42. Lily

Chapter 42

Lily

M y breath hitches as Jack's familiar scent of summer rain hits my senses, but it's not enough comfort. Not now. Curled up in the foetal position, my arms over my head, tears sliding down my face as my body trembles.

"I can't go back," I whisper. "I can't go back."

"That's not even an option," Jack whispers, keeping his voice low. "They're gone, Lily. It's safe to come out."

"I can't."

He lifts up the cover that falls to the floor around his bed, hiding me from the danger outside. "Lily, look at me."

I peek out at him, his cute face worried but smiling all the same.

"That's my girl,"' he murmurs. "You're safe. We won't let anything happen to you, I promise."

"They're going to come back."

"If they do, they will have three rabid alphas to get past first. You're safe, Lily. I swear, I won't let them take you back."

I bury my face again, just wanting to disappear to a faraway land where no one will ever find me.

"Lily," Jack says. "If we mate with you now, you will be safe."

My dry mouth makes it difficult to swallow back the gulp. I start coughing, trying to stifle it, which makes it even worse.

Jack reaches out, gently rubbing my arm as I try to regain control of my breath. His touch is soothing, and I slowly start to calm down.

I finally look up at him, seeing the worry in his eyes. The fear still gnaws at me, but I'm calmer now.

"We won't let those bastards take you back," he continues. "Mating with us will give you protection. They'll have no claim over you if you're bonded with us. It will be more trouble for them than they probably want to bring to their door."

"I don't want any of you to feel forced into doing this."

"Oh, Lily. We aren't. This was the plan, wasn't it? You said so yourself, and we all agreed before those arseholes showed up here. We were waiting for Sam, remember, or it would already be done."

My mind races as I think about what he's saying. Yes, it was the plan, but now I just feel like they're doing it to protect me, not because they really want to. My brain is fried from the terror of hearing them coming for me. If I'd been on my own, I'd be back with the Trials right now. I can't think straight and it's making me doubt everything.

"Don't doubt us," Jack says.

I hear the smile in his tone as he reads my thoughts with alarming accuracy like he always has.

It makes me peek up at him again. "I can't help it."

"Please don't. I love you, Lily. I want to mate with you. It's what I've always wanted. You are everything to me, please come out so we can make my dream come true."

His sassy grin makes me giggle.

"That's better," he says.

Jack's hand reaches out under the bed, palm up, waiting for mine. "Now come on. Let's take this one step at a time."

Reluctantly, I reach out and grab his hand. Jack gives it a gentle squeeze before helping me crawl out from under the bed. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me into a comforting hug.

"You're safe now," he murmurs.

As I lean into him, I hear footsteps approaching the room and tense up, staring at the doorway in panic. Max and Sam are hovering, Sam holding a cup of tea, which he offers to me with a gentle smile.

"Thought you might need this," Sam says softly.

I accept the cup gratefully and take a sip. The warmth of the tea soothes my throat and helps calm my nerves further.

"Thank you," I murmur, giving Sam a small smile in return.

Max steps forward, his usual confidence faltering just slightly as he reaches out to touch my arm. "Lily, we'll protect you at any cost. We want to mate with you because you are ours in every sense of the word. But it will also protect you."

I nod, tears welling up in my eyes, but feeling more hopeful than before. Their presence alone makes me feel stronger. "Okay," I say huskily and hand the tea back to Sam. He places it down on the desk in the corner and whips his tee off, showing off his hard body with those abs that I want to drool all over.

"What? That's it? No romantic dinner first?" I joke, nervously, my palms sweating.

He chuckles. "Nah, let's get straight to the main event."

Despite the laughter, I can see how worried they all are. But I also know they want this. They want to give me their mating bites, as much as I want to give them mine.

After stripping off, Jack lifts me onto the bed gently, laying me down as Sam and Max undress quickly. The look of raw desire in their eyes makes my pulse quicken. They surround me on the bed, each touching me with reverence.

Max leans down first, kissing me deeply while his hand caresses my hip. Jack works on removing my clothes bit by bit around Max and his slow kisses. I soon start to relax as the atmosphere shifts into something more hedonistic. Jack throws my top and skirt onto the floor, followed by my bra and knickers. Max moves down to spread my legs wide as Sam kneels beside me. I take his engorged cock in my hand and stroke him. He lets out a longing groan and closes his eyes. Max dips his head between my thighs and sucks my clit into his mouth with a skill that makes my back arch and my breath hitch. His tongue dances over me, flicking and swirling in ways that make me delirious with pleasure.

Jack claims my mouth, his kisses urgent and demanding. I take his cock in my other hand, his hardness pressing against my palm.

I gasp as Max's fingers thrust deep inside my pussy, sliding into me with an ease that makes me moan. Sam continues to groan as I work his length with determined strokes. "Fuck, Lily," he mutters, "you're perfect."

Jack moves down to kiss my breasts, his lips warm and wet against my nipples. The combination of sensations is intoxicating and overwhelming in the best possible way. Every touch drives me closer to the edge, each of them pouring their affection into every caress.

Sam leans over me, and I take him into my mouth, tasting his salty pre-cum on my tongue.

Jack continues to kiss and suckle at my breasts while Max's fingers thrust into me steadily. It's a whirlwind of pleasure that leaves me breathless. Sam's groans intensify as I take him deeper. Max's skilled fingers send electric currents through my body, while Jack's mouth on my nipples ignites a fire in my core.

Max eventually pulls away, and I whimper from the loss. But he's quick to replace his fingers with something much more substantial. He teases my entrance with the head of his cock, making me squirm in anticipation.

"Are you ready for my cock, peaches?" he asks, his voice thick with desire.

I nod, unable to form words around Sam's enormous cock in my mouth.

On his knees, with one smooth thrust, Max fills me completely. The sensation is nearly too much, and I cry out in pleasure. Max sets a steady rhythm, each movement sending waves of ecstasy through me.

Sam pulls out of my mouth, stroking himself as he watches us with intense focus.

As Max thrusts deeper and harder into me, I feel the pleasure building in my core. Jack's kisses become more fiery, his hands roaming over my body possessively. I can feel the bond between us strengthening with every touch, every kiss. We're not just claiming each other physically; we're binding our souls together.

Max leans down to whisper in my ear. "I'm going to mark you now."

"Yes," I gasp, needing it more than anything.

He sinks his teeth into the crook of my neck just as he drives deep into me. My slick coats his cock, and he groans with longing. The pain mingles with pleasure, sending me over the edge. I scream his name as I come, my pussy convulsing around him.

Max's thrusts grow erratic as he bites down harder, drawing blood. It's primal, raw, and incredibly intimate. He pulls back and licks the mark before kissing me deeply, forcing me to taste my own blood.

Then he moves his mouth away and presses his neck to my mouth. I bite down quickly, wanting this with him more than anything. He grunts and stiffens, shooting his load into me as I mate with him, truly and completely.

"Fuck, yes," he mutters when I release him, and he rolls over to make way for Sam.

He nestles himself between my legs and pushes into me slowly, filling me inch by slow inch. His cock stretches me exquisitely, and I moan loudly in approval.

The feeling of Sam inside me is different but just as overwhelming. His thrusts start slow and deep, building up my orgasm again. Jack's hands find their way to my breasts again, kneading them and rolling my nipples between his fingers, sending jolts of pleasure through me.

"God, Lily," Sam grunts, picking up his pace. "You feel so fucking good."

I look up at Jack, who gives me a wicked grin before leaning down to kiss my lips tenderly. "You're amazing."

As Sam pounds into me harder and faster and I cry out, my clit twitching and aching for release. It comes when Sam places his mouth over my jugular, above Max's bite. He clamps down and I scream, coming hard around his cock as he grunts and shoots his load before I've even got around to biting him. He chuckles as he releases me. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Giggling, I run my hands into his hair and pull him down. I bite down on his neck quickly and harshly, mating with him as he shudders in my arms from the sheer pleasure this act gives us.

When I let him go, he is quick to move over to give Jack his turn. My best friend turned lover turned mate, smiles down at me softly, and I pounce on him. Slamming him back to the bed, I straddle him with a laugh of joy and grip his hard cock tightly. Guiding it to my soaking wet pussy he groans as I slide over his length. He grabs my hips and pushes his cock deeper into me.

"Fuck, Lily."

I ride him with abandon. His cock fills me completely, stretching me deliciously and hitting all the right spots. The room echoes with the sounds of our passion—moans, groans, and the slick, wet noises of our fucking.

Jack's thrusts grow more urgent beneath me as I pick up the pace, bouncing on his dick with a passion that drives us both wild. His hands wander up to my breasts again, tweaking my sensitive nipples and sending fresh waves of pleasure coursing through me.

My body trembles as another orgasm builds quickly. "Jack," I gasp, feeling the pleasure coil tighter. "I'm so close."

"Come for me, love," he urges, his voice thick with desire. "Let go."

With a cry of pure ecstasy, I climax around him, my pussy clenching and pulsing as my orgasm sweeps through me like a tidal wave. Jack's eyes darken with lust as he watches me come undone on top of him.

As my orgasm subsides, Jack flips us over and takes control. He pounds into me with a renewed intensity, driving deeper than before. Each thrust sends jolts of pleasure through my oversensitive body.

"Jack… Oh God…" I moan, unable to form coherent words, as he takes me to the brink once more.

"I'm going to mate with you now, Lily," he groans. "I need you."

"Yes!" I cry out, needing him as well.

Jack sinks his teeth into the opposite side of my neck to Max and Sam, and it makes me smile. Sam left it for him to have his own mark, knowing how much that would mean to him.

The sharp bite of Jack's teeth sends a jolt of pain mixed with pure bliss through my entire being. I arch my back, pressing him deeper into me as my next orgasm crashes over me in waves. My scream of release mingles with his growl as he claims me, marking me as his mate. His cock twitches, and I feel the hot rush of his cum shooting deep inside me.

Jack's thrusts slow, and he finally collapses on top of me, panting heavily. I move my mouth to his neck, and I bite down hard, the mingling tastes of his blood and sweat sending another shiver through my body. He moans low in his throat as I give him everything he wants. Everything I always wanted as well but needed a push to see.

The scent of sex and satisfaction fills the room, mixing with our natural pheromones.

I release Jack and kiss him deeply, writhing against him as I'm ready to go again. He groans and rolls off. "Give me a sec," he rasps.

Max chuckles and grips my ankles, pulling me down the bed towards him and thrusting into me quickly.

"Let's not keep our omega waiting," he murmurs, gazing into my eyes. "What she wants, she gets."
