“What’s happening?” Leith asked from down the hallway.
“Artie just asked Wiz if he wants to bite him.” Enzo’s words were quickly followed by the sound of Leith’s rapid footsteps as he joined us in my room.
“He did what?” Ciara stumbled out of the bathroom, nearly slipping on one of Lucky’s balls in the process.
Enzo’s hands shot out and he caught her before she could fall face first into the hardwood floors, but even that wasn’t enough to distract them from what was supposed to be a private conversation before we brought it up to the whole group.
“Why do you want me to bite you?” Wiz asked slowly. “Do you… like me like that? Because I’ve got to be honest, Artie, I don’t really see you in that—”
“No it’s not that,” I cut him off with a firm shake of my head. “But I’ve been thinking about it for a while and I guess now that everyone’s here it’s now a pack discussion.”
“It should have always been a pack discussion,” Enzo grumbled and was quickly hushed by Ciara as everyone piled into my nest.
“If you don’t like him in that way, why on Earth are you asking him to bite you, mo leannan?” Leith didn’t sound angry, just curious. He settled in behind me, a warm, comforting presence that grounded me and gave me the courage to try and explain my reasoning.
“I want him to be a part of the bond so he can feel what we feel—even if we aren’t together romantically. He should be just as much a part of the pack as you three are and if that means letting him bite me… then I think I’m okay with it.”
“Babe,” Enzo’s hand slid into mine. “There are other ways to be a pack. We are already planning on legally adding both Wiz and Ciara. But you don’t have to bond with him to make that happen.”
Wiz, who had been quiet for most of the discussion, nodded. “And you do realize that things will have to be more… intimate in order for the bond to take effect, right?”
I nodded, rolling my eyes a bit at the way they were speaking to me as if I was dim. “I know. I did some research before bringing it up, you know.”
Ignoring their concerned looks, I continued. “The chances of a bond being successful rise exponentially when an omega’s pheromones flourish during sex, but it never actually says that the alpha doing the biting has to be having sex with the omega. There are tons of cases where an alpha platonically bonds with his or her pack’s omega so that they can be included. Besides, we’ve been toeing around the idea of group sex ever since Ciara and Wiz joined the pack, so it’s high time to rip the plaster off and just get to it.”
I finished in a rush and sucked in a long, gasping breath as the four alphas in my nest stared at me as if I’d grown a second head.
“How do you even know if Wiz wants that?” Ciara asked, but I could feel a hint of excitement that she was poorly concealing on her end of the bond.
“Well I was in the middle of asking him that before you all barged in here.”
“I didn’t barge, I walked steadily into the room and heard you asking to be bitten,” Enzo said with a huff.
Ignoring him, I turned my attention back to Wiz. “Don’t you ever feel lonely being the only one in the pack that isn’t a part of the bond?”
There was a pause before: “I do sometimes—yeah—but isn’t that a little bit intimate for two dudes who are just friends?”
“You’re going to have to get used to it at some point. We’re all going to be naked together eventually, especially if you want to see what she looks like getting driven nuts by those two assholes,” I told him dryly, hiking a thumb over my shoulder at Leith and Enzo.
Despite Enzo’s grumbling, I could feel his arousal at the idea of sandwiching Ciara and I knew I had him hook, line, and sinker.
“And you don’t even have to bite me anywhere super sexy, you can have my hand.” I wiggled my fingers in the air to underline my point. “Come on, Wiz, let’s be a family for real, join us in our bonds.”
Silence hung in the nest far too long for my liking and I was afraid, for just a moment, that Wiz was going to say no and we were about to reach the first big roadblock in our newly formed pack.
But then he finally sighed. “Okay, but if it gets weird for any of us we stop.”
Ciara squealed, launching herself across the nest and into his arms, making the alpha laugh.
Turning to Enzo and Leith, I gave both of their hands a squeeze. “Are you two good with this?”
“As long as you are, mo leannan, then I am,” Leith told me firmly and I could feel his steadfastness through the bond.
Enzo seemed to be taking longer to get on board, but he finally just shrugged with a sigh. “If you’re okay with it, then so am I. I’m not the one getting bit, after all.”
I was okay with it—actually I was excited to have my pack, my family, finally together in one solid, inescapable way.
