TWENTY
BRAN
"Are we going to pretend that our omega's scent isn't slamming into us like a wall of irresistible lust?" I whispered to Leo after James carried our girl down the hall.
Leo's eyes watched them intently until they turned into the bedroom before he walked after them. "I'm drowning in the scent of her. I don't know how we've managed to stay complacent up until now."
"It's so fucking good," I tilted my head back, growling as I walked through the bedroom door.
Following the sound of the shower, Leo and I walked into the bathroom, only to stop in our tracks, freezing at the beautiful sight in front of us. Our alpha, on his knees in front of our omega, as he wiggled her pants down her hips had my cock instantly weeping. Our omega's little hand was on his shoulder, using it to balance her movements.
How he was maintaining his composure in this moment was a miracle. Maybe that was why he was the alpha, because me, a beta, would pull her closer and devour every crevice of her body.His strength was my weakness, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Without further instruction, I reached my hands toward my back, gripping the material and pulling my shirt over my head. I tossed it on the floor, before reaching for my pajama pants, letting them drop. Our omega's eyes met mine, her breath caught as she looked at my body, and the reaction she gave me only made me want to preen. I knew we wouldn't have sex with her tonight, even if my dick didn't understand, but nothing could keep me away from getting in that shower with her.
I offered the omega a smirk, before I walked over to the cabinet, pulling out four fluffy towels. When I turned around, Leo had also stripped out of his clothing. He walked toward the omega, his hand outstretched, ready to take her from our alpha, but James growled, forcing Leo to pause.
"Nice try, but the omega stays with me," James's voice rumbled from his chest as he removed his clothing. "Come, omega, let's get you clean so we can sleep."
He didn't wait for a response, only pulled her under the spray of water, soaking her body while he held her close. Last month I never would have thought I'd see such a sight. Now? Now I couldn't get enough of the images of my alpha and my omega together. My mind conjured up so many things that made my blood boil, and I only hoped we had an opportunity to let them play out one day.
I stepped forward, followed by Leo, skirting around their bodies so that we flanked them on each side. Then, I reached for some shampoo and poured it onto my hand. I raked the shampoo through our omega's hair as James held her close, causing the dark strands to lighten with suds and bubbles. When I was sure it was clean, I took the showerhead down, before using it to rinse off the soap.
Before I had a chance to grab the conditioner, Leo was there, pouring the thick cream into his hand before working it through the layers of her silky hair. A slight moan left her, and my beta roared with the pleasure of the sound.
Mine. Claim. Own.
If only it was that easy.
Pushing his desires aside, I stepped forward, handing the alpha the loofah lathered with body wash. He took it from my hand, stepping back from the omega, before running the soapy puff over her skin, starting at her shoulder, moving over her neck before bringing it lower, keeping eye contact the whole time.
"You helped a lot this evening, omega," he murmured, praising her. "We're happy to repay the favor."
"Yes," her breathy voice was barely audible as she flung her head back, gasping as the loofah ran over her sensitive skin.
We watched in awe, our mouths hung open as her eyes fluttered, the water sprayed over her skin, and her chest heaved at his touch. She was a fucking masterpiece and so fucking beautiful it was nearly painful to look at. I never wanted to turn away. Her skin was sensitive, probably burning from the onset of heat we all knew was coming. Every touch made her cheeks redden and her chest heave, and she looked so perfect against our alpha.
The alpha dropped to his knees in front of her. His arm snaked around her back to pull her close, before kissing her navel. Her fingers touched the top of his head, running through his hair before hugging his head close to her body. Perfect. How was my family so perfect?
James pulled back, running the loofah over the rest of her skin, gently going between her thighs, and down her inner leg. "Omega."
"Hmm?" Her eyes were closed, her body falling back to relax against Leo's as he stood behind her.
"Your heat is near."
She squirmed in place, her body knowing even as she denied. "I think I've got time."
"You don't," James's voice wasn't harsh, only speaking facts. "When it hits, I don't know if I could keep my alpha away from biting you, claiming you, making you mine for always. I need to know if that is okay?"
Her eyes were closed when she inhaled, lost in her own bliss of the lulling moment. When she didn't answer, he prompted again, tapping her leg. "Omega. I need an answer."
Her eyes popped open at the demanding tone, searching for the eyes of the demanding alpha. "Yes, alpha. Bite me."
A rumble left him, the force so strong it shook the foundation at our feet. Leo cleared his throat, "Alpha, just a reminder that our omega needs rest."
The look the alpha shot Leo could be classified as deadly. But he nodded his agreement before reaching forward and turning off the water. Then he reached out of the shower, grabbed a towel, then wrapped it around the omega. He grabbed his own towel, wrapping it around his hip, then picked her up, carrying her out of the bathroom. Leo and I quickly dried off, eager to follow them.
In the bedroom, James laid her on the bed, and I grabbed the lotion off the dresser. After squirting some into my palm, I handed the bottle to Leo, who filled his palm and passed it to James. Then together we worked the cream over our omega's body, making sure not an inch of skin was missed.
