Page 71 of Lavender and Lightning

I nearly scream as his finger brushes ever so gently over my swollen clit, and it’s a miracle I don’t jump three feet in the air. My legs shake uncontrollably as he continues his slow, feather light touches over my pleasure center. But I don’t dare move again.

“Female alphas lock onto omega cock, and that toy she’s using turns that lock into a knot at the base of the shaft. Should we make Lucas take it? I’ve seen it before,” Rhett goes on, fingers speeding up.

“If he takes my knot, she takes yours. I want our little cock slut to see what a true coupling looks like, just so he knows what it’s like to truly please an omega. Then he can live with the knowledge he’ll never be able—”

“No.”

My voice is strong for the first time, and Lex freezes, her head snapping up as she looks at me with wide eyes. But my gaze is fixed on Lucas, and the silvery moisture forming around his beautiful eyes.

“What did you just say?” Lex rasps, true surprise in her voice.

I swallow and try to form words, but I can’t get past the look in Lucas’s eyes. They’re hazy, but something in them is calling out to my instinct to soothe. That’s not what I want him to think. He’s perfect just the way he is. I don’t want another alpha. I want Lucas, my sweet, funny, protective beta. He doesn’t need to be anything other than what he is, and I won’t let myself be used like this.

“No. I don’t want to,” I whisper, hoping Lucas can read what I can’t say in my eyes.

“That’s not—”

“She said no, Lex,” Rhett snaps, arms coming around to hold me tight against his chest. “This isn’t up for debate.”

I look back to Lex, ready to apologize, but her eyes are full of understanding. Time stops for a heartbeat, and each emotion flashes through her eyes. Fear, worry, understanding, contrition, warmth. She tilts her chin in the tiniest of nods, just the briefest acknowledgement of what happened, and a promise to resolve this, before she’s back in her playing headspace. Lucas blinks slowly, his lips moving, but I can’t tell what he’s trying to say through the fabric gag. My name, maybe? Something more?

“You okay, love?” Rhett whispers.

Nodding, I settle back against him. Though my arousal had banked for a moment, it flares back to life with that slight adjustment, and I whimper, closing my eyes to breathe through it.

“You’re such a good girl, so perfect. I love you so much,” Rhett coos under his breath.

I smile at his praise, whispering my love back before opening my eyes to watch Lex as she drives into Lucas, his face twisted with pleasure as he lets out a long, almost continuous string of moans. My eyes drink in the flex of Lex’s body, and as she shifts, my eyebrows fly up when I catch the black ink on her left side. I recognize the pack motto immediately, but there are three more lines of letters below it that I don’t understand.

“Do you want to come with us, sweetness?” Lex pants, interrupting my thoughts.

Rhett’s hand returns to my clit as I nod desperately, groaning as he sets a fast pace; nothing light or teasing about his touch now. Lex growls and snarls, biting at Lucas’s calves as she starts to lose her steady rhythm. She leans down and finally removes her panties from Lucas’s mouth, and he lets out a string of curses that would make a sailor blush.

“Please, Domina, can I come on your cock? Please?” Lucas rambles through his ragged breathing.

Lex lets out another bark of feral laughter, taking his cock in her fist. It’s slick and shiny with precum, and he screams wordlessly at the first stroke. Rhett’s lips kiss along the back of my shoulder, teeth digging gently as he circles my clit. I’m right there, shaking with anticipation, holding back for just the right moment.

“Come for me. Now.”

Lex’s command makes both Lucas and me shatter, our screams of pure bliss mixing in the sweetest harmony. Rhett purrs and growls, rocking up into me to draw out the waves. It only takes a few strokes until I feel him fill my channel with his cum, the sensation setting off another flood of warmth. Lex follows right after, her beautiful face twisted with ecstasy as she pushes deep and goes still.

We’re all quiet for a long time, the only sound our combined labored breathing. Rhett’s the first to move, fingers already starting to undo my bindings. My body still hums with pleasure, and I’m hardly aware of my surroundings as I let myself be moved by more than one set of hands. A cool cloth wipes me clean at some point, thin fingers massaging the feeling back into my arms. A solid chest against my cheek, one smelling of clean towels and chocolate.

“You’re so amazing, Lydi-bug. You did so good,” Lucas breathes in my ear.

“So are you, Luc. I don’t think you’re—”

“Shh, I know. It’s only part of the game. I know you don’t think that,” Lucas soothes.

“And I don’t either, sweetness. You’re both perfect, just as you are.”

Lex’s voice comes from behind me, and I nuzzle into her hand as she strokes the side of my face. I extract one of my arms to grab her wrist as she tries to move away, pulling her back toward me. She chuckles and lets me, settling in to hold me from behind, the scrape of her lingerie on my overly sensitive skin grounding somehow. I feel the couch sink on Lucas’s other side a moment before I feel the familiar, calloused touch of Rhett’s hand on my shoulder. I let myself relax, warm and sated among their arms.

“Your tattoo. It’s different,” I whisper into the quiet, my curiosity unable to be contained.

Lex chuckles in my ear before she kisses my temple. I can feel the smile pulling at the corners of her lips.

“Those are the three most important dates for me and this pack. The day I met Rhett and Mateo.” She pauses and I open my eyes in time to catch him kissing her knuckles, his face split with a warm, contented smile.
