They needed an omega to settle their violent instincts. That was it. I just happened to fit their requirements.
Even knowing that, my body wanted them. The ache between my legs wasn’t as bad as it had been the first day of my heat, but it was already starting to eat away at my logic and reason. I’d do anything—say anything to get one of them to fill me up right now.
The pain wasn’t as bad as I remembered, but still…
My skin felt like it was on fire and it was excruciating. Everywhere hurt except where Cas’s hand still held my neck.
My father was right. It was too easy to get addicted to alphas. Especially legacy alphas. Knowing what to say and do to turn us into this fucked up mess had to be genetic, because I was definitely not the first omega to experience this shit.
And my pheromones were just as cruel as theirs.
They had these two powerful alphas telling me whatever they wanted to hear to get a piece of them. They’d even pushed them to get back at Arturo for touching what they considered theirs.
My entire body shook as I tried to ignore the pain and desire. It was hard to breathe and I fought against the urge to beg and plead for them to fuck me again.
Starting this whole mess all over again was the last fucking thing I wanted.
I closed my eyes and wished I could be anything other than an omega.
Finding two alphas who could scent my pheromones wasn’t the cure everyone had been hoping for. It had only made things worse. Even now, I wanted all the things they promised me. I wanted it more than anything in the world and I fucking hated it.
I couldn’t let them take responsibility for me any more than they already had.
This wasn’t their fault. It was mine. My pheromones had made them just as fucking insane as me.
Cas grabbed Liam’s waist then and pulled him closer, forcing that bare chest closer to my face.
Every single shred of self-respect, determination, and willpower I had went right out the fucking window.
It was impossible to ignore the sounds they made while they kissed each other. It was so fucking erotic I was pretty sure I was going to hyperventilate if I couldn’t do something about the heat consuming my entire body.
My pheromones started to fill up the entire room until they were thick enough to choke on. I could finally smell them—smell how intense they were.
How needy.
I wanted to die of embarrassment. There was so much they could read in my scent.
Liam turned just enough, his lips nearly brushed against Cas’s. Not for the first time, I wished I could disappear while he looked into my eyes like this.
When he reached down I flinched, but the touch of his hand against my face was gentle.
His thumb brushed over my cheekbone and I stared up at him in disbelief.
“This feels like a dream,” he admitted softly. “The way I can run my hand through your hair, or feel your cheek against my palm. You make everything inside my head go quiet and I just can’t stop touching you.”
I tried to remind myself that all of this was nothing more than the obsession of an alpha exposed to an omega in heat. Once they detoxed, things would go back to normal and we’d be nothing more than strangers.
“You don’t want this,” I tried to tell him. “It’s just my pheromones making you feel like this, so please, tell me how to pull them back.”
“Why wouldn’t I want this?” Liam rubbed his thumb over my lower lip then and my entire body started trembling when he slipped it inside my mouth. “Having you between me and Cas – it’s the safest place you can be and the way you’re looking up at me now…was the way I kissed him too much for you?”
It was and it wasn’t. I needed more, but it didn’t feel like I just needed sex. There was something else I wanted from him, but I had no idea what it was.
He leaned down and rubbed his nose against my cheek. When he breathed me in, his entire body shuddered. I felt Cas press into my back then and I could feel just how fucking hard his dick was.
Cas inhaled sharply when Liam forced my mouth open wide, his thumb pressing down on my tongue and making the spit slide down my chin.
There was something about these alphas losing themselves in my scent that made me feel…
