A new heart rushed through my body, at least more pleasurable thanthat ofmy running as I kept pace. Ididn’tplan on stopping until I was exhausted and my muscles ached.IfI went to worktomorrowI would be useless, but itdidn’tmatter.
Once I was done here, a lot more decisions needed to be made. And soon.
Though Demetrimight’vethought he had all the time in the world and was our alpha head with a duty to keep us together– I sure as hellwasn'tgoing to be so stubborn as to let Ella walk away and tear us apart.
So long as she would have us.
Movement caught my eye in the mirrors. A gasp sounded by the stairs.
I hit the emergency stop on the treadmill and turned around to face who it was.
“I’msorry. Ihadn’tbeen down here yet.The door was proppedopen.”Ella cut herself off in explanation as her eyes skimmed down my frame.
It was good to knowfor surethat Iwasn’tthe only one out of the two of uswho wasaffected by the other.
All I wanted now was to walk across the room, slide her down to the mats, and see if she tasted as good as she smelled right now assheshifted from one leg to the other, trying to hide her desire that was plain as day when she looked at me.
The corner of my lips curled at the thoughts ofall the thingsI could do to her.Ifshe let us keep her.The matter was already decidedin my head, butshe—she had the final say.
But today wasn’t the day that was going to happen officially and I wasn’t as stupid as some of the others to recognize that it was going to take the little omega time.
Especially right now when itwasn’tonly desire that lingered in her expression. In the way, she stood and held herself as if preparing to bolt at any second.
“I can go,” she added.
“No.” I stepped forward.
No. Therewasn’tjust desire inher,or curiosity of what we could get up to down hereallalone this time.
Our omega was restless.

“Iwas just— Cal and I finished the movie and were going to go to bed. But I…”
“What do you need?”asked Marko.
I shook my head, not wanting to say.
From the flush I had in the mirror, I wasprettysure it was obvious what Ineededwhether or not I wanted to admit it aloud.
“It looks like you either need to either be fucked or fucked something up, little omega,”the largest of the pack said in all seriousness.
I almost wanted to laugh. Iwould’veif Ididn'tfeel so damn helpless.Leaveit to Marko to say it plain as day.Ikind ofappreciated that about him, even if it made me want to go up tointoflames right now.
“Which is it going to be?”He goaded.
“I…”I looked at him, unable to stop my eyes from the way they scanned his form up and down and then once more. There was just so much to take in.
And my omega surewasn’tgoing to deny herself this pleasure.
I was starting to worry that I was becoming more swayed than ever by myomega’slogic, trilling inside the back of my headconstantly.
