Page 68 of Knot All Is Lost: Part 2

I burst out laughing at that comment, having enjoyed the verbal sparring of my two men. “A real family should be able to poke fun at each other, don’t you think?”

“If it’s in good humor, I would agree with you. My fear is that Bodhi is going to figure out that Savo is more of a kindred spirit with his sharp wit and verbal sparring skills. Then, we’re all going to be in trouble,” Rafael muttered, and he pulled back the covers, scooped me up, and dropped me in the bed. “No, I don’t want to talk about the others. I want to focus all my attention on you instead.”

Grinning, I sat up and slipped off the robe, handing it over to him. He froze, seeing my nightgown and missed grabbing for the robe the first time but managed it the second. Turning, he draped it over a chair then crawled into bed but didn’t stop until he loomed over me, eyes bright with desire. “You, Little One, look stunning lying here in my bed, where I get to have you all to myself for a time.” He bent down and nuzzled my neck which I bared for him. “No, Little One, we are not going to rush this moment. I want to savor every inch of you before I mark you as mine, making sure your body is well aware of my claim.”

I hummed in delight at his words, letting my hands run down his chest feeling his muscles and the softness that was justhim. “Rafael, you know you’ve already claimed my heart.”

“Yes, but I want more than that, I want the world to know that you belong to us, to me and that if anyone dares to take you from us again, we will destroy them,” Rafael announced, his voice gruff with the growl that lingered in it.

My hands slid up his neck to grasp his face, and I pulled him down to me, kissing him tenderly at first, but soon it devolved into something far more passionate and desperate. He settled between my legs and rolled us so I was now lying on his chest, as he let his hands wander down my back to grope my ass. I loved the feel of the silk against our skin, making it feel like there really wasn’t much between us. The bottom of the gown bunched up, and he paused as he realized I didn’t have on any underwear.

“Little One, when did you get so bold?” Rafael asked with a smirk.

“It’s because of all of you,” I whispered. “You make me believe I can be brave and take risks, of course I would never do something like this outside our home. That would just be foolish.”

“It would be life threatening for anyone who found out about it besides us,” Rafael muttered.

Sliding off him so I was more on my side, I ran my hand down his chest to the waistband of his boxers and slipped my hand in. His cock was hard and already leaking some pre-cum, making me lick my lips as I sat up and pulled the fabric off him. His dick popped up eager for me to notice it, as if I might have missed seeing it. Grasping it in my hand, I licked from base to tip making sure to get all that had leaked out so far.

“Fuck, Cambrie, that feels so good,” Rafael groaned, hands fisting the sheets. “This was supposed to be about you tonight.”

I settled myself over one thigh as I worked his cock in and out of my mouth, using the motion to rub myself on him. Pausing at his comment, I released him to answer. “Then you’d have no problem letting me do this, since I love to make my men feel the same amount of pleasure as you give me.”

Rafael wanted to argue but I resumed my work, cutting him off as he moaned, jutting his hips into my mouth. My slick soaked his leg allowing me to glide over the skin easily, giving me the friction I needed. Using both hands I squeezed the base of his cock as his knot started to grow, knowing he needed the pressure to get the most out of his climax.

“Oh God, Cambrie, the things you do to me,” Rafael gasped as he exploded in my mouth, and a moment later I came all over his leg.

I let myself slump to the side as we both panted, taking a moment to collect ourselves. Rafael sat up and pulled me so I was nestled against his chest, listening to his heartbeat as he purred. “How lucky I am to find someone like you, Cambrie,” Rafael murmured into my hair. “The love you have to give, and how you take the time to ensure everyone knows they are cared for equally, is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”

Tilting my face to meet his gaze, I was stunned by the love and adoration this man was directing at me. “I just refuse to let anyone I love or care about doubt my feelings for them. Having a life like this was always a dream for me, something I read about in books, because the world we live in now doesn’t support that way of life anymore.”

“This is something I believe Marius and Alton are hoping to change,” Rafael added.

I pulled myself up further on his chest so we were eye level. “I don’t know how to do it or what I need to study but I want to be part of that change. We need to teach other Omegas what it means to truly be part of a pack that is meant for you. If they are giving us the freedom to make that choice once more, people won’t know what to do with it. Being around all of you, I was able to learn what a happy healthy pack is. You were one even before having an Omega, which was shocking. All of you chose to be together because you had a common goal, a vision, and you became friends. The foundation of the pack was rooted in all the right reasons. That is what people need to understand.”

“They said they wanted to change the Care Centers into a place where it’s safe for Omegas to interact with packs. What if they were also for education? I don’t know what they teach in school since I wasn’t part of that, but how much did all of you need to teach me? Something I’m not sure anyone knows about but another Omega. What it feels like to be in heat, how a bond affects you, the huge emotional drop you can have when you start to emotionally bond with a pack. That's just a few things I can think of off the top of my head. Each of you do amazing and important work, I want to be part of that too,” I explained, my heart beating so fast as I talked about the dream that’s been growing inside me.

Rafael cupped my cheek, letting his thumb caress my skin. “This world doesn’t deserve you, Little One, but I’m so fucking glad you’re ours.”

“So, you don’t think it’s a stupid idea?” I pressed.

“No, Cambrie, I think this is exactly what is needed. I would bet everything to say that we are one of the few packs that have found true happiness in how our biological needs are met. Packs have been formed for power, influence, and what would give them the best chance to be awarded an Omega. As you mentioned, we created our pack on an idea, a hope to change the world. Little did we know it could actually happen. Then we met you in a surprising manner, but our connection grew how it should naturally,” Rafael pointed out. “That is what people won't understand right away. The need for a relationship to develop naturally. Scent is a large factor in helping Omegas to know who is compatible or not, but we’ve taken trusting our instincts out of the equation. Now we need to put it back in, and who better to teach that than someone who’s experienced it?”

“Exactly,” I blurted, sitting up excitedly. “Then I also want to start a community or organization whose sole purpose is to find Omegas who have been sent to other countries. If they are with packs then we will create a way to establish communication with their families back here so that connection isn’t lost. For those who might be in trouble or in an abusive pack, there has to be a way for us to save them. They didn’t choose that life, it was forced on them and I won’t let that stand.”

Rafael chuckled and sat up, resting against the headboard.

“What?” I demanded, crossing my arms.

“Nothing, I’m just wondering if I should give Marius a heads up that he’s going to have his hands full with one incredibly determined and visionary Omega. Part of me thinks it will be more entertaining to see his reaction firsthand,” Rafael pondered aloud.

“Are you teasing me? I can’t really tell, but I feel like you are teasing me,” I challenged.

Reaching out he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “No, Little One, I am most certainly not teasing you. These ideas and plans are big, bold, and exactly what you should be doing. Since the moment I met you and looked into those brave blue eyes of yours, I knew that deep under that scared, abused shell of fear was a warrior. It was just going to take time for you to realize it, and now there are cracks in that wall and the true Cambrie is starting to peek out. I’m just not sure the world is going to be ready for you, but that is a problem for another day.”

Grasping Rafael’s hand, I held his gaze. “Will you help me do this? If I’m going to get there and do what I want to, I’m going to need all of you to guide me in the right direction. If I need to go to school, help out in the shelter, or even work with Marius at the Capitol Building, I’ll do whatever it takes so I can be the person I so desperately needed before I met all of you.”

“It would be my greatest honor to help you achieve your dream, Cambrie,” Rafael said, and pulled my hand to his mouth and kissed the back of it. “I will always support you and offer what wisdom I have to give to the woman I love with all my heart.”
