CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

GREEK

––––––––

My heat came on like a storm, slow at first, a simmer just beneath my skin, a tingling in my belly that made me irritable and pouty. Sofia and Demon tried their best to cheer me up, doing whatever I asked. Demon even allowed me to fall asleep in his lap. But there was no satisfying my irritation.

I always got that way right before a heat. Usually, I was left in my cage until I was half-crazed with need, so there was no one for me to pout to or ask for sweets and hugs and kisses. Not that I would’ve gotten any if I had asked for them. Still, here, it was different. I was free to voice my discomfort and complain about my genetics without anyone getting mad at me.

Yeah, my heat had started off slow and steady. But that slow simmer, that building irritation, had quickly burst into an inferno that consumed every thought, every ounce of restraint. I gripped the edge of the bed, sweat slicking my palms as my thighs clenched together, desperate for friction.

My body was drenched, slick pooling between my legs, and the scent of it mixed with the lingering cedarwood and leather from Demon, the citrus and jasmine that was Sofia. They surrounded me, my bond mates, their presence like an anchor I clung to even as the need spiraled out of control.

My chest heaved with shallow breaths, my heart pounding against my ribs as I knelt on the bed with Sofia kneeling right beside me, watching me. I couldn’t think, couldn’t focus on anything except the ache deep inside me, the unbearable need to be touched, claimed, filled, knotted.

But I also needed to fix my nest. It was a mess. I wanted this pillow over there and that pillow over there. Demon and Sofia had offered to help. And though I loved them, I wanted to do this myself. I had a vision in my heart that I was struggling to create. Ugh! That wasn’t right either. I moved the pillow again. There. Yes. That was perfect. That was where that pillow needed to be.

Sofia’s hands were warm and gentle as they smoothed back my hair, damp from sweat. Her touch sent sparks shooting through me, and I whimpered, leaning into her palm. She was talking, her voice low and soothing, but I couldn’t make out the words. All I could hear was the pounding of my pulse, the rushing in my ears. I tried to focus.

“You’re so beautiful, Little Rabbit,” she murmured, her lips brushing against my forehead. “We’re here. We’ve got you.”

I’d fallen asleep on the living room couch, but they’d moved me to the bed when I’d woke up feeling like I was about to spontaneously combust. We were in my nest. My perfect nest that was filled with the colors and the scents of my mates. My alpha had gotten these for me. My sweet, sweet alpha with the thick knot that I needed in my ass right now.

I kissed the side of Sofia’s head and then looked to my left. Demon’s massive frame loomed at the side of the bed, his piercing blue eyes locked on me. He looked conflicted, his muscles taut with restraint as he watched me get my nest in order. But his scent, gods, his scent, told me everything.

He wanted me. Needed me. He was being patient with me, waiting for me to get my nest ready before he joined us. The beast in him was struggling to hold back. My nest was perfect now, so I no longer needed him to hold back. I reached for him, my fingers trembling as I grasped his wrist.

“Alpha,” I gasped, my voice cracked and desperate. “I’m.... I’m...”

“Are you ready for me, Little Rabbit?” he rumbled, his voice low and rough. His hand enveloped mine, his grip firm and reassuring. “Tell me you’re ready.”

Sofia was rubbing off on him. He, too, insisted that I used my words to tell them what I wanted so they didn’t get it wrong.

“Tell me you’re ready to be knotted, Little Rabbit,” Demon continued.

His words made my stomach twist with need, a fresh wave of slick pooling between my thighs and soaking my ass.

“That ass is ready for our alpha, isn’t it, Little Rabbit?” Sofia added.

I turned my head to meet her gaze, her eyes glowing with warmth and desire. My throat worked, but no sound came out. How could I put this into words? The ache, the emptiness, the primal urge to be taken, to be surrounded by them, to be theirs?

“Touch me,” I finally whispered, the words breaking free like a confession. “Please. Both of you. Touch me. Fuck me. Suck me. Claim me in every way possible. I need you both. Now.”

Sofia smiled, her lips soft and inviting as they pressed against mine in a kiss that was both tender and demanding. Her hands slid down my chest, teasing over the sensitive skin, leaving trails of fire in their wake. I whimpered into her mouth, my hips bucking as the heat clawed at me, demanding more.

Demon moved onto the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight as he knelt behind me. I couldn’t see him, but I could feel his presence. His scent grew stronger, more intoxicating, making my body tremble with anticipation. His large hands wrapped around me and pulled me back until my chest was pressed against his front.

My eyes jerked to Sofia, who was crawling to kneel in front of me. Citrus at my front. Leather at my back. I was caged in by my bond mates and I fucking loved it. Demon rubbed his hand down my body, brushing over my cock, making me slicker. He thumbed my slit, causing me to hiss.

“You’re dripping, Little Rabbit,” he growled, his voice thick with hunger. He pushed me forward a little and rubbed his hand along the crack of my ass. “So fucking wet,” he growled.

His words sent a shiver down my spine, and I moaned as his thumb brushed over my entrance, teasing me, spreading the slick that was pouring out of me. My back arched, and Sofia’s mouth found my neck, her teeth scraping over my skin as Demon’s fingers pressed inside me.

“Demon!” I cried out, my hands clutching at the sheets as he stretched me, his touch firm but careful. His fingers were thick, his movements slow and deliberate, coaxing me open as the fire in my belly burned hotter.

Sofia’s mouth moved lower, her lips trailing over my chest before wrapping around one of my nipples. The heat of her mouth, the sharp flick of her tongue, made me cry out, my body trembling between them. Demon added another finger, scissoring them gently, and I could feel myself opening up for him, my body begging for more.

“You’re doing so well,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through me. “Taking my fingers so perfectly.”

I whimpered, looking over my shoulder at him, my hands reaching for him, needing to feel his skin under my fingers. He leaned down, his lips brushing against mine in a kiss that was rougher, hungrier, his stubble scraping against my chin.

“More,” I whispered against his mouth as his fingers worked my ass. “I need... I need you inside me.”

Sofia lifted her head, her lips curling into a mischievous smile as she glanced between us. “You heard him, big guy. Give our Little Rabbit what he needs.”

Demon’s growl was low and dangerous, and he pressed another kiss to my lips before sitting back on his heels. I stared down between our bodies and gasped. His cock, thick and glistening with precum, stood proud, the knot at the base already swollen. My mouth watered at the sight, and I licked my lips, unable to look away.

“You’re so big, alpha,” I whispered. “I can’t believe all of that has been inside me.”

Demon’s growl reverberated through me, low and guttural, as his hands caressed my hips, holding me firm. Every touch was deliberate, every movement an unspoken promise. My breath hitched when he shifted, the heat of him behind me like a furnace. I gasped when I felt Sofia’s lips around my cock.

“Feed me that slick,” she muttered around my length, the vibrations of her words causing me to do just that.

She sucked me hard, making my hips buck, drinking me down. Or at least I thought she was. I was shocked when she freed my cock from her mouth and then moved closer until her breasts were pressed against my chest.

She leaned over my shoulder and slowly allowed my slick to drip from her mouth onto Demon’s cock. The alpha growled. And I could hear the wet sounds of him stroking himself as she spilled my slick onto his length.

“Damn, Sofia,” Demon growled. “Just like that, baby,” he told her, making her growl as she spilled the last of what was in her mouth onto our alpha’s cock.

She leaned back and smiled at me. I stared at her. In awe of this beautiful beta. I felt Demon’s slicky hand on the small of my back. He eased me forward. I leaned forward, burying my face into Sofia’s neck, my body trembling as their scents overwhelmed me—citrus and leather, woodsmoke and jasmine—a heady mix that made me ache with need.

“You’ve got him, Sofia,” Demon murmured, his voice rough and tinged with a possessive edge. “Keep him steady for me.”

“Yes, alpha,” she purred. Her hands cupped my cheeks, her smile soft and radiant as she pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Fuck our Little Rabbit long and hard, alpha.”

I whimpered at her words, leaning into her touch as her fingers trailed down my chest, soothing and teasing at once. The heat between us was electric, every breath filled with the weight of what we were about to share. My body arched when Demon’s lips found the back of my neck, his stubble scraping against my damp skin as his hands trailed down my sides.

“You’re so responsive, Little Rabbit,” he rumbled, his voice thick with desire. “You’re made for this—for us.”

Sofia’s lips curled into a smile against my jaw. “He really is,” she murmured, her tone playful as her fingers traced my collarbone. “A perfect little treasure.”

Her words made me shiver, a fresh wave of slick spilling between my thighs as Demon’s large hands roamed over me, exploring every inch of my skin. I gasped when he gripped my hips, pulling me back against him, the sheer size of him making my breath catch.

“Demon,” I whispered, my voice cracking as his presence consumed me. “Please.”

Sofia chuckled softly, her hands sliding down my chest to rest on my waist. “He’s ready for you,” she said, glancing over my shoulder at Demon. “Don’t keep him waiting.”

Demon growled in response, his grip tightening as he pressed himself against me, his thick length brushing over my entrance. My body trembled, anticipation mingling with the overwhelming heat of my need. Sofia’s hands squeezed my waist, her lips brushing against my ear as she whispered words of encouragement.

“You’re doing so well, baby,” she murmured, her voice soft and steadying. “You deserve this thick cock Demon is about to feed into your ass.”

I purred, loving that filthy mouth of hers. When Demon finally pressed forward, the stretch was slow and torturous in the most amazing way possible, his size filling me inch by inch. I gasped, my fingers clutching at Sofia’s shoulders as my body adjusted to him, the heat of him consuming every thought, every ounce of restraint. Sofia’s hands moved to my face, her thumbs brushing over my cheeks as she kissed me softly.

“You’re doing so well, Little Rabbit,” she whispered, her voice like a balm against the storm raging inside me. “Let him take care of you.”

Demon groaned behind me, his breath hot against the back of my neck as he pushed deeper, his hands steadying me as I arched back against him. “Perfect,” he rasped, his voice tight with restraint. “You’re perfect, Greek. So fucking tight.”

His words sent a shiver down my spine, the knot of desire in my belly tightening as he began to move. Each thrust was deliberate, every motion sending a shockwave of sensation through me. I clung to Sofia, my breaths ragged as my body trembled between them.

“Look at me,” Sofia whispered, her hands framing my face as her lips found mine. The kiss was soft and tender, her tongue teasing against mine as her fingers threaded through my hair. “You’re safe, Little Rabbit. You’re loved. This heat is for you. Not us. We’re here for you, to make you happy, to make you feel good, to make sure you feel cherished.”

“For you,” Demon growled as he thrust deeper into my tight hole. “All for you, Greek Matthews.”

Their words brought tears to my eyes. This was for me. My heat was for me. Not for alphas who only wanted to use me. This was my special time and they were making sure I understood that. This was love. This was what I’d dreamed of. This was the greatest gift in the world. And I’d cherish it forever.

Demon’s movements grew more insistent, his growls low and reverberating as his hands gripped my hips tighter. The rhythm he set was unrelenting, each thrust pushing me closer to the edge. Sofia’s lips trailed down my jaw, her teeth grazing my neck as she gripped my leaking cock and began stroking me. I bucked into her grasp.

“You feel so good,” she whispered, her voice a soft moan that made my heart race. “So perfect.”

I whimpered, my body arching as the tension inside me coiled tighter, every nerve ending on fire. Demon’s hand slid up my back, his touch firm and reassuring as he leaned down to kiss the side of my neck. “You’re ours,” he growled, his voice rough and filled with conviction. “Ours to care for. Ours to protect.”

Sofia’s hands worked me faster as she kissed me again. The kiss was deeper this time, more demanding, the nails of her free hand scraping gently against my skin. I gasped into her mouth, my hands clutching at her as Demon’s pace quickened, his growls deepening with every thrust.

He kissed the back of my neck as he drilled me, knot slapping against my ass. I was ready to have it buried inside me, with his cum spurting into my tight hole. Demon’s hands moved to my waist, his grip firm as he pulled me back against him, his thrusts growing more powerful. And then I felt it, his knot seeking entrance.

“Take it,” Demon whispered in my ear, making me shudder. “Take this thick knot, sweet omega.”

I cried out his name as his knot sank into me, locking our bodies together. I shuddered. I cried out their names. I writhed against them as my orgasm approached. The sensation was overwhelming, my body trembling between them as the heat built to a breaking point. Sofia gripped my balls, and I cried out her name as Demon’s teeth grazed my throat.

“You’re almost there,” she said, her voice soft but insistent. “Let go, Little Rabbit. We’ve got you.”

And when I finally did, it was like falling into the sun, their touch, their voices, their presence anchoring me as the heat consumed me completely. Demon’s growl echoed in my ears as he filled me with his cum. Sofia’s hand was soaked in mine as I came undone, giving them all I had to give and taking all they had to give.

I’m pretty sure I blacked out from how explosive my orgasm was. Because when I opened my eyes, I was still locked with Demon, but we were now lying in bed, with him cradling me and me being the little spoon. In front of me, Sofia stared at me, smiling sweetly, her hands cradling my face.

They’d held me through it, not leaving me alone for even a second. Demon’s arms wrapped around my waist, his chest pressed against my back as he murmured soft words into my ear. Sofia’s hands stroked my cheeks, her lips pressing gentle kisses to my forehead.

“I love you so much, Little Rabbit,” Sofia whispered, her voice like a lullaby. “We’re so glad we found you.”

“So glad,” Demon whispered from behind me before kissing my shoulder. “So in love with both of you. So damn happy.”

Love. I, Greek Matthews, was in love. And I was ready to let my past go to embrace my bright future with the two people who meant the world to me.

My Big Bear and my Little Fox.
