Chapter 63

Atlas

I felt like we’d been through a lot as a pack, but somehow this was the biggest moment. I slipped from the room to get some water and some snacks. A heat was a marathon, not a sprint, and everyone would need to stay at least hydrated. But something had me slowing my steps as I walked back.

The way my brothers and my mate looked together like that? There was a kind of peace about the three of them that had me pausing in the door. Part of me didn’t want to disturb it. Kai had settled back down once we left Stanthorpe, loving travelling with Jamie and us, but at night? I woke up from nightmares myself often enough, so I had a front row seat to hers.

The way she twitched, curled her fingers, said no, no, over and over again. As she fought the demons that had plagued her in the past one more time. I pulled her close and sometimes that made me the enemy she fought under the sheets and sometimes I was the hero that saved her. I always did it either way. But this? When we were teenagers, the boys had all joked and talked shit about omegas going into heat, making out like we were big men who could tackle a sexually rapacious mate.

But like most men’s bullshit, it had nothing to do with the reality.

My mate was inside our bedroom, resting, but she’d need me, need us soon. I was tempted to tease her, force Jayden’s knot out of her, but right now I couldn’t. She’d need this break, before the heat started to rage again, so I padded quietly in the room and set the water bottles and snacks down.

Which was when her eyes flicked open.

Kai could look at me from now to the end of time and I’d stay there until she looked away. I’d spent the worst two years of my life looking for her, but now? Now her eyes shone perfectly silver in the darkened room, the wolf and the woman watching my every move. But she wasn’t content to just lie there for long.

“Atlas…”

I was moving towards her the moment her lips moved and when she reached out, I laced my fingers with her. But that wasn’t what she needed. Her fingers brushed featherlight down my aching dick, then she wrapped her hand around my fucking knot.

I could’ve come just from that, just from her touch, spilling pearly seed all over her that I’d rub into her skin, claiming her again as mine. But she didn’t want that, the others shifting sluggishly as she tilted her head back and opened her mouth.

An omega would want to be filled everywhere she could be at the height of her heat, so I moved forward on automatic, seeing her perfect mouth and wanting to plunge my cock into it. But she drew me closer with a burning look and a lick of her lips.

“Atlas…”

The way she breathed my voice, I wanted to record it, play it over and over when I was on long boring drives, to recapture that feeling of connection.

“Whatever you want, Princess,” I told her. “You know that.”

“Fuck, she’s wringing my knot dry,” Jay moaned, writhing as Kai drew me closer, stroking his hand down her body, then sliding them down her front to work her clit. So she gasped around me, licking the head of my cock in a devastating sweep, making me feel fucking crazy for more. Her fingers formed an open ring around the base of it, barely even squeezing me. She was teasing me, driving me fucking nuts, my cock lurching in her mouth and splattering precum into it, which seemed to trigger something.

“Mmm…”

The drawn out moan, I felt it all the way down into my toes.

“You keep doing that and I’m gonna blow all the way down your pretty throat,” I told her.

She pulled free and I resisted the urge to put her mouth back right where it was.

“Do it,” she urged, then parted her lips.

I eased my cock back in again, but didn’t give her what she wanted, just slow, shallow thrusts. Kai tried to up the ante, closing her lips around me and sucking.

I wanted to surrender, just give in to the impulse to thrust deeper, harder, until her eyes ran with tears and she moaned in pleasure. She’d look so fucking beautiful but I pulled away, a deeper, more primal instinct ruling me.

I needed to breed my girl.

She wanted to have our children. I think she’d only just started to get her head around that. Everything had been a giant no before, from being with us, to dealing with her mother. But with Abigail dead now, Kai could rise, letting all the feelings that she stifled come to the surface. Ones where she was the mother, a caring, loving one.

“Fuck, you keep doing that, and I’ll come again,” Jay groaned, as our girl strangled his dick.

“Yes…” She pulled away from me to kiss my brother, while Xavier rolled over to grab a lube bottle from the side drawer and then used it to slick his fingers. She was already drenched, but silicon lube lasted longer and didn’t dry out, so Kai just panted as Xavier pressed his fingers into her arse. “Oh god, yes!”

“Jesus… fuck…!”

Jayden roared, his eyes blazing silver, as he thrust back into her, much more easily now, riding her ripples of pleasure until he unloaded into her again, only to pull free.
