It shatters me.The toy falls out of my pussy and lands on the floor as I spin around and look at Owen. I hadn’t tasted him before, but now that I know how sweet he tastes, I need more. Alexi wraps an arm around my waist and tugs me against his chest.
Owen’s pupils are blown, and he’s still deliciously naked, just the gloves… covered in my release. I want him to dip them in his own mouth and feel as needy as me.
“Gloves off,” Alexi directs. Owen looks between the both of us like his resolve is about the snap too. He doesn’t listen, and Alexi barks the order again. “Gloves off.”
Owen grabs the elastic around his wrist, flipping the gloves inside out and tossing them on the floor. “I-I—” Owen stutters and Alexi takes a deep inhale.
“Owen, go take a cold shower. I’ll take this one upstairs.”
“But…” Owen questions. He takes a step forward, and Alexi groans.
“I’m sorry, I took this too far. You two need to be separated. Owen, go get cleaned up, please.” Alexi’s voice is soft and pleading, and as scolded as Owen seems, he knows he’s right. I know he’s right. Because if Alexi wasn’t holding onto me as firmly as he currently is, I would be on top of Owen right now.
“I’m sorry, Piper,” Owen says softly before walking away and I feel… rejected… again.
“Come on,” Alexi says, ushering me upstairs to his bedroom. His bathroom is the best in the house. But all I want to do is shove myself inside the smaller tub shower combo downstairs with Owen.
Alexi turns on the spray, and I wrap my arms around myself.
“I’m sorry, I took it too far.”
I shake my head. “I instigated it.”
He runs his fingers through his hair and fully undresses before wrapping his arms around me. There’s a part of me that wants to run from the intimacy, but I’m also too worn down, so I accept his strong arms around me.
“No, it’s my fault. I don’t know what I was thinking—having you taste him. I just…”
“You just what?”
He shakes his head and opens the shower door for us to enter. He keeps his arms around me. “I think I just feel a little unsettled that we’re all unbonded.”
Hearing Alexi voice his insecurities makes me feel better. That’s probably wrong, but it’s nice to know I’m not the only one going through something when it comes to forming this pack. I rest my head against his chest. His breathing is even, and he strokes down my wet hair. I drag my nails down his back, lightly soothing the skin.
“Alexi, what are we going to do?”
“No more taking risks, I’ll be better,” he says softly.
I look up at him. There’s definitely guilt and uneasiness in his eyes. “We’ll get through it,” I assure him, bringing his lips to mine. “Owen should sleep up here tonight,” I tell him. I feel guilty that I’m the one who lost my shit and had to be separated. I can’t imagine how needy Owen is feeling; he should have Alexi take care of him.
Alexi kisses me again. “One day we’ll all share a big ass bed.”
I smile up at him, over how sure he’s been about the three of us this whole time. I wish I had a fraction of his confidence about us being a pack. It hits me then that I have to tell Alexi about tonight.
“Sloane knows about Owen.”
Alexi groans and scrubs his face. “I had a thought that she might. Seems like these Omegas have a fucking sixth sense.” I laugh, and he shakes his head.
“She said she will keep his secret.”
“We can only hope so,” Alexi says. I lean into his body and just let the warm water hit me and his touch comfort me. It feels nicer than I’d like to admit having someone reassure me, and I’m not quite sure how to feel about that.
CHAPTER26
Looking at Piper is hard, being around Piper is hard, getting a whiff of her scent makes me so fucking hard I have to jerk off multiple times to calm myself down. It’s only getting harder, and I can’t help but to think it’s only going to get worse before it gets better.
We just finished our last season game. I’m officially going to the NHL playoffs. We have about four days before our first game, and now is not the time to give in.
But fuck, I want to give in.
