"I'm not always great at showing it," he says. "But I can do better."

I lean in and kiss him quickly. "You have nothing to prove, Hawk."

And just like that, the world falls away. All the fear, the pain, the regrets, and even the sadness is gone. I lean against Hawk's chest, listening to his heartbeat, knowing that I'm safe and loved.

Epilogue

Wedidn'thaveawedding to speak of--we were all mated and fucked into oblivion before it even occurred to me to ask for a proposal--but that doesn't stop us from having a honeymoon.

It's been a few weeks since the op that almost separated us all, and we've been trying to take it slow and easy ever since. That term is relative, of course; hard to take it slow when you started off your relationship by going into heat and fucking.

But what that does mean is that I've been spending time with the three of my men individually.

With Rafe when I want it hot and messy.

Fallon when I want it sensual and to last forhours.

And Hawk when I want to be taken care of and treated like a princess.

Now it's time for my heat to come around again, so we've planned an escape. Apparently Rafe keeps a little hideaway on a tiny island far from Solstice Bay, and that's where we go as the sun sets on the sea.

I can feel my heat sneaking up on me as we unload our stuff and go into the ramshackle little beach house that's raised up on stilts on the sand.

"How much does this little getaway cost to keep?" I ask Rafe as we go in, looking around at the rustic little place.

"Nothing," he says with a shrug. "I found it, so it's mine."

"Just like a pirate to say something like that," I giggle. "Where I come from, you'd pay a hefty price for your own private island."

Rafe takes me in one arm and smiles down at me before planting a kiss on my lips. "Well then aren't you lucky you ended up with an Enclave pack?"

I can't help but grin at his words. Lucky doesn't begin to describe how I feel about being with these three men. They're everything I could have ever wanted in a partner--and more.

As we settle in, I can feel the tingling of my heat starting to take over my body. It's like a fever that I can't shake, and I know that I need my men to help me through it.

I watch as Rafe sets up a makeshift bed on the floor, using blankets and pillows to make it as comfortable as possible. Fallon is busy lighting candles around the room, casting a warm, sensual glow over everything. And Hawk is in the kitchen, preparing food and drinks for us to enjoy.

They're making me a nest.

I love it.

We've talked a lot about getting on birth control--if it's smart to have a baby in this kind of environment. The ACB is always on our tail, and the Raft is no place to raise a child. But sitting here in the warm firelight of our private cottage on the sea, I thinkthismight be a good place to stay.

Maybe tonight, we'll start the process of growing our pack.

One step at a time...no matter how much I want to rush.

I can feel myself getting wet just watching them move around, their bodies a symphony of strength and grace. I know that I'm lucky to have them, and I'm determined to show them just how much I appreciate them tonight.

My heat curls in the pit of my stomach, then crawls through my body. I've got that antsy feeling I get right before it hits...and I know I need to be filled right away if I don't want it to start to hurt. I undress slowly and luxuriously, tossing my clothes away from the nest.

I'm not going to need those again for a while.

Rafe is the first to come back and see the look on my face, and he bites his lip as he watches me start to touch myself. I know he could watch me do this for hours--he's done it before--but not tonight.

"You look like an omega who needs to be fucked," he says. "Fallon? Are you seeing this?"

Fallon turns from where he's lighting the last few candles, and then I see Hawk come around the corner from the kitchen. My body thrums at the way all three of them are looking at me, like they're going to devour me whole.
