The Light in Us

56. Rowan

Rowan

S he’s hurting.

Unacceptable.

Fallon cries out when I reach down to press a kiss against her bare skin. Her hands are scrabbling with her jeans as she fights to get out of them, and I gently bat her hands out of the way, flicking open the button and dragging them down her legs until I can peel them off.

Her perfume, her slick – the slick of a needy, desperate omega – hits me in a rush of dopamine, nutmeg and oranges and a rich, sweet scent that has me breathing deeply. Teddy swears behind me, wrestling with his own clothes.

“Fuck.” I groan the word as I take in the soaked state of her cream panties. “You’re fucking beautiful, Fallon.”

I don’t waste any time. Leaning forward, I yank off her underwear and spread her legs open, exposing her puffy, swollen little slit to us. Fallon moans, lifting up her hips. “Rowan. Empty.”

I want to lick. To spend hours gorging on her, bringing her to the edge over and over again.

Next time . And there will be a next time.

Fallon Matthews is about to learn that I might not be an alpha. And maybe I’m not her scent-match. But I’m hers all the same.

I belong to Teddy. To Fox. And now to Fallon too.

The knowledge settles into me as surely as she slips into place, right beside them.

Perfect.

I press my fingers against her entrance first. “What do you need, baby? Fingers or cock?”

My cock is straining against my own jeans, and I palm it roughly with one hand as I push two fingers inside her, testing. The tension in her body lessens slightly, and I add a third, sliding them in and out and watching them disappear inside her clenching cunt.

Goddamn.

Teddy stretches out beside her, and my throat threatens to close up as he nudges her face to the side. Her forehead is dotted with sweat as she goes straight for his lips, pressing into him as he holds her steady.

And her pussy grips my fingers like a fucking vice.

“That’s it,” I coax her. “Let Teddy fuck your pretty mouth with his tongue, Fallon. And I’m doing the same with my fingers. Your pussy feels so fucking tight, love.”

I silently wonder at the marvels of omega biology. Because no diagram on this planet could explain how Fallon is going to be able to take her alpha’s cocks, let alone their knots.

My cock is no slouch in that department, either.

I pull out of her, drinking in her breathy little moan as Teddy plays with her breasts. He tweaks her nipples, tugging on them gently, his hands roaming over her as he pets her while they’re playing. Settling her.

She tears her mouth away from his, her eyes glassy. “ Cock , Ro.”

I nearly lose it at the sweet sound of my pack nickname on her lips. My cock is already rock solid and weeping for her, a bead of cum welling up on the end that I swipe my finger over before rubbing it into her little swollen clit.

I like knowing that I’m on her skin.

Fallon bucks under me as I grip her thighs and settle between her legs. Teddy moves his mouth down her body, sealing his lips around her nipple and sucking on them loudly. “Fuck me, you taste like Christmas, Fallon. This is my new favorite flavor.”

She pushes her breast further into his mouth. Fallon’s hair is trailing loose from her plait, strands clinging damply to her skin as Teddy suckles at her. Her amber eyes are hazy and full of yearning as she watches me rub my cock up and down her soaked pussy, covering myself with her.

She whines, pushing into me. “Now.”

I’ll never say no to her. I’ll never deny her anything.

I push into her heat slowly, my eyes on her face. She tips her head back, her expression pure pleasure. “More. Harder .”

Teddy’s fingers dance over her clit, rubbing and flicking. “You heard our omega, Ro.”

His voice… he sounds almost drunk. Drunk on Fallon, his own eyes hazy as he returns to her mouth, tasting and sipping as if he can’t get enough.

And as I pull back and thrust the full length of my cock into her, feeling her body accommodate mine in a silky, hot wetness that has me roaring louder than any alpha, I know exactly what he means.

I will never get enough of our omega.

Fallon’s back bows, her scream pure rapture. “ More .”

Everything. I give her everything, setting a pounding pace into her body, my fingers sinking into her soft skin as I drink in her cries, her moans, my name on her lips.

I take it all and I demand more.

I slow just enough, changing to shallow thrusts as Teddy lifts Fallon and slips in behind her, settling her back against his chest as I lift up her legs, nudging them over my shoulders.

Fallon’s head lolls against Teddy’s shoulder as he pulls her damp hair away from her face. The three of us are pressed so tightly together, Fallon between us, that I can’t stop my speed from picking up. Teddy sucks on her neck, imitating a bonding mark that has her screaming and twisting, her pussy clamping down so tightly around my cock that I lose control entirely. Ropes of cum, fucking endless , erupt from me, filling up her sweet little pussy as Teddy smooths his hands over her skin, licking at her neck as I sag over her, my cock still buried inside her as I carefully lower her legs to the soft floor.

I don’t… I don’t quite understand what just happened.

Nirvana.

“Fallon,” I choke, suddenly desperate. I stay where I am, reaching for her and cupping her face in sudden panic.

What if she didn’t like it?

What if it was just for this moment?

If all I can be is a replacement on standby, I’ll take it. But I think... I think it would break my heart every single day to not be able to call her mine .

Teddy reaches out, strokes my face in quiet reassurance before he glances down at her. “Steady. She’s just coming around. Aren’t you, love? You did so fucking well.”

He presses his lips to the side of her head as her eyes flicker. “There we go. Rowan is worried about you, I think. Did we break you?”

His words are soft, infinitely gentle, but I can sense the concern there, too.

We’re not her alphas. This isn’t instinctive for us. We don’t automatically know what she needs.

And if we got it wrong—

Fallon stirs. A small, sleepy smile curves her lips as her eyes blink open. And it’s Fallon watching me, not an omega in the middle of a heat spike. “Come here, Ro.”

My heart twists inside my chest as I lean over her. She brushes her lips against mine once, twice. And then she twists to do the same to Teddy.

I press my face against her stomach, my words rumbling against her skin. “This should be interesting to explain to Fox.”

Teddy’s amusement fills the room. “He’s going to be so damn jealous he wasn’t here.”

As if on cue, Fox’s voice bellows up the stairs in the distance.

Something about a crime scene?

The three of us stare at each other. Fallon winces as we hear footsteps outside, and the door flies open.

“Where’s my mate?”

“Why the fuck is there a crime scene by the front door?”

“Fallon—.”

The three of them come to an abrupt stop.

Silence.

I casually try to hook a nearby blanket to cover us with my foot as they get a good look at my bare ass, stretched out over Fallon with Teddy behind her. Our bodies covered in sweat and slick and the scents of the two omegas filling the room.

“Panic over,” Teddy says smoothly. “We took care of it.”

Someone moans when he drops a kiss on Fallon’s smiling lips. Possibly our pack leader. “I should have written a full paper on what I define as trouble .”

Definitely heading for a spanking.
