Dipping my head, I shoved Warrick back, giving me the room I needed to latch onto the skin over his heart. As my teeth pierced his skin, I could feel the pulse of that treasured organ that gave us life. Each of us had our scars under the surface, and I wanted to place one where it would remind him how loved he was by me.

Warrick tumbled backward as he came with a deep guttural growl, and his knot reached full size, allowing him to shoot his cum deep inside me. This time, I could feel all of it, the stretch that had me questioning if I would break and the heat pooling in the pit of my stomach as I took everything he had to give me. Warrick’s hands on my hips shoved me down as he rutted his knot further, sending me over the cliff into another orgasm. A scream tore out of me at the back-to-back climaxes, made my body clench even tighter on Warrick’s knot.

Finally, my body began to relax ever so slightly with the occasional aftershocks as Warrick’s cock twitched. We both lay there panting, sweat coating our bodies, utterly lost in the intoxicating high of a completed bond.

“I love you, Bailey-Rose Thatcher,” Warrick stated, kissing my head as he rolled us to lay on our sides.

Tipping my head back, I was given the kiss I was looking for, which had me grinning. This bond thing could really come in handy for us affection-obsessed Omegas.

“I love you too, Warrick Shaw,” I said, nuzzling my head under his chin as he traced his fingers up and down my back. “Now you have a family who will see the value you’ve always had. It’s their loss and my gain.”

Warrick chuckled, which had us groaning as jolts of bliss sparked along our bodies.

“Okay, no more laughing until this knot has settled down,” he muttered. “Holy shit, I had no idea how sensitive it could get.”

Fingers combed through my hair, urging me to open my eyes. Gareth gazed down at me with such a tender expression I melted right on the spot. “Baby girl, let’s get some hydration into you while you’re resting.”

Unsure how he wanted to accomplish that in my current situation, I started to wriggle, but Warrick clamped his arms around my hips. “Care Bear, I’m sorry, but you’re gonna have to just relax for a bit.”

“Sorry, man, that was my fault,” Gareth apologized. “Do you think you can roll on your back again?”

A few deep breaths and a curse or two later, Warrick was on his back, propped up slightly by pillows. Carefully, Gareth assisted me as I sat up, trying to keep my hips as still as possible. Next, he produced a glass with fruit on the rim and a tiny umbrella sticking out of the pineapple.

“We discovered they packed those special electrolyte waters… this one is lime-flavored,” Gareth explained as I took a sip.

While the flavor helped, these things would never taste good, but I drank the whole thing anyway.

“You hungry?” Yun asked, holding a tray of snacks.

I shook my head. “No, but I am definitely thirsty.”

“Want another?” Gareth offered, reaching for the glass.

“Ah…” I considered, tucking some hair behind my ear, feeling a little awkward having such a normal conversation while knotted to Warrick. “Something that’s not so healthy.”

With a quick kiss, Gareth hopped off the bed to where our beverage counter was located. I glanced down at Warrick, meeting his gaze as he studied me with a moonstruck smile. Immense pride and joy trickled through our bond, telling me what was going on in his mind.

“You’re fucking adorable, you know that, right?” Warrick shared, his thumb stroking my thigh.

My cheek burned at his attention, making him smile even wider.

“Just when I thought you couldn’t be even more irresistible, you have to go and blush like that,” Warrick said with a sigh. “If I didn’t have you knotted up already, that would have done the trick.”

Trying not to laugh, the sound came out more like a snort, and I quickly covered my mouth.

Warrick snatched me up and flipped us so he was hovering over me, brushing his nose along mine before nuzzling a kiss to my lips.

“Hey, none of that,” Gareth scolded, and the sound of a hand slapping bare skin could be heard.

Warrick’s head shot up. “Did you just slap my ass?”

“So what if I did? Don’t act like a child, and I won’t have to treat you like one,” Gareth shot back.

The shocked expression on Warrick’s face turned into a smile as he burst out laughing. “I can’t believe you really did that. Who would have guessed you’d have the balls to make that kind of move?”

Gareth just glanced at Warrick with a look of exasperation. “Think whatever you want, man, but you still need to let her back up.”

“Well, I’m not sure if it was the shock of your slap or coincidence, but my knot has decided to let my sweet Care Bear free,” Warrick informed his grumpy pack brother.
