I let myself enjoy it, standing out under the fall sun and making out with one of my mates.
Then, the backdoor of the car closes next to us, and I remind myself that River needs help. He’s in heat, and all his mates should be there.
I break the kiss. “To be continued,” I tell him.
He smiles at me and gives me his hand. Frost is marching up the path to the door, and Donnie’s carrying River along behind him. We catch up to Donnie and follow our pack into our new home.
DONNIE
It feels kind of weird to be carrying River to bed, knowing he’ll be taken care of by Frost and Kellan. I know this is his heat and he needs his Alphas to ease him through it, but my first instincts are always to take care of him. Whenever he’s in need, I look for ways to sate him. So far, I’ve been able to keep him satisfied. Tonight, it’s not up to me.
Frost clears his throat as I move across the hallway, heading to River’s room.
“Where do you want your nest to be, River?” he asks, making me stop a few feet away from the trio of doors. I’d been headed to the middle, to River’s room, assuming it’s where he’d want his nest to be. It’s where he feels safe. It’s between my room and Frost’s.
“River?” I ask, when our Omega doesn’t answer right away.
He looks up at me with those dark, needy eyes and I want to set him down and start things right here on the hallway carpet. A low growl rumbles from my lips as I gaze down at my mate.
“My nest,” River starts, raising his hand to stroke over the stubble on the side of my face. “I know it should be the place I feel safest, and that’s Donnie’s room.”
I gaze down at him. “My room?”
“Is that okay?” he asks, his voice shaky.
I can’t help the grin that breaks out on my face. “It’s perfect.”
Frost fucking hates my room. Too bad. He’s going to be spending a lot more time in here now.
He shakes his head at me as he opens the door and holds it open, letting me carry River inside.
“You should take it from here,” I tell him as I lay River down on the bed.
I start to back up, but River drags me down until I’m precariously balanced over him, ready to kick out of my sneakers and collapse into him.
“Where do you think you’re going?” River asks.
“I was just moving back to give your Alphas some room,” I murmur, grazing my lips with his, “but I’d much rather stay right here and give my Omega my full, undivided attention.”
I kick off my sneakers and move up onto the bed to straddle his slender body, rocking my hips so the lump in my pants moves against the lump in his. He moans under me, head pushing back into pillow.
“Oh …” Brooke murmurs behind us. “Oh, wow.”
She’s come into the room to stand by the side of the bed, her wide-eyed gaze focused on my crotch as I rock against River. Clearly, she’s enjoying the show.
“You were definitely the hottest stripper any club has ever seen,” she tells me, when her eyes come up to meet mine. “I’m glad you don’t do it anymore. I wouldn’t want anyone else but us seeing you like this.”
“I second that sentiment,” Kellan murmurs, closing the door and leaning against it.
All my mates are in my bedroom right now.
We’re finally together in one room without any urgent plans looming over us.
“I’ll secure the front door,” Frost tells us, forcing Kellan to move.
Of course, Frost would be the one to start freaking out.
“Hurry back,” I tell him, for River’s sake.
