“Sounds good,” I reply.
“There is one major thing we need to discuss. Unfortunately, and I don’t agree with this policy at all, but your insurance only covers Heat Haven if you already have a pack or go through selecting members at Heat Haven.”
Emmett and I already spoke about this. When he offered to pay, I wanted to cry, he told me it would be his pleasure. That he wants me to be comfortable above all else. It’s a new and exciting feeling to be so treasured by someone. I don’t take it lightly, and I hope my actions prove just how much Emmett means to me.
“I’ll be covering everything, Gloria,” Emmett says. I smile up at him and squeeze his hand.
“Wonderful, like I said. I don’t agree with the policy at all.”
“Seems pretty sexist,” I reply.
“Absolutely. Mr. Hampton. If you would like to go down the hall and to the left, Jill at the big white desk can help you get payment sorted.” Emmett looks at me to make sure I’m okay being left alone. I give him a reassuring nod as I follow Gloria to the elevator and head up to the nesting suites.
“Is there anything in particular you like in a nest? And how many partners will you have?”
“Four partners. I enjoy soft things, warm tones, and I enjoy the bed being on the floor.”
“We’ve actually opted to have beds that can be on the floor or risen in most of our suites. It seems like a pretty big divide in the Omega community.” I nod my head and follow Gloria to the first room.
As soon as she opens the door, I’m awestruck. “This is called midsummer night’s dream.” It’s gorgeous. They painted the walls a deep blue with glittering stars cast over the ceiling. There’s a massive circular bed on the floor with every shade of blue pillow and throw blanket I could think of.
Amazingly, the room is void of any scents as I walk deeper into the space. There’s a large shaped chaise that looks soft, but when I touch it, it’s actually leather.
“That piece has become quite the hit with the smaller Omegas who have large Alphas,” she says.
“Oh?” I ask questioningly, looking at the unsuspecting chair.
“They can sit down with their back supported and feet on the floor and it makes it easier”—she clears her throat—“for the Omega to ride them, and it’s far more comfortable than most positions when it comes to being knotted for extended periods of time.
“Oh, yeah. I can see how that would become popular.” I look around the room and a feeling of contentment fills me. I could easily see us all here. I would be happy here, as long as they’re all with me.
“If you don’t mind me asking how many male Alphas will be a part of your heat?” she asks.
“One.” As soon as I say it, I can see the surprise written on her face.
“Do you have toys to help aid in your relief, or would you like them to be purchased through Heat Haven?”
“I think we have that covered,” I reply and give her a small smile. She wasn’t judging, she’s just doing her job and making sure that the Omega she’s supporting has everything she needs.
“Wonderful. We have new, sterile toys in case any of your pack is in desperate need.” She holds out a hand to the bathroom. “Would you like to view the en suite?”
I nod my head, and she walks me into the magnificent bathroom. The tiles are all deep blue and line the floor and partially up the walls. The rest is painted the same shade as the nesting suite. There is a large square shower with tinted blue glass. All of us could fit in it with how large it is. And with how much space Dom takes up, that is saying something. Opposite of the shower is a massive tub built into the ground.
“We found that a lot of Alphas are quite exhausted after a certain time period of the heat. The sunken tub helps with carrying Omegas where they need to go.” She opens the drawers of the vanity. “The bathroom is fully stocked with any products you might need as well as hair care. However, if there are certain scents that you would prefer, we suggest packing them.” She hands me a list with boxes next to each item. “This is the suggested packing list for Omegas. The second page is for pack members.”
“This place is amazing,” I tell her.
“Isn’t it? I wish this were an option when I was younger,” she says.
“I’m sorry it wasn’t.”
“Me too, but I’m happy to help this generation. You all will have more time to choose the right pack for you. So many broken bonds and abuse have happened in the past because Omegas were forced to bond so early. It was either bond or be unprotected.”
“I’m sorry you went through that.”
She gives me her wide smile. “I’m one of the lucky ones. Still happily bonded with my three Alphas, but still. No Omega should be forced to bond sooner than she’s ready.” Gloria fucking gets it. But I have the opposite problem right now. I have so many people who are flooding my system that I don’t know how to handle it sometimes. How can I make all of these people happy? It’s exhausting, but I know it will be worth it. I just need to try harder.
I can’t help it when I reach out and gently squeeze her arm. “Thank you, Gloria.”
