Knox lets out an exaggerated groan and flashes Lucas his bedroom eyes. “Sayfiduciaryagain, baby.”
“Fiduciary,” Lucas purrs. “Escrow. Assets. Collateral.”
Ava turns into Lucas’s embrace, kissing him hard and deep, and that’s all it takes for something to snap. Maybe it’s the thrill of new walls and empty rooms. Maybe it’s the overwhelming feeling ofours.Whatever it is, it sparks like wildfire.
I grab Declan’s shirt and pull him into a kiss, fierce and needy. His mouth crashes into mine like he’s been holding backsince the drive started. Behind us, I hear Ava’s breath hitch, and Lucas murmur something low against her skin.
Knox is the first to move. “Gunner’s dog bed is in the living room,” he says, already backing toward the stairs with a wicked glint in his eyes. “Bedroom’s upstairs.”
We follow in a tangle of hands and laughter, Ava and I side by side, pulled between our alphas and our beta, the whole house echoing with our energy.
The room at the top of the stairs is bare, just a big mattress on the floor and sunlight streaming in through an open window. Ava’s in front of me, shirt already halfway over her head. I grab her by the waist and kiss the bare skin of her back.
Declan comes up behind me and pulls my shirt off.
“No bra?” He sounds a little in awe.
“Well, you said you had a surprise, and…”
“I talked her into it.” Ava spins around to face me, gaze dropping shamelessly to my chest. For a brief moment, I fight the reflexive need to cover up, but the way she’s looking at me makes me feel brave, so I reach around and unclasp her bra, then press closer and kiss her. Her skin feels amazing against mine. Her hands skim my sides, mine returning the favor.
Lucas pulls Ava’s leggings down as Declan does the same to my athletic shorts, and then there’s only skin—bare and hot and hungry. For a moment, I’m unaware of anything or anyone but Ava. My very own Wicked Witch of the Pool who’s cast the most beautiful spell on me. I never thought we’d be here. Never thought she’d prove to be so soft, so real, so… mine.
She’s everything I never knew I needed. And I’m never letting her go.
I feel teeth at my neck before I register whose mouth it is. Declan. Sucking my pulse point and making my core molten. While Ava and I kiss, our men undress, surrounding us with naked desire.
Knox licks Ava’s neck, making her moan as she reclaims my lips. His hands come to my waist, pulling us toward the bed, sandwiched between our alphas. We stumble onto the mattress, a tangle of limbs sliding against sensitive skin. Knox makes anoomphsound as we all land on top of him. Our kiss breaks into a laugh. Declan rolls me off Ava, onto my back.
He’s on me a heartbeat later, his hands rough in all the ways I like, his mouth everywhere—jaw, throat, chest. My legs part on instinct, seeking him, needing him inside me, under me, around me.
Ava gasps as Knox flips her onto her stomach and pulls up her hips. Lucas moves to the side of the bed, one hand slowly stroking his cock as he watches us. Ava reaches for him, but he shakes his head.
“Later, omega,” he says. “This is about you and Emily.” He looks past her to wink at me. “I enjoy watchingmyalphas withmygirls.”
Lucas enjoys being the voyeur almost as much as I enjoy being watched. Something I only realized about myself once I met him. I smile and blow him a kiss.
Ava reaches for me at the same time as I reach for her, curling my fingers with hers. She laces them tight, and the look she gives me is nothing short of wild.
“I love you,” she whispers, and I don’t know if she means me or all of us, but it doesn’t matter. It’s true either way.
“I love you too.”
The rumble of purrs from our alphas sends a wave of desire right between my thighs.
Declan kisses my temple, then nips at the sensitive spot beneath my jaw. “Do you want to feel it?” he murmurs, voice gravel and silk. “Feel how much I love you?”
“Yes,” I breathe. “Bite me. Mark me.”
He groans low, the thick heat of him pressing against me as he pushes inside, slow and deep. My head falls back with a cry. Every inch of me opens to him, and when he bottoms out, the emotion between us hums like struck copper.
Beside me, on her knees with her hips raised, Ava moans as Knox whispers something in her ear and enters her from behind.
“Gorgeous,” Lucas says. His knees hit the bed, and though his hand is on his cock, it’s not moving, he’s just watching. And even though he’s not touching any of us, I feel his gaze, his presence.
Lucas. My fellow beta. The one whose open, generous heart led us here. ‘I love you,’I mouth silently to him as Declan glides in and out of me and Ava grips my hand.
‘I love you,’he mouths back.
