“I’ll follow your lead, alpha.”

Lidon gasped as Enar’s words echoed through the living room of the ranch. He stood hand in hand with Palani, his face showing both fear and determination. He’d made his decision, had overcome his fears, Lidon realized. They were doing this.

He barely had time to let the magnitude of their choice sink in, because Vieno had unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them down, whimpering with impatience. His mate needed him and for now, Vieno’s heat would take priority. But how would this work with one omega and three men desperate to fuck him? He couldn’t be the only one whose cock ached with need—though the need didn't burn as desperate as the first time he met Vieno.

“Let’s move this into the bedroom,” Palani said, practical as ever.

Lidon nodded, then picked up Vieno who slumped against him, his body burning against Lidon’s. “Alpha…” he moaned, rubbing his cheek against Lidon’s chest.

He carried him to the bedroom with ease, Vieno trembling against him, his body flushed and his eyes misty. He was a burning, horny mess, his body drawing Lidon in like a magnet. His cock poked hard as steel against Vieno’s body.

“I’ve got you, sweetheart,” he said, his voice raw. God, he wanted him, Vieno’s sweet smell invading every cell of his body, luring him in.

He lowered him to the soft bed where Vieno’s soaking wet underwear disappeared within seconds. His little omega had all but undressed Lidon in the living room already, so Lidon took off his own underwear and climbed on the bed. Before he’d even positioned himself, the omega sprung on top of him, latching onto him in desperation. With clarity, Lidon realized that the solution was as simple as that: they would follow Vieno’s cues. Whatever he needed right now would work. Lidon would set aside all jealousy and alpha dominance as long as his mate would get the fulfillment he so desperately sought.

Vieno wanted his cock, so he would get it. With no further preamble, Lidon rolled them over so he topped Vieno, who arched underneath him. “Oh god, finally. Fuck me, please…”

The words tumbled from his lips as if he were drunk, his eyes half-lidded and his cheeks flushed. He took Lidon’s breath away, all needy and horny for his cock.

His cock twitched in eagerness and Lidon could no longer resist. His hands lifted Vieno’s hips, angling his body so he could claim him with one thrust, knowing Vieno’s hole would be slick in preparation. The omega moaned loudly in his arms, a sound that shot straight to Lidon’s balls.

He was so hot inside, so wet for him, shnick-shnick slurping sounds coming from him every time Lidon thrust. His own ass flexed reflexively as his need rose even higher. It was what an omega’s heat did to an alpha, and nothing compared to this itch under your skin, this deep need to fuck, and fuck, and fuck again.

He yanked Vieno down, still buried to the hilt inside that luscious ass, then positioned him with his legs wide and pushed back so he could fuck him in earnest. The first few rounds weren’t about creativity. All Vieno needed was a hard fuck. They both did.

He blocked out the somewhat surreal experience of Enar and Palani getting undressed in the same room and focused on his mate, who encouraged him with a stream of whimpers, groans, and noises, his body restless underneath Lidon and his ass clenching around Lidon’s dick.

“Harder. Fuck me harder,” Vieno begged.

Ah, how he loved to hear him beg, his voice all needy and desperate. Vieno might think it slutty, but Lidon could think of few things sexier than someone who needed you with a want so fierce it blocked out everything else. Vieno had no shame right now, no qualms about communicating what he wanted, and it was such a damn turn on.

He shoved his legs back as he slammed in again, driven by the need to get that first load out that would help both him and Vieno. It came seconds later and his vision went white as he came. His cock never even softened, nor had he expected it to. It would stay hard for hours now, fueled by Vieno’s need.

“Again,” Vieno begged, leaving no room for doubt about what and who he wanted.

“As often as you need,” Lidon promised him, his voice raw with want. “Anything you need. God, you’re so wet for me, sweetheart, so ready. Look at you burning for me, for us… You’re so sexy like this, and I want you so much.”

Slick noises filled the room again as Lidon set a steady rhythm, burying himself with every deep thrust. The bed dipped as Enar and Palani joined them, stretching out beside him to watch.

Lidon checked in with himself. He should be weirded out they observed him fucking, right? Except he wasn’t. His alpha merely growled with contentment over the proximity to his mates.

Mates.

Plural.

It sunk in then, that he no longer had one mate. If this was to work, if they were together with all four of them, he had three.

Holy fucking hell.

He didn’t have time to ponder it, because Vieno thrashed under him, clawing at his arms, needing more than a hard fuck. He refocused on him, bending over to kiss him. “You need my knot, sweetheart? You ready for me?”

“Please, alpha…I need it. I need you.”

The begging endeared him and turned him the fuck on at the same time. He sped up until he came again, then folded Vieno almost double and buried himself until he bottomed out, engulfed in Vieno's body.

“Oh…” Vieno groaned as Lidon allowed his knot to swell. It flared at the base of his cock, growing bigger and bigger. “Yes, oh yes… I need you.”

He kept babbling until Lidon kissed him, greedily drinking in every sound from his lips. Every little whimper, every groan, every gasp, he wanted them all. He didn’t let Vieno’s mouth go until his knot was fully formed, immersed in Vieno’s slick heat and closing off his channel. Hot damn, nothing topped that sensation, did it?

One day, he would knot him and impregnate him, creating beautiful babies with his sweet mate. He’d fill him up and watch him grow, his belly all soft and alive. He wasn’t ready yet, none of them were. They’d figure out everything else first. But one day…and he couldn’t wait. For now, Lidon was grateful Enar could make sure Vieno wouldn’t get pregnant.

Vieno whimpered when Lidon’s knot had completed, his eyes hazy. Lidon turned on his back with Vieno on top of him, so the little omega wouldn’t have to bear his weight the whole time. He didn’t expect his knot to keep as long as the previous time, but it could still be a while. Vieno let himself be maneuvered but once he sprawled on top of Lidon, he moved restlessly, seeking for something.

“What do you need, sweetheart?”

“More…”

Lidon frowned. He was already knotting him, what more did he have to give? Then Vieno turned his head toward Enar and Palani and Lidon understood. He needed all three of them. He jerked his chin to indicate his approval and Palani climbed over him to his other side. Seconds later, Vieno sat up on Lidon’s knot, his left hand reaching out for Palani, his right for Enar. When they met his hands, he brought Enar’s fingers to his mouth and Palani’s to his chest.

God, he was beautiful, the way he sat there, softly rocking himself on Lidon’s knot, his body displayed for all of them to see, to touch, to worship. Little sighs and moans fell from his lips until Enar pushed two fingers against his mouth, and Vieno eagerly opened up to suck on them. On his other side, Palani came in closer, sitting up to reach Vieno’s upper body. He caressed his smooth chest with his hands, then drifted until he reached the omega’s nipples.

The sound Vieno made as Palani rolled his nipple between his finger was pure lust. It shouldn’t have surprised Lidon that Palani knew what aroused Vieno, seeing how long they’d been together, but it was mesmerizing to watch. Palani tugged on those little buds, flicked them, played with them until Vieno's body shook, drool dripping down his chin from sucking on Enar’s fingers.

“Look at you…so beautiful,” Palani said, his voice filled with love as much as desire. “How do you feel, baby, with that big knot inside you?”

Enar dragged his fingers out, pure wonder on his face.

Vieno moaned. “So full…”

“Details, baby. I wanna hear the details. Tell me everything…”

“His cock is so big…so perfect. When he fucks me hard, it hurts so good. But oh god, when his knot forms…it fills me…it presses against this needy place inside me… I want more, Palani. Please, I need more.”

His hands searched, fidgeting, clutching onto Palani’s arms, then letting go again, as if wanting something else. Lidon didn’t know what to do. What did Vieno need? He couldn’t read him.

“What does he need?” he asked Palani.

Palani hesitated. “I’m not sure if you—”

“Anything he needs. Anything. We’re here for him. This is not about me,” Lidon interrupted him.

He hadn’t realized his much he meant those words until he’d spoken them and his alpha signaled his approval. All he wanted was to take care of Vieno. If that meant having Palani function as a cruise director slash pimp, he would suck it up. Besides, Lidon was pretty sure that whatever the beta would come up with, it would result in an erotic fuck-fest they’d all enjoy.

Palani nodded, then turned to Enar, whose eyes were glued to Vieno. Enar’s cock creamed precum at the head. No wonder, with the show in front of him.

“Enar…” Palani said, and it took a second before Enar’s eyes refocused on the beta. “Are you okay with me telling you what to do?”

Enar’s eyes widened, and he nodded. “Yeah. Whatever he needs.”

Palani took a deep breath. Lidon wondered what went through his mind right now. He’d taken care of Vieno so long by himself, so what did it mean to him to now share him with two others…and alphas at that? Lidon hadn’t spotted any annoyance with him, not even a bit of jealousy. He’d thought it before and he realized it again, how deep Palani’s love for Vieno was that he’d always put the omega’s needs first.

“Straddle Lidon with your ass toward his face, so you’re facing Vieno,” Palani told Enar, who sent Lidon a quick look to make sure he was on board with this and then followed the beta’s instructions.

Lidon was treated to the perfect view of Enar’s backside and while his ass wasn’t as round and luscious as Vieno’s, it was definitely not a hardship to look at. Lidon loved how his golden skin stretched taut around those firm globes. And fuck knew his ass was tight, gripping his cock like a warm, slick fist. It was weird to think about that as he was still knot-deep inside Vieno, who was rocking himself on Lidon’s knot, but his mind could picture it perfectly, the way Enar’s hole clenched around him, always struggling to take him in.

Lidon couldn’t see what happened as Enar's body blocked his view, but Enar leaned in and then the sucking noises informed him Enar and Vieno were kissing. Vieno wrapped his arms around Enar, his small hands caressing his back. Palani threw a bottle of lube near Lidon’s hand, then took position behind Vieno, pushing Lidon’s legs wide to make room for himself between them.

As Lidon lay there, his knot still fully swollen inside Vieno, it hit him that he had never felt more right in his life, as if he was doing what he was meant to do, born to do, with the men he was supposed to be with. All three of them were pleasuring their omega, helping him through his heat. It was how it should be.

He threw his head back and let his alpha roar fill the room.

It was like a dream, Enar thought, an out-of-body experience. Surely, this could not be happening to him. He could not be the man who found himself in bed with three others, his body on fire and his cock crying with want… Except he was.

Lidon’s alpha roar rolled over him, through him, making him want to do things no alpha should. God, he wanted his friend to take him…in front of Palani and Vieno—which was the stupidest thing he could ever allow to happen. Even if Palani knew and Vieno had voiced his acceptance of Enar bottoming, this was not something he should ever engage in with them present. But how he yearned to submit…almost as much as he longed to bury himself deep in Vieno. It killed him, this war inside him.

Vieno attacked his mouth like it was the last thing he’d ever do while his hands roamed Enar’s body wherever he could reach him. Small, hot hands stroked his biceps, his pecs, creating a sensual fire everywhere they touched this skin. Enar burned with want, with need, his body demanding more. But what were the rules here?

Palani moved in closer behind Vieno, his hands coming around the omega to play with his nipples again. Apparently, that was a big turn on for Vieno…something to keep in mind. Every time Palani pinched those little buds, so red and swollen, glistening with the saliva Palani had used on them, Vieno moaned a little into Enar’s mouth. It was the sexiest sound ever.

And fuck, the little omega could kiss. He wasn’t shy about it either. No coy playing around or pretending to evade Enar. No, he full on invaded his mouth, gave as good as he got with an aggression that made Enar tremble with want. He needed to be inside him, needed to claim him for himself as well…

Could he? Would Lidon allow anyone else to fuck Vieno? Would his alpha? He’d told Palani it wasn’t about him, but Enar wasn’t sure if that was realistic. Fuck, he needed the boundaries of whatever they were doing.

Then Vieno’s hands trailed from his stomach lower and lower until they found Enar’s cock. The omega wrapped his right hand around the head while his left circled the base as best as he could from his position. Enar couldn’t hold back the grunt of pleasure when Vieno spread the precum around the head of his cock and gently squeezed.

He shifted even closer toward him so Vieno could reach him easier. “Oh, god…” he groaned, breaking off the kiss to lower his head on Vieno’s shoulder.

Vieno rocked his lower body on Lidon’s knot and Palani rutted against Vieno’s back—his ass? Enar couldn’t see—in the same rhythm. When Enar lifted his head again, Palani’s mouth moved in for a deep, wet kiss. They kissed, almost against Vieno’s head, both their heads at an angle they couldn’t keep up for long, but damn, that kiss stoked the fire inside Enar even higher.

Lidon moved under him. Even over the wet sounds of the sloppy kiss with Palani, the slick noises of his cock being jacked off, and the soft sighs Vieno let out, Enar recognized lube being opened. What was Lidon doing?

Just as he had to break off the kiss with Palani because his neck cramped, slick fingers touched the top of his crack. Holy fuck.

“Ugh…” he groaned as the alpha’s finger breached his hole. Lidon didn’t ask to be let in, he took. And Enar gave in, like he always did, because it was what he wanted…what they both wanted. The thought took hold in his head. Lidon wanted this. Why? Why was Lidon playing with his ass? Just to bring Enar pleasure or was he prepping him to fuck him? God, it was too much, all these conflicting thoughts and emotions.

Vieno’s hands increased their grip on his cock, and Palani rutted faster, letting out a moan that made Enar want to fuck him, too… His balls tightened and then Lidon shoved another finger deep inside his ass and Enar lost it. He cried out, pinching his eyes shut as his cock went off in Vieno’s hand, cum flying out in staccato bursts with a force that left him panting.

Palani grunted and Enar felt him spasm. Was he coming, too? He opened his eyes, dragging himself out of his post-orgasmic bliss, to find Vieno licking off his hand…Enar’s cum…with pure bliss on his face. Enar’s dick filled instantly again.

Palani kissed Vieno’s neck, nibbling on it. “We’re gonna make such a mess of you, baby,” he said. “Thank you for being such a horny little shit.”

Vieno laughed, a sound happier than Enar had ever heard him, and bent his head sideways for a quick kiss with Palani. “Mmm, cum…” the omega said. “I love it, and you know it.”

Palani moved away from Vieno and to Enar’s surprise, the omega moved off Lidon’s cock, which had come down from his knot. Enar would’ve shifted positions as well, except Lidon still had two fingers far up his ass…and now three. What was he doing?

Palani and Vieno shared a soft kiss and god, it was so sweet to see those two together. The love between them hummed in the air, and it made Enar’s heart do something funny and twirly that he didn’t recognize.

“I want Enar,” Vieno announced, his voice thick with want. He licked his lips as he looked at Enar, whose dick leaked again, fueled by the pheromones that hung heavy in the air.

Enar held his breath, waiting for Lidon to say that was never gonna happen.

“Okay, sweetheart. On your hands and knees,” Lidon said, and Enar couldn’t move anymore. Was he really going to…? How was this even possible? How was Lidon’s alpha okay with this?

Vieno moved into position, his head bent low and his ass sticking up. Lidon’s fingers pulled out of Enar’s ass, then he slapped it.

“Go on, fuck him,” Lidon said, his voice low.

Enar climbed off him, hesitant to face him out of fear of what he’d see on his face. Maybe he only did this because Vieno wanted it, but he would regret it later?

“Enar, look at me,” Lidon said. When Enar didn’t obey, he said it again. “Look at me.” The alpha compulsion hit him hard and his head came up, even as he braced inside for what he would see. “You’re one of us. You belong here. He’s yours, like you are his,” Lidon spoke.

Enar shook his head. “I can’t…”

Lidon’s hand cupped his cheek. “I know it’s hardest for you because you so rarely feel like you belong, like you’re worthy. But you are. He wants you, and I damn well know you want him. You have not only my permission but my blessing.”

Lidon bent in and their mouths met, soft lips meeting Enar’s trembling ones. Electricity sizzled as his alpha kissed Enar for the first time, and Enar opened up automatically, letting Lidon swipe his mouth with his tongue, moaning at the dominance he craved and loathed at the same time. The kiss was hard, Lidon showing who was in charge, but Enar loved it and let himself be conquered, dominated. Something settled in his stomach, in his lungs, that made it easier to breathe now that Lidon had somehow claimed him. When Lidon pulled back, Enar panted, wanting more.

“Fuck him,” Lidon ordered again.

Enar nodded. They wanted him to be a part of them. He was a part of them, of this. He still couldn’t wrap his head around it, but he’d try. And right now, they made him feel like he belonged.

Vieno sat waiting for him, quivering with need, and Enar wasted no more time. He positioned himself on his knees behind him and thrust in with one move. The omega’s channel was slick with his own natural lubricant and with Lidon’s cum, and the thought of adding to that, of mingling his own seed with Lidon’s was erotic as fuck. The sloppy wet sounds his cock made when it pushed inside Vieno…god, it sounded perfect and dirty, and he wanted so much more. He pulled back out again, dragging a trail of Lidon’s fluids out. His body roared with pleasure, the flames of his desire dancing over his skin.

He’d thrust four, five times, when Lidon moved in behind him and with blinding clarity, he realized what would happen. He fucked Vieno, but Lidon would fuck him. It was his way of showing he was, in fact, the alpha.

Lidon waited behind him, holding still until Enar would signal his permission. Even as alpha, he would never do anything Enar didn’t want. Enar’s heart filled with peace as his alpha surrendered. He was exactly where he wanted to be, with whom he belonged.

“Yes, alpha.”
