Page 27 of The Alpha: Part Three
Between Seth and Michael, I find that little bit more in the next few breaths, right before Seth snarls and drives into me one last time, baring his teeth through his release. He reaches up and wraps his fingers in my hair to pull me down for a kiss that is in direct contrast to the intensity of his orgasm. Then he shifts under me, making me frown into his kiss; but Michael is right there to take his place and the difference between them makes me gasp. Michael is gentle when he pushes inside me and I feel the very edge of a wince no matter how careful he's being with me. I'm probably going to be very sore after this and I'm very glad that I have the next three days off of work. That thought isn't enough to stop me from wanting Michael's knot, though.
Seth presses his forehead against mine. “I'll be right back with dinner.”
I might pass right out after dinner. A rabid libido isn't enough to combat the exhaustion beginning to wind around me.
“Don't worry, baby,” Michael purrs, gripping my hips to stabilize us as Seth moves from underneath me. “I can feel how tired you are. I know you need this, but you need rest, too. We'll take care of you.” Then he starts a gentle rhythm, sliding his length inside me slowly and carefully, over and over again, and I forget all about how tender I'm going to be later.
Michael bends over me to kiss one of the marks on my shoulder and whisper against my skin. “It's a little different now. When you're in heat you won't let us be easy like this. You want everything we've got every single time. It's all we can do to keep up with what you need. I love it. I'm so glad you want us like this now, I was worried you wouldn't feel up to it.” He licks across the mark, causing my body to jerk against him. “Tell me if this is too much.” Then he starts pushing his knot past my entrance.
The stretch has me hissing, gasping, digging my fingers into the sheets and blankets. “Don't stop, Michael,” I moan, arching back into him. “Don't stop.”
He kisses the side of my neck and circles his hips, working his knot deeper. “Never. Not as long as you want it.”
When he's seated deep inside me, he switches from a gentle circling to a slow rocking motion. Every movement forces him to press or rub deliciously inside me and I find myself whimpering his name with almost every breath.
“I love hearing you say my name like that, Desie,” he purrs. “Don't stop. Don't ever stop.”
I feel his knot swell just a little more and then his hips stutter with his orgasm. He kisses my back between my shoulder blades and runs his hands over my sides as he purrs his contentment. I'm purring, too. This is exactly what I needed.
I don't know how I can do this for a week, though. My thighs are trembling and my insides are twitching. It's no wonder we're all so exhausted when my heat lifts.
“Move with me,” Michael says softly, using my hip to pull me down with him so that we're both lying on our sides. “Do you think it will hurt anything?”
“Hurt anything?”
“My knot. All this fucking we just did. Is it too much? Will it hurt you or the baby? We haven't knotted you since your heat and I don't know.”
I'd laugh if I wasn't so exhausted. “No, Michael. It won't hurt anything. If anything it helps. We'll have to be more careful towards the last few weeks, but it shouldn't hurt anything.”
“Good,” he sighs. “Because I don't think I'm going to be able to keep my hands off of you when you really start showing.”
Chapter twelve
Seth
“It's been ten weeks,” Desir'ee announces. “It can't be avoided any longer. We have to tell my family.”
We decided to wait until she was at least nine weeks before we told her family that we're expecting a baby. The exact words wereourfamilies, but I'm still having a hard time calling Talia's pack my family no matter how often Desir'ee and the twins call them that. I don't think anyone minds being regarded as family. Well, almost anyone. Jasper and Devon might not be overly excited about it, but the rest of them haven't complained when it's been said once or twice during phone calls.
Desir'ee said that nine weeks was far enough into the pregnancy that she felt safe making the announcement. Ben, Michael, and I will follow her lead. She's the one carrying our baby inside her and she's the one who will bring the baby into the world, she gets to make the decisions. If she said we're not telling anyone until the kid is five years old, that's what we'd do. I'm glad that's not what she wants to do, but the point is that it's up to her.
“We can go over and tell them in person if you want,” I nod. “I need to talk to Mateo about something anyway.”
“What do you need to talk to him about?”
“Just something I've been thinking about. Want to head on over?”
She nods and grabs her phone. “Let me just let him know we're on the way. Do you think Ben and Michael will want to go?”
I hope so because I need them to go. I feel so much stronger and more at ease when they're with me when I have to do official council things. That's what I need to talk to Mateo about. I've been going rounds with Minos for weeks and we finally came to the agreement that we need another alpha sitting on the council that both of us can trust and who the community will also trust. The only way to improve things in this territory is through trust, and the people need to see someone they know and understand in a place of power. Outside of my pack and Minos, Desir'ee's brothers and their packs are the only ones I feel okay about over here. Mateo, as the oldest and most active in the community, is a natural choice. If we take into consideration the fact that his father was asked to be on the council then he's the only logical choice. Desir'ee might not appreciate putting him in that position, though.
“He says to come on over and to come hungry.” Desir'ee says. “Grab Ben and Michael and we can go.”
She pushes up from her chair at the table and adjusts her shirt. Her stomach is beginning to have a very noticeable swell and her clothes are beginning to fit differently. It's not going to be much longer before she's going to need a whole new wardrobe. I'm so excited. She's going to be gorgeous.
Lucas throws open the door to let us in as soon as we pull up to their house. “Everyone's in the kitchen. Hurry before it's all gone.”
The amount of food in the kitchen is wild. There are so many different things and Desir'ee makes sure I try some of everything. Ben and Michael waste no time filling their plates and even less time diving into it.
