Forbidden: Part One (Luna & Sol Omegaverse, #1)

by Emilia Emerson

“What makes you think I’m on suppressants?” The three of them exchanged a look before Ben answered me. “We were curious because of your age, and then Amirah confirmed it,” he said before continuing quickly. “She was just trying to be helpful so we could know how to best support you. We’re not upset about it, gorgeous. Not at all. You deserve to make decisions about your own body.”

“You might not recognize us as mates yet, but I wonder if you feel more comfortable around us than other alphas you’ve been around?” Theo asked. I shifted so I could see his face, unconsciously leaning towards him so I could breathe in more of his coffee scent. “Yeah, I do,” I responded hesitantly. “Of course you do, baby girl. We would never hurt you,” Cam said, pulling me closer.

“The fact that you feel more comfortable around us is probably your omega recognizing us as mates, at least to some extent,” Theo said, running his hand through my hair. “I couldn’t scent you at Trader Joe’s, but I was drawn to you from the moment I followed you into the store.”

I melted back into his embrace. Fuck, it was like Cam was an omega whisperer.

I opened my eyes and took in the room. Even though it was sparse, it was nicer than anything I’d ever had. I could tell they had made an effort to get what I needed for my heat—the bed was massive and piled high with blankets and pillows and string lights crisscrossed the ceiling.

I’d never been in a situation before where alphas wanted to please me, and it made me feel powerful.

I heard Gerald in the background asking who they needed to kill. Gerald was the kindest, gentlest alpha I had ever met. If not for his scent, I would never have guessed his designation. Hearing him make threats in my defense eased the tightness in my chest.

“I’m literally living out one of my fantasies right now. Three super hot, rich alphas who happen to be my mates and have an amazing house and are super nice and supportive. So why am I so terrified?”

“Did you tell them about what Glen…” “No,” I said quickly. “I can’t… I don’t want to.” “You have nothing to be ashamed of,” he said sharply.

“I think you’ll need to tell them, but the timing’s up to you.” He was probably right, but I couldn’t think about it right now. No matter how often Sam told me what happened wasn’t my fault, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was dirty because of it.

“The DC sent over this Omega Care Instruction booklet for us,” Ben said, anger seething from him through the bond. My skin crawled with dread. “Brace yourself. It’s fucking disgusting,” Theo said as he handed me the tablet.

“Rest now, baby girl. I’ve got you,” I murmured.

The sweet cinnamon roll scent I’d already started associating with safety surrounded me.

“I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you. Am I crushing you?” I asked, biting my lip. Cam snorted. “Baby girl, you could lie on top of me all day, every day, and not crush me.”

I had only been here a couple of hours, but I already hoped these alphas would keep me. I didn’t want to come across as needy or high-maintenance.

“We definitely do, sweetheart. Need to get you everything you could need or want. If you don’t like the house, we’ll get a new one.”

“You can’t just change houses for me.” “Of course, we can,” he snorted. “You say the word, we’ll move. We have our other home up north that’s more secluded. If you want to be in a different part of the city, we’ll just buy a new house.”

“Listen to me,” he said sternly. “You are not damaged, and we will never want anyone else. I’m so fucking pissed at how they treated you. I had to see you or I was going to go to the Center and kill them. You deserve to be fucking cherished, not punished or starved or whatever other shit they did to you.”

He grasped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “I never want to hear you talk badly about yourself again. If anyone else does, you tell me and I will take care of it.”

“Fuck, baby, you’re so beautiful.”

He pulled me tighter into him and his lips crashed against mine, somehow soft and hard at the same time. My first kiss! Or, at least, the first one I’d wanted.

“So goddamn perfect, baby girl. So fucking beautiful when you come,”

“I didn’t know it would feel that good,” I said after my heart rate had finally slowed. “What do you mean?” Cam asked, his hand stilling on my back. “Umm, you know, coming. It exceeded the hype. Ten out of ten recommend.”

“You’ve never come with someone before?” “Yeah. Or… at all,” I said, squirming, suddenly feeling embarrassed. “Sweetheart, are you saying you’ve never had an orgasm before?” he asked, his voice strangled. “Omegas aren’t allowed until we join a pack,” I whispered. “Who says?” he asked sharply. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“If I had known it was your first one, I would have made it better for you,” he grumbled. “Better than that? Not sure it could get better,”

“I’m going to make you come every way possible, over and over. You’re going to be so overwhelmed with pleasure you won’t be able to move.

“We won’t talk about it now, but I want you to know I’m fucking pissed with whatever bullshit the DA did to you. And, because I’m a selfish bastard, I’m also fucking thrilled your first orgasm was with me.”

“That was the hottest fucking experience of my life. You made a grown-ass man come in his fucking pants.”

He kissed me on my forehead before heading downstairs, leaving me feeling more relaxed and settled than I could remember.

I tossed and turned in bed, my sheets tangling around me as I sighed in frustration. I hated going to bed early and often had trouble falling asleep, but knowing that my mate was on the other side of the hall, probably all curled up under the covers looking luscious, was torture. What if she was cold or uncomfortable or lonely?

She would probably sleep much better if I was wrapped around her body, one arm curled right underneath her amazing breasts, my knee shoved up between her legs in the perfect position for her to grind her sweet pussy on my thigh.

“That’s not true, gorgeous. You are such a good girl. Your alphas want you here. We are so thrilled to have you. You are perfect, so sweet and beautiful, such a good omega.”

“Good girl for doing as you’re told,”

Our girl gets off on praise. I suppressed a smile, tucking that tidbit of information away, hoping it would come in handy soon.

“I wish I wasn’t an omega.” Her whispered confession broke my heart. My mate had never gotten to experience the joys of being an omega, had never been lavished with the care and affection she deserved.

I hope she likes my scent because I want to fucking drown in hers.

I had dreamed of this for years—sharing an omega with my brothers—and I couldn’t have imagined anyone more perfect for us than Josie.

Fuck. I knew I couldn’t avoid my heat forever, but knowing it was inevitable and experiencing it were different things.

I had learned to never trust alphas, but I believed Cam.

It was not like me to check out an alpha, but Cam, Theo, and Ben were the exception to every rule.

I blushed, my insides squirming with happiness. I’d spent my entire life being told my body was ugly, but somehow these alphas wanted me.

The omega in me wanted to preen under his care, but I also bristled at the idea that he thought I wasn’t capable of feeding myself. As if he could sense my struggle, Ben pressed his lips to my ear. “Let us take care of you. It’s not that we don’t think you’re capable.”

Cam grasped my chin and turned my face so I was looking at him. “What did I say, baby girl?” I whimpered at his stern tone, my insides feeling like jelly. “Answer me,” he demanded. “You want to take care of me.” “That’s right. So you’re going to let us.” “Yes, alpha,” I whispered. The words slipped out of my mouth before I could second-guess them. “Good girl,” Cam said with a smile, releasing my face so I could eat the pancake Theo was holding.

Seeing this intimidating alpha stay in a freezing cold pool just to make sure I was comfortable melted my heart.

Cam was being a classic overbearing alpha, but somehow his treatment didn’t make me feel like he thought I was weak. It made me feel cherished.

Fuck, she’s perfect for us. A book nerd who loves to bake and is sexy as hell.

I felt like someone had reached into my body and ripped my insides out. Please, just kill me. “Can’t do that, baby girl.”

“I know what it’s like to be hurt by alphas and how scary it is to let go and trust. Those three out there have to earn your trust. I also know how easy it is to hold yourself back from something good out of fear… or because you don’t think you deserve it. You deserve goodness, Josie. I hope you’ll let yourself have it.”

I almost shouted, frantically looking around the room as if a How to Stop Fucking Things Up and Upsetting Your Omega You Dipshit manual would appear.

“What if I wanted to peruse the romance section of a bookstore all day?” “I’d peruse right along with you, but of course, I would also find all my favorite books and whisper the dirtiest parts in your ear all day long.” Until you were so wet, you begged me to bend you over the nearest book display and fuck you until you screamed.
