“It's not that bad,” Kaleb argues. “So, to recap, little to no sex and a calm atmosphere for the next several weeks. That's not going to work. Jasper is due to go into heat in around three weeks, and we all know how that goes.”
 
 Alex and I exchange a look. During Jasper's last heat we were out of the nest with Talia. Jasper could probably get by with only three alphas because he's much less volatile during his heat than Talia is; but the problem is Talia herself. She won't let him be anything less than properly and fully cared for, which is a problem because she's due to go into labor the week after his heat. It is very unfortunate timing.
 
 Trent speaks up before Alex or I say anything. “He won't leave the manor with her so close to having the babies, or I'd suggest taking him to the farmhouse. Talia wouldn't go for that, anyway; and she'd probably beat my ass for even suggesting it. Devon, Kaleb, and Nathan can handle him. Reid can tag in if he needs to. The rest of us will be out of the nest to make sure Talia is alright and she'll just have to be sour about it. And she's not allowed in the nest. I'll keep her out of it myself. Nathan's sisters said start hardcore nesting about two or three weeks before they have babies, and they do a lot of sleeping the week leading up to birthing. Hopefully Talia will be the same way. And hopefully Jasper's heat will be on the shorter side this time.”
 
 Trent has surprised me a few times since we joined our packs. I'm used to thinking of him as a younger version of Alex, complete with a food obsession and an affinity for the ridiculous. But there have been a few instances when Trent has taken charge and been selfless in situations where I'd expect him to add to one of his many lists of grievances. “I think that's a solid plan, Trent. I'm going to take dinner upstairs.”
 
 I grab the three covered plates of what was labeled a ham and cheese bake and put them on a tray with a bowl of diced apples and walnuts drizzled with honey and head upstairs. I stop short in the hallway when I hear Nathan choke out the words oh godin a way that doesn't suggest being in any amount of pain. If Talia and Jasper are happy enough to play with him and he's well enough to be played with I won't be the one to interrupt. I smile and turn around. When I get back to the kitchen with the tray still full of food, Reid's brows pinch together and he gestures toward the food.
 
 “They're awake, and occupied.”
 
 “Well, let's light a candle for Nathan, then, because he's never been on the receiving end of both of them,” Trent says and starts in on his food.
 
 Chapter thirty-one
 
 Talia
 
 “Oh god...fuck...”
 
 I smile around the head of Nathan's cock. Jasper is sucking and licking his balls, and Nathan's got enough length that there's enough room for both of us to grip his shaft. The muscles that make up his thighs and stomach are twitching and clenching every time one of us sucks even just a little. Our poor, wounded alpha might be a little overwhelmed.
 
 We woke up about half an hour ago when we smelled the ham and cheese bake I put up in the freezer and Jasper and I decided Nathan needed a little extra attention, after we made sure he was up to it. I also need the stress relief that making his toes curl provides. That's not even an omega perk, that's just something that I personally enjoy. Something about hearing him, or any of the others, wound up in their pleasure brings me and my ever-ready pussy immense joy. After last night I need all the joy and stress relief I can manage.
 
 Jasper licks up the underside of Nathan's cock. When his tongue brushes against my lips, I slide my mouth over to suck on the other side of the swollen head and it quickly turns into Jasper and I kissing each other around it. Nathan's hips buck up off the bed and he makes a series of sharp little moans. I give him one last lick and pull off, letting Jasper continue. “How's your shoulder? Is it hurting too much? Is this too much stress?”
 
 “What?”
 
 I give his shaft a little squeeze, bringing my fist up to meet Jasper's mouth. “Your shoulder. Does it hurt right now?”
 
 He has to think for a moment, but he eventually answers. “It's fine. Please, please don't stop. Will you do that again? What you just did? With both of you?”
 
 I laugh and go back to giving Jasper sloppy, wet kisses with Nathan throbbing and leaking between our mouths. Nathan is making the most delicious sounds, and lets out a string of curses when I lower my hand to play with his balls.
 
 Jasper pulls off of Nathan with a little pop. “You know what I like for Talia to do when she gives me a blowjob? None of you do it to me, which is actually pretty surprising.”
 
 “Oh god,” Nathan says for the twentieth time, looking down his body at Jasper. “What?”
 
 Jasper licks back down Nathan's length. “You're either going to really like this, or you're not. I think you'll love it.”
 
 Ah. I'm glad I insisted on a very careful shower before I dragged Nathan into the bed. I smirk up at Nathan, “put your leg over my hip, handsome.”
 
 “It's too heavy. It'll push on your stomach.”
 
 “Do what I said, Nathan.” I bend my head and suck a mark over his hip. “Trust me.”
 
 He's hesitant, but he hitches his leg over my hip, being ridiculously careful to keep off of my stomach. Then he makes a sound that's close to a yip.
 
 “Be still, baby,” Jasper croons. “That was just air. I'm going to lick it soon. Tell me if you want me to stop.”
 
 “Jesus. Fuck. God. Fuck.”
 
 I'm trying to suck him back into my mouth, but I can't help giggling. Jasper absolutely loves it when I give his asshole extra attention when I'm working him over with my mouth. I don't even need to really lick him half the time before he's writhing all over the bed. And the sounds he makes, fuck I could cum just listening to him. I'm pretty sure Trent has gotten off listening to us on more than one occasion. “Tell me what Jasper's doing to you. Describe it for me while I suck your cock.”
 
 “Oh god, Talia. Please. I can't. Don't. I can't take it.” Then he makes a noise that's a cross between a huff and a gasp.
 
 “You don't want me to suck your cock?” Maybe I'm mean, but playing with Nathan like this with Jasper, teasing him, is probably one of the most fun things I've ever done. I give him a lick that's almost not there and run a fingertip up the side of his over-sensitive length.
 
 “Yes. No. Oh, fuck.”
