“I want you now,” she says, and it takes every ounce of strength I have to take her back into the house.
“Come on, sweet girl,” I tell her, and she whines as I take her hand in mine and walk back into the kitchen.
As soon as I walk through the door, Ezra is at attention. “James, love, your heat?” he asks.
Ian stands up, pupils wide. “Hers too?”
“Surprise!” I smile at my Alphas, and Luna shrugs against my side.
“But how? You two were only outside for twenty minutes,” Ezra asks.
“I don’t know. As soon as we kissed, it happened.”
Ian looks pained, but he asks Luna anyway. “Luna, if you aren’t ready for this, I understand.”
Luna must take it as a rejection since she shrinks in on herself and clutches against me. Ian approaches cautiously.
“Hey, hey, baby, look at me.”
He has to force her chin up to look at her. He cups her face delicately. “I want this more than anything. To take care of you and have you in every way possible. But I know it’s fast, I just want to make sure you’re okay.”
She blinks at him, and Ian looks frustrated and changes tactics.
“Little moon, I’m going to take you into the nest and fuck you so good that nothing hurts. Are you going to be a good girl and listen to your Alpha?”
She nods and licks her lips. Ian kisses her and wraps his hand around my collarbone, rubbing reassuring circles. He lets me know that we’re both his. There’s no favoritism, but he knows Luna needs him more right now than I do.
Ezra is quick with the smiles and swoops up next to me. His hand slides in my back pocket, squeezing my ass. “You like what you see, love?” He grabs my ass even harder. “Fuck me, having both of your scents mixed together smells like Dr. Pepper.”
“You’re so fucking weird. Let’s get her up to her nest.”
Luna’s lips pop off of Ian’s for a moment. He’s still holding her off the ground against his chest. “I have my own nest?”
“James’ is a little…macabre. We thought you might like your own,” Ezra replies and then looks down at me. “You’ll be all right in her nest?” he asks me gently. His hand has moved from my ass to my neck, kneading out the tension.
“I’ll be fine,” I say. Ian carries Luna bridal style up the stairs, and Ezra throws me over his shoulder before I can protest.
“Our treasured Omegas mustn’t dirty their delicate feet walking to the nest,” Ezra says in the worst British accent I have ever heard.
Luna giggles, and as much as I want to tell him to go fuck himself, I do like seeing how strong he is, so I allow it.
The two Alphas carry us down the stairs to the basement in a show of dominance and strength.
“I need to grab a few things from my nest,” I say. Ezra nods, and we stop at the first door in the basement.
I can’t help but watch Luna take it in. “Uh, is this my nest?” she says shyly and clearly not impressed. I look around at the black walls, black bedding, and the ridiculous amount of snake plants in the room. I grab my favorite pillow and the black fuzzy blanket off of the bed and point to the position cushions.
“Grab those,” I direct Ezra, and he agrees. “One of the plants too,” I tell him as he packs his arms with items to bring over to Luna’s nest. I’ve had plenty of heats, and she’s the one who needs to be comfortable right now, but there are a few things that I need to be completely comfortable.
“Your nest is nice,” Luna says. And I laugh.
“Don’t need to lie to me, babe, don’t worry yours is pretty.” She blushes, still over Ian’s shoulder, her blonde hair spiraling toward the floor.
When I open the door to her nest, her mouth gapes open. It’s so soft in here, and I realize I can definitely work with this. It might be purple, but I can deal with purple.
“Oh, it’s beautiful. You all did this for me?”
“Yeah, weeks ago,” I say, and Ian swats at my ass.
