I want my bond marks and I want them now.
CHAPTER 24
STERLING
I thinkHailey is trying to kill us.
At the very least, she’s willing to do whatever it takes for one of us to bond with her, and we’re fucking weak.
I want to eat her pussy, her sweet cherry slick all over my tongue before kissing her and pushing my knot deep inside her while I bite down on her neck, claiming her as mine.
Usually, when I’m not inside her, I can at least think rationally.
But as I watch Hayes fuck her, Nate’s fingers holding the base of Hayes’ cock, creating a knot for our Beta, I’m losing all sense of control. There’s also this deep fear that once she’s out of heat, once reality comes crashing down on all of us, she’ll be able to walk away.
I know it would break us. It would undoubtedly break me after being with her during her heat.
Hayes is writhing underneath Hailey, moaning about how tight it feels, and I smile. They all look perfect together, and they’re mine, even if I can’t mark Hayes and Hailey yet. I can’t deny I like the Beta’s ingenuity of the tattoo, and I decide then that I’ll get something for Nate. We’ll be fully connected throughour bonds with our Beta and Omega, but I want something just for him, too.
Hailey gushes over Nate’s fist and Hayes’ cock. She’s a sweaty mess, covered in cum and slick, and since Hayes doesn’t keep her locked in place, I take initiative.
“Come on, baby girl, let’s get you cleaned up,” I tell her as Nate and Hayes pant on the bed.
“No knotting in there,” Hayes says offhandedly, and I roll my eyes.
I’m a fucking firefighter. Do you know how many Omega injuries I’ve seen because of knotting in inappropriate places?
She wraps herself around my shoulders. My arms are sore as I carry her to the bathroom and start the tub. I make sure the water is lukewarm to counteract the heat of her skin.
Hailey clings to me as I place her in the tub first. She whines as we lose connection and I tsk at her. The last thing we need is me carrying her into the tub, slipping and breaking her fucking ankle or something.
“Be patient,” I tell her and she pouts.
She’s been doing that a lot, and I can only hope she’ll feel the same way once her heat is over.
We’ve tried to reason with her, explain why we can’t bond right now, but she doesn’t care. We’d do more faux bonding by sucking on her skin or grazing our teeth. The issue is that Nate and I aren’t strong enough.
Hayes is doing his best in that regard.
Once her mind is clear, she’ll understand that we have her back, that she’s part of this pack. We’ll bond at her pace, we’ll have plenty of months prior to her next heat, and then once we’re fully bonded? I smile at the thought as I slip into the water, cradling her against my chest as I grab the washcloth.
“Your next heat we’ll be bonded and you won’t feel like this. You’ll be so content.”
She hums as I grab the cup I brought in here to wet her hair. Next time I’ll know more about how she likes to take care of her skin. She’s very into skincare from the copious amount she brought over to the house, but I don’t know how to use it all. Luckily we found a bottle that simply said cleanser and have been using that.
I want to know everything about her.
I want her to know everything about me and prove I can be the Alpha she needs.
This need to care for her is visceral. She shouldn’t have to work, and selfishly I just can’t handle her working at Lavender Moon anymore. If there’s something she wants to do for money that doesn’t put her around other Alphas and is safe, then, of course. But truthfully, I’d much rather spoil her and let her focus on her hobbies.
My mom was a well-kept Omega and was extremely happy. I’d want the same for her. Hayes has more than enough income to stabilize and make up for the money that Nate and I bring in.
I rub her shampoo in her hair and she sighs, her body going soft against mine as I run my fingers through the dark strands and massage her scalp.
She seems calmer right now and I don’t know if it’s because she was just knotted twice and then fucked by Hayes, but she isn’t tugging at my dick or pulling me toward her throat. I do my best at cleaning her face and the rest of her body.
I love taking care of people, but taking care of my pack fills me with the ultimate amount of satisfaction and purpose. Hailey being an Omega amplifies that for me tenfold.
