I’m making myself comfortable against Vera’s back, the small Omega easy to cuddle, when Mathew notices I’m there. He takes my arm and wraps it around him too, letting out a soft happy sound as he settles between Jorge and Vera more. The two don’t seem to have noticed a thing, which makes me smile.

The path to all of us getting here wasn’t easy, and I’m sure that we’ve still got a long road ahead of us, but we’re here now and we can all help each other out, we can all support each other.

Even if that sometimes means we clash or that we say or do things we know aren’t right.

The most important thing is that we help each other out, even in hard times.

I wasn’t really angry with anyone. Not with Riley, not with any of the others. I was frustrated. I was frustrated that my mates were having fun, a great time, from the sounds and scents that were coming from the bathroom, and that a simple slip up turned it all bad.

Vera and Mathew’s first instinct was to get Luca outside, to get him into the fresh air, which was correct, but that then put them in danger and made things worse, not better.

My anger was mainly with myself, for not protecting my pack well enough, for not foreseeing what could happen, what could have happened, for not having a plan in case of a situation like this.

Of course, it didn’t help that Vera and Mathew weren’t doing well and neither was Luca, that definitely added to the stress, but that wasn’t the initial reason for my outburst.

There’s movement on the bed, and when I look up, Vera —still fully naked— is crawling in my direction, her eyes soft with sleep.

I quickly get up, picking her up, not wanting to chance that she doesn’t pay enough attention to what she’s doing and slips off the end of the bed. Then I get back into my chair, holding her against me tightly. “Not feeling like sleeping with the others?”

“You’re worried. Your pheromones keep waking me up.” She settles her head on my shoulder. “You don’t always have to take on everything that goes on around you on your own, you know?”

I kiss her hair, smiling. “And you know that I still do it anyway.”

Glancing around the room, I find Luca asleep in a chair by the open window, his face still somewhat pale and he looks exhausted. Poor guy.

Vera’s pheromones spike slightly as she lets out a soft laugh. “He’s very fun. Once he stopped denying his wishes, he got some great ideas.”

“I’m glad things were good, up until they weren’t.”

Everything has been so intense since Luca arrived, and it’s hard for him to bond with his Omegas if he struggles to be near them. So, knowing that they can have fun, even in small pockets of time, is reassuring.

“But maybe stick to just once, next time, probably safer. I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to push the boundaries just yet.”

Vera’s laugh deepens, her pheromones full of amusement. “But that was too short. Maybe going a little easier on the acrobatics would be better, though.”

Her hand starts wandering down to the top of my jeans, her nimble fingers making quick work of the top button, before she slides her hand inside my boxer briefs.

Sometimes, she simply has a one-track mind, usually that track is set to ‘sex’ and little else.

“Vera...” I whisper her name in her hair, not wanting to push her away, especially since it’s been days and listening to their antics in the bathroom really turned me on.

But the rest of the pack are asleep right next to us, and I don’t want to accidentally wake them up.

“Yes?” She wraps her fingers around my cock, slowly moving up and down.

“You know I can’t resist you when you’re like this.”

I slightly lift her from my lap so I can move into a more comfortable position, one where my jeans aren’t so much in the way, and then I lower her back onto me, letting her straddle my thighs. I lean forward slightly, taking one of her nipples between my lips.

She quickly muffles her moan against her arm, though her pheromones flare and I feel her slick soak into my jeans.

“I think they’ve gotten bigger.” I look up at her and she nods. “And more sensitive.” I take her other nipple into my mouth, loving the way she squirms when I do it.

Her hand on my cock moves in jerky motions as I suck, nibble and kiss her tits. She’s trying so hard not to let any sounds escape, it’s sexy.
