She smirks. Pushing her ass against me. “Maybe I do,” she says. I grip her hip and hold her closer to me. I love when Kelsey teases.

“I still better get that first kiss,” I say.

“Fine,” she huffs dramatically. “Where’s Emmett?” she asks, just as he comes nearly jogging into the room.

“Right here, sugar.”

“I think we’re doing the three way kiss this year,” she says, smiling.

“I’ve got no problem with that,” he says, smirking as he tugs on me and Kelsey.

Everyone around us starts the countdown as it happens on the T.V. It’s loud, and wonderful having them all here for this moment.

“Three, two, one. Happy New Year!” Everyone cheers as I grab my Omega and Beta and we share a very complicated three way kiss. It’s nothing messy. We’re in front of our friends, but it has me thinking about all the things we’re going to do tonight.

Dom and I trade off and I grab Cameron’s face and kiss him with so much passion he’s panting. Dom makes sure to completely ravish Kelsey and Emmett. We’re so tied up with each other, I don’t know how the other couples share their New Year’s kisses. All I know is Smith and Cami have the least complicated time with the logistics.

Speaking of Cami, my beautiful sister-in-law hugs Kelsey tightly and whispers in her ear.

“No way, I can’t ask you all to do that,” she says to Cami.

“Are you kidding me, Kelsey? There hasn’t been a time where you haven’t dropped anything to help one of us. Enjoy some alone time with your pack. We’ll hold the fort down.”

“Where is everyone going to stay?”

“Smith and I will stay here, same with Emily and Griffin, Liv and Grayson. All the others will go sleep back at the hotel and come back first thing in the morning,” she says.

“You’re sure, you’re all sure?” Kelsey says biting her nails, no doubt worrying about Jacob.

“Kels, you’re going to be right in the backyard, not in fucking Mexico,” her brother Smith chimes in and Kelsey smacks his chest.

“Okay, but Jacob doesn’t sleep through the night and all the older kids are jacked up on mountain dew and gummy bears.”

“We’ve got it covered, Kelsey. I promise,” Liv says with a smile.

“Okay, let me just go say goodnight to the boys and make sure they behave,” Kelsey says, hugging her Omega best friends and her brother. While we are all friends, there are some lines we do not cross with each other’s Omegas and touching is one of them. The only exception is Smith and Kelsey. Emily’s guys also are fine with Emmett and Emily showing affection. It might not be progressive, but the possessiveness we all have over our Omegas makes it a mutual understanding.

Kelsey runs downstairs to talk to the boys before bed. The relationship she has with Easton and Theo is unlike what any of us have currently. With the bouts of mood swings, Kelsey handles it so well and they both would do anything for their mom. So if anyone is going to keep them in line while we’re out, it’s her.

After a few minutes, she comes back upstairs, eyes watery. “What’s wrong?” I ask.

“Nothing, they were just teaching Axel and Cora how to play their video game and it was the cutest thing.”

“Let’s get you out to your nest,” I say. Cameron grabs her hand and kisses her knuckles. Not a care in the world that all of our friends know what we’re off to go do. They all get it. There are different dynamics in all of these packs and relationships, but fundamentally they all understand the need for connection and I’m so grateful to them for giving us this time.

“Thank you again,” Kelsey says to her friends as we head outside. “Fuck, it’s cold,” Kelsey says as we all run over to the nest. Thankfully, Emmett had the foresight to turn on the heat earlier in the day.

I rub Kelsey’s arms as Emmett and Dom rub Cameron’s. The twinkle lights are on, their favorite blankets are here, as well as some snacks.

“Emmett, you did a good job,” I say. Cameron kisses his one cheek, while Kelsey kisses the other.

“You sure did,” Kelsey says, grabbing his shirt and bringing him in for a wet kiss. Emmett’s hands are in her hair and Kelsey’s fists hold his shirt tightly. She breaks away to catch her breath and looks at our Beta like he’s the most beautiful thing she’s ever seen. “What do you want tonight? How can your pack please you?” she says and I think we all shiver at her tone and the way she’s giving our Beta free rein tonight. He fucking deserves it.

“I want us all together at the same time,” Emmett says. Kelsey doesn’t balk. She wraps her small fingers around the back of his neck and crashes her lips against his.

Cameron takes the initiative first, with getting undressed, and Dom and I follow. Once Emmett and Kelsey separate, they both grin at each other and remove their clothes.

I glide my hands through Emmett’s blond hair and tug slightly. “What did you have in mind, my naughty Beta?”
