Gray pressed his forehead against mine, his weight pressing down on my body in a way that made me feel safe.

I was safe with all of them.

My trepidation about bonding melted away, and I needed more. I met Gray’s gaze and he gave me a knowing smile. “Liam’s waiting for you,” he murmured. He pressed another tender kiss to my bond mark before moving off of me.

Liam sat with his back to the headboard, looking rugged and beautiful. His broad chest had already turned golden from the sun, and my mouth watered at the precum leaking from his thick cock. He held his arms out and I crawled into his lap, straddling his legs until his cock rubbed against my pussy. We both shuddered, our fingers digging into the other’s skin.

“Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined myself here, with you.” His strong arms held me close, surrounding me with his scent. “I thought I was going to have a heart attack when you walked into that hotel room, so fucking beautiful and perfect.”

“My omega recognized you right away, you know,” I said, thinking back to our first night together, how his presence had broken through all the walls I’d built to protect myself. “I’d never experienced care like you gave me.”

“Fuck, sweetness,” Liam said, sadness clouding his eyes. He crushed me to his chest, one hand cupping the back of my head and the other locked around my waist. My arms couldn’t fully reach around him, but I ran my hands down his back, trying to soothe whatever he was feeling.

“That wasn’t supposed to make you sad,” I said.

“It makes me sad that I gave you the bare minimum of what you deserved and—” He cut himself off and hugged me tighter.His grip was just on this side of too tight, but I didn’t care. “You deserve everything.” He swallowed hard.

“So do you.” I nuzzled into his neck. I wanted his scent to return to its usual sweetness. “You deserve all the love and care, too.”

He took a deep, shuddering breath and the tension from his shoulders eased. The slight bitter edge to his scent dissipated, his caramel honey now so rich I could almost taste it. I inhaled sharply when his hands moved to my ass, his cock jerking against my pussy as he squeezed. A low growl started in his chest as my slick drenched his cock and balls.

“Fuck, kitten.” His dark gaze met mine with so much heat I blushed. “I want to make you come a hundred times on my fingers and lips until you’re begging for my cock, but I don’t know if I can wait.”

“Don’t wait,” I begged, grinding against him. “You can do all of that later, but right now, I need you.”

“You have me, kitten. Forever and always.” He urged my hips up so I could fit his cock to my entrance. He held me there for a moment and I was ready to beg again, to doanythingto feel him inside me, when he pulled my hips down. I cried out as he entered me with a delicious stinging stretch.

My legs were spread so wide around his thick thighs I didn’t have much leverage to move up and down. It didn’t matter because Liam took control, his firm grip setting a punishing rhythm as he thrust inside me, pushing impossibly deeper every time.

“More,” I gasped, clinging to his shoulders.

Liam growled and the vibrations pushed me closer to coming. “That’s it, kitten. You’re going to take my knot like the good girl you are.” He slammed me down on his cock and his knot slipped inside. He kept rocking me on top of him, getting asmuch friction as he could while his knot grew impossibly large and locked inside me.

My entire body shook with my orgasm, Liam’s firm arms the only thing keeping me from completely falling apart. His lips were against my ear as he moaned when he came, and the sound was so erotic it spurred on my pleasure until I came again. We were as close as we could physically be, and I had that familiar feeling of wanting to sink further inside him.

I ran my hand over the smooth skin of his neck. “Liam, will you—” I swallowed down the emotions flooding to the surface. “Can I?—”

“Yes,” he said, eyes blazing. “Always yes.”

I bit down on his skin and another thread of the bond snapped into place. It was like iron—solid and firm, the way it wrapped around me, as if forming a shield. The fierceness of Liam’s love for me took my breath away. He took such good care of me, and now I would get to spend the rest of my life taking care of him, too.

I offered him my throat and his teeth sank into my skin next to Gray’s bond mark. It made my heart burst that the two of them would be forever beside each other on my skin.

I flooded the bond with my love, and I knew the moment he felt it when he closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against mine.

“Now you know how much I love you,” I said.

“Now you know I’ve always been yours,” he responded. “I love you so much, sweetheart.”

We tended to each other’s marks as I rested against his chest, lulled by the steady beat of his heart. I wasn’t sure how much time had passed when I stirred, the soreness in my hips growing too intense to ignore. Liam seemed to know what I needed, pulling me in for one more kiss before moving me off his softening knot. I took a moment to stretch out my hips and whenI looked up, Henry and Bear’s hungry eyes were on me from the other side of the bed. My heart squeezed as I finally allowed myself to fully accept that all four of them were mine. My mates. It was more than I dreamed, and so much more than I deserved, but that wasn’t going to stop me from claiming them.

I looked between them, feeling a little unsure what to do next, until Bear nodded towards Henry with a wink. Relief flooded me at not having to make any decisions right now, and I moved onto my knees. I whimpered as a mixture of Gray and Liam’s cum ran down my legs as I shuffled over to Henry. He didn’t miss it, his eyes flicking to my inner thighs as a wide smile spread on his face. He pushed me down on the bed and laid on top of me.

“You’re drenched, gorgeous.” He nipped at my neck, sucking and kissing while his fingers pet my pussy, his thumb strumming my clit. “Absolutely filled with the cum of your alphas. Do you like having them drip out of you? A reminder of what a little slut you are?”

“Yes,” I whimpered. I loved it. I wanted to be used, filled,bonded.

“Good,” Henry said. “Because I fucking love every part of you. I love how desperate you are for me.” His expression shifted to something tender as he gazed into my eyes. “I’ve known from the moment we met that you were so out of my league, but I couldn’t let you go.”
