Three auras flared all at once. Leighton purred so loud I could hear it from here, and Dash’s cock went hard against my ass. Bonding didn’thaveto mean sex, but there was no reason not to—and people said the claiming was especially intense if done at the peak of pleasure.
“Are you saying now, little omega?” Dash murmured. “Because I heard now, and I’m about to remove every single piece of clothing you’re wearing.”
I was in tight leggings and a loose-fitting t-shirt—one that belonged to Ambrose. Reaching down, I grabbed the hem of the shirt. It was off me in a second, and Dash was burying his face in my cleavage. I’d gone braless today.
“Fuck,” he groaned. “You’re so fucking perfect, Kiara.”
My body hummed in response, sending tingles and slick between my legs. More hands landed on me and my leggings were worked down over my ass and thighs. The position was awkward, with Dash in the recliner, but eventually I was in his lap, straddling him in only a pair of panties.
He’d undone his pants and shoved them down just far enough to expose his cock. It was already leaking, despite having barely been touched.
All my alphas scents were in the air, but only Leighton stayed close. She’d been the one to help me get undressed, and now she was leaning in, her tongue stroking over the dark bond on my neck. I shivered, the darkened skin extra sensitive compared to the rest of my body.
Then Dash dragged me forward and kissed me frantically, our lips smashing together. I moaned against him, rubbing my clit along his cock a few times before lifting my hips. I reached down to position his cock properly against me, but Leighton beat me to it. She shoved my panties to the side, the material digging into my skin. His tip was pressed to my entrance, and I sank down with a long moan.
Leighton’s hand snuck between Dash and I, touching me as I bounced on his length.
His grunts and groans were music, his cock thick and long inside me. I wasn’t patient, though, and moved back from the kiss quickly, baring my neck.
“Claim me,” I murmured.
Dash groaned, leaning in to kiss along my shoulder and neck. His lips trailed over Leighton’s bond, but when he kissed the spot Cordian had bitten me, I froze.
My knees locked, a whine leaving me as I recalled the fiery pain the other alpha’s bite had left. I tried to block it out. I’d been trying for weeks. As much as I didn’t fear the Ashby pack, I was still terrified of what they’d done.
Of someone trying to do it again.
“Don’t dark bond me.” The words came out as a pleading whisper.
Dash let out a shaky breath, growls coming from my other alphas. “I would fucking never. You get a normal bond. There’s no reason for me to give you a dark bond, little omega, because I don’t want to control you.”
Heat surrounded me from all sides, the others crowding around the recliner. My mates touched me gently where they could, and the situation was so different than it had been with Cordian that I relaxed.
Cordian had touched me as little as he could. He didn’t want the bond anymore than I had. This was vastly different. I was desperate for a permanent bond with my pack. I just hadn’t realized it would be this difficult.
Tilting my head, I offered him the other side of my neck. I didn’t want his bite where Cordian’s had been. The scabs were mostly gone now, but if Dash bit me there I would remember what the other bite had looked like forever.
Dash trailed the tip of his finger across my neck, sliding strands of hair out of the way. “You want me here?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“We don’t have to do this now,” Leighton said.
I shook my head. “No. They’re mine. I want it to be permanent.”
She opened up our bond, showing me her worry and affection for me. I did the same, giving her a stark look at my fear. The only thing stronger than it was determination.
Her finger started stroking my clit again and I let out a little whimper. My workload was severely diminished this time, because all my alpha’s hands helped me bounce on Dash’s cock.
He kissed and licked at the spot I’d offered him, groaning and waiting until both of us were on the precipice of orgasm. Then, his teeth sank in.
Leighton accepted him instantly, letting his pack become part of ours.
This bond was so much stronger than the ones I’d had with him before. He wasn’t a faint presence in the distance. Dash was inside me, his feelings melding with mine. Our auras swirled together, and for a moment my world was only spring rain and peaches.
Then the bubble burst and I cried out, my back arching as I came.
