“It feels like an Ice Dragon’s lair.” Torin grazes his teeth down my neck. My breath hitches. “We’re his treasure, which he’s collected. He’s built his glittering nest for us, and we’re here, waiting for our Dragon King to fly home and ravish us.”
“Does that makeyouthe damsel?” I tease.
Torin nips me in revenge. “What if I’m the knight? The dragon was simply too beautiful to slay.”
“Does that mean you’re now one of his brides, along with us?” Cricket laughs.
“Oh, the Omega is feeling brave.” Torin’s eyes dance with amusement, as he grabs Cricket by the hair and hauls him up into a kiss.
Then he pushes Cricket onto his back next to me.
Cricket looks up at Torin with adoration.
Torin slides his half-hooded gaze between us with satisfaction. “Well, what are you waiting for? Kiss each other.”
Cricket pinks but he twists to me eagerly. I push myself onto my side.
Our gazes meet intently.
Cricket is as addicted to my kisses now, as I am to his.
Cricket slips his hand to the back of my head, and I stroke down his athletic back.
Then we draw each other into a tender kiss.
I moan, as his tongue tangles with mine. I can taste his sweetness and love.
I slide my thigh between Cricket’s, wishing that I could always be this close to this Omega who owns not simply a part of my heart but is woven now into all of it.
“How did I get lucky enough to have two such powerful Omegas to bond?” Torin murmurs with a rare earnestness.
I don’t know if he realizes that he’s said it out loud.
It’s like seeing behind his mask.
My heart skips a beat.
To my shock, Cricket pulls away from me. He drops his gaze, edging away and hugging his arms around himself.
My brow furrows. “Crick…?”
“Una said that her Beta, Ryan, will look after Jin through our heat.” Torin is fiddling with another piece of technology onthe floor and hasn’t noticed Cricket’s reaction. “Una’s pack are reliable, and her Beta works hard. Too hard. I trust him more than anyone else in this hall. But it’s still painful that Jin isn’t here with us. Still, he needs to rest, and his needs have never been put first before. They always will be by me. But this should help us…”
The inbuilt music system in the walls of the chamber springs on. Jin’s caramel voice fills the small space, catching me by surprise with how intimate it is.
Jin is here with us through his music. He’s serenading me through my heat.
I crawl my fingers down my body, skirting them over my hips, before they finally dip between my thighs.
I sigh, circling my clit. “I need you.Touch me.”
I need my Alpha’s knot.
Torin rests his hand on my thigh, pinning me to the mattress. “Where’s my Omega helper? Why aren’t you still kissing?”
Cricket licks over his lips.
He glances between us from underneath his long eyelashes. “Aren’t I here to take the Beta’s role? Someone needs to make sure that you’re both given food and drink. I may be small but I’m strong. You don’t need to worry. I can wash you and care for you as well as any Beta. I’m not weak. I did all the chores every day in my old pack. It takes muscles to carry buckets around and—”
