I lay between my three alphas in a tangle of limbs. Cum dripped out of me, my skin was covered in little fingertip-shaped bruises, and there was a deep ache between my legs.
I’d never felt so happy.
My alphas caressed me through the bond, flooding me with their love and affection. I knew they loved me, but feeling it like this was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was as if their love was imprinted on my very soul.
I would never be alone again.
Tears trickled down my cheeks and Theo kissed them away.
“We’ve got you,” he murmured, tracing his fingers over his bond mark on my hand. A shiver of pleasure rushed through me. His eyelids were heavy, and I knew he was moments away from falling asleep. I leaned in for a kiss, his soft lips like silk against mine.
I held in a moan as Ben leaned over and started sucking and licking his bond mark, moving his fingers to tease my nipples at the same time.
“You’re my dream come true,” Ben murmured. I ran my fingers down his bond mark, high on his neck so everyone would see he belonged to me.
Cam shifted underneath me and caressed my backside. I rubbed my face on his warm skin, drinking in his cinnamon roll scent. “Maybe I should have bitten you here,” he said, squeezing my butt cheek. “Then I’d have an excuse to spank your ass whenever I wanted.”
Ben released my nipple with a pop. “Did Cam just make a joke?” he asked, mirth dancing in his eyes.
“Not a joke,” Cam grumbled, giving my ass a gentle slap. I wiggled on top of him, his hard cock brushing the inside of my thigh.
“You better stop that unless you want me to start something,” he mumbled, even as his eyes shut.
“As if you need an excuse to spank my ass,” I said, nipping his ear and snuggling in close. He grunted in response as he drifted to sleep.
Ben and I were the only ones left awake. We gazed at each other in comfortable silence.
“You make me dream about the future,” I whispered, running my hand through his curls. And then I smiled, remembering what I had wanted to tell him since this morning.
“I met Lilah,” I murmured.
Ben’s eyes widened. “What?”
The bond burst with Ben’s delight and confusion, and I wiggled happily at being able to feel him so deep inside me.
“Yeah,” I said with a soft smile, cupping his face. “She’s part of the Alliance. She’s the one who developed the alpha tabs and the serum and everything. She traveled in from Sol with her pack and helped me plan how to get you all out.”
Ben’s eyes were still wide with shock. “She was always a total nerd. Is she happy? What’s her pack like? How did she make the tabs?”
I pressed myself closer to him and told him everything I knew about Lilah.
“I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. I didn’t think I’d ever see her again. All this time, I’ve been thinking about how much you two would love each other and how I wished you could meet.”
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to see each other a lot more after tomorrow.”
“You nervous, precious?” Ben asked, running his fingers down my creased forehead.
“I’m scared of anything happening to you three. I just got you back,” I confessed.
“I know,” Ben said, brushing my hair from my face. “But whatever happens, we’ll face it together. Unless we can convince you not to come?”
I scowled at him.
“Yeah, thought so,” he said with a grin.
“Life’s going to be so different after tomorrow,” I said.
“Speaking of which,” Ben said. “I thought of the perfect name for our bakery.”
I smiled and wiggled closer to him, licking his bond mark. He groaned and tightened his hold on my waist.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. Vanilla Bean Bakery.” He dragged his nose down my neck, breathing in my scent.
“Hmm… what about Vanilla Pie Bakery?” I suggested with a grin.
Ben furrowed his brow. “Pie?”
“In honor of one of our signature dishes—apple pie.” I held my breath, waiting to see if he’d catch on.
Ben blinked, and then his eyes grew wide and a rush of giddiness that wasn’t my own filled my chest.
“Apple pie, really? That’s my scent?”
“It’s like all the best fall spices baked into a pie. Your scent has so much depth, just like you.” I ran my thumb over his jaw, my skin prickling with his rough stubble.
Ben blushed and tried to look away, but I gripped his chin and pulled him in for a kiss. We stayed like that, kissing and murmuring sweet words to one another, until we both drifted off.
