I dove into the cookie ice cream extravaganza, and in no time flat, I’d eaten through half the bowl, offering the occasional bite to Wilder, who kept making puppy-dog eyes at me. I couldn’t help but give in, laughing as he moaned around the spoon, just like I had.
“It’s so good, right?” I turned to Merrick with a massive grin. “You know, for someone who’s all about healthy eating, you make a mean sundae.”
“I know how to splurge every now and then.” He offered me a gentle smile, cupping my cheek. “So, how’re you feeling?”
“I’m pretty damn good, especially with this.” I held up the bowl, nodding at it. “But I know I can’t eat like this all the time. I’ll be bigger than I already am.”
“You look stunning, cutie. Don’t ever worry about that.” Wilder reached out, laying a hand on my belly and stroking.
“Incredibly,” Nolan added, his fingers finding the ends of my hair as they fell over my breast, and he used them to both caress and tickle me. “It’s been incredible to watch your body change and create the perfect home for our baby.”
Those words struck me, harder than I expected.
We’d all been planning for the baby, and my alphas had taken me shopping and helped set up the spaces the baby would need. But I hadn’t thought of the baby asours— the pack’s — yet. It wasn’t because that felt wrong or anything. It was more that I’d felt like I was carrying this burden after bonding with Preston, and he was the father directly.
And he wasn’t here.
But these wonderful men all had my back, had all my other areas too. I laughed to myself while taking another bite, and all their eyes focused on me.
“What’s so funny?” Wilder cocked a brow at me.
“This just feels…normal. We’re all here, together, just doing what packs do. It’s been a minute since I’ve enjoyed something this domestic and cozy.”
I was surrounded in hugs from every angle, which definitely made me tip the bowl and get ice cream on my chest, and I shivered from the cold treat hitting my skin.
“We’ll always be here for you, Hails. You’re our omega. We’ll do anything to care for you.”
“I know,” I offered quietly. “Iactually, reallydo.”
The guys leaned back, and I giggled as I pointed down to the trail of melted ice cream that was dripping down my chest.
“But you definitely got me messy.”
Nolan had already been focused on my breast, so he was right there to help by licking up the trail and ending it with a kiss. “There. Good as new.”
I smiled, leaning back against Wilder, drinking in his burned caramel scent, as the feeling of fullness got to me. “With that, sure, but I doubt you’re going to want to do the same with the other messes I’m sporting.”
I wiggled my leg, indicating the evidence of our sexcapades, and Nolan narrowed his eyes at me with a smirk, whispering, “Or would I?”
Heat rolled off me in a flash, more slick starting to coat my thighs. My scent flared, and I was all but convinced we were about to get started again when Merrick took the bowl and set it down on the nightstand before gripping my hands and pulling me up to stand.
“A shower, it is.” He smiled, and some part of me knew he was teasing me. “Let’s get you all squeaky clean, and then…”
“…and then?” I raised my brows at him before shooting a look over my shoulder at Nolan and Wilder.
Merrick leaned in, whispering in my ear. “I think I want to watch this time. I want to see what you look like taking them both.”
My pussy clamped down on nothing, and before I could say a word, I was being ushered into the shower, silently cursing the need for hygiene breaks. I wanted knots, not cleaning. Thankfully, Merrick took good care of me even in there, scrubbing me down, washing my hair, and working me right up to the edge with his fingers before leaving me hanging.
“Go on, omega,” he rasped in a low growl, “let me see you take both your alphas. Let me see how that perfect body takes them both so very well.”
Patting me on the ass, Merrick got me moving outside the shower. I cast a look behind me, a dull cramp from the heat already peaking as my hormones swirled. Merrick was stroking that impressive cock of his, thick and blunt, a sizable knot at his base, and slick positively oozed from me.
When I walked out into the other room and looked to the nest, Wilder and Nolan were both facing me, their eyes zeroing in on me like lasers. Both men stroked their erections, raking their stares over me as I approached the bed.
In the past, I might have been a little on edge at the prospect of taking both of them. Now? Hell, no. I wanted them in ways I couldn’t vocalize, the omega voice in my head especially demanding, wanting knots like my body wanted oxygen.
“We could smell that perfume of yours from a mile a fucking way, Hailey.” Nolan looked positively feral, eyes wild and needy, and my walls clenched again just thinking about what was coming.
