It still mystifies me I want this omega. Hell, an omega at all, truthfully. I’ve talked with the guys and Syn about this many times, and even they don’t understand. They understand, however, that they all seem to be as affected by her as I am. I don’t even feel jealous when I think of them with Ripley. In fact, it’s actually something I’d like to see. All of us tangled up together in my nest. Fuck, that sounds good.
Syn and Nico aren’t exactly sure about this, but they have a hard time denying me something I want. Most of the time. They’re not against it, per se. I think they’re just worried. Despite me telling them there’s nothing to worry about. Knight wants to see us together and see what she looks and smells like for himself so he can decide. Kian is, as always, the laid-back one of the bunch. He’s happy to follow my lead on this. But I know. I know he wants her too.
It’s not that they’re against Ripley, more so that some of them think this will end horribly. I don’t think so, though. I believe she is exactly what we need.
Ripley will complete us, I muse.
I’m positive she’s what’s been missing. I’ve never told any of them this, but something has always felt... absent. Like there’s been someone we needed, and we just hadn’t met them yet. But, meeting Ripley, or hell, even just scenting her, something just felt right. Even if it defies all the odds. The last few weeks spent talking to her, getting to know her, has only enforced the feeling that she’s meant for us. She quite literally would fit us all differently.
She can nerd out with Syn, binge reading all the crazy smut together. Although Syn is good at hiding it, she’s actually a vulnerable soul. She loves hard and crashes harder when she’s been disappointed or let down. I think Ripley could give her the validation and compassion my icy alpha craves.
For me, I’d have someone that gets me on a baser level than the others. She would get all my little omega quirks. Sure, we’ll probably argue from time to time, but what couple doesn’t? Something inside of me recognizes her as mine, despite only meeting her recently. Something inside of her calls to that something inside of me, and I’m too weak to not answer the call.
Since she let slip that she loves to play video games, especially horror games, Knight could get her involved when he’s designing his games or treat her like the princess I know he’ll see her as. He has the biggest heart of us all, capable of loving so many at once because he has plenty of space.
She and Kian could go out and do outdoorsy things together, like hiking and exploring. She’s spent plenty of time telling me how much she loves the beauty of the outdoors, and it just so happens that my shy beta is a regular outdoorsman. Unfortunately for him, hiking is not my thing.
Nico would benefit from her softness. He can seem dominating, but he’s the biggest marshmallow alpha I’ve ever met. He’s also one of the most caring alphas. Aftercare is one of his favorite things to do for his mate. Ripley seems like an omega that would enjoy his level of affection and care. You’d never guess from looking at him, but he can be gentle. A gentle giant, if you will. When he lets that side of him out, it’s a beautiful feeling.
They all have their caring sides, of course. That’s just what good alphas are. Strong and capable, but also loving and kind.
I just have to show them all that she fits with us. She’s our missing piece. I want to keep her. I barely know her, but this feeling inside of me tells me she’s meant for us and us alone. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. If she wasn’t meant for us, then why hasn’t she found any other scent matches?
Just the thought of her finding anyone else makes me feel territorial in a way I usually would only get over my alphas and beta. Because they are mine. But what if I want Ripley to be mine also? And theirs?
“You’re being awfully quiet for someone who talked endlessly for weeks on the phone with me. Run out of things to talk to me about already?”
I chuckle as she pulls me from my thoughts. This woman.
“Just thinking,” I tell her.
“Penny for your thoughts?”
“Mm. A quarter and you’ve got a deal.”
“Darn. Fresh out of quarters.” She pouts.
I bark out a laugh and shake my head at her. “You’ll owe me.”
“Deal. Now spill.”
“I’m thinking about what I’m going to do to you once I have you all to myself in my lair,” I smirk, glancing at her quickly before looking back at the road.
She swallows, a blush taking up residence on the apple of her cheeks. She’s so pretty when her skin turns that rosy shade. I want to see it more. Ripley swats me on the chest, and if I weren’t driving, I’d have caught her hand and held it tight.
“You’re probably the horniest omega I’ve ever met. What were you really thinking about?” She snorts when she finally gets herself under control.
She can pretend I’m not affecting her, but we both know she’d be lying. Her scent deepens, fresh blackberries and warm cheesecake with a hint of cinnamon swirling in the small space, overriding my own scent. I hope she tastes exactly as she smells. My mouth waters from the thought alone.
“Oh, Little Bird, you have no idea. But really, I was just thinking about how you’d fit with us so seamlessly.”
I stop at the stop sign at the intersection that will take us to my home and her breath hitches. When I look at her, her lips are parted and shiny, likely from her licking them, and I desperately want to press my own lips to hers and see if they feel as magical as I believe they do.
“You and Kian will get along because of your mutual interests in nature. Syn will nerd out with you over your books and she’ll benefit from your kindness.” I swallow. “Nico could use your softness and Knight would fall over himself to show you his game designs, I have no doubt.”
I lean forward slightly, looking directly into her pretty hazel eyes, and whisper, “I was also serious about thinking about what I’m going to do to you when I get you back to my house.”
Her breaths puff out against my lips, minty and warm. I watch as her eyes glaze over with lust and her scent gets stronger. I close my eyes as I breathe her in and groan.
