Page 90 of Knot Gonna Give You Up
He smirks and nods once. Seems like he’s come to the same conclusion and is comfortable with it. Honestly, so am I. These last few weeks have been amazing, and the fear I once had seems silly now. When the right people are involved, Pack is great.
“What is it?” Josie asks.
“I was just thinking how happy I’ve been over the last few weeks. Getting to give you presents, interacting with the guys, and even just now as we all just existed together. Then it hit me that this is what it means to be Pack. Just being here for each other.”
She grins, “I never thought of it that way before. You’re right, though, it’s all of that and more. I’m really happy that you’re here, Simon, please know that.”
“I do, I promise,” I respond.
“What about me?” Jesse teases, a small smile on his face.
Josie giggles, “Yes, you too, my silent Alpha.”
“Damn straight,” he replies and settles back in.
There’s a pause in the conversation, but it doesn’t feel awkward. I know what I want to say, I just need to Alpha up and say it. My eyes glance between the two of them as I work up the courage to just say the damn thing.
“Guys… I’m ready. Whenever you want,” I say.
Josie’s face lights up in a wide smile, while Jesse’s face is a mixture of happiness and relief. I’m not sure if the relief is because I’m finally ready sohecan bond, or if it’s just because I’m ready. Either way, it feels encouraging, and I’ll take it. Josie snatches up her phone and sends out a text message in our group chat.
Josie
Vic, Henry, are you busy? The correct answer is “no.”
Henry
Lol, I’m never too busy for you, Omega. What’s up?
Josie
Simon wants to change his name. He’s now going to be Bond, Simon Bond.
Henry
… Babe, I love you, but that was terrible.
Jesse
Agreed. I’m sitting here listening to her giggle over it, too.
Vic
Lucky bastard. I’m free. Nest?
Josie
Nest
Henry
Wait, why are we going to the nest?
Vic
Oh, honey…
Henry
