could without knowing them long, anyway.
Seeing her clinging to the stall gate, mid-fuck with Levi, had been hot as all hell. I’d already been turned all the way on with the bond feeding me a stream of Riley’s desire, but that sight had absolutely sealed my fate.
“How’s that, Riles? Feeling steadier?” I nuzzled her cheek. I already knew she was; I could feel it in my chest, but I figured talking might help draw her back to earth. “My girl just needed a knot to settle those pesky hormones.”
“Cash, I’m not a fucking horse you have to gentle.” She scoffed, but the simmering delight in the bond over my attention gave her away.
“I know, but you like it.”
She melted into my kiss, sweet and eager, her fire banked for the moment.
“I’ve been waiting years to dote,” I continued, “and I wasn’t prepared for how fucking cute you are when you’re a needy mess.”
Riley groaned, leaning harder against Levi, his arms wrapping snugly around her waist. “Can you take me into town for some emergency high-dose suppressants? I can’t be climbing all over your whole pack at all hours.”
“I promise the pack you’ve climbed on so far has no objection,” Levi said with a laugh.
She shivered when he pressed closer, nuzzling her until her purr snuck out.
“I do agree, though,” he said. “Slipping into heat flares probably feels pretty vulnerable.”
“Yeah. It’s not the most ideal.” She sucked in a sharp breath, moaning when Levi shifted to balance her weight better. “Fuck.”
Riley’s scent sweetened again, a vicious wave of desire roaring down the bond.
“Heat flare not over, honey bun? I’m not surprised, given how long the last one took to chill out.”
She looked at me with wide desperate eyes, and who was I to deny her silent plea? I hopped back over the gate, helping Levi navigate with Riley still trapped on his knot, until he was able to park his ass on a straw bale. I plucked off Riley’s boots before getting onto my knees and using Levi’s legs to keep her beautifully spread open.
The bond hummed with anticipatory delight, my girl squirming on Levi’s knot, her whole cunt glistening with slick. I licked up her thighs and Levi closed his hand over her mouth a hot second before I got my tongue on her clit. She bucked hard and Levi braced another hand against her stomach to keep her still.
This wasn’t the first knot I expected her to get stuck on after mine, but it was only a good sign that she was comfortable enough with Levi to let him help her through a heat flare. Would she have gone to Cooper if he hadn’t fucked off to wherever the hell he’d gone? His breakdown could stay his problem for a while longer. He’d come home when he was ready for comfort. We’d learned a long time ago not to follow him when he decided he needed space.
Riley locked her fingers in my hair.
Message received.
My girl was more than ready for me to eat her out in the barn. What the hell did she have against being treasured in a proper bed?
She was so sweet on my tongue. I couldn’t help but notice, now that I was at this level with actual light, that she had a little tattoo nestled in the soft spot next to her hip bone. Blue and purple lupines in a barrel. She had more, and I nudged up theedges of her tank top to snoop, catching glimpses of Montana wildflowers dancing up her ribs.
Her needy whine shot straight through me. I abandoned my survey of her skin to focus on more important matters. The unique twist of pleasure down the bond shifted and roiled the closer she got to her peak, snaking from her soul to mine. She rocked insistently on Levi’s knot, letting her clit glide over my tongue in the same motion.
So impatient.
