Page 44 of Where There's Smoke
“You’re incredible, Melody.” I lowered my forehead to hers, breathing in her scent. “Such a good omega for us.”
“So does this mean we are a thing?” Melody asked in a small voice. She was pressed between us in bed, wrapped up in severalblankets as we all came down from our collective high. She had extracted herself from my knot before snuggling into our chests.
“This means whatever you want it to mean,” I said. “I think I speak for both me and the big guy when I say we're both obsessed with you and would love to have many, many repeats of this.”
“I completely agree,” Samson said in that thick, rumbly voice.
“But we are going to take this at your pace. If you want to give this a title, then we'll give it a title. If you want to use us as two convenient knots while you figure out this omega business, then we happily volunteer.”
“You declared we were dating the last time you knotted me,” she pointed out.
“Well, in my mind, we are a unit now, but I was trying not to scare you off!” I laughed, pulling her in for a hug. She wrapped her leg around me, her slick pussy pressing up against my abdomen, making my cock twitch. If we hadn't just overwhelmed her with two knots, I would have been begging for another round.
When it came to Melody Smoke, apparently I was insatiable.
“How did you find being with two alphas?” Samson asked gently, kissing her shoulder.
Melody looked thoughtful for a moment. “A lot easier than I imagined. A lot more fun as well…”
That made us chuckle.
“Fuck, you smell so sweet when you’re turned on.” I groaned, burying my face in her neck. When I pulled away, I could see her pout. “What's that face for?”
“I wish I could smell you guys. Like, really smell you guys. I get the faintest hints every now and then, but my nose is still all messed up.”
“It will just take time. In almost all cases like this, the person gets their sense of smell back eventually.”
“But I want it back now,” she whined.
Samson lightly smacked her ass, making her jump. “Patience, omega.”
“That isn’t one of my strong suits,” she grumbled.
“We know.” I chuckled. “You’re practically crawling up the walls, waiting to get back to work on the recue.”
Melody sighed dramatically, snuggling into us. “There’s so much I want to do. I’m trying to look at this as a fresh start. I can set up the rescue the way I want to.”
“Didn’t you do that the first time?” Samson asked.
“I did, but that was when I first started working with animals. I’ve learned so much since then. Like, how there are much better ways to lay out the kennels. Also, I want a sink in the cat room. Carrying a grumpy cat across the building to get a butt bath is a surprisingly difficult task.”
Samson started lightly running his hand through her hair, making her hum in happiness. “If you had unlimited funds, what would you build?”
“Ugh. So much. I would get a kitten incubator. For babies who don’t have their mamas. Only, those are expensive, so I usually just monitor the crap out of them instead. Also, you know they have these little drying machines for cats? They are so amazing. For the dogs, I would love to have more space. Kennels with more levels and areas they can explore. Also more vet equipment. There will always be a need for that.”
As Melody spoke, her voice became increasingly enthusiastic, her face lighting up. I had never seen her as happy as when she discussed rescuing animals. She really was a sweet soul, and I desperately wanted to protect and support her.
In the back of my mind, I was already thinking about all the good she could do with my family’s money.
“We will help you build your place again,” I assured her.
She smiled. “Thank you. Rune and his pack have also offered to help, which I am so thankful for because I am going to need all the help I can get.”
My hand gently trailed along her thigh as Samson spoke. “You’ll get all the help, sweet girl.”
“How did you meet Rune, by the way?” I asked.
“His bunny! A few years back, he rescued this adorable little black baby from a fire. She was a little banged up and needed oxygen, so he brought her to me, and I stayed up for three straight days to care for her. Rune adopted her, and she’s living her best life now. You know the guy even built a herb garden so that fluffball would have a balanced diet?”
