“Are you having naughty dreams, gorgeous?” His voice is so close, too close to match the image of him still floating before me. I turn my head, but nothing changes. “You want me to take care of you, Omega? Open those pretty green eyes for me.”
Open my eyes? Following his command, I blink. Once, twice, before the soft light of my nest swims into focus. The warmth of Nexus’ arm around my waist and resting between my thighs wasn’t just part of the dream. He literally has his hand in my sleep shorts.
Part of me, the pieces still upset by him leaving me last time I was in heat, protests his actions. They demand I push him away and take care of myself. The needier, omega part of me takes control though. He’s our alpha. It’s his job to take care of us.
“Nex,” I whine, my hips grinding against his palm.
The bed shifts as he leans up on one elbow so he can see my face. “Good morning, sweet girl.” His lips press to my temple, lingering there. “What do you need me to do? You want my fingers? My mouth?” He doesn’t offer his cock or knot, waitingfor me to be ready to take that step outside of us bonding to save my life.
“I-I don’t know, I–”
“Okay,” he whispers. His fingers dip lower, swirling in the slick pooling in my underwear before circling my clit. When I’m writhing in his arms, quietly asking for more, he slides two thick digits into my core.
The small stretch feels amazing, and it gets even better when his knuckles rub against the spot where his knot would swell. I clench down around him, trying to pull him in further.
“Such a sweet little cunt, trying to lock around me. My needy girl deserves an orgasm to rock her world this morning, doesn’t she?”
“Please,” I beg.
His thumb presses harder against my clit while his fingers drag in and out of me. It’s exquisite pleasure, but I need more. I need– “Nexus!” I mewl. He bites his bond mark hard enough to send me flying over the edge. Shooting stars burst across my vision as I explode around him, squeezing so tight he can barely move his fingers.
“There you go. That’s my perfect girl, coming so prettily for your Alpha.”
He brings me down slowly until I’m relaxed and panting beside him. My eyes are riveted to him as he brings his hand from my shorts and licks my release from his fingers. The obscene image has my thighs tensing with another wave of arousal.
“Fucking delicious.” He smirks down at me, his rich brown eyes full of a hunger I’m sure is reflected in my own green orbs.
A knock at the nest door stops us from taking things further. Something I know I will be grateful for later, no matter how annoying I find the disruption now. “Rise and shine, breakfast is waiting!” Nebula calls through the wood.
I glance across the room to the small digital clock I’d put on the bookshelf. How is it already almost time for us to leave for their show?
“Come on, gorgeous, let’s go eat. Then you can grab a quick shower before we have to head to Buffalo.” Nexus crawls off the bed, his bubbly ass swaying with each step forward. Damn, do I love his ass. My omega preens each time she sees it, urging me to sink my teeth into the pale flesh.
When he chuckles, my eyes fly to his. He’s watching me over his shoulder with a sultry smirk stretched across his lips. I toss one of the many pillows at him, ignoring the way my cheeks burn with embarrassment.
It’s been a task getting used to the connection between us. I’m getting better at not flooding him with my every emotion, but it isn’t something I’ve mastered yet. Hopefully, I can control myself during their show tonight so he isn’t rocking a hard-on for the crowd.
An hour later, we are climbing into one of the label’s cars with two members of the guy’s security team. Their masks are carefully packed in a box in the back for them to put on when we reach the outskirts of Buffalo. It’s only a five hour drive, so they opted to skip using their tour bus for the trip.
Something I am fine with. I don’t know if I’m ready to face the memories we have there. Not when my head is still a convoluted mess about everything that has happened between the five of us.
“So,” Nebula says a few minutes after we’ve started driving. “Since we will be so close, we thought we could rent a car tomorrow and drive up to visit Niagara Falls.”
“Have you ever been?” Callisto asks.
“The Powell’s took Bea and I once, the summer after our second year at the academy. Every time we had a longer breakthey’d take time off and we’d go on little road trips like that. What about the four of you? Have you visited the park?”
“We have not,” Callisto admits with a shy smile. “Silly since it’s only a few hour’s drive from Starburgh. We just haven’t made the time for the trip yet.”
“We should definitely go then. It’s beautiful! And there are a few awesome food spots State side we could visit too.” I grin at him. When Bea and I had gone we’d visited this cute little food truck that serves an awesome Peri Peri chicken! I bite back a giggle imagining Nexus trying it. My alpha mate deserves a little pain to make up for leaving me, doesn’t he?
“I’ll book the car,” Nebula agrees. He pulls out his phone and quickly gets distracted planning our side trip.
We enjoy the rest of the drive to Buffalo playing silly games like Would You Rather or the Alphabet game. As we approach the edge of the city, Titan shifts back and grabs the box with their masks. Tucked inside are also zip-up hoodies in their size.
A shiver runs up my spine as they pull the masks on, obscuring their faces and pulling me back into the illusion their music creates. No longer am I sitting among the men of Pack Graves, it is Primordial Covenant with me now.
Nexus gives me a Cheshire grin when he senses the flow of appreciation and arousal in our bond. Heat floods my cheeks, most likely turning my skin bright red. I didn’t even think about how our connection would let him feel exactly how much I love them with their masks on.
