Page 38 of Finding the Forward: Part One

My hand danced across the page as the lines slowly came together, creating an image. My bedroom had gigantic corner windows looking out over the city, which made for brilliant light in the daytime. Tonight, I had on my drawing lamp as I sketched at my art table.
The room was a mix of warm browns, reds, and oranges, with an enormous bed and a plethora of throw pillows. A cozy chair sat in the corner by a big cabinet with all my supplies. Net curtains and lights sectioned off my loft nest above my closet.
Hmmm. I paused, looking at my sketch. What did it need?
“It’s late. We have to be at the rink in the morning, Love.” Jonas leaned in the doorway, only in boxers, hair wet.
“I’m trying to wait up for Grif so I can hear about hisdate.” Ugh, I couldn’t believe he’d kept her all to himself tonight. I’d been tempted to look up his location and join them.
Instead, I’d pumped the rest of the Knights for info on her in the group chat. It blew up after Carlos posted a picture of her and Grif in the ice bath together. Apparently, she’d been around since the end of August. Some players knew her from all the time she spent at the training center with her little sister.
How had we missed her?
“My door’s open if you want me.” Jonas came over and gave me a goodnight kiss. His mossy scent surrounded me. He eyed the sketch of them in the ice bath. “That is incredible. But I think they were wearing clothes in the pictures.”
“It’s more fun to draw them naked,” I laughed. Everything was better without clothes. “Good night, Babes.”
He gave me another kiss and left. I continued sketching until another familiar scent tickled my nose.
“You’re up, Jellybean? It’s so late.” A sleepy but happy Grif came into my room and kissed me.
“Did you have fun, Gumdrop?” I cupped his bearded face with my hand. He smelled of driftwood and pizza.Yum.
“So much fun. We had coffee. I took her to that little Thai place AJ likes. Then we went to her apartment, and I ate her out on the counter. We fucked. When her sister came home, we ordered pizza.” His eyes gleamed with happiness.
“Oooh, do tell?” I wanted to hear all about it. Now I also craved a warm and gooey slice of cheesy pizza.
“It had the cheesy crust. Wow, that’s amazing. I should hang that in my locker.” His eyes fell on the picture. “Though we were wearing clothes. Shower with me, and I’ll go into more detail?”
I’d already showered, but why not? “Sounds great.”
Yes, tell me all the details.
His step held a lightness as he led me out of my room and into his. Grif’s room had a window seat. A swing hung in the corner next to his bookshelves. Everything was done in dark green and navy, the cover on his bed plaid.
“How did you have her?” I peeled off his sweatshirt and shirt. Mmmm, it smelled like her. I’d have to steal it.
“Against the wall. She likes it when I’m in charge.” His eyes gleamed as he turned the water on, the shower filling with the double spray.
Even when we were kids, Grif liked to be in charge. He was the leader, the peacekeeper, the problem solver, and had been team captain our last year at BosTec.
“Show me,” I breathed as we got in under the spray of the double shower heads.
He pushed me against the shower wall. His hand curled around my throat with the perfect amount of pressure. Grif’s mouth conquered mine as his large body pinned me to the tile.
Fuck, that’s hot.My ass clenched, and I slicked a little, my omega perfume filling the small space.
“She’s absolutely willing to share you.” He lubed up his fingers with the bottle we kept in the shower and started working my ass.
Sure, as an omega, I was self-lubricating, but a little extra never hurt. A needy whine leaked from my throat at his ministrations.Yes, please.
“She’s never been with two people at once. Also, get this...” He nuzzled my neck near the silvery bite mark from when Jonas had claimed me.
“What?” My eyes closed as he slipped another finger inside me.
“She has a thing for big omegas,” he whispered. “Kitten’s not a beta. She’s an alpha. She was hiding her designation on the plane.”
