Quinlan was wrapped up in what seemed to be a continuous adventure. From the moment he set foot in Carnelia, his routine was shot. He had come across the alluring vampire January, whom he couldn't leave behind. Then, when he came back to tell the vampire as much, he was swept up by three werewolves as well. The gang then brought another vampire back home and, all of a sudden, they were six. Since when had he started referring to Pax's house as his home?
It was all a downright whirlwind, if the blue-eyed man was honest with himself. When Jany and Eli broke things down further to him, he was finally able to piece together what had happened back at that older vampire's mansion, that Viktor guy. Basically, the six of them were soulmates. But, vampires and werewolves supposedly never had each other as soulmates, and it was "bad" because their gods never got along. Elias had expressed his concern about his goddess burning January and Nolan to a crisp...which was quite reasonable, as Quin didn't want them to be burned to a crisp either! He was quite fond of Jany, and though he didn't know Nolan very well, he didn't want the poor thing to be destroyed, either.
So, half the gang was out searching for a way to keep the gods from fucking with their new family, even if it meant making deals with lecherous old vampires.
As the only human in the group, Quin should have been the most scared of them all, but he wasn't. After all his traveling and the many times he slept in tents surrounded by wildlife, the blond had formed his own personal connection with nature. He learned that a similar energy was found in all living beings; that even animals felt loneliness. But, most importantly, he learned not to judge...that getting to know others was time well spent. Quinlan lived his life with the firm hope that, should he die then and there, it would be with little to no regret.
That was why, when Nolan and Elias invited him to join them in that massive bed, the blond eagerly accepted.
Elias grinned and tugged Quinlan down to the pillows, hugging the human close and burying his face in Quin's neck. Quinlan had a feeling Eli was smelling him, which might have been weirder if the little redhead wasn't a wolf. Nolan sat next to them looking unsure of himself. He was leaning towards the other men, but held himself carefully still.
Quin snuggled right into the warmth, turning slightly to hold out a hand for Nolan to take. "Aren't you going to join the cuddle pile, Nono?" he asked, using the new nickname Eli came up with without even realizing it.
Quinlan quickly found himself with his arms full of Omega wolf and orange-eyed vampire. Each had their head resting on his chest, facing the other. Eli reached out, unable to keep himself from touching Nolan, tucking a lock of inky black hair behind the vampire's ear.
"Your hair's really soft," Elias said quietly.
"Master Pax gave me a very nice brush and Mateo told me I could use his shampoo and conditioner." Nolan gave a tiny smile. "I like it here...I like all of you." The vampire looked from Elias to Quinlan. "I like this."
The human let out a whimper of joy. "We like you, too," he replied. "Ain't that right, Eli?"
"So much," the Omega said, rubbing his fingertip up and down the bridge of Nolan's nose.
A warm, happy feeling spread from where Eli was touching both Nolan and Quin. The vampire closed his eyes, basking in it.
"How do you do that?" Nolan asked, eyes closed.
"Do what?" the Omega asked, still petting Nolan's nose.
"Ah, I think I know," Quin replied. "It's Eli's warm Omega magic."
"My what?" Elias giggled. "You mean my influence? Am I doing it right now? Should I stop? Do you mind it?"
"No, don't stop!" Both Quin and Nolan cried out at the same time.
