Judging by the level of the ghastly expensive bottle of whiskey standing on the bar, that’s not Tai’s first drink either.
As the door slams behind me, another wave of frustration tightens in my gut despite the swell of hunger beginning to grow low in my groin.
It isn’t often we bring inoutsideaffection, but both my packmates know how riled up it gets me watching them with anyone else. It’s one-part jealousy, one-part sweet torture, the two mixing together to create the best and worst sort of drug.
“Jesus, you two do know that we’re expected to be up at the ass crack of dawn, right?”
Tai’s russet-brown eyes dart away from Wolf to meet mine. They’re so warm and cozy that it makes me itch to take the place of both Betas at his side.
“There you are,” Tai says. “We were just talking about cutting this short to come check on you.”
I shake my head, pinching the bridge of my nose as a pang of frustrated pain kicks through my skull.
“Awe, come on, Kaz…partying tonight won’t change our fate tomorrow. We could show up looking like absolute shit and they’ll still ship the Omegas here.”
I sigh, knowing Tai is probably humoring Wolf because our packmate can be such a knothead, but he’s also not wrong. Besides, they’ve proven time and time again that a cold shower and a bucket of hot coffee can set anything to rights by morning if they’re needed in any form of royal function outside the usual duties.
Wolf finally breaks out of the haze of lust he’s in and looks at me from beneath heavy lids. Some of the heat melts out of his sea-green eyes even though the Beta’s head bounces enthusiastically between his legs. “We’re just getting in our last kicks before we’re bonded to an Omega, mate.”
“Being bonded didn’t stop my father from getting in his kicks,” I mutter as I stride deeper into the room and head for the bar. I don’t know why my mind went straight there, but there it was, and there was no dialing it back.
I need a drink.
One won’t hurt.
As the whiskey splashes into my tumbler, I see Wolf pushing the Beta off and Tai extricating himself from his two. In no time, they’re next to me. Their heat radiates into my sides, making me feel like someone has gently applied a soothing balm to the deepest recesses of my soul.
Before we formed a pack, I had no idea it would be like this. I’d read so many books about it and not one came close to doing it justice. These guys know me better than I know myself. Where some packs are a mix of classes or a mix of sexualities, we’re lucky that we found ourselves with one another. That all of us want the same things. Namely, each other. In ways more than what platonic bonds can offer.
We’re insanely attracted to each other, and none of us have any qualms about acting on it, but it’s not…romantic. Not really. It’s a mutual understanding. A meeting of souls. We were friends first. We would always be friends first. A brotherhood before anything else.
It’spack.
Unfortunately, I can’t act on my attraction to them nearly as often as they do with each other, but it’s becauseMother Dearestkeeps me too busy. Someone has to be the killjoy who takes care of the important things. Tonight, though, I’m not too busy, and I’m in desperate need of losing myself in the only two people I trust completely.
Tai pushes a hand into his silver-white hair as he regards me, his gaze cautious as it sweeps across my face. “Are you okay?”
“No. Are you?”
He shrugs, drawing in a deep breath as his free hand finds mine and his long fingers wrap around it. He strokes the inside of my palm with his thumb, those reddish-brown eyes still drinking me in. “We will be, Kaz. We’ll all be okay.”
Wolf slides his arms around me from behind, pressing his erection into my ass nonchalantly as he rests his chin on my shoulder. “Are we going to stand around gossiping all night or are we going to have a bit of fun before the cameras move in?”
I push back against him, feeling my heartbeat speed up as my cock grows against my fly. “Maybe just a taste of fun.”
Wolf smirks and then winks at me before he goes back to his Beta. Tai hangs back with me. “I can tell them to leave if you want.”
“No, it’s fine. Wolf might strangle you with his bare hands if you make him stop again right now.”
I incline my head toward where the Beta has resumed her position. Wolf is fucking her mouth in earnest now, clearly chasing the release he denied himself when he pushed her off to come make sure I was okay.
My dick swells more as I keep watching him, but I’m too reticent to join the fun. To be honest, I’m jealous Tai and Wolf managed to have any fun at all with the pressure of tomorrow looming over us.
A Beta notices the growing bulge in my trousers. When he does, he links his arm with mine and makes bedroom eyes at me. “Want to show me your chambers?”
“No, thank you,” I decline politely, my mood already souring. “I think it’s for the best I hit the hay by myself tonight.”
I try to chase the taste of my own bitterness down with the last of the whiskey from my tumbler before setting it down with a dull thud on the bar counter.
