Page 61 of Riley's Storm

“Yeah. That’s why we screamed. I promise we’re fine.”

He smirked, a gleam in his eye. He dragged his gaze up and down both of us, making no secret of what he was doing. “You certainly are.”

I snorted. “That was so cheesy.”

He grinned. “Yes, but it made you giggle. So, I win.”

Ryan turned and left. Riley and I shared a look and then burst into laughter. I bent over at my waist, I was laughing so hard, and Riley had tears streaming down her cheeks. I didn’t know why we were giggling like this; it wasn’t that funny. But damn, did it feel good.

“Now that is a beautiful sound.”

Riley and I looked up to see Declan leaning against the doorframe, grinning at us.

“Hi, alpha,” she said shyly.

He chucked her under the chin and then tilted her face up to meet her eyes. “Hey there, pretty omega. Are you shy now?”

Her face flushed, and she bit her lip. “A little bit, yeah.”

“Hmm, well, there is no need. I thoroughly enjoyed what we did this past week. I hope you did as well.”

“I did. It’s just . . . Well, I barely know you guys. I don’t want you thinking badly of me for how I acted . . .”

“Oh, sweetheart, no. We would never think that. For starters, your mind wasn’t your own during your heat. There were a lot of hormones and feelings going around then. Secondly, we were just as needy as you. Besides, just because we did things a little backward, doesn’t mean you are anything but the perfect omega for us. Well,” he amended, smirking at me. “One of the perfect omegas for us.”

Riley’s face lit up with pleasure at his explanation.

“Come on, girls. Let’s get you fed and then we can start cleaning up that room.”

I shared a look with Riley. That was the last thing I wanted to do. That room was a fucking disaster. Correctly guessing my train of thought, Declan barked out a laugh.

“Alright, I’ll make you a deal. You go place the order for pizzas, and Victor and I will clean up the nest. Deal?”

I thought we got the much better side of that, but I nodded. “Definitely. Deal.”

Riley and I went back to her room only briefly. We had enough awareness to stash a set of clothing aside so that after our heats, we had at least one outfit to wear. We got dressed quickly and made our way downstairs. There we found Victor and Ryan, drinking glasses of water and wearing nothing but boxers.

Even though my mind rebelled at the idea of any more sex, my body didn’t care. I felt my thighs dampen of their own accord, some of my slick gathering in my underwear. Victor’s nostrils flared and his eyes burned with heat as he stared at me. I licked my lips and moved off to the side, keeping Riley between us.

He chuckled darkly. “That didn’t make a difference, hurricane. She smells just as enticing.”

Riley flushed, and a plume of her perfume filled the air. Victor’s chest vibrated with a purr, and Riley and I both whined in response. No matter that we were exhausted, our omega sides wanted to get closer to that sound and snuggle in. Thankfully, Ryan seemed to still have a solid head on his shoulders.

“Firefly, what brings you downstairs?”

“Hmm? Oh, Declan asked us to order a bunch of pizzas. He said that you three would take care of cleaning the nest for us while we did that.”

I bit my lip, but it was impossible to hide my smirk at that statement. Victor quirked a brow up, and his tongue traced across his teeth. Ryan looked momentarily shocked, and then he laughed lightly.

“Alrighty. Here’s my phone and card. Order one of everything.”

He walked past us, stopping to give each of us a kiss on the forehead, before he began climbing the stairs back up to the room. Victor watched him go, a soft smile on his face, before he turned back to us. Opening his arms, he beckoned us forward. Eagerly, we raced toward him and snuggled against his chest. He gave us a hug and kissed the tops of our heads.

“You girls behave. And do as Ryan said, one of everything. That boy can eat.” Snickering, he made his way back upstairs too.

“So,” I said to Riley, “where’s the best place for pizza around here?”

She shuffled her feet. “Honestly? Nowhere close.”
