The omega and her triplet mates (the kids!)

Chapter 7: Don’t want to intrude

Linda

Walking into the date Rose, Jax, and Nick were on had been so awkward. I could tell I was unwanted by the men, they both looked really annoyed when Rose made me join them, but they insisted it was fine and they did want me there.

I was getting better at reading people with Rose’s help, but it was still a struggle at times. I couldn’t tell if the men were being truthful or not. I thought maybe not because Jax didn’t do anything more than put his arm around my shoulders, and Nick had his hand on my leg.

They kissed me, but it felt like they were just trying to placate me. I wasn’t stupid, I knew what they were up to.

It was their night with Rose, and I’d ruined it for them, so I understood why they were so annoyed. I hadn’t meant to, and I told myself that next time I wouldn’t just barge in.

If they wanted more time with Rose and more space from me, then I would give them that. It had been three years, but even now I saw how differently Nick treated Rose from me. He was gentle and sweet and so loving with her. She could go and curl up on his lap whenever she wanted, and he would cuddle her close and giggle and mess around with her. He adored her.

With me he was different, still cold and even dismissive at times, he did hold me and kiss me, and he would make love to me when I wanted, but there just didn’t seem to be that same warmth and gentle love he had towards Rose. I wasn’t allowed to go jump on his lap and cuddle up whenever I wanted either, I don’t know why.

Rose had noticed the change in them both. She had also told me they were easy to make happy and it was easy to make them want me, all I had to do was offer something s.exual. Giggling at the time, she said women had power over males when it came to s**x. I wasn’t sure if that was true, but I decided to try it because I didn’t want to sit between them while they were both cold and moody having me there.

Pushing aside any shyness, I put my hands down both their trousers and held their soft members. They both looked down at me, their eyebrows raised when they looked at one another, but they didn’t say anything, so I started to stroke them, play with them, until they slowly grew hard in my hands.

Jax slouched down in his seat and spread his legs wider, giving me easier access, and it wasn’t long before Nick did the same.

I dared myself to be a little like Rose and ask for what I wanted. “Kiss me,” I said to Jax. He leaned down and kissed me, and I moaned against his lips when I felt Nick kissing my neck.

I stroked them faster until they were softly moaning. Jax leaned his head back, and then, without warning, they both came all over my hands. It spurted onto the floor as well and on themselves.

“f***k,” Jax breathed.

I got up to go wash my hands, and they both asked, “where are you going?”

“To wash my hands, and then you can enjoy the evening with Rose.” I walked off and was cleaning up in the bathroom when Jax came up behind me and slid his arms around my waist.

“Thanks, darling, you don’t need to disappear, though. Stay with us.” He pressed his lips to my neck, kissing it lightly, and I smiled. Turning to face him, I said, “I’ve missed you, Jax.”

His eyes traveled over my face softly, and stroking my hair away from my face, he held my cheek and said, “I’ve missed you too, darling.”

“Have you?” I asked.

He frowned and said, “yeah, of course I have.”

“It feels like you’ve been avoiding me.”

“I’m sorry, I love you,” he said and pulled me into his arms.

“I love you too, Jax, so much.” I hugged him tight, and he stroked my hair softly.

He pulled back and said, “how about tomorrow you and me spend time together?”

“Just you and me?” I smiled.

“Yeah, just us,” he grinned.

I nodded, and he hugged me again. “Alright, good, let’s go finish the movie.”

I joined them, and when it was over and everyone was in bed, I wasn’t surprised that both Jax and Nick were all over Rose, touching her, kissing her, wanting s**x with her. She tried to shoo them away because of me, but I knew it wasn’t fair of me to be ruining her night with them, so I ignored my unfair feelings of jealousy and feeling unwanted, and I ignored them telling me I could stay.

I smiled, said goodnight, and went to sleep in Jax’s room, but Romulus caught me in the hallway and called out, “where the f***k do you think you’re going?”

“Uh, to bed?”

“Not alone you aren’t, get your a.rse in my room.”

Grinning, I followed him to his room, and any feelings of being unwanted disappeared. Romulus certainly made me feel wanted between the sheets until we were both sweaty and panting.

I cuddled up to him after, feeling safe and loved. I trusted all of my mates and loved them, but there was something about Romulus, that even if I was having a bad day with being intimate, he was the only one I never had any trouble with.

I didn’t mind him pinning me down on those days or doing what he wanted with me, he always made me feel safe, ok, that wasn’t fair, they all made me feel safe, but I think it was because he was so much more gentle and loving than the others, it was just easier with him.

Even though he was as dominant as his brothers he didn’t display it as openly as they did, if they were fighters then he was a lover, and it showed in the way he treated me, even his touches were more gentle and loving, and he was such a romantic it made it impossible to ever fear him hurting me or being forceful during s**x. I know the others never would either, but on my bad days I guess I just needed someone who was more gentle in nature.

My morning wake-up call wasn’t gentle though. Both Romulus and I were woken up by our son Jasper jumping up and down on the bed shouting, “want brekkie! Want brekkie! Mummy! Daddy! Wake up!”

Romulus sleepily ran his hand over his face and groaned, “in a sec, buddy.”

“Come here!” I grinned, grabbing him and bringing him under the covers with us. I snuggled up to him, and after two minutes he was restless again, wriggling around and then shaking Romulus.

“Alright, alright, I’m awake, f***k,” he groaned.

“Don’t curse!” I warned him.

“Yep, sure, sorry,” he gave a tired thumbs up, and I joined Jasper in shaking him.

“Wake up, lazy daddy,” I said playfully, and Jasper joined in.

“I’m up, I’m up!” He sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. He pulled some black sweatpants on and then stood up, picking Jasper up in his arms, and said, “let’s get breakfast, then, you little monster. Mummy can meet us down there.”

He was such a sweetheart, I know he took Jasper so that I could get dressed with some peace and privacy.

When I joined them in the kitchen, I saw Rose sitting on Nick’s lap at the kitchen table. He was talking to Jax while she was eating her breakfast. When he turned to look at me, I quickly looked away and made myself busy helping Romulus with Jasper.

Nick didn’t care, he called out, “go put your glasses o—”

“Shut up, you miserable f***k, she will later,” Jax interrupted.

“I’m not miserable, I’m just—”

“Yeah, yeah, worried about her health, blah, blah. It’s just f.ucking glasses. If she doesn’t want to wear them, she doesn’t have to. f***k me, I swear you’re her f.ucking father too. Should we do a DNA test?”

“Shut the f***k up, i.diot,” Nick snapped.

“It’s true, you are more my father than my actual father,” I said half teasingly.

“Yeah, but you like that, don’t you darling,” Jax winked at me, and I blushed hard.

“No,” I mumbled.

“Well, not the whole bossing you about and s.hit, but you like him being daddy in bed.”

“Jax! Little ears,” Rose warned, covering Joshua’s ears even though neither of the kids took any notice of us or what we were saying.

“What? I’m just talking about cuddles and princess treatment.”

I blushed so hard I had to leave the room. I had learned fast that Jax was as blunt as me about things, and nothing embarrassed him. He wasn’t afraid to embarrass you either, though half the time I don’t think he realized.

I bumped into Fenris, who wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. “Hey, babe, where you running off to?”

“Anywhere where Jax can’t embarrass me anymore.”

He laughed. “Let me grab breakfast, and then you can join me in my office if you want.”

“Ok,” I smiled.

I started spending more time with Fenris and Romulus like I used to. I had made more effort with Jax and Nick when Jax had complained about not spending much time together, but these days it felt like I was intruding too much on their time with Rose, so I backed off.
