“Exactly my thoughts. Which is why we’re going to help. You were in her room when you helped her pack, so I figured you’d be the best fit for the job in front of us.”
We slowly pick our way through the room. Kian directs me on where to put things, and I dutifully listen, wanting to make sure it’s perfect for Ripley. Kian puts her clothes up as I put her books away carefully. I take note of a few that catch my eye so I can ask to borrow them later. She’s got a wonderful collection. I especially love the little trinkets and stuffed animals she has for her shelf.
Adorable, creepy little nick-knacks, intricate drawings of fairytales done in varying degrees of decomposition, and these cute handmade stuffed animals. Some crocheted, others embroidered. I especially love the crocheted little voodoo doll she has with skull pins through his chest.
At least I won’t ever have trouble thinking of what to get her for Christmas or birthdays or just for the hell of it.
“So, you finally kissed her, hmm?” I finally call out after nearly an hour of working in silence.
Kian’s voice is muffled in the closet as he answers. “Yeah. She was saying all these things, and I don’t know. I just wanted to kiss her so badly, and she asked if I was going to. So, I did.”
When he steps back out, he has a goofy grin on his lips. “She called me sexy.”
A blush tinges his cheeks, and I laugh. Kian has been agonizing over whether she’d want him. Like me, I guess. As the two Chelsea wanted to be rid of, our confidence took the biggest hits. Even after River.
None of those insecurities came to the surface really until Ripley came along. I guess the female omega aspect worried us both. Mostly because of how strongly we’ve felt toward her from the beginning. It would have been fine if River hadn’t said he wanted us all to have relationships with her. That’s when the fear of being rejected popped up. That she wouldn’t want us when we wanted her made us a little afraid to push for more with her.
“She’s not wrong. You’re a very sexy beta,” I purr.
“Uh-huh.”
“You gonna stop pussy footing around her now? River says he’s sick of your snail’s pace.”
“River needs to mind his business.” He snorts, rolling his eyes.
“Do you not know him?” I ask him incredulously.
“Fair point.” He sighs. “I’ve just got to find time with her. There are a lot of us vying for her attention at once. Maybe I’ll try to take her out for a hike when you two get back. I know she loves stuff like that.”
“I’m sure she’d love that, baby,” I tell him reassuringly.
We get back to work after that, working in companionable silence. After placing the last book on the shelf, I find a business card that must have fallen out of one of her books as I put them away. I see a website listed and decide to take a picture to check it out later. Maybe it’s somewhere she’s gotten some of this stuff from. Even better.
Between us both, we get the room in order and organized in a way Kian thinks she’ll be happy with in about two hours. The boxes are gone, Kian having taken them all down to put in recycling once we’d gotten them all broken down. Her clothes are all hung up and put away in her dresser that sits across from her king-sized bed. River took her shopping to pick out a new comforter, and it’s now on the bed, made up neatly. The deep purple color is a lot like the walls in her room at her parent’s, I note. Her books are put away on the two large shelves we got for her, organized by color. That’s my personal touch. I’m sure if she doesn’t like it, she’ll change it.
There was one particular box Kian dropped, blushing furiously after he opened it when we first started. When I took a peek inside, I nearly died of laughter. Ripley has a very interesting collection of adult toys. I put some away in her nightstand, and the rest I tucked away in her closet in a hinged box I found. I teased him the entire time it took me to put them away. Like he hasn’t seen toys before. Silly beta.
Ripley and River aren’t back by the time we’re done, so I decide on a shower. When I get out and see they still aren’t back, I decide to curl up in bed and try my book again. This time when I read, I don’t get stuck. It helps to keep my mind from worrying about my omegas for the time being. I hope they’re having fun and they’re safe.
Twenty-Two
River
Ripley’s tinkling laughter echoes around us in the practically empty funhouse we’re in. I brought her to a carnival that was happening a town over because I figured she’d love it. We’ve eaten way too much carnival food, ridden nearly every ride, and laughed more than anything. A fun night with just us two before she leaves with Syn was much needed. I know they’ll only be gone a few days, but I’ll miss them both. Can’t say I regret my procrastination though, because I got to spend time with my omega, which is much more important. Of course, I’d rather be going with them, but I also know they need their own time together, so this is perfect.
Look at me. Sharing and shit. Sort of.
“Come out, come out wherever you are, Little Bird,” I sing out tauntingly as I continue forward through the funhouse.
She’d run off giggling when we entered the room full of mirrors, knowing I’d struggle to find her in there with her showing up on all the mirrors, making her seem like she was everywhere at once. Every now and again, her giggles would reach me, but when I’d turn around, she wouldn’t be there. Little tease.
“When I find you, I’m spanking that pert little ass of yours,” I call out into the empty room.
She gasps before laughing again. “Don’t promise me a good time if you’re not going to follow through.” She calls back.
“Oh, baby,” I purr out. “You should know full well by now that I don’t make promises I don’t keep.”
I catch sight of her shiny black hair as she flees down the hallway and I take off after her, laughing as she runs, and I give chase. Right before she can escape into the next room, my arm wraps around her waist and I pull her body flush against mine, grinding my quickly hardening dick into her supple backside. She groans as my lips press against her ear.
