My heart rate picks up as I move, knowing, yet still a little unsure of, exactly what he’s going to do. I’m not a fan of the sensation.
When I stand in front of him, Ezra puts his hands on my hips and lifts me effortlessly while a shout tears from my lips—okay, it’s absolutely a scream of terror. He places me gently on Pie’s back, and I grab the saddle horn in a death grip.
Ezra’s hand is on my thigh, calling my attention down at him and his gentle smile. “Listen. We’re not going far, and I’m going to be with you literally every step.” He gestures at Gator. “Little Chomp here can’t keep up on a long journey, and I’d prefer not to carry his three hundred-pound fuzzy body all the way back home.”
I purse my lips against a grin. “I’d pay to see that.”
“I bet you would, cowgirl.” And before I know what’s happening, Ezra is behind me on Pie’s back, pulling my back into his chest. “Easy,” he murmurs against my ear. “Just a little walk and we’ll come right back. There’s something I want you to see.”
Heart still racing, I nod wordlessly, and Ezra makes a ticking sound and nudges Pie with his heel. Then, we’re moving, my hands still gripping onto the saddle horn for dear life, Ezra’s arms around me to grip the reins. It’s then that I realize that Gator is tied to the side of the saddle on a long rope, giving him space to move.
Beyond the back of the property is a wooded area. Trees grow high into the sky, creating canopies that shade the ground where grass and moss grow around their roots. Birds sing above us in a chorus with chirping insects on the ground and in the trees.
The day is bright and calm, and I find myself relaxing as we trot slowly through the woods.
“Have you taken these two through here often? I know you’ve ridden with them before.”
His hum vibrates his chest against my back. “We’ve come through here a few times. Had to scope it for safety alone before taking these two in with me.”
It’s not much further before another sound joins the birds and bugs in their melody.
Gentle running water.
Ahead of us is a small clearing with woods directly beyond it, a tiny creek streaming through the ground.
“Oh, wow,” I breathe. “I didn’t know this was here.”
Ezra climbs off of Pie’s back and lands on the ground with a thud, crunching some branches beneath his boots. Then, he reaches for me like I’m a small child, lifting me off Pie and gently placing me on the ground beside him. Our hands joined, Ezra leads me closer to the creek, and I look back at Pie and Gator, concerned.
“Are they okay?”
Ezra chuckles. “They’re just fine. They won’t wander off, I promise.”
Still a bit unsure, I let Ezra lead me closer to the running water. Something about the air smells even cleaner here than it generally does in the pristine town. I don’t know if it’s the water or the woods or a combination of everything, but serenity flows through me as I stand here, fingers laced with Ezra’s, feeling peace all around us.
“I wanted to share this place with you. I’ve been selfish, keeping it to myself.”
I grin up at him. “Well, you did share it with Pie and Gator. That counts for something.”
His laugh is more comfortable now, at ease. It’s been happening more and more lately, and I try to concentrate on the fact that he’s opening up now, and not on the fact that it hasn’t always been this way.
But his demeanor grows serious as his free hand comes up to palm the side of my face, tilt my head back. “I can’t wait to officially move in together. All of us.” When he dips his head down to capture my lips, my toes curl in my sneakers. The intensity is something we’ve only shared in bed, but his desire presses hard against my stomach when he pulls my body against his, then speaks against my lips. “I want to watch as they take you, Adley. I want all of us to take you together, but I can’t wait to watch Jasper and Adam ravish this tight little body of yours. Watch your slick puddle on the bed as they knot you.”
My brain short-circuits, an unbidden whine erupts from my chest, slick seeps from my core into my panties as I turn wide eyes up at Ezra.
“You like that, Omega? You like the thought of all your Alphas taking you at the same time? Fucking all your tight holes at once?”
My knees begin to shake at his words, my entire body flooding with heat as my whine grows louder.
Ezra's nostrils flare. “Yeah, you like that.” His words are a deep growl in his chest, and on the tail of them, he guides me backward until my back is up against a tree, his hand a buffer between the back of my head and the bark as he takes my lips with his again. His other hand toys with the button on my jeans for the longest time before undoing it, and slowly unzipping my fly.
My scent rises around us and I whine again, hips absently undulating as more slick seeps out of my core.
Ezra’s purring now, the vibrations traveling through me as he growls. “Didn’t plan this. No time to knot you here.” He doesn’t sound as disappointed as I feel, but that’s when he slides his hand down the front of my pants, into my soaked panties, making me cry out in surprise and pleasure. His fingers glide against my clit effortlessly, my slick providing more lubricationthan necessary. When two fingers slide inside my core and curl, I hiss. His thick fingers scissor inside me, stretching me as he hums.
“Good time to help make sure you’ll take two cocks easier.”
Every nerve ending in my entire body is alight. His words, his touch, his scent—everything about Ezra is setting me on fire with want.
