Page 67 of Knot All Is Lost: Part 2

“He gets one night,” I declared. “One night to fight whatever he needs to one his own, then that’s enough. We’re a family and part of that means we help each other in our battles.”

Nixon hugged me tight and kissed the top of my head. “Sounds like a good plan to me.”

“Little One,” Rafael said, pulling my attention. “Can I ask you to spend the night with me? If that’s all right with the rest of you?”

The others all shrugged.

“That’s all you, Dove,” Spencer decided. “You are the master of your body and time, no one will ever tell you how you need to share it. Actually, I kind of like the idea of getting you all to myself on occasion. Maybe Raffy is onto something there.”

“I agree it’s nice to have time together as a pack but having one on one time is also important. We need to strengthen our individual bonds as well as the packs’,” Oscar added.

Nodding, I looked at the others. “Okay, then it’s decided. If anyone is in need of some individual time with me or their other partner, then we speak up and ask for it. No hard feelings and everyone accepts, with no complaints.”

“Someone is getting incredibly bossy and I kind of like it,” Bodhi fake whispered to Savo. “Pretty sure that’s your fault, she wasn’t like this before she met you.”

Savo shoved the Beta playfully and grinned. “It's fun to see her standing on her own two feet against all seven of us, isn’t it?”

Everyone laughed and headed their separate ways, while Rafael held a hand out to me. “Do you want to run up and get settled for bed, then meet me in my room? Or you can bring things down, whichever you’re more comfortable with.”

“I’ll get ready in my room, I know you share a bathroom with Spencer so it will be easier,” I said as we headed up.

Rafael let out a huff of laughter. “In theory, I share a bathroom with him but he never uses it since he’s always in Nixon or Marius’s room at night. I can’t remember the last time all three of them have slept separately, if they're not arguing, that is.”

“Then why don’t they just combine rooms?” I questioned.

Rafael looked at me, humor shining in his eyes. “Two reasons, Spencer is horribly messy, and he has far more clothes than any man should be allowed to have.”

I snickered. “I suppose that makes sense.”

“Go take your time, no need to rush I’m not going anywhere, and I need to get ready for bed myself,” Rafael instructed as he waved me off when we reached his room.

Popping up on my tiptoes, I kissed him on the cheek and headed up the next floor to my room. There were butterflies in my stomach as I brushed my teeth and changed into a pretty lavender silk nightgown Spencer had snuck into the bags during our shopping trip. This was my first time staying with one of the guys in their space, and I couldn’t place why this felt so different, but it was. I brushed out my hair and braided it to the side, the teal color was the perfect contrast to the lavender.

Not feeling confident enough to wear just this walking through the house, I slipped on my simple white silk robe and then padded down the stairs. Savo was leaning in the doorway to his room and heat flared in his gaze as he spotted me. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said the old man could have you to himself tonight,” he teased.

“Don’t call him that, he’s not old,” I chided.

Savo just smiled and wrapped his arms around me. “Did you think you’d get away without giving me a goodnight kiss?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were waiting on me for that. Is that a new rule you’re imposing? I know how you love all your rules,” I quipped.

“CarefulKeksík,you’re on the verge of being a naughty little Omega,” Savo warned, the rumble of a purr in his tone. “Good little Omegas are the ones who get the rewards, remember?”

“Hmm, I remember quite well how that works,” I agreed as I grabbed his shirt and pulled him down to me. “But tonight, since I’m Rafael’s, I don’t need to worry about how good I’m being.”

I gave him a quick nip on the nose and tried to dart out of his arms, only to be pressed up against the hall wall.

“Oh,Keksík, that was a foolish move. You want to know why?” he asked, nuzzling against my ear. “Come tomorrow morning when they all go to work, you’re all mine.”

Heat crashed through my body and slick started to seep out of me at his words. There was something about Savo and his commanding nature that had me acting so cheeky. Yet when he pushed back like he was now, I turned limp and needy, begging for him to make me his good girl.

“While I’d love to know what exactly you did to turn her on like the flick of a switch, I’m not sure it would work the same for me,” Rafael said, cutting into the moment. We both turned to look at him where he stood in the doorway to his room, wearing no shirt and silk boxers that showed just how turned on he was. “My apologies for interrupting, but her perfume is hard to resist when it’s coming off that strong.”

Savo gripped my chin to turn me back to him before he kissed me, and pressed me into the wall, his leg rubbing between my legs. “Sweet dreams,Keksík.”

Stepping back, he guided me over to Rafael and grinned. “Let me know if you can’t keep up, old man. I’ll help you out with her.”

“Thank you for such a gracious offer, but I believe I’m more than capable of taking care of my Omega’s needs. Remember, with age comes practice and skill, which can more than make up for stamina,” Rafael countered before slamming the door in Savo’s smirking face. “Seems he’s feeling far more comfortable around here.”
