He makes a noise against Piper's throat before he places ravenous kisses against the column of her neck. He licks and sucks her tender flesh. Piper’s face is flush, and her breathing is labored as our eyes meet, our Omega between us and what feels like the weight of a million unsaid words as I pump into Owen.
I have to break the tension and press my face into his back as I fuck him. His slick drips down my balls and thighs.
“Shit, I’ve got to lock,” Piper says before she moans. It’s nearly a domino effect. Her pussy clenches around Owen’s length, and he isn’t able to thrust anymore. So I fuck into him, jostling them as they’re locked together.
Both of them are nearly incoherent as I use Owen for my release. I’m close, and I push my knot into his tight hole. He moans loudly, his hips trying to move, to fuck Piper more, but he can’t. I make up for it by pushing completely into him. My knot grows in size as I pump into him, until I reach my peak, my knot fully inflated inside of him and cum filling up my Omega. His body is shaking, and he’s making the sweetest noises against Piper’s throat.
The three of us are locked together for God knows how long. Both Piper and I touch and soothe his body. His skin is hot to the touch, but he isn’t writhing in pain anymore, and that’s what’s important.
Piper unlocks him first, but Owen is unable to move right away. So we all stay in place, Piper bearing the weight of Owen as I use my strength to stay off of her.
“You did so good. So beautiful, so perfect,” she tells him as she plays with his hair. He groans and wraps his arms around her and presses his face in the bed. It’s not long before a light snore leaves his lips, and Piper can barely breathe. Luckily my knot releases me at that moment.
The bed is a mess, we’re all a mess. But all I can do is help wiggle Piper out from underneath Owen. Even as he’s asleep, he doesn’t want her far. But I’m at least able to shift him so that only an arm and a leg is on top of her.
“You good?” I ask her, and she nods. I’m about to walk into the bathroom when she grabs my hand and tugs.
“Can we talk?”
“Now?” I ask, and she tugs my hand harder.
I lie down on the bed next to her, and she faces me the best that she can. “When you left, I wasn’t upset about the application. You were right, I was talking myself out of it. I was upset that I had hurt you. That I ever made you feel like I didn’t care about you.”
“I was frustrated. I shouldn’t have submitted the form.”
She shakes her head and squeezes my hand. “I’m glad that you did. That you believe in me when I can’t. I… I don’t think I truly realized how hard on myself I am until you came into the picture.”
“Piper,” I groan her name, and she shakes her head.
“All that time I ran away from this was because I knew if I gave in that my future was sealed. Because I knew you were it for me, and it scared the fucking shit out of me. You were right, I spend too much time in my head. I’m sorry for making you feel like I don’t want you. I do want you, Alexi. I've wanted you for a long time, and I’m still so scared by how much I want you.”
“But you never seek me out,” I say softly and insecurely.
“Usually because I talk myself out of it, and I promise I’ll work on it. On initiating and making sure you feel cared for. If anyone in this pack deserves to be cared for, it’s you. Can you forgive me?” she asks, her eyes watery.
“I shouldn’t have sent in your application, and I shouldn’t have walked away,” I say.
“I don’t blame you. I want to be the partner you deserve. Let me try?” she says, and I shake my head, leaning down and pushing her hair out of her face before kissing her softly.
“I was never going anywhere, and you’re exactly who I want you to be.”
Her face pinkens, and Owen grabs her harder, tugging her against his body.
“I’ve got to do some recon and figure out what to tell the team,” I tell her, a pit forming in my stomach.
“That can wait till tomorrow,” she says, tugging my body down so I’m behind her and Owen is in front of her.
Everything is a mess, and all I can smell is delicious smelling fruit. But as I put one arm under her head and toss another over both of their bodies, I realize that everything I’ve ever wanted is in this bed right now.
CHAPTER28
I’m able to sneak away for a few moments to make the dreaded phone call. I’m supposed to work the next six days straight, and that’s definitely not happening.
The phone rings when the surgical chief answers the phone.
“Dr. Jenkins,” he says curtly.
“Dr. Jenkins, this is Dr. Blake. Unfortunately, I’m going to need to call out for the next couple of days.”
