Page 14 of All That We Keep
I realize how much I miss just getting home and crawling into a lap or getting bent over and fucked silly.
I misstaking.
Luther thrusts one last time up into me, his knot fully expanding and locking us together as I coat Luca’s shirt, the fabric soaked fully through. It clings to his belly, my Omega’s eyes wild with satisfaction as he sits back, admiring my release on his hands. His scent blooms through the room as his lips part, his eyes rolling into the back of his head before he meets my gaze again and it takes me an embarrassingly long time to realize that he came untouched.
“Cupcake, did you just come?”
He just grins, sucking one of his fingers into his mouth. “It doesn’t take much these days and watching you fall apart always does it but we haven’t… it’s been a while.”
I frown at that, making a mental note that denying myself has also been denying my mates. Luther’s hands slide up and down my sides, bringing me down from my high. “You’re mine,” he growls, a possessive edge to his words. “Both of you. No one’s taking you from me.” Even connected, he raises me up as much as he can and then drops me onto his lap, his knot thrusting further up into me as it expands a little more.
A claiming roar tears from his throat, echoing through the nest as he finally releases inside of me, pulse after pulse filling me up.It feels all consuming through the bond, eradicating the fear and panic that tried to overtake me from before. My body shudders with the force of it, Luca just staring with his tongue still attached to his palm licking off my release, his cheeks flushed.
When the sound dies down, I sag back against Luther’s chest, completely spent. “I haven’t been fucked like that in a while.”
“Again, again,encore,” Luca teases.
Luther chuckles. “Sweetheart,” he says, his gaze shifting to Luca, “you’re next.” Luca’s cheeks flush a deeper red, the scent of arousal blooming through the room again. Our Alpha wraps a protective hand around my stomach as he resituates me on his lap. “Coming up here with you wasn’t all about your new designation, Blake. After finding out about Hudson, I needed both of you. I needed to be near you, with you, inside of you. I didn’t like knowing Hudson was that fucking close to our house. If it takes me fucking both of you all night long to feel like you’re still safe, I will.”
I laugh, the sound turning into a groan as another small pulse of pleasure ripples through me, my body clenching around Luther’s knot. “Don’t you have work or something?” I tease, my body and my scent betraying my words.
Luther’s lips curve into a smirk, his hand sliding up to cup my cheek as he twists me around to meet his gaze. “My mates come first. Besides, it’syourcompany, love, and I told them the boss might be a little incapacitated for a bit.”
I snort and roll my eyes, my body already loosening around Luther’s knot. “The launch is in less than two weeks! Luther—”
“You have three mates with knots. I’m tempted to call them up here and have you filled and knotted for the foreseeable future. No talk of work until I’m done with the both of you.” Luther slowly pulls me off his cock, an obscene amount of slick and cum slipping between my thighs. He sets me beside him, Luca already scurrying forward for his own turn. “You have until Ifuck Luca to sleep to catch your breath and then I’m fucking you again.”
I kind of want to argue. Just for the fun of it. Instead, I just say, “Yes, Alpha,” because fuck, I kind of like this version of Luther.

Hearing them fuck upstairs was fun for the first thirty minutes but realizing that they weren’t going to finish any time soon meant I had to leave. I was hard and on edge and I needed an outlet. I also knew that Blake needed time to decompress and adding more horny knots to the mix wasn’t the answer.
More time with the adorable Keller Alpha, though,definitelywas.
However, now I’m at a nesting store, staring at a wall of pillows that are all some version of orange, ranging from burnt tangerine to electric pumpkin, and none of them look like what Luca described when he listed colors the first time we shopped for pillows weeks ago. I’ve already made two trips, one with watchet blue pillows and electric chartreuse blankets. My eyes hurt but Luca mentioned orange or pink, granted, I’m a littleconfused on the exact color he asked for. Blake doesn’t care so long as it’s soft.
I look down at the list and groan, realizing it’s ‘sunset yellow’ I’m looking for.Fuck.
My gaze travels over to Grayson who’s running his fingers along a velvet blanket that looks a different shade each time it’s touched. The pure happiness on his face eases my frustration but not by much. “How the fuck are you not ticked off with all this?”
Grayson turns to me with a knowing smile that carries just a hint of exasperation. "Because the look of absolute joy Luca gets when he starts placing all this around his nest is worth it, not to mention when Blake finally gives into his instincts as well. This also might be the last nest they make together. Deltas don’t always make nests but with another Omega in the pack, they tend to share. It just depends so I want to make this one special.”
I hadn’t even thought about that. I was kind of swept up with my own designation bullshit and realizing how much of it made sense. In one evening, my entire world just kind of exploded but in a good way. I kind of hate that I never knew. I wouldn’t have had to suffer the way I had but I also wouldn’t have ended up with the Kellers. “You think we’re staying in your parents’ house, don’t you?”
Grayson nods as he drags his hands through his hair before pulling it into a ponytail. “I do. It’s a little bit more out of the way and we don’t have to deal with a reception or anyone else. We started looking into houses at some point but that died off. Now with the babies… the main place just isn’t big enough and we wouldn’t have anything set up fast enough. Fuck, we didn’t even ask…”
I just smile, shaking my head as I move closer to him. “Deep breaths, Grayson. It’s fine. I like the idea and I think it’s perfect. Your parents might have been a little paranoid with all of the locks but it means that the babies will grow up safe.” I reach upto cup the side of his neck, the Alpha tensing in shock before leaning into my touch. “One day, it’ll be the five of us with all of our children… one day when my bite will be on your shoulder too.”
I’ve been dreaming about that for a while. Ever since I became an official part of the pack. Ever since Grayson fell apart between Luther and I in their kitchen.
A blush creeps up his neck, my cock thickening in my pants as his scent thickens. The reaction is so genuine and unguarded that it hits me right in the chest with want.
"Fuck, I love that color on you," I say, my voice dropping a few octaves lowers.
Grayson clears his throat and deliberately turns back toward the pillow display, though I can see him fighting a smile. "Focus on the goddamn pillows, Maceo. Luca specifically said sunset yellow, and this entire section is sunburnt orange. We're in the wrong aisle." He shoots me a look that's half accusatory and half amused. "You suck at this."
