Chapter 20: Thorne

Chapter Twenty

Thorne

L uckily, I get to the store when I do. They have a sign letting everyone know they’ll be closing soon and won’t reopen until after the storm passes.

I make it back to the house and unload all the groceries before putting away the things that need refrigeration. Once that’s done, I stomp upstairs to the pack bedroom, like I have the right.

It’s a long walk down the hallway while being able to hear the sex sounds. Making my way into the nest is even worse, but it’s clear my ears weren’t deceiving me.

I was trying to be decent by offering to handle the food while Rush stayed with Lennox, but I’m still an alpha, and my instincts are torn. Half of me wants to stomp up the steps, rip Lennox off Rush’s lap, and shove every inch of my cock inside her snug little pussy.

The other is—surprisingly—enjoying the show.

Lennox’s brown hair fans down her back as she moves both hands to Rush’s shoulders and really starts to ride him. Their arousal mixes in the air, and I find I’m not appalled by Rush’s scent.

That’s a good thing.

In order to keep Lennox, I’ll have to find a way to cohesively fit into a pack with her other chosen alphas.

Rush dips his head, and Lennox stretches to meet his mouth. I’ve got a side view of them, and my cock throbs, watching her tit bounce. His huge hand spans from her hip to where his fingertips dig into the bottom of her ass.

I slide a hand down my jeans, willing my cock to behave.

The last thing I need is a zipper disaster.

My conflicting feelings haven’t magically disappeared. A huge part of me wants to invite myself in to prove that Lennox won’t tell me to get lost.

The baser part of me wants to slit Rush’s throat and fuck Lennox next to his corpse while he bleeds out.

If he’s dead, then that’s one less person I’ll have to share with. They don’t have a bond, so it won’t hurt her .

It is likely Bear would try to kill me afterward, which makes that not an ideal option, since Lennox claimed him for her pack.

Stretching down, I start to loosen the ties on my boots. I’m only distracted by that for a few seconds before I casually kick them aside, but when I glance back at the nest, Rush has Lennox on her back as he lies over her.

He’s weirdly kicking out of his sweats and still managing to fuck her well enough that she’s sobbing and moaning.

I fight the urge to stab him by working on my belt, which incidentally, would make a decent strangulation device. At the very least, I could use it to tie his ass up.

Fuck. Me.

When exactly did I turn rabid?

Rush holds himself up with one palm while the other slides between them to cup her tit. He tilts his head enough he can meet my eyes and winks.

He really must want to die.

Pulling back from their kiss, he gets close to her ear and murmurs something too softly for me to hear.

He laughs and calls out, “She says you’re welcome to find your way into the nest, instead of watching like a total creep.”

My shirt comes off over my head and flies to the side carelessly as I bend down to tug off my socks. They land next to the shirt as I slide my jeans down, shaking out of the pant legs.

My hand wraps around my cock. It’s already hard and painfully aware of how enticing Lennox smells.

Rush growls as Lennox wails, her head bouncing with each relentless snap of his hips into hers. He falls completely on top of her, rutting her into the mattress like he’s not afraid to break her.

My thumb circles my crown as my nostrils flare, breathing in the scent of her perfume. It’s so easy to remember the way she felt trapped underneath me. Their noises only increase in volume as Rush shudders, slowing his hips.

I’m sure he’s filling her with his cum.

My teeth throb with the urge to bite her, and I slowly meander up the steps as they share another passionate kiss that ends with Rush rolling them.

Lennox blinks down at him as her hands land on his chest. I fucking love that doe-eyed look. It’s one of my favorites, just behind the sparkle that comes when she’s about to say something bratty.

I just really fucking love her.

I’m still not sure she’s ready for my permanent declaration, but I’m hoping she’ll find it wildly romantic.

I prowl up the stairs, and she bends to kiss him like he’s the only thing in the world she can see.

Goddamn.

There’s a clear flaw in nature’s design of alphas. If we were going to have to co-exist peacefully in packs, why didn’t biology make us less obsessively possessive?

I’ve never met an alpha that was great at sharing.

I’m certainly not.

My knees hit the mattress as Rush lifts her, dropping her onto his cock. As soon as Lennox is within reach, I grab her with a hand in her hair at the base of her skull and pull her up. She moans long and loud as she ends up on her knees, rather than flat on Rush’s chest.

Her eyes are hooded and glassy, but a shy smile crosses her face. “Hi.”

I chuckle, and give her hair a playful tug before shoving my lips to hers. The change in her scent, due to her bonding with Bear, bothered me earlier, but it’s no longer a problem as her tongue slides around mine. She’ll soon be carrying hints of my scent too.

Her fist wraps around my cock, giving it a solid squeeze. She’s so fucking dangerous to my self-control.

I growl and nip at her lower lip. “Are you ready to choke on my cock?”

She nods, but it’s limited by the tight hold I have in her hair.

I stretch the other hand down to pinch her nipple.

“Yes, sorry,” she squeaks. “Damn sadist.”

I grin, completely unrepentant. “You know I prefer verbal answers.”

She keeps ahold of my cock in one hand and brings the other to her mouth, licking my pre-cum from her fingers.

“Fuck, kitten,” I groan as she squeezes my length. The view of her tongue swirling around her thumb doesn’t help my composure.

“I doubt this is going to work without Thorne ending up in a position neither of us is comfortable with just yet.” Rush lifts her off him and moves to set her on his other side.

Lennox drops my cock, grumbling her displeasure at being moved. I have no choice but to release her hair, since I don’t want to hurt her.

Rush chuckles, probably due to the look of betrayal on her face. “Present for me, omega.” It’s a little crazy how quickly his voice changes to a low growl.

Lennox’s entire body snaps into action, like he barked the command. She ends up on her hands and knees, but to properly present, her top half should be down against the mattress. Her tits hang with her nipples in tight beads.

Rush knee-walks behind her, but she scrambles closer to me.

Lennox freezes with her hands on my thighs, and her gaze focused straight at my new tattoos.

“Holy shit,” she whispers with wide eyes.

“I’m guessing that’s new?” Rush asks, seeming amused.

I ignore him as Lennox teases her fingers over the now-healed ink. I needed something that would fit the aesthetic of my other tats, so I went with Valkyries on each hip, spreading down over my pelvis. In the middle is Lennox’s name, with the edges of the Ns tattooed an inch or so down my length, due to the gothic font.

“It hurt like a bitch,” I tell her truthfully. “But it was the first step in my penance, and I hoped it would count as a courting gift.”

Rush runs his hands over her hips and down her ass, but Lennox stares up at me, completely oblivious to him.

“What if I said no?” she asks, swallowing thickly.

“Then, I would have looked at it every day in the mirror to remind myself of all the ways I fucked up.” I brush my fingers over her cheek. “I give you my word. I will never hurt you again. You’re it for me, Lennox.”

“I love you too,” she whispers, using her hands on my waist to pull herself up.

I lean down to kiss her as my heart tries to take flight right out of my fucking chest. My hand slides into her hair at the base of her skull as a ragged purr starts in my chest.

It’s unexpected, but Lennox gasps into my mouth, running her hand over the vibration.

I pull back to nip at her lower lip before nuzzling my cheek to hers. “I’m so fucking sorry that you only got to see me as the character I had to be.”

“Okay, all of this is getting a little too emotional.” Rush chuckles.

Lennox’s face rests against mine, but I can feel it as she breaks out into a bright smile, shaking her hips. “You better fix it, then.”

“Watching my cum drip out of you is so fucking sexy,” Rush growls, slapping her ass. “I think I just turned into a caveman. Let’s scoop all this back where it belongs.”

Lennox moans while Rush swipes his fingers down the seam of her sex.

I pull her head back and give her hair a solid tug.

“You like that?” I bite her cheek playfully as she wraps her hand around my cock once more. “Yeah, I know you do. Such a dirty girl. You want to be filled up over and over again until you’re so stuffed full of cum, it drips out on every thrust.”

“I can lock all of it inside you,” Rush offers, smirking as he slaps her ass again. He moves to slam inside her, and he’s not gentle. “ Fuck me , that’s never gonna get old.”

To tamp down my jealousy, I focus on the way Lennox moans as her eyes fall shut. I’ve missed her so fucking much, but I’m finally participating.

I can wait a little longer.

Lennox tries to lower herself back to being on all fours, and I lessen my hold in her hair to make it possible. My dick is going to explode in her hair if I don’t get some relief, and I know from experience that her mouth is fucking incredible.

Rush thrusts like he’s trying to own her pussy, and her nails dig into my thighs with every jostle. I run a finger over her pretty pink cheek, but she tugs my cock toward her, so I focus on guiding her lips to my crown.

Her pheromones flood the air, making my vision hazy. Though the curtain is still partially open, that does nothing to diffuse the scent.

Lennox’s naughty tongue darts out, swirling around the mushroom head on the tip of my cock. It takes everything in me not to shove her deeper while thrusting up into her mouth. Her pretty eyes stay on mine as she grins around my length like she knows how paper thin my control is. She moves to cup my knot, and it pulses in response to the pressure.

“Yeah, in case anyone cares, I’m still fucking fascinated by watching my cum drip…” He groans. “Ahh, fuck. So, we never had a conversation about birth control.”

“Still have the IUD?” I give Lennox’s hair a little tug to ensure she’s focused. Not that there’s much that could be done now.

She nods, twirling her tongue around my shaft.

“She’s got an IUD,” I tell Rush, but who knows if he hears me. He’s got hazy eyes, and he’s focused completely on where he disappears inside her. “You better have had a recent checkup. I know Lennox and I are good.”

“Yeah, I have,” Rush grunts. “I’m good too.”

Lennox huffs, cupping the underside of my cock with her tongue as she works her way deeper down my length. Rush circles an arm around her, and I’m betting he teases her clit, based on the muffled moans that escape as she sucks me off.

My nostrils flare, breathing in a deep hit of her pheromones. The way she applies firmer pressure to my knot makes my dick jump. She’s so fucking beautiful, especially with her mouth stretched to capacity.

Rush continues to fuck into her from the back, and I tighten my hold in her hair to keep her from going too deep. Not that I don’t love it when she swallows around my crown, but from this direction, I don’t think that would be possible.

“You’re perfect,” I murmur, wishing we already had a bond, so I could send her hits of my emotions in the link. I settle for running the fingers of my free hand over her cheek. “Such a good girl. Pleasing both your alphas.”

Rush slams deep, and Lennox gasps around my length. “Christ, so, that wasn’t purposeful, but holy fuck…” He continues rambling as I realize he’s knotting her.

I try to pull her off to give her some time to adjust, but she fights me, hollowing her cheeks.

“Such a dirty girl, stuffed full of Rush’s knot with your lips stretched around my cock. You truly are a perfect little fuck doll.” I wrap my fingers close to the base of her skull as my arousal grows. “I’m going to take over, so I can fill that pretty mouth, and you’re going to swallow every drop.”

Lennox sobs, and her eyes clench shut. Her hold loosens on my knot as her entire body shakes.

“Yeah, I can’t do much besides rut, but it’s the most intense…” Rush growls. “Oh, fuck me.”

I keep my tip on her tongue, giving her the opportunity to ride out her orgasm with Rush. Her eyes pop open, and I’m already on edge from watching her lose it. My grip in her hair guides her farther down my length. It’s only a few thrusts of my hips until I bust.

Lennox moans, sucking me deep and doing the best she can to swallow every drop. Hearing her sputter and choke only makes my cock swell even harder.

“That’s it, pretty girl,” Rush coos. “Destroy him like you just did me.”

My entire body trembles as she continues to suck long after my orgasm subsides.
