Heat. Bite. Mate. Claim. Mine.
My brain goes fuzzy, but fortunately, I have a packmate who’s exceptional at keeping his wits about him.
“She’s burning up. We need to get out of here.” Vonn swings Nixie into his arms, then steps behind me like I’m a human shield, and it’s my absolute fucking honor. Puffing up my chest, I march purposefully toward the door. People move out of my path, and it’s a good thing because I’d gleefully run them the fuck over.
Keeping my head on a swivel for any threats, I head straight for the door. Thankfully, no one stops us, and a few momentslater, we step out into the sunlight. A cool breeze fans us, and I hope it’ll help make Nixie a bit more comfortable.
“Is she doing okay? I can see the car from here.” A small hand grips the back of my suit, the heat of her skin searing right through the thick material.Fuck.
“I’m f-fine.”Nope. I know that word.“Need my nest.” My mind wrestles with indecision. Should I sprint for the car and bring it here, or should we all go together?
As if reading my mind, Vonn answers, “Stay close. I don’t see anything off, but Nixie needs you near.”God, I can’t wait to have a window into my omega’s emotions.
“Got it. Let’s go together then, straight to the car.” We do just that, moving as one through the busy block. Trying to ignore my instinct to claim and rut my firebrand right here, my brain goes into planning mode. “Do you want to drive home? Or me? Her nest is all set up, thank goodness—so talk to me. What needs to be done?”
“Don’t talk around me,” Nixie hisses, giving my jacket an angry tug. “You’re both sitting in the front. Someone needs to text Cassia. She’ll keep Ash during my heat; she always does.” Her voice is soft, pain lacing every word, but I’m shocked at how lucid she is. Judging by the heat radiating off her, Nixie is already in full-blown heat, or nearing it.
“You’ve got it. Are you okay with my asking Cassia to stay in our old apartment?” After a few discussions, we all decided to let go of Nixie’s place, but kept the apartment just in case we needed somewhere to crash after late games. The house isn’t too far away, but it’s still nice to have a place right by the arena.
When we get to the car, I quickly unlock it, open the back door, and step aside so Vonn can place Nixie in. My packmate is pale, his pupils dilated. For the first time, I realize he’s struggling. Our omega slides gracefully inside, even cramping and sweating from the pain, she’s still the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.Nixie gives me her phone, hands shaking, then scoots in. Her scent makes me want to follow her and lick every inch of her, but I resist.
Vonn, on the other hand, attempts to climb into the backseat, making Nixie growl.
“No. Both of you in the front.” Vonn’s shoulders slump, crestfallen, so I give him her phone. “I want my nest.” A whine slips from her sweet lips, and it takes everything inside to keep my shit together.
But my omega wants to have her heat in her first real nest, and nothing else will do.
“Come on, man. You text Cass, and I’ll get us home in one piece. The faster we get going, the sooner we can help our girl.” His stormy hazel eyes find mine; he’s barely hanging on, but he steps to the side and lets me close the door.
“Why won’t she let me help her? I-I can feel the pain and her need,” he whispers brokenly, staring down at the ground. He’s been so self-assured with Nixie from the start that his lack of understanding startles me.
“Our omega wants your help. But remember how she talked about never having a heat in a nest of her own? She’s got one now, and we need to get her there. Nixie’s instincts are pushing her hard—if we get carried away in the car, she won’t end up with the heat she’s always dreamed of.”
Vonn brightens instantly, finally understanding the feelings barreling down the bond into him. He rushes around and slides into the passenger seat. I climb into the driver’s seat before starting the engine. I wait just long enough to make sure everyone is safely buckled in until I slam the car in reverse and get the hell out of here.
“And, Julius?” Nixie gasps from the backseat, where her scent is growing deeper by the second. “If I don’t walk out of this heatwith your bite, you’re in big trouble.” No sweeter words have ever been spoken.
“Firebrand, consider it done.”
I press the gas pedal as far as it can go.
Chapter Forty-Seven
Vonn
“Omega, may I enter your nest?” Nixie’s desire pulses down our bond, making my cock rock hard, ready to fill her tight pussy and ease her heat. Julius and I prowl around the edges of the mattress, feral beasts, held in check only by her leash.
“Alphas come,” she whines, finally beckoning us forward. As we surge onto the mattress, a fresh gush of slick drips down her thighs. I dive for it, dying to taste nirvana, but she grabs my hair, pulling me up short.Bossy omega.“On your back.”
“Got some fantasies to play out, firebrand?” Julius teases as I comply with her wishes. This is Nixie’s show, I’m just excited to be a part of it. Her lust and love filter through the bond, heating me to the core.
“I’ll be your fantasy, baby.” My arms reach for her, but Mama knows just what she wants, throwing a leg over me and sinking her velvety heat slowly down my shaft. She takes my hands and presses them into the warm skin of her breasts.
“You already are,” she pants, using my cock like her own personal toy.
“That’s right. Use me, baby, make yourself come on my cock.” Nixie’s slick runs down my balls and I rub my thumbs over her breasts until her nipples jut out, as hard as diamonds.
“Touch your clit. Do exactly as I say.” Julius settles in beside us, his eyes fixed on our omega. Pure dominance radiates from him, and Nixie moans, her hand following his instructions. She slips a finger between her puffy pussy lips, shuddering when she touches the bundle of nerves tucked away there. “Good girl. Now slowly rub it, gently, baby, let the pleasure heal your pain.”
