She smiles happily and mumbles, “Home.”
Yeah. That’s right. Home.
Twenty
Ripley
I’m sandwiched between two bodies, burning up under their limbs when I wake. I wince at how hot I am buried underneath them. They’re giving off some serious body heat.
Nico lays behind me, my ass pressed into his morning wood, with one arm thrown over my middle and his hand tucked between my thighs, cupping me possessively. River lay in front of me, his face pushed between my boobs and mouth hanging open as he snores lightly. I have to stifle the giggle that wants to come out, seeing him like that. Fucking adorable. His leg is thrown over both mine and Nico’s thighs, and I quickly realize that I am stuck.
Fucking hell. I’ve got to get out of this endearing yet inferno of a cuddle pile, but don’t want to wake them up. River looks so cozy and cute. His cheek smooshed into my chest. Must be getting some good sleep in this spot.
I have no clue when he snuck in here, but I’m not complaining. His auburn hair is a mess, sticking up every which way, making me smile softly as my chest feels warm and my heart flutters. He’s so damn adorable.
It hits me suddenly with the force of a battering ram as I’m looking at him, face snuggled close to my naked breasts, breath fanning across a nipple on every exhale. I love him. I am so in love with this omega that it’s insane.
Tears spring to my eyes at the realization. River is it for me. I can feel in my heart that they’re all it for me, despite us all still learning about each other. Kian included. I’m just waiting for him to stop hesitating so much.
Something is holding him back, and I suspect it’s that omega Syn told me about. Gods, what a cuntasaurus. I might need to take the reins on that one instead of waiting for him to come to me. Something to think about. Later. When I’m not having the sudden epiphany that I’m in love with this wonderful pack.
I love River’s playful and greedy nature. His mischievous grins and the way his eyes twinkle with mischief constantly. How he always wants me, and how he tries his hardest to give me whatever I want. Even watching my favorite horror musicals, despite how much I could tell he wasn’t a fan. He’s so giving, regardless of his omega designation. I also love how he makes me feel. Like I’m the center of his world. He’s got so much love to give, his heart so big and beautiful. It feels like he’s a part of my soul, a vital part of me that I need. These last few months with him have made me the happiest I’ve ever been. I can’t imagine walking away from this, from him.
I love Nico’s quiet, yet possessive, nature. The way he looks at me like he’d rain hellfire down on anyone that would dare touch me. I adore the fact that, despite how big and menacing he may look, he’s actually the softest, sweetest alpha I’ve ever met. I love that he cooks for me, for all of us. That he let me tattoo something permanent on him just so he could carry something of mine with him for eternity. Looking back at what I chose so easily, I probably should have realized last night that I’ve fallen hard and fast for them all. I can’t wait to find out what else I love about him as time goes on. Nico makes me feel safe and like I’ll always be able to fall into his arms, and he’ll catch me. I also totally love his fancy peen. Fucking one hundred out of ten.
I love Syn’s fierce and humble nature. That she reads monster smut to my alien porn. How soft and beautiful she is, inside and out. How protective she is, and that she stepped in to help when Victor had grabbed me all those months ago, even though she didn’t know me. She saw my discomfort and didn’t even think about it. I love that she’s been so careful with me, even though I can see she’s dying to do wicked things to me. River’s gossiped all about Syn’s tendencies to bind him, so he’s at her mercy. I’ve been waiting for that. I’m planning on asking her for a night with just us, maybe a couple of books, and we’ll see where the night leads. Hopefully, with me tied up and under her thumb. Yes, please.
I love Knight’s easygoing yet intense nature. How the minute he heard I was scared, he went into alpha mode, calming me down and helping me get my wits about me. How even though, romantically, things are still new with him, it’s so easy to fall into him, like something inside of me already recognizes him as mine. They’re all mine. I love that he has total ‘daddy’ vibes with a capital D. I love that he calls me ‘sweetheart’ with that deep baritone of his, sending shivers down my spine when he speaks to me. He and Syn are absolutely the most dominant in the family. Nico can be, as I learned last night as he growled at me to take what I wanted, but his caring, marshmallow nature still comes through so effortlessly because that’s who he is.
And Kian. The quiet, sexy beta that has been taking his sweet time to come to me. I love his shy yet silly nature. How easily I feel I can talk to him, even though I can tell I make him a little nervous. I love that he seems to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature as much as me. I’ve almost asked to join him so many times when he goes on his hikes, but always chickened out, too worried about pushing him too fast. I’ve grown impatient with waiting on him to see that I’m waiting on him, though. I’ve got a lot to learn about him, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting him. It doesn’t stop my omega brain from calling him mine. I know enough about him to already feel myself loving him. To feel a connection to him. It’s time he sees that I’m not that omega they dealt with so many years ago.
You’d think River would have put those fears away for him, but maybe it goes deeper than that. Maybe it’s a female omega thing, like with Syn. Something to ponder.
When I glance back down at River’s face after zoning out, his eyes are open and latched onto my face. My belly heats as I stare into his eyes, seeing the love I feel for him shining back at me. The intense urge to bite, to mark him, hits me hard, as well as the need for his mark on me. I whimper quietly, trying not to wake Nico, though with how hard he seems to be sleeping right now, I feel like it’d take a natural disaster to wake him up.
“Bite me,” I whine out pleadingly, not taking my eyes from River’s.
I don’t even think about it. It just slips from my lips effortlessly, like my instincts have taken over in the driver’s seat and decided they want that bond with him now. Need it. And I find I don’t want to take it back, either. Everything inside of me recognizes him as mine. I’m ready to be his completely. To feel everything he’s feeling and have that open line of connection to him always.
I don’t know if the bond will be like that of one with an alpha or beta, but I don’t see why not. There’s not much on the internet about it, of course, but from what I gather, it shouldn’t be any different from an omega bonding their alpha or beta.
Honestly, with the lack of information and data on a pairing like ours, I’ve been tempted to start an anonymous blog about an omega/omega relationship in hopes that I can find others like us out there. Maybe exchange notes. I nearly snort at the ridiculous thought of a bunch of us passing around notes on an omega bonding with other omegas.
We haven’t discussed bonding much, but I have seen him look intently at the spots he bites when we’re intimate, like he’s trying to decide which spot he’ll choose when the time comes. I already know the spot he’ll pick, even if he doesn’t exactly realize it himself. He’ll want it in the most obvious spot, so everyone can see it. Displayed proudly and prominently against my throat.
I want him to be the first to mark his claim. I’ve known that for a while. Without him, I wouldn’t be here with them all. And I can’t wait to see my bite on him, mixed in with all his others. The anticipation of that alone makes me tremble.
River’s eyes widen before going hooded. A low, feral growl tumbles out of him as he slams his lips against mine, thrusting his tongue in my mouth in a demanding kiss full of passion and need. We’re both panting when he pulls back, one hand holding the back of my head as he rests his forehead against mine.
“You want my bite, Little Bird? To be bonded to me for eternity?” His voice comes out low and husky, his eyes gleaming with omega satisfaction.
I jerk my head in a nod. “Yes. I’m yours and you’re mine, Omega.”
His nostrils flare at my breathy tone and his perfume pours out of him, tinged with delight, and making me whimper. His fingers come up, flicking my nipples, making me gasp.
“You know, once I bite you and you bite me, I’m not letting you leave again, Little Bird. You know that, right?” He tweaks my nipples, pinching and tugging, making my breaths come out choppy.
This is home. They are home.
