There’s a bang downstairs and thundering footsteps on the stairs. Gideon has ten seconds to brace himself before their pack leader is in the door. He’s a lot less sweaty from having run at top speed for twenty minutes than he should be.
“Did you run here?” Grayson mumbles.
He’s got a protein bar in his mouth, and Luca is sucking on his right nipple. The room smells like sex-in-a-bakery (If they had only known how right Rowan had been that first time he said it…well, they still wouldn’t have told him).
Nix holds onto Gideon’s neck but reaches a hand out to Jay.
“Fuck no, I didn’t run. Are you kidding? Who does that? I found an Uber on the other side of the jam.” He pulls his hoodie off and drops it into the nest.
“Oh, baby boy, you smell so good. Fuck. Come here.”
Nix hesitates, and Gideon is gratified that he’s at least reluctant to choose Jay over him.
“Gideon?” he asks uncertainly, when Gideon just holds him more firmly. He’s not upset about Nix going to Jay.
It’s not like he and Nix won’t get their chance.
“Gideon,” Jay growls. “Give me—” He growls again, and the scent of burning pine bursts from every pore—dominance and come-let-me-fuck-you rolled into one. Their leader’s muscles bulge, and he seems broader, more imposing.
Like a switch being flipped, it’s a pure dominant enigma in rut—and it’s two fucking months early.
Gideon groans as Nix falls forward into Jay’s waiting arms.
Wasting no time, Jay flips Nix over until he’s resting on his belly, one leg propped up so Jay can get at his sopping wet hole. Jay licks up their omega’s spine with the flat of his tongue. He doesn’t bite, and even through his rut haze, it warms Gideon’s heart to see that he’s thinking of his mate’striggers.
“So pretty, baby boy. Look at you.”
He runs a hand under Nix’s hips and pulls his hard dick back underneath him. Gideon knows firsthand that it’s uncomfortable—but worth it for the dual pleasure it brings when Jay can rim his partner and suck his dick in the same space.
Jay sets about doing that while Nix moans, and Gideon can see the globs of slick and come slipping out when he alternates between sucking at his hole and sucking the head of Nix’s dick.
Gideon sits between them and the door, so when a naked Finn and Leo slip in, Jay isn’t bothered to check who’s entering the den. There’s a tingle of pride in Gideon’s belly that his alpha trusts him to protect the pack while Jay works to make their treasure come.
“You’re so wet for me. Come, baby.”
Jay’s hand is under Nix’s cock when he does as he’s told, coming hard and loud. Jay sucks the slick from Nix’s hole while he offers their omega’s come to Leo, who licks the hand clean before he lets Rowan put him on his hands and knees.
“Holy fuck, Jay is in rut?” Finn whispers, and he goes to his belly beside Nix.
“Hi, Nixie,” he says, kissing his slack mouth. “Do you feel good?”
Nix’s eyes roll back, and his moan is long and low. Jay is holding his hips up so he can fuck into his mate, slow and deep, grinding at the end.
“Mmmm, yes. So good. Help, please. Need to come.”
Jay picks up speed, sweat running in rivulets down his chest, and the slapping of slick skin makes Gideon groan.
Finn has a front-row seat to Jay’s cock splitting Nix wide open, and slides one hand up the inside of Nix’s thigh. He must manage to get a hand on his dick, because their omega keens and shudders apart, calling their alpha’s name.
Jay pushes in tight, and his knot must lock in place because his eyes flash red, and he howls before falling over onto Nix’s back.
The others sigh, and Leo groans in Rowan’s hold, making Gideon holdback a smirk; the big alpha’s knot is no joke.
“Come here, puppy,” Gideon whispers, and Finn crawls over to him.
“Need to come?”
Holding his arms out, his mate turns so he can rest his back against Gideon’s chest as he sits on spread knees. It allows Gideon’s hard cock to slide between his cheeks while Gideon puts two hands around Finn’s cock. The alpha pumps his hips, fucking up into the tight hold while grinding down over Gideon’s.
