There’s a tic in his jaw now, and his hands curl into fists. “I think you could be right. I loved it when Jack gave me a taste. But I’d probably need to sample the source to know for sure.”
I hum. “That sounds good, but Noah just gave me a lesson upstairs. Maybe we should start there. Practice makes perfect.”
As I drop to my knees, Travis jerks forward out of the shadows. I expect him to look annoyed – maybe even a little grossed out – at the way I’m coming on to his best friend, but his face is white, his eyes burning into mine.He looks like he wants to kill someone.
It’s such a transformation from his cold, indifferent mask, I freeze, all my earlier confidence fading away. But as I start to get back to my feet, a crippling cramp rolls through me, and I cry out.
Ben quickly reaches down to sweep me into his arms. “On the bed, sweetheart. Your heat is spiking, and you’re going to want to be comfortable.”
He’s right. That twisting, aching feeling inside of mehurts… and has nothing to do with that murderous look on Travis’ face.
But then Ben is gently lowering me to the bed. “See how much better this is, omega? Your nest smells so good.”
I don’t know if it’s his words or the way he growls them, but now I’m laser focused on the alpha in front of me. I scoot back, drawing him down beside me, my hungry gaze flicking over his body. He’s enough like Mattie to be beautiful in my eyes, but there’s a harder edge to him that makes my skin prickle. Where Mattie is open and giving, Ben radiates pure physical desire. Before I’m even settled, he’s reaching over and palming my breasts, his thick fingers plucking at my nipples. “Gorgeous tits,” he tells me, his green eyes burning into mine. “My mouth’s watering. Can I check if you taste as sweet as you smell?”
Anywhere but here, I’d probably find his blunt words confronting. But I can feel my omega side surging to the surface, and she’s more than ready to offer us up to this hungry alpha.
“Lie back,” he says, like he can already read my body better than I can. “You can undress me while I eat my snack.”
I grunt, because he’s already licking across my left breast, his tongue circling my nipple. “I’m not a snack,” I manage to spit out, right as his big mouth sucks hard on my aching flesh. “I’m a… I’m a…”
“You’re a feast,” he grunts, going to work on my other breast. “And I haven’t even got to your messy pussy yet.”
My eyes roll back as I melt into the mattress. Holy shit.Maybe I bit off more than I can chew with this other Cliff brother…
“Jack’s the one who likes to edge,” he says, stripping his Henley away in a flash. I feel my throat catch as I stare up at him, his chest all wide, hard muscle with a patch of thick blond hair. The scent coming off him is both earthy and musky, and when he leans down and slowly rubs it against my sensitive breasts, a needy whine slips out. “But I’m gonna take care of you. You want my knot, omega?”
My head spins at the idea, but I manage a nod. And the answering smile he gives me is like sex-coated sunshine. “Then roll over and present, omega.”
I blink at him, years of whispered jokes and bad porn flicking through my head. “I don’t really know how…”
“Jack can show you,” he says, and I stare wide-eyed at his mate. Mattie is still sleeping on his other side, but Jack is right beside us, and he looks perfectly comfortable as he moves to his hands and knees. I know he’s an alpha right now, but Jack adopts the position effortlessly, long arms stretching out in front of him as his back arches, his butt in the air. He’s still fully dressed, and every movement is like watching a dancer at work. And when he turns his head so he can see us, the look in his eyes is enough to make me gush.
“You like that?” Ben growls in my ear, his fingers sliding over my slick-coated thighs. “You want to do that for me, omega?”
I’m already moving, but as Jack goes to scoot out of the way, I lunge forward and press my mouth to his. He tastes like spicy chocolate and I groan as I sink into the kiss. He feeds the sound back to me, his hand stroking down my spine before gently tilting my hips. It makes my butt lift, and I realise he’s preparing me as much as soothing me.
“Look at that pussy,” Ben growls, a thick finger playing in my folds. “You ever seen anything that pretty?”
I’m not sure who he’s talking to until Noah steps into view, and I realise he’s clutching his erection. He’s shirtless, all that beautiful ink rippling as he slowly strokes his shaft. “You better fucking hurry, Cliffhanger. I need to get in there soon, or I’ll blow.”
Again, the raw need in Noah’s voice makes the omega in me preen, and I arch my back a little more. But then Ben is gripping my hips, his thick tongue licking across my slit. I’m so shocked, I clench down, sending another gush of slick trickling down my thighs. Noah makes a high, whining sound and I press back against Ben’s mouth, clutching at the bedsheets. Some part of me can’t believe the noises we’re making, but I’m too far gone to care. All I want is a thick, hard cock to take the ache away.
And when Ben snaps his hips forward, I get exactly that. He’s the biggest I’ve ever taken, his knot already starting to press against my arse as he thrusts in a second time. And he’s long enough that when he’s buried inside me, I can feel him rubbing on my lock. Pleasure twists through me, and my legs start to tremble, my pussy fluttering around every hard thrust. But right as I start my spiral to the edge, Ben pulls out, and I gasp. “What’s wrong?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“What?”
“Travis says if you lock an alpha in rut, they’ll bite. It’s almost impossible to stop.”
Jack sounds so upset, I drag my head from the covers to see Travis and Noah conferring in the corner.“What?”
Travis holds up his phone, his eyes glinting in the dark. “Locks tip alphas into bonds. I checked three different research studies. It’s why so many alphas end up bonded partners.”
I gape at him, not sure whether to laugh or scream. Travis is over their Googling heat facts, while I’m getting reamed by his best friend. “Does this really matter?”
“You’re a goddamn cockblocker,” Noah huffs.
