Book 1: Chapter 35

*** Noah’s POV ***



It was hard watching her. Solaris was cleaning a table after going over the whole bar three times now. I was getting a twitch in my eye just watching her. Finn was doing inventory since it was his week to do it before we made a full order. She had woken up this morning fairly weak, needing a massage to get her leg and arm moving. All this cleaning was just out of fear that if she stopped, so would her body.

“Sol, stop. Seriously. It’s clean. For the third time.”

Her eyes met mine and at first I could tell she was irritated but they softened to understanding.

“Sorry, I…”

I smiled at her, shaking my head. “I get it, you don’t need to explain. But if you over compensate and overdo it, it will only be worse tomorrow.” I held up the glass I was wiping down. “Dishes are done if you want to help me.”

Solaris gave me one of her wry smiles before heading around the bar where I was leaning. We had a dishwasher behind the bar and I had the door down, wiping off any spots that were still present from the load not drying completely. She grabbed a towel and started to help, leaning against the back counter like I was. We were quiet while we worked, putting the specific glasses away once we had dried them off.

I leaned over to move glasses around when there was a crack of a towel and my thigh started to sting. Turning my head, my eyes met Solaris, who was giggling as she was twirling her towel around for another whip.

“Excuse me, ma’am…”

Before I could even stand up, she whipped me again in the ass this time. Shaking my head, grabbed the towel from her and she growled.

“Don’t you dare, Noah!”

“Don’t I dare? You just snapped me twice. You think you can just get away with that, Alpha?”

She laughed as I reached out and grabbed her hips. “Yes?”

I hummed. “Not how this works, sweetheart.”

Lifting her up, I placed her on the bar. One of my hands left her hips and I grabbed her chin, pulling it down so I could kiss her. She kissed me back and I savored her taste. Kissing Solaris wasn’t the same as kissing Finn. Outside the power he put into his kisses, there weren’t the explosive sparks that we had as mates. However, sometimes it felt like too much. Finn and I would brush against each other and it was like a nuclear bomb went off. It was overwhelming if you weren’t prepared and Solaris was like a rush of cool water.

My hand that had grabbed her chin snaked into her hair and I kept her close, enjoying the slight sweetness of the fruit she had eaten earlier in the day. She also smelled like the lemon wood oil she had been using to clean the tables. Biting her lip, Solaris finally leaned back, breathing heavily. Smirking, I looked her in the eyes.

“Don’t think I’m done with you. I know you and Finn fooled around while I was gone a while ago. You know how much that pisses me off. Especially when I end up with a boner in the middle of a fucking meeting.”

Snorting, Solaris tried to wiggle out of my grasp but grabbed her thighs, spreading her legs. Her smirk turned to shock as she tried to get out of my grasp. “Noah, no. We have to open…and…”

“We open in an hour. That’s plenty of time.”

Hooking my hands in her little jeans shorts she liked to wear, I slid them off her. Solaris hissed as her ass hit the cold bar wood but I just tossed the offending material away, which also happened to include her red lace underwear as well. My eyes zeroed in on my prize and I cupped her ass, pulling her closer to the edge of the bar. Nestling my head between her thighs, I licked her cunt. Sending both a shiver and a moan through her. It made me smile as she leaned back, her metal arm doing the heavy lifting as she gripped the other edge of the bar.

Licking her clit with my tongue flat, she continued to moan. Sucking slightly, I let my tongue dip into her opening, tasting just how wet she was. Flicking my tongue over her entrance, I grabbed her thighs tighter as she started to squirm more.

“Noah…” Her breathy call spurred me on more.

Looking up, I enjoyed the look of pure bliss on her face as I inserted my tongue and sucked her clit. My eyes caught Finn who was smirking as he walked around the bar behind Solaris. She hadn’t noticed him as her eyes were closed, head back. He stood behind her, dipping her head further back and capturing her lips. Her moans were quieted as they kissed and I refocused on the task at hand.

Nipping at her thighs and lips, I wet my fingers with her juices before inserting two of them into her. Scissoring them, feeling and exploring the inside of her. As though I didn’t know her, as though Finn and I hadn’t explored her over and over again. Finding the specific spots that made her moan, made her cry, made her scream. We both to pleasure in being the undoing of our Alpha. Showing Solaris the love and affection, the passion and desire that she deserved. 

She told us a long time ago she would refuse to be with her mate. There was such sadness in her eyes. It was a while before she give us a little information about what was going, not wanting to destroy him with her death. Even if they could love each other for a short amount of time, it wasn’t worth it to her. I always thought there was more to it than that but I could understand not wanting to drive your mate insane. Solaris had to be mature about the decisions she made because she knew she wouldn’t make it to her thirties. Finn and I decided that not only was it not fair for her not to go through what she already had at the hands of the Hunters but also to have to be alone for the rest of her life as well. We were connected to her already and it was an easy decision to bring her between us in the bed as well.

Inserting another finger, stretching her and stroking her from the inside, Solaris writhed under out touch. Finn was peppering her neck and shoulder between hungry kisses and bites on her lips. His hands had also pulled up her shirt, fondling her breasts as he gave each nipple attention as well. Solaris arched her back, her eyes rolling back as I kissed and licked her clit. I let out a deep guttural growl, one that vibrated through my tongue and fingers. It was her undoing as she cried out, sucking my fingers in even deeper and tightening around them. She came hard, shuttering as her head fell back onto Finns shoulder. A smile was firmly planted on face.

I let her ride out her orgasm, still pumping my fingers and sucking on her clit until her body slumped down against the bar. Leaning back, I smiled at Finn who was rubbing her sides as she was putting her weight against him.

“How dare you get started without me.”

I chuckled. “Payback. For fucking her without me.”

Finn was grinning like a madman. “Then where is my payback for your times?” He hummed, his eyebrow raising up.

Shaking me head, I pulled a clean towel from under the bar where I was squatting and proceeded to clean up Solaris. She shook a little and moaned, still sensitive. Once I was done, I grabbed her underwear and shorts, shimmying them up her legs but she would need to pull them up over her ass when she could move. Finn moved from behind her and came around bar. I started to get up from where I was squatting but he placed his hand on my head, stopping me.

“What am I supposed to do about this now?” Finn waved his hand in front of his pants.

I could see the hard outline of his dick pressed against his pants. It was definitely straining hard, almost to the point of being able to see the zipper behind the cover of his jeans. My eyebrow rose as I looked up at him.

“I think that’s a job for your best friend, Mr. Right.”

“Oh?”

Nodding at him even though he was still holding me down. “Mr. Right Hand.”

Solaris snorted as she sat up from her lean on the bar. Finn shook his head, clicking his tongue. His fingers curled into my hair and held me tight. My eyes flittered between his hard-on and his face. As he stood over me, the sparks racing between us, I couldn’t help but wet my lips. Finn noticed and smirked.

“Take it, Noah. Take it like I know you want it.”

I could have been snarky and said no. But the sparks flying between us and the sounds of Solaris as I ate her our made me incredibly turned on and horny. In seconds my hands nimbly undid Finn’s jeans, pulling them down to his ankles along with his briefs. I was the boxer guy, Finn liked his briefs. His cock stood to attention, waiting and begging me to touch it. Smiling, I cupped his balls and massaged them ever so slightly. Enough for Finn to lean his head back. Then I licked my lips again before running my tongue up and down his shaft. He was big. The biggest I had ever seen, coming with his large physique and his washboard abs.

Finn moaned as I wet his dick, paying special attention to the head and swirling my tongue around his tip. Then, I took him in my mouth. He groaned, his grip tightening even more in my hair. My eyes looked up at his face, tossed back as with his eyes shut. I took in as much of his dick as I could. Flittering to Solaris, she was watching us, eyes bright, her fingers working their magic on her already swollen clit. She got off seeing us as much as we loved fucking her.

My rhythm was too slow for Finn. With the tight grip, he started to pound into my throat. I’ll be the first to admit, Solaris was better at giving head than I was, her gag reflex nearly non-existent. But the mate bond, the sparks, were something else entirely. They raged through us. Igniting the fire, exploding between the two of us. I craved him, every inch and every bead of his own salty mix. Relaxing further, I let Finn have his way with my mouth. Only adding to his pleasure with my tongue and hollowing out my cheeks, sucking him harder. His moans turned ragged as his movements turned more erratic.

“Sol, I need to hear you come; loud.” Finn growled.

My eyes glanced over again and she was writhing, her pace matching Finn’s. If my whole mouth wasn’t eat cock, I would have smiled. But she was still sensitive and it only heightened the pleasure she was giving herself.

“Oh fuck. Oh fuck!” Solaris threw her head back, her muscles tightening.

Finn responded, cursing as his dick slammed all the way to the back and slightly down my throat. Tears sprung to my eyes but I licked him like it was my last meal. Sucked him like this was the only chance I would get. He came, his seed shooting down my throat just as Solaris cried out. Milking him dry, I swallowed every bit, feeling the utter satisfaction that came with making them both come at my mercy. My hair was finally let go and Finn’s cock made a popping sound as he pulled out of my mouth. Smiling up at him, I raised my eyebrow as he looked down at me.

“What am I supposed to do about this?” I waved my hand down in front of my own incredibly stiff dick. 

He smirked. “Maybe you and Mr. Right can have a conference? Sol and I need to open.”

We both looked at Solaris, our Alpha, spread out over the bar. She was laying down now, covered in a sheen of post sex sweat. Her chest rose and fell, her eyes closed.

“I’m gonna…need a minute…”

I laughed and shook my head. Getting up and brushing off my pants, I sighed as I readjusted myself. “You two owe me, big time.”

Solaris hummed and Finn chuckled, leaning in and capturing my lips in a fiery way. It made the adjustment I just made useless.

“You got it. For now though, we need to help our Alpha off the bar.”

I nodded as Finn zipped himself up before picking up Solaris bridal style. She was mumbling incoherently as her head fell against his chest. He carried her up the stairs and I quickly sprayed down the bar, wiping it completely clean. The shower turned on upstairs and a girlish screech resounded through the building. It made me chuckle. Finn probably threw her in the shower with it fully cold. His smirk as he came down the stairs was confirmation enough. Coming up behind me, his hand reached forward and grabbed my dick through my pants.

“You gonna be okay tonight?”

I growled. “I will if you stop doing that.”

Finn chuckled and gave me a peck on the cheek before washing his hands and helping putting the final glasses away.

“You think she will be okay?” I didn’t look at Finn as I asked.

“I don’t know. Hopefully at the very least we distracted her enough to not be in her head about it.”

My hand stopped, staring down at the towel I was rubbing the bar with. “What are we going to do, Finn?”

“What we can with the time we have left. Help her as best as we can. We can’t lose her before we need have to. If that means we suck it up, then so be it.”

I looked up at Finn but his back was turned, putting up some of the glasses on the shelf. Looking back down at the towel, I continued the cleaning until it was time to open.
