I'm confused for half a second, but when Jay murmurs in Riot's ear, I'm overwhelmed with so much appreciation and love I might cry.
"Avoid his right shoulder. He injured it in college," Jarek explains. "Give Vivie your wrist so she can offer it to him."
Riot does everything Jarek says and even leans into the bigger man. I watch transfixed as our new alpha claims the meaty flesh between Silas' left shoulder and neck. The loud moan that rips from him and their scent spikes does me in. I need him. Now.
"Riot," I grit out. A warning. That's all he gets before I bracket his back and slip my dick between his cheeks. "Color?"
Whipping his head back, Riot growls with a drip of blood rolling down his chin. "Green. Make me yours, Kade."
"Good boy," Jay rumbles and shifts away. A whimper from Vivie pulls a purr from my chest which quickly ramps up as I watch Jarek gather her slick on his fingers and reach for Riot's ass.
I back away for a moment while Jarek preps his tight heat for me and bend down to check on my beta. "You okay if I fuck him into you, my love?"
"Mmm," Silas mumbles, bliss in his expression making me grin. "Yes. But when his knot deflates, I want Jarek to replace me."
Pressing a soft kiss to his mouth, I praise him for his good idea. "Take care of our girl," I order and watch him nuzzle between her thighs.
"He's ready," Jarek announces.
When I resume my position and slip the tip of my throbbing cock into Riot's slippery ass, Jarek's lavender scent expands and soothes the tense muscles in Riot's body. The first ring of muscle I breach forces a stuttered breath out of me. When he grips me like a vise, I lose it a little.
"FUCK!" Riot shouts, pressing his head into Silas' back.
He can't do anything but take everything I'm giving him. The way our balls slap together is so fucking hot, I can't help but reach down and cup him in my hand. Teasing his taint with my thumb, my eyes roll into the back of my head when I feel his skin shifting and fluttering around me.
Taking him bare is perfection. I hate that he spent any time in the hospital, but the routine tests they did gave us the all clear to trulyfeeleach other. There is nothing separating us but the incomplete bond.
I'm so fucking out of it that I barely notice Silas slipping out from under us and moving a few feet away with Vivian to give Jarek space. He rolls onto his back beneath Riot. "You can have me," Jay whispers.
His hand grazes mine when he guides Riot's still solid cock into his ass. My fingers follow, and I find Jay coated in our omega's slick. It practically drips from his hole.
Curses and moans fill the nest. The scent of our pack coming together for the first time makes me hazy. "Jarek," I warn, voice tight with barely concealed restraint. "I'm almost there."
Glancing over Riot's vibrating shoulders, I see Jay biting his lip and concentrating while I fuck our alpha into him. "Okay, Riot, fuck—" Jay grunts. "Kade and I are going to bite you at the same time. You go with whoever feels right first, okay?"
"Agh!" Riot growls, his scent sparking with need and impatience. "If someone doesn't bite me in the next fucking?—"
Enough of that. Snapping my hips forward, I solidify my claim right beside Vivian's. If I thought the world would warp when he became mine, that has nothing on the total blast through my soul when his red tether grabs me and demands I be his too.
There's no fucking question. He's my mate and I am his. If he needs to hold on tight, he can. I'll always do everything in my power to give my mates everything they need.
Gold whooshes around me. Jarek's bond with Riot heightens his color and molds them together for a moment as if they are one. It's beautiful. The connection is unique. When a spark of purple flashes, I recognize his bond with Silas.
Beautiful. Bonded. Brave.
Thirty-Two
Vivian
My heat broke a few days ago. Since then, our theory has been proven right. Riot releasing my arm a bit has provided me the space to feel his emotions appropriately.
There are times I miss him. When he was angry or couldn't sleep, it left no room for me to struggle with my own shit. Riot was my escape. I know it wasn't healthy, just like the way I used the bond with my mates, but that was all I knew.
Things have shifted in me for the better. I feel less unsettled and am spending less time in the bonds. My mates haven't changed, but I have. I can see their actions and hear their words for what they are: the truth.
They show me every minute of every day how much they love me andenjoyme. Our bond isn't one of obligation because fate matched us. No. We've worked hard for a long time to build a family based on trust and strength. Our support for one another is unmatched and constantly motivating.
Something else has changed too. Silas made a comment about Riot bringing out my feral gene a while ago. I've done something I've never wanted to do before...I researched.
