“But,” I tucked a curl behind her ear and wiped away her tears with my thumb. “We aren’t pressuring you. This is only what you want.”
Her brow furrowed as confusion tinged her expression. “Do you not want to take the next step?”
The question was muttered so low, I could barely hear it. It was as if all the oxygen was sucked out of the car and I couldn’t breathe.
Had I not shown her how much we wanted her? Fucking hell, I was such an idiot at times.
“Alena, I hope we haven’t given you that impression. I can speak for all of us when I say that it’s literally driving us mad not to claim you and make you ours in every way.” I pressed my forehead to hers, letting her feel the sincerity in my words.
“Elias,” she choked out. “I’m sorry. No, you haven’t made me feel that way. I just can’t help the stupid voice in the back of my head telling me I’m not good enough for you guys.”
A chorus of growls echoed around us. “Absolutely not,” Simon growled.
“Baby girl, no,” Julian cooed. “If anyone isn’t good enough, it’s us for you.”
Alena shook her head and opened her mouth to speak, but Xavier cut her off with a finger over her lips. “No, Princess. No more talk of worth or listening to those voices. Listen to our voices. We promise never to lie to you. Every word we utter is the truth of our hearts, and you are the sunshine that entered our world of eternal night. Because of you, we can finally feel the sunshine on our faces and really experience life and love.”

ALENA
Xavier’s words cut through me like a hot knife through butter. Piercing my soul and spreading me wide open for them to see every part of me. Vulnerable.
Laid open and bare before them.
Simon cleared his throat, cutting through the tension. “How about we go inside where we can be more comfortable?”
I nodded, thankful for the small moment to breathe.
Elias and Julian arranged the top half of my dress back to cover my breasts, as Xavier tried to secure my skirt down. The way he tore it made it pretty much impossible.
“Do you want to change and meet us downstairs for dinner first?” Simon asked, his smooth accent washing over me, calming my nerves and focusing me back to the present.
The guys had given me unimaginable pleasure, but I had only been with one man. And they weren’t pleasant experiences.
What if I didn’t live up to their expectations? Gah, I was such a sap. Why was I thinking this way? These men had shown me a whole other world of possibilities and love.
They were patient and kind. Loving and protective. Everything that an omega could ever want in a mate circle.
“Hey,” Elias whispered softly and cupped my cheek in his palm. “How about I carry you upstairs so you can get changed or take a quick shower, Simon will get started on dinner and Julian will bring your flamingo up?”
“Good idea.” A small smile tilted my lips as I nodded.
“Men, you have your assignments.” Elias opened the limo door and climbed to his feet before reaching back in to secure me in his arms.
The rest of the guys followed out the other door, Julian and Xavier reaching the trunk to retrieve my beautiful flamingo.
“This thing seems even bigger now,” Xavier grumbled as he took it into his arms.
Julian growled and snatched it away from him. “I get to carry it. I won it for her, not you.”
“You’re going to pay for that, little beta.” Xavier’s eyes narrowed and a deep growl filled the air.
“Psht,” Julian scoffed. “I’d like to see you try.”
Xavier lunged for Julian, his eyes shining with amusement as he fought to control the smile on his face. Julian held the flamingo up to shield himself as Xavier crashed into him.
“No! Not Pinky!” I giggled at their antics and reached out for my flamingo.
