26. Jade

twenty-six

My pack is starting to feel like a pack. The warmth in my chest is growing. I steal out of the room and spot a door that has been calling to me. This morning, Adrian had shown me what is supposed to be the nest.

I say ‘supposed to' because it looked like a nest; it was all fluffy and cute, and I tried to smile and be grateful, but my skin had crawled. That was not my nest. Nope, I have the perfect pack, the perfect home, now I just need to find the perfect nest.

When the door opens, I almost turn around and back away. The stairwell is thin and steep, but I climb up, driven by need. When I get up to the top, my mouth falls open.

Oh, this is perfect. The attic has a huge space, a sloped roof that makes it feel cozy. It's clear, of course, it is. Adrian is too much of a control freak to allow a single room in his home to be less than perfect.

What's even more exciting is the huge bed up here. I wander the space. There's a skylight, power. Lights. The walls are painted a deep burgundy, and there's five mismatched rugs lying on the floors that are all in creams and greys.

There's a feeling. The first time I got it was when I saw the other omegas and realised I didn't have to be what my mother decided I was. When I saw Adrian for the first time, I felt it. When I saw Sven, I felt it. It grew in my chest over time with Kandi until it was as strong as what I felt for the alphas. I'm getting that feeling right now.

I'm calling that feeling destiny. Or fate.

An hour later, I'm even more convinced than I was before. This is the place that will be my nest.

I"ve become the world's best thief. I've stolen food and snuck it up to the nest. Bottles of water. Their clothing, my clothing. A huge stash of the softest blankets I"ve ever felt got carried up there. All the pillows I can find, and I found that Kandi keeps rocks, glittery crystals. I brought them up, too.

The urgency isn't easing. It's growing. I need to have everything right. Just right. I steal back down and find Adrian sitting on the couch, writing in his diary. I straddle his lap and rub my face against his.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine," I say in a soft voice and lick his jaw. "Just wanted to say hello."

"I see." He puts his diary aside and strokes those huge hands up my arms.

A pressure grows in my chest until it comes out. A low, soft purr thrumming through my ribcage.

Adrian melts in my arms, pulling me tighter, burying his nose in my shoulder and breathing deeply.

"You are the sweetest omega I"ve ever met."

"Adrian, please!"

"What do you need, Omega?"

"I need…" I stop, and then start again. "I need you, Alpha. I need you to touch me, to put out this burning inside me. To give me your knot."

I feel powerful and needy. A part of me feels like the cage keeping me locked up has finally been opened. But the rest of me is burning alive.

"Alpha, please."

"You're in heat, Jade."

I blink at him. Heat? I'm in heat? Well, that's interesting. That might explain why my panties are soaked. My core aching for something to fill it. I don't even care. I just need him.

Sven.

My Kandi-cane.

I moan and mash my lips to Adrian's. But it feels wrong to kiss him with Sven and Kandi in my mind. I pull away and stare at him. Frustrated and unsure how to vocalise it.

"I was imagining Sven fucking me and wondering how different you'd feel," I admit.

"And how did he fuck you?" Adrian whispers, igniting the sleeping temptress inside me.

I writhe on his lap, shifting until my chest is flush with his. "In the bathroom at the pub," I pant.

"He fucked you in the bathroom?" Adrian sounds amused.

"On the counter," I pant and kiss his temple. Adrian trails his mouth over my chest, nipping at my collarbone.

"You like that kind of thing, baby? Being where you can get caught? Being heard and smelt by all the alphas nearby? You like Sven staking his claim and making sure that everyone knows you belong to him."

I moan and roll my hips against his.

"Yes. I want you to claim me. I want you to tell everyone I belong to you. Please, Alpha, please. Make Sven see that I'm yours, too."

Adrian lets out a low growl that rumbles through my chest, then stands up, lifting me into the air.

"Upstairs," I whisper.

He pauses, and then reverses direction, heading towards my nest. When we get upstairs, he makes a sound of deep pleasure.

"So, this is where you've been hiding?"

"Mmm, my nest," I snarl defiantly.

Adrian growls. "Your nest," he concedes. "You have an exquisite nest, Omega."

I preen in his arms, and then kiss him hard enough that he stops moving forward. His taste is a mix of the soft drink he'd been drinking and him. That delicious rain in the forest scent that I can't describe any better.

He's magic, and I'm happy to drown in him.

He moves again, but I'm barely aware of it, until he tears his mouth from mine and drops me to the mattress.

I bounce back and scramble to my knees. Adrian pulls off his top. Holy crap, he is cut. Those muscles that he hides beneath practical doctor shirts are impressive. He's got a long, lean torso with a v that disappears into his pants.

I yank my top over my head. It's uncomfortable anyway. But as soon as it's gone, my bra is too tight, too hot, too oppressive. I unclip it and hurl it across the room.

"Alpha," I purr. Positively glowing as his eyes drink me in. My nipples are already hard, but they get even harder.

There is no fear, just this knowledge that this alpha is mine, and his eyes are looking at me with possession. I feel beautiful, desirable, sexy, wanted. I feel like his.

He unbuttons his pants, revealing a long, thick cock that's weeping pre-cum. His pants drop, and he kicks them off before dropping onto the bed on his knees. He walks towards me, and then drops onto his hands over me.

I smirk up at him. "Hello, Alpha."

"Omega." His voice is rough, harsh.

We just stare at each other, tension building, until I can't take it anymore. I clench my thighs together and squirm.

"Please?" It's a husky whisper.

He presses his weight down, just so that we're touching, before he lifts it again.

"Like that?"

I let out a mewl that sounds so pitiful and needy that it shocks me. Adrian rumbles deep in his chest and drops his weight onto me, pressing me into the mattress.

I wiggle as much as I can but wind my fingers around his neck to stop him if he even tries to escape. My thighs are pressed open, and my hips cradle his.

This is insane. The overpowering scent of him. He's everywhere. He grinds himself against me, and then draws back, disappearing between my legs.

A tiny part of me just curls up in a ball and dies of embarrassment, but I murder that part of me when his mouth closes over my clit. I don't know why I'm so much more nervous with Adrian, I think briefly, but then the thought evaporates. I arch off the bed, unable to control my body.

"Oh, fuck!"

He puts a hand on my belly to pin me down, but I thrash my head from side-to-side as he flicks his tongue and alternates with gentle sucks.

"Ad-" I can't even get out his name. I pant and shudder as he wraps an arm under my thigh and drags me closer to his mouth.

He shifts and licks lower, probing and pressing his tongue into me.

"Adrian, that feels incredible," I manage to pant out and reach down, stroking his hair. I feel this need to touch him. He presses his tongue against me and licks up to my clit again. I moan and tighten my fingers on his hair, pulling him closer. My hips writhe against him. My pants and moans fill the air.

"More. Please, I need more."

Adrian growls and shifts his weight. His fingers press into me. Three of them. The sting is instant, but I feel so deliciously full, and after a moment, the burn eases, and I'm left with an urge to move. I clench, bearing down on him.

I look down and find his eyes on me. Hungry. Waiting. Fuck, that is so hot. With a slow smile, he curls his fingers inside of me, tearing a low, throaty moan from my very soul.

I gyrate against him as he pushes his fingers slowly in and out of me. The heat is everywhere. But no matter how hot I am, his mouth on my clit is hotter and the source of all my attention.

"Adrian, please!"

I can almost feel his smile, the pleasure in his body.

"You need to come, Omega?"

"Yes! Please!"

He licks at me. Long, slow, leisurely tastes with the flat of his tongue.

"I like it down here. I could do this for hours."

I let out a moan and feel slick run between my ass cheeks. His fingers squelch as he pushes them back in.

"I think I want to get a jar and bottle this," Adrian says in a dark voice.

He pulls his fingers out and replaces it with his tongue, pressing it into me, and doing this wiggle thing that makes my hips jerk.

"Alpha!" I wail.

"Shh, Kandi and Sven will find us, and I'll have to share you," Adrian chides.

"Alpha, please. Please make me come. Please, I need it."

"Get up."

My legs tremble as I roll over and push myself up. But just as I get my balance, he grabs my hips and buries his face back in my pussy.

I moan, clenching my hands in the sheets. "Oh, please, oh, god."

He pulls back and slaps my ass. "Up."

I get up and pause, listening hard. I can hear Sven and Kandi downstairs. Adrian wasn't lying, they"re back.

I bite my lower lip and glance at Adrian. It's a good idea, a really good idea.

I pull out of Adrian's arms and rush out of the nest, bounding down the stairs. The sounds of Adrian just behind me has me laughing hysterically.

I race through the house and spot them in the kitchen. I only make it as far as the doorframe. Adrian grabs me and hauls me back into the lounge. He drapes me over the back of the couch and grabs my hips with firm fingers.

"Adrian, what the fuck!" Kandi shouts.

I glance to the side and spot Kandi. Sven pulls her up. I'm glad they are here to see this. It feels right.

"You running from me, Omega?" Adrian hisses. He's seething and so very pleased.

"You loved it," I purr.

He reaches down between us and slides the tip of his cock through my folds. "I'll make it so you can never escape me," he promises.

He sounds unhinged. I love it. I shiver and push back, but he grips my hips tighter, stopping me from moving.

"I'm in control here."

"Are you?" I ask over my shoulder with a laugh. "Are you sure?"

Adrian growls and pushes in, sheathing himself in my channel in one smooth move.

I let out a desperate whine. "Oh, hell, it feels so good, Alpha. But you're still not the one in control."

I let out a peal of laughter as he growls. It only fuels the fire to push back, to test the waters. I clench myself around him over and over.

His hand runs up my spine, and then grasps my neck. It's a hold that makes me feel vulnerable and tiny. I let out a whine that is silenced when he pulls out and thrusts back in, filling me up.

"Alpha!" I coo and glance back at my beta and reluctant alpha.

Her eyes are huge and hungry. She looks like Sven is holding her up. He, on the other hand, is watching me, and then his eyes flit to Adrian, and that just makes it hotter. He wants us both. I let out a sound that makes Adrian hiss in warning, but draws Sven's attention back to me.

I let a smile curl my lips, watching as his eyes turn black. Yes, Alpha, I know that I'm turning you on. I want you like this. What are you going to do about it?

He lets out his own growl, and Kandi staggers out of his hold, coming around the couch and cupping my face. Her tongue plunges into my mouth. citrus, sweeter than I've ever had it.

Adrian growls and thrusts against me harder, forcing something much larger than him into me. I'm stretched wide, further than I can accommodate, surely. The pain is sharp.

I tear my mouth from Kandi's, yelping, but she grabs me back, kissing me, and the pain fades, turning into this delicious pressure.

The pressure builds and builds, leaving me feeling like I'm being thrust over the edge of the tallest building. If I fall, I might fly. I want to fly.

"Alpha," I scream.

Adrian pushes his knot inside me fully with a suddenness that makes my eyes rip open. I scream into Kandi's mouth. She swallows the sound, refusing to let me up. Drinking my pleasure like it's a drug.

I'm thrown over the edge of that cliff, hurled into space. I'm falling or flying. Pleasure like nothing I've ever felt dances along my nerve endings, turning my mind to mush.

"That's it, that's it. Good girl," Kandi whispers, peppering kisses to my face, while I pant and whine.

Adrian is stiff, pushing against me, growling. Possession surges through me, feeling him come inside me, feeling him lose himself in me. He is mine.

I want to make him do it again. And then Kandi. And Sven. I moan and clench around him.

Adrian hisses, but I reach out and drag Kandi back to me.

"I need more," I whisper before my tongue slips into her mouth.
