Chapter 18

Snow

" O h, come on!" Gabe snarls, jumping to his feet. "That was bullshit."

"You're such a sore loser." Henry cackles, helping himself to Gabe's money.

With everything going on, Henry came up with an idea to have a game night. A night where we can hang out, spend time together, and get to know one another.

Since they've told me about being their mate and an omega, things between us have been changing fast.

My feelings for them are becoming stronger every day, and I think it's safe to say that I'm falling in love with them.

It's crazy to think that only a month ago, I was in the palace with plans to run away, somewhere far from here to start over somewhere new.

I might not have had to go far to find my new start, but it's everything I could have wanted and more.

The guys finally told me about their plan to take on my father. Everyone is working to form an army. The knowledge that this is going to have to end in a fight, a fight that will most likely take lives, makes me sick. I hate it. I wish it didn't have to be this way.

But Dallas explained that the people of the kingdom are done. They have lost so much with no idea if they will ever get it back, they are willing to risk their lives for the greater good.

I just hope that we come out on top and that people don't lose their lives for no reason.

"Are they always like this?" Regina asks, her face filled with amusement.

"Henry picking at Gabe to get him going, and Gabe falling into his trap?" I question with a grin. "Yeah, pretty much."

Gabe stops talking, his eyes snapping over to mine. I bite my lips together, trying to hold back my laugh. He growls and takes two steps over to me before crouching down, his face level with mine. "Do you have something to say?"

"I was just telling Regina that if you didn't react, Henry wouldn't keep trying." It's not true, Henry would say and do the things he does no matter what. But a part of me loves getting Gabe going, too. He's all growls, but I know he's a big softy.

A deep rumbling starts from his chest, but I lean forward, pressing a kiss to his nose, and it shuts him right up. "You play dirty, little one," he grunts.

Butterflies erupt in my belly. "And you're a sore loser."

"That's it," he growls, snatching me up off the chair and throwing me over his shoulder. I squeal in delight before bursting into laughter.

"I'll save you from the big bad monster!" Henry calls out. Everyone is laughing as Gabe ducks out of Henry's attempt to take me from him.

"Mine," Gabe growls.

"She's mine too." Henry chuckles, and Gabe makes a grunting sound before I'm taken from him and thrown over Henry's shoulder.

"You both play dirty. You're perfect for each other!" Gabe shouts, and Henry runs down the hall with me.

"You're so sweet. Thanks!" Henry calls back.

I look up to find Regina smiling, shaking her head.

She's adjusting to being here a lot better than I thought. She and Gabe like to bicker, but for the most part, she gets along with all of my guys.

My guys. My mates. My alphas.

My life has changed so much, but I love everything about it now. I don't think I'd change a thing. Apart from dealing with my father.

I've been doing my best to split my time equally with everyone, but it's not easy when I spend most of it with Regina. She knows that nights are for the guys. Every day, we do something new. Sometimes all together, or I'll do something individually with one of them.

With Sullivan, it's gardening mostly. Well, more like he sits there and watches me while we talk. But I love it.

With Sterling, we take naps together. He started coming home in the middle of the day to sleep for a few hours before going back to the mines with the guys. It seems to be helping him get into a better sleeping pattern. He's been sleeping more and more through the night.

But he's also told me he sleeps best with me in his arms. The first night we cuddled, he drifted off to sleep before me and woke up from a nightmare. He ended up telling me about his family, and my heart broke. So, I do my best to slip into his bed at night so he can sleep peacefully. I like that I can help.

With Brady being the quiet one we don't have a lot of conversions, but we enjoy just being with one another. For an hour every night, I sit in his lap and we read. It's become one of my favorite nightly rituals.

Gabe and I haven't spent much time alone together, but I do follow him around the house, trying to talk him down from all his grumpy rambles. It's crazy, but I like it. And it works.

Dallas, I spend my mornings with. We're the only ones in the house that get up early. Mostly, it's him coming home from a shift or getting ready to leave for one. We sit, have coffee, and he tells me as much as he can about his work without breaking confidentiality.

He's also promised to take me to see the kids again once everything is dealt with, and he keeps me updated on them.

I can't call Mrs. Bark, it's a risk that my father could have the phones tapped. Might be a long shot, but the guys aren't taking risks. We need him to continue thinking I'm dead.

We still haven't figured out why Max didn't come after me to make sure I was dealt with, and we may never know.

That leaves Henry. With him, it's normally things around the house or playing little games. Like tonight's plan, after we were done playing a game as a group, we are having a movie night in his room. He insisted on cuddles and popcorn. Something I wasn't going to turn down.

Henry throws open his bedroom door and goes to his bed. He tosses me on the soft mattress, and I land with a giggle as he goes back to close the door.

"You're all mine now, princess," he purrs, turning from the door to give me a heated stare.

"Oh no. Whatever shall I do? Let me call for help." I grin back before biting my lips together to show there's no calling for help.

He chuckles before crawling onto the bed. "Hi." He chuckles as he brings his nose to mine.

"Hi," I whisper back, running my fingers through the fur on his head. He groans, and that sound goes right to my clit.

"Fuck," he hisses, moving off me. "You keep touching me like that, princess, and I'm not going to be able to concentrate on the movie."

"Sorry." I smile.

"Are not." He grins, standing up and going over to the TV. "What movie are we in the mood for?"

"Funny. I don't think anything scary or depressing is something I want right now."

"Funny it is."

After he grabs us popcorn, we snuggle together in his bed.

His scent is comforting, but also the more I touch him, smell him, the more that fire in my belly grows.

It's hard not to want them, to want all of them, but I haven't voiced it because I'm kind of afraid.

They're big, and I'm not. And I'm sure what's between their legs will match their size. I'm a human. I don't think I'm even able to take something that big.

But I'm also an omega.

The other night, Regina and I were talking. She told me she was reading up on omegas, and we discussed the sexual side of it. Oddly, it wasn't weird to talk about sex with other people with her.

She understood and was supportive of it. Another reason why I love her so much.

What she's read said that even if I'm a human, if I'm an omega, my body is built to take my mate. So, whenever the time comes, we'll have to test that theory, I guess.

I want that time to be soon. I've been finding myself more and more turned on, craving their touch, and so much more.

That is something I found out could be a heat spike. My birthday is in a few days, and I'll be turning twenty-one. From what I read myself, my heat could happen anytime after that.

The idea of my heat both thrills me and terrifies me. A few days of nothing but sex? How would that even work?

Henry's laugh pulls me out of my head, and I snuggle deeper into him.

I drape my leg over his hip, trying to get as close to him as I can. My fingers mindlessly play with the fur on his chest. I don't realize I'm rocking my hips until he grips them.

"Snow." His voice is thick and husky. "You're making it very hard to behave myself. Between your perfume and your touch, it's really damn hard. I want you so bad it hurts," he groans.

Biting my lip, I sit up, my cheeks flushed with need.

His hand and arm are draped over his pelvis, covering something, and that fire in my belly burns more. Grabbing his hand, I move it out of the way and whimper when I see his hard cock.

"Sorry," he grumbles. "I was trying my best to keep the damn thing down, but you have no idea how tempting you are." Henry goes to move, but I push him back down, eyes still locked on his cock.

My mouth waters for it. I want him. I want him badly. The look of it both intimidates me and thrills me at the same time.

It's thick, long and pink with a baseball size bulb at the bottom. His knot. I've done a lot of internet searches on what they look like. Nothing beats seeing one in person.

Without realizing what I'm doing, I reach out and brush my fingers along his knot.

"Fuck," he groans.

"Does that hurt?" I ask in a whisper. My eyes flick up to see his are closed, his head is tossed back, jaw clenched.

"No," he huffs out. "The opposite, really. It's very sensitive, but your touch feels good."

"Can I... can I touch it again?"

"Baby, you can do whatever you want to it." He gives me a sexy smirk. "Just not sex. I don't think you're ready for that."

"Okay." I move to sit on my knees, getting a closer look at it. I wrap my hand around his knot and give it a squeeze.

"Snow," he groans, his hips lifting off the bed. "You're going to kill me."

I laugh, a giddy feeling taking over me. I like this. I like seeing him react to my touch like this.

Wanting to make him feel good, I take my free hand and wrap it around the base of his cock.

My eyes widen when I realize my fingers don't touch. "How is this ever going to fit inside me?" I whisper out loud, giving it a stroke.

His breathing is heavy now. "You were made for us, Snow." He groans as I work him over. "When the time comes, you will be able to take us."

I'm in awe at the sight of him. He's so hard in my hand, his muscles bunch as he claws at the bed. His eyes are closed, his breathing labored.

The sounds he makes have me growing wet. I want him. I want it inside me.

But for now, I'll settle for it inside my mouth.

Leaning over, I wrap my lips around the tip. Even that is hard to do. He makes this tortured sound as I start to suck and work my tongue.

I do my best, but I don't think I'm doing a very good job. I can't fit him very far in my mouth, and my hand can hardly work him over.

But he proves me wrong as he starts to praise me. "Just like that, baby, fuck. Look at you, so damn sexy. Taking my cock like a good girl. Like a good little omega."

His words have me gushing; there's so much wetness, but I don't care. I want more praise, so I suck him harder, bob my head faster.

"Shit, shit, shit," he growls. "So fucking good. Snow, fuck, I'm close."

I want to see him cum. I want to see the look on his face as he falls over the edge by my hand.

When I squeeze his knot again, he shouts, pulling my mouth off his cock just in time for his orgasm to hit.

I watch as thick ropes of cum shoot out, covering his chest. He moans my name, his cock jerking in my hand as more and more flows out of him.

It has me so turned on, I'm a needy mess. My mouth waters with the need to taste. So, I bend over and flick my tongue out, tasting his cum.

"Snow!" he whisper-hisses. "Fucking hell, that's hot."

It tastes good, so damn good. I lap up more and more until I've cleaned him the best I can. It's only made me more turned on, making me whimper as I rub my thighs together.

"Shhh." Henry flips us over until I'm on my back. "Can I take care of you?"

"Yes." I nod frantically. "Please," I beg.

He parts my legs and groans when he sees the mess I've made of my panties. With his claw, he cuts them off my body and leans down.

His nose runs up my slit, and my eyes roll back as he inhales, a deep rumbling growl vibrating in his chest.

"You smell good enough to fucking eat." His tone is purely predatory before he does just that.

"Oh fuck!" I scream as his tongue laps at my folds before thrusting deep inside.

Henry feasts on me like the beast he is. His tongue is long and soft, doing so many magical things.

I claw at the bed in pure ecstasy. He pins me down with a growl as I try to rock my hips against his mouth.

Every lick of his tongue has me racing towards the edge. I'm a shaking mess, sweating like crazy. My mind is hazy, body on fire in the best way.

There's so much arousal gushing from me that I'd be concerned if Henry wasn't lapping it up like it's the best meal he's ever had.

This must be slick, I've read about it.

"I'm gonna cum," I whine, the feeling so damn intense.

"Then come for me, little omega. Fucking slick all over my face."

"Oh god," I cry out, and when his fang brushes against my clit, I shatter.

My eyes roll back, and I scream so loud my voice cracks as a powerful orgasm hits me.

I'm at the peak of my climax when the door crashes in. My eyes fly open as I see Dallas standing there, eyes wide with panic.

A long, loud whimper leaves me when he looks at Henry between my legs, then up to me.

"Oh. Shit."

Henry still laps at my pussy as I come down from my high, head spinning, body shaking. He doesn't move as he flips Dallas off over his shoulder.

Dallas gives me a heated look before backing out of the room and closing the door behind him.

"Asshole," Henry mutters as he moves from between my legs.

Henry licks his lips and grins. "Careful there, Snow. Your pussy is fucking addictive."

"Oh god," I groan, covering my face.

"Hey, no getting all shy on me now. I just had my tongue inside you." He chuckles, moving to lie next to me.

"Stop it." I laugh, rolling over into his side as he wraps his arms around me.

"I think we might need to rewind the movie. I have no idea what's going on," he chuckles.

"Who cares about the movie?" I murmur, enjoying the lingering hum of pleasure in my bones. "I just want to be here with you."

"Me too, princess." He kisses the top of my head, and we fall asleep in each other's arms.

Every day is a new, exciting day with these men. And I pray that I'll get many more with them.

My father has already taken so much from me, I won't let him take them, too. I won't.
