"Duty calls," he said, giving us a wink and disappearing down the hallway. Just the thought of what was happening in that room had my cock twitching to life again despite the exhaustion.
I was just about to dig in again when footsteps had me pausing. Jackson had dark circles under his eyes and a yawn opening his mouth wide. When he was able to speak he pointed to me.
"She wants both of you."
I scarfed down the last of my food and handed the plate to Oaks. He pushed a bottle of water in my hands and I drank it down just as quickly. He took that, too, as I turned and followed the sound of her cries. Her scent was strong enough that my cock was getting harder the closer I got to her.
The moment Serenity's glazed eyes locked onto me, she reached out.
"Mine."
The word on her lips filled my chest with warmth and I moved into place, claiming her lips before resting my forehead against hers. Both of us were breathing hard.
"Always," I promised. "I'll be here as long as you want me."
"Forever," she said, her voice determined. "All of you."
Good, because that was exactly where we wanted to be.
Serenity
Nerves danced in my stomach as we all lined up to greet our first guests of the season. It was our first year working together as a pack and I was determined for it to go off without a hitch.
Isaac ensured that we had backup plans for our backup plans and everything had been planned meticulously. Between him and Amos, they had all of our bases covered and then some. Amos had even drafted up some proposals for new or upgraded equipment to send in to the company.
"Here they come," Silas said excitedly, he and Oaks both looking like kids on Christmas. They were the only ones not in the same uniform, instead they had on chef coats and looked adorable. We’d spent the last three months doing practice runs and getting to know each other.
The moment the guests, a young newlywed couple and both sets of parents, came on board, everything clicked into place. We were well practiced and had them lazing in the sun in no time. Oaks and Silas got to work while Vince and I started mixing drinks. Everyone else was out on deck helping get our yacht out of the harbor.
Oddly, it now felt more like home on this huge vessel than I did in my tiny apartment. They were my home.
"I'm going to deliver these," Vince said, giving me a wink before walking out, his bicep bulging as he managed the hefty tray. They looked amazing in their tight uniform shirts and pants. I think they picked out the new brand just to torment me every day.
I'll have to send that company a fruit basket.
"I've got snacks," Silas sang out, bringing out an armload to me to take out to the guests. The family was getting along great which was a relief. You never knew which way in-laws could go.
"Here we are," I said, listing off each item as I sat it down for them.
"So, I've noticed the chemistry," the wife, Kierstan said with a knowing look. "I know a pack when I see one."
"We are," I confirmed as a blush blossomed across my cheeks.
"All of them? There's like..." The groom's mother gasped as her face flared as red as mine.
"Eight of them," I confirmed. "It's a long and crazy story but somehow when you find your mates, you just know."
"That's true," one of the wife's beta father's answered. I was still trying to get them all straight. He looked at his omega with a soft look I recognized. I'd seen it on my guys' faces a lot.
"You're adorable together. Any advice for us newbies?" the groom, Patrick, asked. He was an alpha but reminded me of a beta. He was calm and soft. She was bubbly and exuberant so they were a perfect mix.
"We're still kind of new at this whole pack thing. I think the biggest thing is letting go of what holds you back or working through it. Once we did that, the rest was almost easy," I admitted. They shared a look that said they'd done just that.
Colt walked up to change the subject and they eagerly turned to him.
"I've got a water slide and some jet skis ready," he said, flashing them a bright smile. Even I couldn't look away from his charm as he started to list off the things we could offer. When they were out of sight, I got to work cleaning up.
The next few hours were busy supplying drinks, setting up dinner on the sun deck, and serving. By the time the guests all said goodnight and disappeared into their quarters I was ready to collapse. I'd never worked this hard in my life.
