Ronan replied with a wry expression as his own thoughts drifted to the men in his bedroom, especially his husband, whose lavender honey aroma was driving him half-crazy at the moment.
The twins walked over with Zayne between them. They carried backpacks with clothes for the next few days. Ronan squatted down and the boys enveloped him in a hug.
“Take care of Daddy,” Kino told his father seriously.
Ronan nodded, just as seriously. “I will.” He knew his boys had received some education about heats in school but wasn’t sure how much they understood. At least enough to keep from protesting when he’d explained that they’d be staying at Dayson’s house.
“Good,” Garin said. “And we’ll take care of Zayne.”
Dayson chuckled. “I’ll be taking care of your brother, my little alpha. You don’t need to worry.”
Garin hmphed.
“It’ll be okay, Garin. Dayson’s gonna read to us lots,” Zayne said sleepily.
“I certainly will.” Dayson placed a hand on Zayne’s head and Ronan delighted in the boy’s look of wonder as he felt the omega bond. “Now, give your papa one more kiss and let’s head off. I know it’s early, but the grocery store is probably open. You can all pick out some snacks for my place.”
The boys hustled into the car.
“Thanks again, my friend.” Ronan shook Dayson’s hand.
“No problem.” Dayson winked. “Have fun.”

Returning upstairs, Ronan foundthe omegas naked and wrapped up in one another. His already-hard cock strained in his sweatpants at the sight. Lust heated his face.
Sorcha had propped himself up against the headboard and Teal was draped over him. The bigger omega was completely dazed, but not in a worrying way. Ronan was grateful Teal had made his wishes clear before he’d essentially passed out.
He just wished his betas would yield to the situation. Because by the end of this heat, they would no doubt behisbetas. His and Teal’s and Sorcha’s.
But Jax and Niall held back, even though their interest was undeniable, their prominent erections outlined by close-fitting joggers. They took their shirts off and stared at the omegas with heat in their eyes, but didn’t move toward the bed, instead standing awkwardly on either side.
Ronan couldn’t have that. He wanted to give his husband exactly what he wished for. Even if Teal wasn’t fully aware, he believed Teal could sense what was happening.
His inner alpha surfaced, demanding he put his men at ease, demanding he deliver pleasure to all of them.
He needed to take charge of this situation. The others were waiting for him to be the driver.
Ronan wouldn’t disappoint them.
Stripping off his tee, Ronan walked over to Jax and ran a hand boldly over the man’s torso, causing him to shiver. Trailing his fingertip over Jax’s tattoos, he pressed lightly on the intricate lines. He paused on the beta pride symbol over Jax’s heart before leaning down to kiss where his finger had been. Jax sucked in a breath as Ronan mouthed his chest, licking his way down the hard plains of the beta’s abdomen and up again until he lashed his hot pink tongue across Jax’s pebbled nipples.
Jax clutched Ronan to his chest. “Fuuuuuuuck,” he breathed, as Ronan continued torturing first one nipple and then the other, nibbling them deftly between his teeth.
Ronan worked his way up Jax’s neck, plastering kisses across his jaw until, finally, their lips met.
Ronan had never kissed anyone as large and solid as Jax. He growled as he gripped the beta’s hips, his fervor intensified by the intoxicating scent of Teal’s slick. Plunging his tongue into Jax’s mouth, Ronan savaged his lips. After a beat of shock, Jax rose to the challenge, giving no quarter as his hands came up to grasp Ronan’s shoulders. Steadying himself, Jax pushed their chests together as they kissed and battled for dominance.
Sorcha’s hushed voice reverberated in the dimly-lit room. “Fuck, that’s so hot.”
“The hottest,” Niall agreed.
Ronan pulled his mouth back but kept them locked together from chest to cock to thigh by looping his brawny arms around Jax’s waist.
“My beta,” Ronan rasped, unwilling to apologize for the term. “You know what Teal wanted. And you know it’s what we all want. Let us have no more resistance in this bed. Let’s love one another, and pleasure one another, and take what we need.”
Jax squeezed his eyelids shut before opening them again. His dark stare met Ronan’s.
