“I do. I really do.” I breathe in his scent off the blanket deeply. “These are all your blankets and pillows.”
“And yours as well from the cupboard.”
“I adore you,” I murmur into the blanket.
“As I adore you. We will leave you to rest now, baby girl. We’ll bring you something to eat later on tonight.”
“Thank you.”
I wait for all the men to leave before I unravel from the soft pale blue blanket and strip off naked. I flop back to the nest, a sense of wellbeing and care overwhelming me. The fluffy blankets and soft rugs underneath are absolute heaven. With a smile on my face, my eyes close. Surrounded by a level of safety and comfort I have never known before, and knowing that despite our rocky start, I think I might just be falling for these alphas. Even though I’m totally out of my depth and feel so naïve and innocent next to them, they haven’t done anything to make me feel uncomfortable. Only the opposite. My stomach is once again tied in knots as I think about the next few days. My anxiety level spikes, and I whimper, burying my face into Sebastian’s blanket. I’m on a roller coaster of emotions right now. I just hope that I don’t make a fool of myself tomorrow around these older, way more experienced alphas. That would be the worst.

I hear the bedroom door open, but I ignore it. What comes next is harder to ignore though.
“Happy Birthday, Faith!”
This greeting is bellowed into my nest, forcing me to open my eyes.
“Whu?” I mumble, still mostly asleep and feeling hot and bothered. I kick off the blankets and force my gritty eyes to open.
All four faces of the St. James alphas swim into view, along with a birthday cake in the shape of a strawberry.
“Happy twenty first,” Sebastian adds, more quietly this time.
“Fuck.” I shove my hand into my hair. “I’d totally forgotten with everything else going on.” How fucking daft can you be? The whole reason I’ve gone into my first heat isbecauseof my twenty-first birthday.
He chuckles and crawls into the nest. “Am I okay to be in here?”
“Of course,” I reply, confused as to why he is asking.
He leans over and gives me a soft kiss on the top of my head. “Do you want some cake? You didn’t eat last night.”
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t even hear you come back.”
He shrugs. “It’s okay. We figured you’d be sleeping, but wanted to make sure you had something if you woke up starving.”
“Always starving.”
“That’s what we figured,” Xander says, also crawling into the nest and curling up near me but not touching me.
I glance over to the teepee opening and beckon the other two men inside. “Don’t stand out there,” I chide them. “Party’s in here.”
Benjamin snickers and crawls in, followed by Harvey. It’s full of gorgeous, masculine, delicious smelling alphas. It’s cosy and beautiful.
And that’s when it hits me.
The absolute, desperate need to have sex with all of them, as many times as I can to satisfy the dull ache deep inside me that is twisting my stomach into a further knot.
I meet Sebastian’s blue-eyed stare with a sultry one of my own and his smiling face descends into something darker, sexier and irresistible.
I shove the blanket back and as naked as the day I was born, I pounce on the prime alpha, with a slick coated pussy, ready to devour every inch of him and then move on to the next after I’ve come all over his knot.
I slam him back to the soft floor of the nest, my hands pressing down on his chest. He grabs my wrists and asks, “One last time, baby girl. Do you want us all in here to relieve your heat?”
“Yes,” I pant. “A thousand times, yes.”
