“Psh, youarehelping. You’ve got that knot he was begging for exactly where he needs it.”
Beau’s cheeks burnish at my mention of his knot.
“You did a good job, alpha.” I touch his arm and give it a squeeze.
He lets out a tiny scoff. “My job is easy.”
I chuckle. “Tell me that again on day four, when your dick is raw, but he’s begging for your knot again.”
His beautiful blue eyes widen. “Shit. I didn’t think about that…I always had three other alphas there.” Beau groans, and Archer grumbles in his sleep, so he lowers his rising voice and presses a kiss to the omega’s shoulder. “Fuck, what will I do if both of you go into heat?” he asks in a panicked whisper.
“I’m not going into heat.” I do my best not to laugh at his terror at the prospect, but it’s kind of adorable. “Mine are very predictable. It’ll be a couple of months.”
“But…what if…”
My brow scrunches. “What if what?”
Beau shakes his head. “Nevermind. Cool, that’s good to know you’ll be with me.”
“Hell yeah, I will be.” I finish cleaning Archer up as best I can, and dig around in the bag my friend dropped off until I find what I’m looking for. I hold the strap-on harness up for Beau to see and grin. “Teamwork makes the dreamwork.”
He snorts at my goofiness, but it’s not in the derisive way that most alphas would. Most alphas wouldn’t be willing to entertain the idea of not being the one to provide all the knotting during a heat, but Beau takes it in stride. Another green flag for the most green flag alpha I’ve met in my life.
I dig through the duffel a little more and pull out another toy.
Beau squints at the unassuming object. “I’ve never seen that before. Is that a cock ring?” He flushes at the reminder that he’s seen all my tricks before.
That makes me smile. If he were any other alpha, I might be a little icked out, but I enjoy thinking about Beau watching my content. I want to watch it with him and make him squirm as I ask him which parts he likes most.
“Nope. It’s new. I tried one out for my most recent video. It actually came out tonight, but I’ll give you an in-person demonstration because I like you.” I wink rolling the soft silicone ring around in my palm. “You can help me put it in once you’re not stuck.”
“Put it in?” His voice is raspy with lust, and Archer lets out a soft moan.
“Careful, don’t get too excited or you’ll have our omega waking up before he’s had a chance to rest.”
“You’re the one teasing me about mystery sex toys,” he grumbles.
I grin at him, loving how he reacts to me. A warm feeling spreads in my chest, a sensation that I shouldn’t be feeling for him yet.
Scent matches make you crave the other person, but they don’t make you feel…affection. At least not the kind that reminds you of a close friend you’ve known for ages, who gets all your jokes and sees your flaws and likes you anyway, and you can trust them to be there for you no matter what.
“It’s a synthetic lock,” I say as matter-of-factly as possible so I stop thinking about the warm fuzzies. “I put it inside me and there’s a little remote control that lets me activate it and clamp down like an alpha would.”
“Oh.” Beau’s throat works and Archer squirms, his eyelashes fluttering. “Fuck.” He inhales deeply, trying to calm himself.
“I figure we’ll break it out and use it in combination with your knot if we get desperate for some rest, because that’s sure to knock him out for a while.”
“Right.” Another deep, stabilizing breath. “Makes sense.”
“I’m going to go find where he keeps the clean bedding. Try to keep things calm while I’m gone,” I tease.
He sighs as if it’s an impossible task. “I’ll try.”
“Ruby, please…” Archer’s eyes shine with unshed tears as I tease him with the head of the dildo, his head tipped back onto Beau’s shoulder as he rests against the alpha’s chest.
“Please what, sweet omega?” I let out a soft gasp as Beau uses the small remote I gave him to increase the vibrations of the end of the toy that’s securely pressed to my clit.
Archer flushes, the pink color spreading down his neck and chest, which Beau strokes with his massive hands, keeping our omega right where we want him. “Please fuck me.”
