I consider the question, trying to sort through everything I observed before Solana's heat fully hit. "Because she wanted to make sure everything was settled. Stefan, Ashton, the ranch, Moo-Shu, lunch... she was trying to take care of everyone and everything before allowing herself to focus on her own needs."
Kade presses a kiss to the back of her head, his lips lingering against her braids. "That sounds like our Omega."
I let out a little groan as my knot deflates slightly, the pressure easing but not enough to slip free yet. The sensation is intense, pleasure mixed with the biological urge to stay locked inside her, to keep filling her until her heat is satisfied.
Kade reaches over Solana to kiss me, his hand cupping my face as our mouths meet. The kiss is deep and thorough, tasting of the whiskey he was drinking earlier and something that's purely him. When he pulls back, his dark eyes are warm.
"How are you, my little Alpha?" he asks, his thumb stroking across my cheekbone.
The endearment makes my chest feel tight. Kade calls me that when we're alone or when he wants to remind me of my place in our dynamic. I'm an Alpha but I'm also his, submitting to him in ways that fulfill something deep inside me.
"Better now," I answer honestly. "I'm sorry about earlier. About how I fell apart when Stefan called. I should have been stronger, more in control."
Kade's expression softens, his hand moving to cup the back of my neck. "You know I would do anything for you. Anything. And I don't regret your brother coming here, not for a second. I'm sure I would have reservations if it was a problem, but it's not. Stefan belongs here with us."
The words make my throat tight with emotion. I've spent years wanting my stepbrother in my life, in my pack, but never believing it could actually happen. Kade is so dominant, so used to being in charge, that I assumed he'd never accept another Alpha into our dynamic. But he's not just accepting Stefan, he's welcoming him, making space for him in ways I never dared to hope for.
Kade moves to lay behind me, his body pressing against my back as his hand trails down my spine, possessively. "Let me take care of my little Alpha and make you knot her all over again."
A shiver runs through me at the promise in his voice. This is what I need, what my body has been craving since Solana's heat hit. Kade's dominance, his control, his ability to take me apart and put me back together exactly the way he wants.
Solana stirs a little against my chest, her eyes fluttering but not quite opening. I lean down to press a kiss to her forehead, my lips gentle against her skin. "Our Alpha is going to fuck me. How's that? Hmmm? He's going to push me into you, show us how much he loves us, and then he's going to take you."
Solana hums in agreement, the sound sleepy and satisfied. Her body is still lax with post-orgasm bliss and exhaustion, but I can feel the way she clenches around my softening knot at the promise of what's coming.
Kade's hand moves between my legs from behind, his fingers finding my entrance and circling it teasingly. I'm already loose from earlier, from the quick fuck we had this morning before everything got complicated. But Kade takes his time anyway, working one finger inside me with agonizing slowness.
I let out a soft gasp as he crooks his finger, finding that spot inside me that makes stars burst behind my eyelids. My cock twitches where it's still buried in Solana, interest sparking despite having just come.
"That's it," Kade murmurs against my ear, his breath hot. "Let me open you up, get you ready for me."
He adds a second finger, stretching me carefully. His other hand finds the bitemark along my side, the permanent claiming mark he gave me years ago. His thumb presses against the scar tissue, the pressure sending pleasure-pain racing through my nerve endings.
I melt beneath Kade's touch, my body going pliant and submissive in ways it only does for him. With Solana, I'm her Alpha, dominant and in control. But with Kade, I can let go completely, trusting him to take care of me while I take care of our Omega.
Kade scissors his fingers, working me open with practiced efficiency. He knows my body intimately, knows exactly how much preparation I need and how to make it feel incredible. By the time he adds a third finger, I'm panting against Solana's neck, my hips rocking between his fingers behind me and her heat surrounding my cock.
"Please," I hear myself beg, too far gone to care about pride. "Please, Alpha, I need you."
Kade withdraws his fingers and I feel the blunt head of his cock pressing against my entrance. He pushes inside slowly, giving me time to adjust to the stretch. The burn is intense but perfect, scratching an itch I didn't even realize needed scratching.
"Fuck," I groan as he bottoms out, his hips flush against my ass. "Fuck, Kade."
"That's right," Kade says, his voice rough with arousal. "Take it, Dusty. Take everything I'm giving you."
He starts to move, slow and deep, making love to me rather than just fucking. Each thrust pushes me forward slightly, driving my cock deeper into Solana even though my knot prevents much movement. The sensation is overwhelming, being filled and filling at the same time, caught between my two mates.
Solana lets out a little gasp, her eyes fluttering open. She looks up at me with those dark eyes, still hazy with sleep and heat but aware enough to understand what's happening. A slow smile spreads across her face as she watches me fall apart.
"Beautiful," she murmurs, her hand coming up to cup my face. "You're so beautiful like this, Dustin."
The compliment makes my chest swell with emotion. To be seen like this, vulnerable and submissive, and be called beautiful... it's everything I've ever wanted.
Kade's pace increases gradually, his thrusts becoming harder and deeper. His hand on my hip grips tighter, sure to leave bruises that I'll wear proudly tomorrow. Every thrust forward rocks me into Solana, stimulating us both despite my knot keeping us locked together.
My own orgasm builds steadily, pleasure coiling tighter in my belly. Being between them like this, surrounded by their scents and their heat, is almost too much. I can feel Solana clenching around me, can feel Kade hitting that perfect spot inside me with every thrust.
"That's it," Kade encourages, his voice rough. "Come for me, Dusty. Fill our Omega again. Show her how much you love her."
