Chapter Twenty-Three

JASPER

L ast night, Tiny fell asleep while Tommy was still knotted inside of her. The two of us just stared at her in awe, uncaring of how it would have looked if anyone walked in.

Nothing else seems to matter other than how peaceful she looked in that moment.

We slept on the blow up mattress on the ground, and it really isn't large enough for us all. I rolled off several times, while Tommy snuggled Tiny close to him. Eh, worth it. Augustine and Gabe came in at some point, and I barely cracked open a lid as they chuckled and went to bed.

Tommy, Gabriel, and I are driving to Chicago today to deal with some logistics, pack up, and move back here. We're planning to put most of it into storage until we're able to decide on housing as a pack.

Which we haven't had a formal conversation about yet with Gabriel and Augustine, it's due to happen soon.

Tommy and I decided to donate all of the gym equipment that would work for his studio to Gabriel. We want to give him a little gift for his new business. The equipment is state of the art, and he mentioned that it doesn't make sense for us to set up a dummy gym just for them to train at. The fighting rings will benefit both of them.

Since we're all driving back together, the six hour ride will give us time to discuss this all.

"Why are you awake?" Cerenity mumbles as she shifts in the bed.

"I'm contemplating my life choices," I tease her. "We're going to Chicago to sort the businesses, our employees, and pack up our houses."

I also need to check in with my brothers and see how they're doing. Bentley is starting college this semester, so I worry less about him as the youngest sibling. He's super focused, but he's lived with me for the past five years, so I need to talk with him about if he'd rather live closer to me.

I'll never assume anything about my siblings again.

Each of them are so damn different. Jackson is the wild child, and currently traveling the country with a band. He doesn't even know Wren is safe and packed up, because he can't be fucked to pick up the damn phone.

Linus, on the other hand, is a lawyer in Missouri. I paid his way, which is the only reason he takes my calls once a week. He promised to reach out to his sister, but I don't think he appreciates that she's packed up with such violent men.

Oh well, you can't help who biology chooses for you.

"Jasper?" Cerenity asks as I blink. Fuck, I kind of got sucked into my head there.

"Yes, Tiny?" I ask, attempting to cover up for the fact that I lost the thread of our conversation. If she said anything to me, I missed it.

"You're thinking really hard over there," she teases me, even as she blushes. "Tell me something I don't know?"

God, there's so much. Fuck. Tommy saves the day by murmuring, "We have an apartment next door, and that's where we've been showering, or spending down time when you're not here."

"Next door where? I thought this entire floor was occupied," she says in surprise.

This is either going to go really well, or very badly. Glaring at him as I say, ‘ what the fuck,' with my gaze, Tommy just grins as he kisses Tiny's forehead. She melts into his body, even as she processes the information.

"What did you do?" Cerenity growls, making me snicker. I feel as if I was just a bad boy and I would happily let her whip my ass with a paddle.

"Tommy did it. I didn't!" I crow.

"Fuck, throw me under the bus why don't you," he groans. "I bribed your leasing manager to kick them out. When I went to the office, he was fucking the now ex-tenant over his desk."

"Ugh, he's kind of a sleaze," Cerenity mutters. "I've never had an issue with him because Auggie just deals with him, but he's a dick."

"Are you mad?" Tommy asks, turning to kiss down her body. Cerenity is still naked, while Tommy is wearing his sweatpants from last night. It gives him a lot of skin to kiss and nibble on.

Her long moan draws out a rumpled looking Augustine and Gabriel, both looking sleepy and half dressed.

"I'm not mad, I just can't believe you're sleeping on my floor when you have more room in an apartment next door," she says with a laugh.

Gabriel snorts, used to our antics, and Augustine rolls his eyes.

"They're committed to being around, Sweetheart," Augustine says. "How did you sleep?"

"Really good, actually," she says, looking happy. I want to keep that look on her face. "I hear we're going to have the apartment to ourselves soon, though."

"We'll be back tomorrow," Tommy reassures her. "Then, we won't really have much reason to go to Chicago unless it's to visit family. Marie is stubborn, and insists that she loves her job even though her boss is a dick."

"Is he?" I ask. I didn't know that.

"Yeah, he's always bothering her about not doing something correctly, even though Marie is very careful and thorough," he grumbles. "I'm sure we could find her a job in Minneapolis."

"She seems very independent," Cerenity says gently. "Remember what we discussed about choices?"

Tommy groans, burying his face in her tits to make her squeal.

"Fuck, now I'm hard and horny," Gabriel grumbles as Augustine smirks.

"Yes, you're right," Tommy murmurs, talking to Tiny. "We'll be back tomorrow, and then the fights are the day after."

"Fuck, where did the week go," Gabriel groans. "This'll be my last fight."

"Really?" Cerenity asks, and I realize we really haven't told her shit.

"I feel like we need a pack meeting or something," I sigh, glancing at Augustine with a raised eyebrow.

Shrugging, he nods. "I'm all in. My only interest is making sure Cere and Gabriel are happy," he says. "If she wants you two assholes too, so be it."

Cerenity sits up, wrapping a blanket around her, and Gabriel notices. Pulling off his tank-top, he tosses it to her with a wink. Flushing, she thanks him, pulling it on.

"You all have been busy it seems," she says, pointedly glancing at Tommy and I. "Read me in."

Laying it all out, I explain what's been happening the last few days. I know Tommy told her some things, but it's easier to go through it all, even if I'm being redundant. There's no reason to hide things now that we've started getting on better footing.

It's difficult to talk to someone when they're too busy icing you out.

"So that's why we're driving to Chicago today," I finish. "It'll tie up a lot of the loose ends, so that we can fully jump into life in Minneapolis with you."

Cerenity's eyes are wide and filling with tears at an alarming rate.

"What's wrong?" I ask, panicked. I am the kind of person who would rather kill whatever is making her upset, so I'm basically useless, since nothing is currently threatening her.

"Words, Cere," Augustine says, purring for her.

Gasping in a breath, she shrugs helplessly. "You're doing all of this, and I was so mean," she wails. "Your hair is blue, Tommy, and Jasper I made you pee on the wall!"

Augustine bursts into laughter as he climbs onto the mattress. I don't know how much the weight limit allows for, but I'm sure we're getting close to it.

"Cere," he says with a grin. "Baby, come on. You know the bastards deserved it."

Tommy rubs Cerenity's back gently, looking as if he's worried he'll break her. His blue hair spills across his shoulders, and Tiny keeps glancing over it in worry.

"Bluebell," he groans. "Look, you tried explaining what you needed, and we were too thick headed to get it. So, you made us listen. I don't ever want you to stop doing that, because sometimes my ears are broken."

Her lips tip up at his words and I nod, blowing out a breath. "I have oldest brother syndrome," I grunt. "I once tried to force my sister to leave her scent matches because I thought I knew better. I do not know better, and she put me in my place. Her men also would not hesitate to shoot me either, even though we're good friends."

"This is an alpha thing, isn't it?" she sniffles, making my lips twitch.

"I wish it was," Gabriel says, wincing as he kneels by the bed. Augustine is holding her hand, Tommy is now playing with her hair, and I'm hoping she stops crying soon. "I'm afraid I'm just as bad, because I've pushed Auggie away so many times over the years. I think it's a side effect of having a dick."

Cerenity snorts, laughing, and Gabriel smirks in triumph. Laughing is definitely better than crying. Fuck me, I've officially become a softy… somewhere.

"I'm taking you out on a date, Cere," Augustine tells her. "I need to take advantage of the fact that I have you alone. Be prepared for walking and eating."

"God, you really are the golden boy," Tommy groans. "Even I know Cerenity loves food."

"I really do," she says with a giggle. "Did you book us a food tour?"

"I did," Augustine replies. "I offered the open position of security management to Tay. He'll make more money there than scrubbing toilets at the club, and he has a military background."

"Why was he scrubbing toilets then?" I ask, confused. "Why didn't he start in security?"

"Xavier had a personal issue," he says, rolling his eyes. "Apparently, his scruples were screwed, and I should have been looking more closely at his decisions. No one mentioned anything, which means I had no idea. We had a come to Jesus about the issues surrounding staying quiet."

"Good," Cerenity sighs. "I don't want anyone to think they can't come to either of us with concerns."

"No, I think it was just Tay. He said he was worried because he was dishonorably discharged, which I already knew, because he told us both when he was hired," Augustine explains. Cerenity nods, so this is old news to them.

"So what's the problem?" I ask, confused.

"Xavier convinced him that we only hired him as long as he didn't make waves," he explains with a growl. "Xavier was ex-military as well, but looked down on Tay's dishonorable discharge. The reason he was released isn't an issue, and it has no bearing on his ability to do his job. He's an honest man. Now, he gets a promotion and a raise. The maintenance crew said they'd pitch in to check the bathrooms, and we have the cleaning crew that comes the following day. There wasn't really a need for Tay's position, I made it up on the spot when he asked if we were hiring."

Our luck runs out when the mattress explodes from underneath me, and we all shout in surprise.

"I knew we were reaching the maximum capacity for the weight limit," I say, laughing. "Rest in peace, mattress."

Cerenity gives me a kiss on the cheek with a wide grin, crawling off the now flat mattress. Tommy bites his fist as he stares at her bare pussy, groaning, the scent of our arousal mixing in the air as she looks over her shoulder. Her nostrils flare as her pussy slicks for me.

"Fuck. Absolutely not. You need to get on the road," she says, her voice husky with desire.

"It's such a pretty pussy, though, peanut," Gabriel growls, surprising me. "I didn't get to see you before bed. Can I fuck you in the shower with Augustine?"

"Yes," she whines. I've never watched an alpha move as fast as Augustine as he scoops her into his arms in a bridal carry, whispering words of praise in her ear as she perfumes.

Watching as they disappear, Tommy groans. "Fuck, I'm not leaving if I hear her pretty moans. I'm going to shower," he grunts, standing.

Happy I'm not going to have to wrestle his big ass, I get up as well, deciding I'll throw out the mattress when I come back from my shower. Thank fuck for two bathrooms in the apartment next door. I'm probably going to need to rub one out.

As Cerenity's first moan echoes through the apartment, I shove Tommy out the door, making sure to lock up behind us.

"Goddamn, she's a fucking siren," I mutter as we leave behind her apartment.

Nodding his head, Tommy agrees. "I'd follow that little omega into the fires of hell, and enjoy every moment though. The crazy part is that she doesn't even know the power she has over us."

CERENITY

I've never been tossed into someone else's arms before. The second Auggie cleared my bedroom door with me in his arms, I was airborne. Squealing, I gasp as Gabriel catches me with a wide grin.

"Peanut, did you really think I was going to drop you?" he asks as he bursts into motion. There's so much restless energy in his body. Gabe always seems to be in motion, or holding himself in place by force.

"Why do you call me that?" I ask as he flicks on the light and sits me on the counter. It's cold, making me hiss as my bare ass hits it.

Shoving off his boxers, he shrugs as he turns on the water so it'll warm up.

"You're tiny, baby girl," he says with a smirk. "There's this fierceness inside of you, though, which is why you're also the perfect mistress to Auggie's Daddy."

"I think I need to fuck your perfect ass to remind you who you belong to, Gabriel," Auggie growls, pulling Gabe into his arms to kiss him hard.

Pressing my thighs together, I watch them like a voyeur. God, they're so hot. Gabe's fighter build is thick and muscular, his tanned skin beautiful against Augustine's paler tone. Augustine's blondish-brown hair is longer than Gabriel's tight curls, and their facial hair is well groomed.

Licking my lips as I watch Augustine's deep V revealed as Gabe pushes off his boxers, my head drops back. I have to touch myself. God, they're so damn hot.

Lifting my legs to balance onto the edge of the counter, I drop them open as I push my fingers inside of my pussy. Chest already beginning to heave, I have to admit it's not going to take long for me to come. They have me so fucking worked up, it's absurd.

As my thumb begins to rub over my slick covered clit, Gabriel drops to his knees in front of Auggie now that his boxers are tossed to the side. Nostrils flaring, they both glance at me.

"Fuck, a part of me wanted to tell Auggie to eat you out while I get his dick wet, but the other part of me…"

"Wants to watch," Auggie growls, gripping Gabe's head in his hands. "Come on, baby boy. Open wide and get my dick wet. I don't feel like giving you any more lube than what your hard work offers."

Holy fuck.

Whining as I watch Gabriel follow Auggie's instructions, swallowing his alpha's thick, pierced dick down his throat. Rubbing my clit languidly to draw out my rising orgasm, I squeeze my breast with my other hand. Augustine's head drops back as he groans, and my body shudders in sympathy.

They work together like two lovers who have been together for years, because they have, despite their differences. Their hot, hooded gaze stays on me, though, as Augustine pulls Gabe's face down to his knot.

"Yes," he hisses. "Let the saliva dribble from your lips. That's it, just like that. Fuck, yeah. Suck on my knot, little cum slut."

Keening, I come with a half scream at his words as if they were meant for me.

"Your mouth is so fucking dirty," I gasp.

Augustine draws Gabe up to breathe with a filthy grin before he kisses him, pulling him to stand.

"You both fucking love it," Auggie growls. "Get in the shower before it gets too cold for the princess."

Scrambling, we both get into the shower, and I stifle a giggle as I wonder which of us is the princess, Gabe or me. Augustine gets in behind me, pulling me into his arms to kiss me. He tastes vaguely of mint and watermelon after kissing Gabriel, and I moan into his mouth.

"Are you going to be a good girl for Gabriel, or the pretty little brat you are?" Augustine asks with a chuckle.

"Can't I be both?" I ask with innocent, wide eyes.

"God, she's just as bad as I am," Gabriel says. "Will you tell me if it's too much, Cere? I won't be in control once Augustine is fucking me into you."

"Baby, I can take it," I tell him, leaping into his arms. My skin is wet from the spray of the water, but he still catches me easily.

Gabriel swats my ass, making me squeal before my back hits the tile wall. "I could have dropped you," he growls against my lips. God, why is that so sexy? "Cere, you're precious. Don't take risks."

His lips press against mine as he gently kisses me. The pressure gets more and more intense as he presses the crown of his cock at my entrance. Teasing me, he slowly pushes himself inside of my pussy, making my eyes cross with pleasure.

"Gabe," I gasp, writhing. "Please!"

"You'll take what I want to give you, because you won't get a choice later. Just feel, baby," he groans.

Clenching around him, I enjoy his curse as he thrusts a little deeper, keeping the punishing, slow pace until I'm moaning as he stretches me.

"Such a patient little omega," he praises me, making me whimper as I slick even more down his cock. "You're taking my cock so well, but I think Augustine is getting a little impatient."

The alpha in question fists his cock as he watches us, lips parted as he starts to breathe hard from the exertion of holding back. Sweat from the steam in the shower slides down his chest, making my mouth salivate.

"I am," he grunts, moving behind Gabriel. "This ass is always so damn tight for me."

Squatting behind him, he spreads Gabe's ass well as he spits on his tight hole. Gasping, I clench around Gabriel's cock, making him cry out. I can't help it though. Standing, Auggie lines his cock up with Gabriel's asshole, spearing him with a thrust.

Gabriel groans, holding me tightly as his cock twitches inside of me. His face drops to the crook of my neck, his teeth biting me hard, just shy of breaking skin. Screaming, I detonate around him, coming hard as Auggie begins to fuck Gabriel into me.

The pace is hard and fast, and I can barely breathe from the intense stimulation. Everything feels perfect yet too much.

My vision whitens as I strangle Gabe's cock. He loses the ability to speak as he growls unintelligently before kissing me.

"I'm close," he yells, his hands gripping me so tightly as my heels dig into his ass. "Fuck yes. Fuck me back, baby. Attagirl, like that."

Augustine grunts as his hips piston as he fucks Gabriel harder and rougher than the last thrust. The beta's pupils are blown wide with desire, and I know he's loving every damn minute of it.

My nerve endings are lit aflame as his cock drags over them perfectly. I'm so wet, my pussy makes a sucking sound with every thrust, desperate to keep him as deep inside of me as possible.

I don't need a knot, but I do want Gabriel's cum.

"Gabe," I keen. "I need you to come for me. Fill me up like a dirty whore."

"Fuck," Augustine roars, slamming his hand against the tile by my head as he pushes us harder against the wall.

My best friend is so often in control, it's hot as fuck to watch him lose it. I can hear his grunt as he begins to push his knot into Gabe's ass, and his whimper confirms it. I know Auggie will tease him with his knot, stretching Gabe's tight hole, but won't knot him completely or they'll be locked for awhile. Rubbing his hair as I hold tightly to him, I whisper praise to Gabe.

"You're doing so well, taking our alpha's fat cock," I gasp. My skin is pebbling from the cool tile and the intensity of the moment, and my nipples could cut glass right now.

Dropping his mouth to one, Gabe sucks hard, biting down to make me squeal.

"So responsive," he grunts. "Daddy, I'm too close. Knot me, fuck me, for God's sakes, come with me."

Auggie shudders as he drops the hand on the wall to Gabe's balls. "Come for me, and you'll bring me with you. Do it, baby boy. Pull me with you," he growls.

As if he's the orgasm whisperer, Gabriel gives a low groan as he grinds his pelvis against my clit. Keening, I come as if on command, and he finds his release with me. Augustine roars as he empties himself into Gabriel‘s tight hole. His knot is spreading the beta wide, but isn't fully inside of him.

Breaths shaky between the three of us, Gabe and Augustine can barely hold themselves up. Gabriel kisses my lips, eyes, and cheeks, asking if I'm okay, and Auggie raises his green gaze to check on me.

"You're perfect, aren't you, Sweetheart?" he asks with a wide smile.

"Better than," I agree breathlessly. Slowly, Augustine pulls out of Gabriel as the beta hisses in a mixture of pain and pleasure.

Together, they wash me as Gabe lifts me off his cock and makes sure I can stand. My fingers twitch from the intense orgasms and my heart is pounding, but I am good.

They're so gentle, and somehow, I can see myself doing this more with them. Making a life, but still keeping my independence.

Most of all, I can feel the broken pieces of my heart finding a new place, a name assigned to each piece. Fuck, I love them all. The fights, flirting, and snuggles turned into something special.

I can't wait to see where this goes, even if I am worried about unknown threats.
