Valen cupped Sam’s cheeks, dropping kisses over his lips, his nose, his forehead. “Whatever happens, Big H and I will be here,” he said. “And we’ll be here for whatever you need. We love you.”
“You deserve care and love,” Harris said. “Remember?”
Kind of hard to, when Sam was all shaken up from the nightmare, his heart still racing, the sheets beneath him damp with sweat. He shook his head.
“You are brave and precious,” Harris whispered in Sam’s ear, stroking his thumb down Sam’s jaw. “Whatever happens to the baby, and whatever has happened in the past, you’re my omega.”
A lump rose in Sam’s throat. He belonged to his alphas. They wanted him around, even if something happened to the baby. Was that the truth?
“Mine, too,” Valen said, nuzzling Sam’s ear. He stroked Sam’s shoulder and frowned. “Sheets are funky. C’mon, let’s move you to a drier spot.”
Valen slipped his arms beneath Sam, dragging Sam to his side of the bed. It was more comfortable here; the sheets didn’t cling to Sam’s back.
Then Valen kissed down his chest, down Sam’s belly, and held him, his palms warm, his lips soft on Sam’s skin. “See, there’s a baby here,” Valen said. “ You don’t have to worry.”
There really was a bump. Sam pressed his palms to his abdomen. Your baby is about 10 ounces now, the doctor had said.
Valen blew a raspberry into Sam’s belly, a ticklish gust of air. Sam cracked a smile. “Tickles.”
“Now you’re smiling,” Valen said, nuzzling Sam’s belly. “Landon, your Dad’s worried about you. We’re waiting for you to join us out here. Your Papa wants to bring you out on all the hikes, and I just want to see your Dad feed you all the food.”
“Gods, Valen,” Harris said, sliding his fingers into Valen’s hair. He pulled Valen up, then kissed him, sliding into his mouth.
Sam watched them both. How many omegas had the pleasure of seeing his two alphas kiss? And Valen and Harris both looked good, with their sculpted chests, their strong arms, their lips locked with each other.
Then Harris broke the kiss, leaving Valen’s mouth glistening. He leaned in close to Sam, and brushed their lips together. Nipped on Sam’s lower lip, smelling like oak and morning breath, too.
Sam opened for him, tangling their tongues. It lasted for a moment, then Harris pulled away, his gaze soft. “Morning, Sam.”
“Morning,” Sam breathed.
The nightmare didn’t seem so bad now, with Harris stroking his cheek, Valen’s callused hands slipping up between Sam’s legs.
“Remember the time I said you had a secret power?” Valen asked, his eyes gleaming. “Back in high school?”
Sam remembered, but he wanted Valen to tell him, anyway. Harris raised his eyebrows.
“It was during lunch break,” Valen said. “Sam and I were sitting in a tree. Then I told Sam, ‘Your secret power is making everyone fall in love with you.’ Because he’s really the best.”
Sam’s cheeks heated. “If that’s a secret power, though, then everyone would be falling in love with me, but it wouldn’t be because they really loved me.”
“Well, whether or not you have that secret power, I love you,” Valen said, kissing up Sam’s belly. “And so does Big H.”
Sam smiled, running his fingers through Valen’s soft hair. “You like talking me up.”
Valen nipped at his skin. “If I don’t talk my omega up, who am I gonna do it for?”
“I don’t know, Harris?”
Harris rolled his eyes. “Do that for Sam. I don’t need it.”
“Sure you do,” Valen said. “You’re my alpha.”
Harris stared at Valen for a heartbeat, and Valen blushed. “I haven’t said it to you before, have I?”
“Not to me in private, you haven’t.”
Valen bowed his head, leaning over Sam so he was closer to Harris. “My alpha,” he said quietly.
Harris sucked in a breath. Then he wound his fingers through Valen’s hair, pressing their foreheads together. “My alpha,” Harris said.
Valen grinned, a flush rising on his cheeks.
Sam stopped breathing. It was an intimate moment, both of them bowing to each other like that. Sam wasn’t sure he was supposed to witness it.
Harris kissed Valen’s lips. Then he pulled away, meeting Sam’s eyes. “And my omega.”
And now Sam felt all warm, too.
“My omega,” Valen said, kissing Sam’s belly. “I love you both.”
A laugh bubbled through Sam’s chest. He loved both his alphas, wanted them in his life. Harris was smiling down at him, and Valen—Valen pushed Sam’s legs open. Heat unfurled through Sam’s body.
Then Valen cupped Sam’s ass, lifted his hips, and kissed down Sam’s cock and balls, to his hole. Sam gasped.
“So maybe this is how I want to prove my love,” Valen said, flicking his tongue over Sam’s entrance. “Cover him with my love juice.”
Harris slapped Valen’s ass. “Quit being vulgar.”
Valen laughed, a puff of warm air against Sam’s skin. “The last time, you told me to quit thinking about sex all the time.”
Harris rolled his eyes. “So you think about it 90% of the time.”
Sam chuckled, watching them. Valen grinned. “Do you want to be covered in love juice, Sam?”
Sam squirmed, trying to get Valen to lick him again. “Depends on what juice it is.”
Valen’s smile grew. “So this is fine?”
He dragged the point of his tongue around Sam’s hole, then pushed in. Sam moaned, his body stretching. Valen swirled his tongue inside, drew it out. Licked over Sam’s hole again. Then he blew on it, and Sam’s damp skin tingled.
“I love the way Sam looks,” Valen said, spreading Sam’s cheeks with his thumbs. “You’re so pink and tight, and when I go in, it’s so damn hot. Like a fireplace.”
Sam’s cock stirred.
“Yeah?” Harris growled.
“And I love the way you stretch around me. Like, your hole sucks around my cock, and then I pull out and it refuses to let go. It’s like a big hug.”
Sam blushed, his skin burning all the way to his forehead. He’d
