38. Remy

REMY

Hazel seemed lighter after sharing what happened after her old alpha. I think it was a good sign that she had finally jumped Aleks' bones so hard I had to air out the apartment when I got home.

I told Aleks (privately) that he did a good job because Hazel looked extremely well-fucked. Aleks replied with a strangled "thanks".

He must not have been ready for that aspect of pack life yet.

He would have to adjust quickly because there was a pressing issue we needed to address.

"We need a group chat," I declared to everyone the next night.

We had already shared our locations with each other and I liked opening the map throughout the day and seeing where everyone was.

It was time to take it to the next level.

Hazel and Aleks were cuddling on the couch. Night duty was going to keep him out of the nest. It was almost time for him to leave and a very pouty Hazel was wrapped around him so tightly I wondered if there was a crowbar handy to pry them apart. Ben was in the middle of cooking char kway teow hoping to cheer her up.

"What should we call it?" Hazel asked.

I waved my hand. That was the easy part. "Don't worry, guys. I got this," I said confidently.

Everyone's phones pinged simultaneously.

"What the…"

"You cannot be serious."

"What the fuck."

I grinned and pointed around the room. "Ben. Remy. Aleks. Hazel. Pack brAH!"

I was a complete and utter genius.

Ben was fuming. "I have never hated anything more in my fucking life."

I grinned impudently. "Why, brah?"

He carefully laid down the spatula. His hand twitched like it was itching to grab something sharp. "I will end you," Ben told me calmly. "Aleks, don't resuscitate him."

"Wasn't gonna," Aleks called out.

Hazel was tapping away at her phone. I looked down at my own and gasped. "Why did you leave?"

Aleks had his phone out too. "Oh, are we allowed to leave it?"

This was getting out of hand. Hazel's phone chirped with the notification that she had been re-added. "There," I informed her brightly. "I corrected your mistake."

Hazel looked like she was about to cry and laugh at the same time.

Ben's phone was lying on the kitchen counter and he stared at it like it was radioactive. "We're really doing this, are we?"

"Have you got a better name in mind?"

"Literally anything would be better than this," Ben lashed at me.

"Yet, I don't see you making suggestions?" I fired back.

Aleks stood up, giving Hazel apologetic kisses as he did so. "I need to get to work." He levelled us with a flat stare. "Maybe you can decide who the top dog is because this bickering thing you're doing is really getting on my nerves."

He was annoyingly correct.

We still hadn't established who was prime yet and it was grating on both our alphas. Neither of us were willing to back down.

Ben stopped Aleks on his way out. "I made this for you to eat on your break, since you're missing dinner," he said, pressing a tupperware container into his hands.

"Oh, thanks, man."

Pffttt.What a suck-up, bribing pack members with dinners to go.

Hazel slid over on the couch and kicked my shin.

"What! I didn't say anything," I complained, rubbing my leg.

"I can read you like a book, Remington Blake."

Dinner was tense. It didn't help that I was seated on the opposite side of the table to Ben so we had nothing to do except stare murderously at each other.

"You guys are making it very difficult for me to enjoy my noodles," Hazel grumbled.

"Sorry."

"Yeah, we're sorry."

The tension lessened by only a tiny amount and Hazel released a long suffering sigh.

I wish I could say it eased up later but it didn't. I cleaned up while Ben got his couch cuddles with her and I could not be done with the dishes fast enough.

I joined them, sitting on the opposite end with her feet in my lap. I began massaging her soles and calves, enjoying all the sex-adjacent noises she made.

Hazel's bottom lip was caught between her teeth. "Higher," she said breathily.

Fuck yeah.

I caught Ben watching me and had a brilliant idea.

"Should we see who makes her come fastest? Or who makes her come more?" I asked him challengingly.

Thiswas how I was going to beat him.

He didn't look nervous. He should have. His mouth curved into a lazy smirk. "How about both? Fastest to make her come on their face right now. Let's say that's worth 5 points. Plus whoever makes her come more over the course of the night. Winner leads the pack."

"The night." I raised my brows. "Pretty sure of yourself."

Ben didn't say anything. His smile only widened.

Oh, it was fucking on.

Hazel was watching our exchange with wide, hungry eyes. "Anything that's off limits for you tonight?" I asked, kissing the inside of her ankle.

"I don't think so." She stretched her arms up over her head, arching like a cat. It pushed her glorious tits high into the air. "This sounds like a very high stakes game. Don't let something silly like me being asleep stop you."

The energy in the room instantly shifted. Predators and prey.

"You want us to fuck you when you're asleep, baby?" I asked hoarsely.

Hazel's impish eyes were impossibly bright.

Ben's hand drifted downward, cupping her pussy possessively. "Is this ours to use tonight, sweetness? However and whenever we want it?"

"Mmhmm."

He had a hand under her breast and the other moved back onto her inner thigh. Almost where she needed his touch but refusing to give in. "Do you understand what you're asking for? You'll sleep with us filling you, fucking you and knotted deep inside you all night long. As soon as one of us slips out the other is going to fuck his cum right back inside you, whether you're awake for it or not."

Holy shit.
