“As close as anyone has ever come to it,” Richard announces proudly, and I realize this is a massive moment for them, too. “Riley and eight of the other test subjects show no markers whatsoever for the disease in their labs anymore. We’ll continue to monitor and there’s always the risk it’ll re-emerge, but it also may not. Possibly ever.”

I’m surrounded by Alphas then, and I hear Caroline whooping somewhere nearby, and we’re all laughing and hugging and crying. Even Richard and Craig look suspiciously weepy, although they stay away from the group hug in an attempt to remain dignified.

“So I don’t have to do another round in the trial?” I ask when I can finally speak.

“No, honey. You’ve been released from the trials officially. No more needles, at least not until your bi-monthly check-ups,” Nelly confirms, taking my hand and leading me back to the couch, which is apparently my spot for crying today. “You’ll still have to be monitored, but this is huge, Riley. You’re among the first Omegas in history to be essentially cured of this disease. We’ve already gotten permission for an even larger trial based on your results. After that, it’ll only be a matter of mass producing the medicine for the general population.”

“I’m healthy,” I say, my voice sounding hollow and far away, like I’m living in a dream and I’ll wake up any second. I know this is huge for Thane’s parents, for the entire field of medicine. Hell, for the entire world, but all I can think is… “I’m not going to die.”

“No, Riley, not for a very, very long time,” she says with a wide smile, a tear streaking down her cheek. Thane kisses me hard, over and over, and soon, they’re all kissing me back and forth until we’re all breathless from the kissing and weeping and laughing all at once.

“Damn,” Caroline says somewhere and I come up for air long enough to see her wiping away tears, too, a half-eaten cupcake perched a few inches from her lips, icing smeared on her chin. “This is the best birthday party I’ve ever been to.”

“And… I think we’re going to give you some alone time,” says Nelly, corralling Caroline with her husbands toward the door.

“No, you don’t have to—”

“We’ll come back later.”

Caroline winks at me as she retrieves her coat. Richard looks mortified, and Craig flushes the same way his son does.

“Are you sure?” I ask. “We can have brunch and—”

“We’re sure,” Caroline says. “Spend time with your Alphas. You have a lot to ‘celebrate.’ ” She follows Thane’s dads out the door and closes it behind them.

The five of us are silent, looking around at each other, too stunned to move. Then Fox, ever the decisive troublemaker, snatches me up and takes off running toward the stairs. I can hear Levi’s shout of protest before three more sets of footsteps thunder upstairs, all of us heading to our nest.

It’s the first time we’ve all been in the nest since the trial started, and it immediately ignites me with a deep seated need for them, an all-encompassing sort of comfort that almost makes me shudder at its strength.

This is what everything has been about, what all our struggles have led to. I’m healthy, even if it’s just for now, and we’ve got a long life together ahead of us.

After Fox sets me down on the bed, Miles drags him back up by the back of his shirt. Their smiling mouthes meet in a heated kiss as they undress slowly. Levi and Thane, on the other hand, have wicked grins as they head toward me. Levi tugs my shirt off and Thane unhooks my bra, baring my breasts to him. His eyes flare, and he gazes at them as if it is the first time he’s seeing them.

“It’s like unwrapping a present,” he murmurs before sucking on my left nipple. Slick is already building in my core, and I’m achy, needing to be filled. The heady scents of all four Alphas cloud my mind, driving me wild with desire for these perfect men. Thane tends to my breasts, cupping them and tweaking the nipples, while Levi drops to the floor, undoing my skirt and discarding. He pulls aside my damp panties, exposing me to his view, and moans at the sight.

Thane moves behind me, reaching around to cup my breasts from the back. Levi dips his head in and swipes at my clit with his hot tongue, and I cry out, thrusting my hips forward to seek his wet touch. Levi chuckles against my thigh and hooks my panties with his fingers, pulling them down and helping me step out of them. He leans in again and sucks on the swollen bud, making my knees buckle.

His lean fingers slip inside me, first one, two, then three fingers, fucking me as I tense around him. The pressure is perfect, a sweet fullness that makes my core begin to tighten. I fall back against Thane’s chest, and he keeps me upright.

“None of that, now,” he teases, licking the curve of my ear. “You need to stay standing until Levi’s done.”

“I… I can’t…” I moan just as Levi swirls his tongue in a tight figure eight against me. This has to be considered torture. “I’m going to—” I buck against Levi’s mouth as I come, stars blinding my vision. Levi sucks me through the waves until I’m panting and pushing him away because I’m too sensitive. He smiles up at me, lips slick and swollen, glistening with my release.

“Get up here,” I pant, pulling him to his feet just before I fall onto the bed, dragging him with me. I kiss him, thanking him with lips and tongue, as he grinds his hard cock against my bare thigh. The bed shifts as the others join us, and I break away long enough to see Thane join Fox and Miles as they writhe against each other, driving each other crazy with touch alone.

My heart fills with joy at the sight. I love how my men can take such pleasure from each other as well as me. It feels…whole. Like we’re all part of the same organism. A single beating heart.

“I need inside you,” Levi begs, his hand cupping my sensitive clit, his thumb stroking the flesh until heat begins to flood me once more. Without a word, I spread my legs and reach for his cock, guiding him inside. Even with the preparation of his fingers, I have to adjust as he fills me, his cock wide and girthy. We groan as he bottoms out, his pelvis flush with mine. He thrusts into me, slow movements that make me crazy.

“Faster.” I grip his muscular shoulders. “I can take it. I need it faster.”

“Your wish, my command,” he says, and then he rocks into me, harder and harder until his body begins to convulse. He shouts as his knot begins to swell and in a few frantic thrusts his cock slips out and he curses, but I’m there. Wanting to taste him, too. I slip down beneath him, taking him into my mouth as I grip his slick covered knot rubbing how I know he likes until he’s pouring his release into my mouth. I swallow him down, continuing to rub him until his body stops convulsing above me.

“My turn,” Fox says gruffly beside me as I finally catch my breath. He kisses Levi’s mouth and then smacks him on the ass so he gets off me. I start laughing at Levi’s feigned dismay, but he’s too sated to make a fuss. Fox rolls the two of us until I’m on top of him, just like last time, but this time, he’s sitting up too. He guides my wet entrance onto his cock, and we both sigh in contentment as our bodies join. I rock against him, slow and steady, spurred on by his own shallow thrusts.

It’s different from the frenzied fuck with Levi, Fox’s lovemaking more of a slow spiral into pleasure versus a race.

He stokes the fire inside me, each thrust deeper and deeper until I feel his knot swell.
