Without even blinking, Nolan smiled at me. “Yes. Seriously. Wilder’s been obsessed from the beginning.”
“Damn straight,” he chimed in, making me giggle because the excitement on his face was too genuine to fake.
“And I know it took me a second, but yes.” Nolan’s smile grew wider than I’d ever seen before. “Yes, Hailey. I’m in. I have to say, from the first moment we got here, your scent has been like a drug. But beyond that, I respect the hell out of you. I know how much your work means to you, how much you care. You’re funny and charming, and Iwantto. So, yeah, what doyousay?”
I glanced over at Merrick, who gave me a knowing grin, like he’d seen this coming from a mile away. I was in shock, but I couldn’t deny that, yeah, I was enjoying the alphas quite a bit.
Wilder was as much of a rambunctious golden retriever as Blaze, and Nolan had proven that his first instinct was to protect and care for his pack, revealing the marshmallow center underneath it all too.
I wanted to do what was best for the baby, and I wanted to do what was best for me.
It looked like, yet again, even though the timing was hell, I was getting both those things.
A wave of fire washed through me, demanding need funneling through my veins and doubling me over. I smashed my hand down on Nolan’s thigh, gripping the fabric of his pants until my knuckles ached.
“Yes.” I was already breathing hard, slick pouring from me. “Now.”
All three of my alphas jerked in surprise, but even I could smell how my perfume was drenching the air, making theirs swell in return.
“Oh, shit.” Merrick stood up, hoisting me into his arms, then turned around and started deeper into the house, undoubtedly to the nest. “All right, Hails. We got you. Don’t you worry about a thing. We got you.”
Chapter 33
Wilder
Iwas right on Merrick’s tail as he brought Hailey into the nesting room. My cock was already hard as more of that delicious strawberry scent filled the air, thick and rich. Hailey was going to bond with us, and I was on cloud fucking nine.
Sure, I wasn’t thrilled that it was because she medically needed us, but it was also crystal clear that she’d been excited about the prospect of bonding with Nolan and me. Wehadbeen getting closer, and yes, while I’d been thrilled to be around her from day one, I could tell real closeness was developing now.
All of us being bonded felt right. We would all be on equal footing—no more of this Merrick and her, with Nolan and me on the sidelines because of Preston’s stupidity. We would be one pack. Solid.
And I knew all of us, her three alphas here with her now, were going to doanythingshe needed to help her get through this.
“Are we there?” Hailey’s voice sounded strained, and my chest tightened, concern rattling through me, my inner alpha demanding I do something to make that pinch in her voice go away.
Hearing that, seeing her bent over as much as she could be, her eyes squeezed shut on the couch, had been a tiny torment. I hated to see her like this, and I was itching to help her, my body calling out for my omega just as she called out for us.
“Yes, Hails, we’re right here. Can you feel the nest?” Merrick set her down as we all funneled inside, and she crawled into it, rubbing her face over the soft bedding.
“Take off your clothes,” she bit out.
For a moment, I froze, almost laughing at how demanding Hailey sounded because it wasn’t the omega I’d seen—I knew she was bossy and firm when she wanted to be, but having her order me to strip was a whole other sensation. None of us hesitated, stripping down and handing over our items so that she could thread them into the nest. You didn’t deny an omega in heat unless you wanted to get bitten—and not in the fun way.
“Ugh,” she groaned once it was done, our scents mingling. “I need relief. Please.Now.”
Hailey pulled at her shirt and leggings, and Merrick quickly helped her out of them as Nolan and I took up spots next to her on either side of the bed.
The moment her pants were off, I nearly passed out from how damn strongly her scent invaded the air. It drove me wild, and I could see it having the same effect on Nolan and Merrick, the sweet scent of her arousal soveryintense. Their pupils were blown, their jaws tense as they tried to control themselves.
Hailey pulled Merrick’s mouth to hers, maneuvering herself into his lap without a word. It was something else to see her so worked up. I wanted to help any way I could, so I positioned myself at her back, the headboard behind us, sweeping her hair off her neck to lay gentle kisses across her skin.
She moaned happily, and I devoured the sight of our gorgeous omega, her small round belly, the glistening slickbetween her thighs, the way her lovely skin was so flushed and pink.
God, she’s a fucking dream.
“Get inside me,” Hailey demanded against Merrick’s lips, reaching between them for his cock. “I need it. Ineedyour knot.”
I didn’t think I’d ever been more turned on in my life, and I couldn’t stop myself from reaching down to my own erection, stroking slowly as Hailey positioned herself over Merrick’s shaft and lowered down.
