I’m 100% down for that, especially if it involves Amiri taking charge like he usually does. I would love it if the pastor’s daughter could join but she’ll be in my bed soon enough.

I can feel it.

The mid-afternoon rush died down a little while ago, only a few stragglers popping up here and there so it’s going to be pretty quiet from here on out.

“Just one question, Sash. Why are you shirtless?”

I wondered how long it would take either of them to mention it. Twisting around, I catch the most beautiful sight, both of my Alphas leaning back slightly, their legs spread, thick bulges between them. My mouth waters at the sight, knowing exactly what I’m going to be eating for dinner. When Amiri clears his throat, I just shrug. “Sells more shit. Parker wasn’t happy that you two left me here, though. Thinks I’m not much by myself.”

“Then Parker can start sending his people here to sell his own shit.”

We share a collective laugh before I lean my head out of the booth to hopefully catch someone else looking for a few new toys to try. As long as they don’t pick the purple and green iridescent butt plug on the third shelf. That one’s calling my name.

Chapter four

CAMILA

I’m fully stuffed on sugar and popcorn, Zana demanding that we find at least one green food. Ethan immediately made a beeline for the slushies but was quickly guided to the burger cart which had lettuce. I wave my hands, too stuffed to eat another bite without spoiling dinner. If I eat nothing at the church’s get-together later, my father will have a few choice words that I’d rather avoid.

“I can’t eat another bite,” I mumble, looking around the fairgrounds to see if there’s anything else I want to visit. The plan was for my brother and his mates to have an afternoon of fun while I saddled up with my friends. The ones from college are a few states over so all I have here is a few from the church. After seeing Penelope, though, I didn’t really feel like finding the others. Violet and Sofie definitely don’t know anything about Teo’s newest relationship or they would have told me.

I checked my phone but once I realized it was dead, I decided not to go on a manhunt to see if they were lingering somewhere lest I run into Teo. Chloe, on the other hand, I’m not so sure what she knows. Penelope is her bestie, we’re just the afterthoughts. Seeing as I’ll see all of them soon anyway, I decided to enjoy myself for a little longer. “Sorry for crashing your date,” I mumble.

Reid chuckles, throwing an arm over my shoulder. “You’re not all that bad to hang out with, Mila. Zana and I are both only children so it’s nice having someone to talk to. Betas gotta stick together.” I manage a smile before shimmying away, wandering until I see an 18+ sign. My father has always preached that this part of the fair is off-limits, holding depraved stalls that will only drag us into sin.

I know better now. I also know that somewhere back there, Kolsen and Amiri are manning a stall. Just the overwhelming memory of their presence has me backing away. Maybe I’ll bring it up when I catch Amiri at the café again.

Or I’ll just chalk this day up to a wonderful memory and check off ‘kissed a stranger’ on my list.

“You stay hidden pretty well, Camila.”

I whip around and narrow my gaze at Teo. Penelope is nowhere to be found and I’m not sure if that makes this moment better. “Did you need something? You have my phone number. It works just fine.” Not that I would have picked up. My phone’s dead.

He snorts. “Would you have picked up? No, look, I didn’t come to fight with you.” Teo throws his hands up but that makes him seem almost more threatening. “I saw what you did back there. Why didn’t you tell me that’s what you needed? A little more force and manhandling? You said you didn’t want to submit but I just needed to be a little more demanding, right?” Teo steps forward and I retreat, confused and a little scared. “Is this part of the game? Is this what you need?”

“What are you talking about?” I spit out, holding my hands out to keep Teo from coming too close. He’s not deterred, walking me back into one of the barriers along the edge of the fair. “Teo… Teo!” I shuffle through the last several hours, wondering what the fuck he is referring to when I realize he’s jealous of Kolsen. A stranger. A man that I have every right to kiss because Teo and I aren’t dating. I slap at his chest. When that does nothing but spur him on, I lean my head back against the barrier before throwing a knee up between his thighs.

He stumbles back, groaning and holding his cock as I stand there, pissed that he was going to try something with me. “What the fuck?”

“First off, we’re not dating. You’re not allowed to be jealous after you asked me to be your pack Beta. Not your Beta, the Beta for your pack. Second? And most importantly, you know I don’t like it like that.” I smooth down my dress before fisting my hands at my sides lest I deal out more violence. Teo deserves it but not here. There’s too many people and Teo will try to spin this into something that gets me in trouble. Even if only a few people are lingering this far back, I don’t want to chance it.

Teo grunts, still bent in half. “I know for a fact that you do like it like that, Camila. You’ve shown me that diary of yours, remember?”

I still regret that. I regret that I ever found Teo trustworthy enough to share a piece of my heart with him. The things I’ve fantasized about touch on a few items on the list I currently have in my purse. I just haven’t been able to find someone I trust enough to try them out with. Teo made fun of me for my desires—the desire to be watched or to watch, the desire to play with more than just hands and lips and cocks, and the desire to be fully consumed by men as they take me apart.

I huff out a breath as Teo straightens up, a pained expression on his face. At the same time, I step away from the barrier so that Teo can’t try that shit again. “Yes, Teo, I have a few desires that I would love to indulge. Desires that I’m more than capable of indulging now that you and I aren’t dating. But you know what I was talking about. I don’t like being forced or being handled roughly.”

It’s why I was so surprised by Kolsen’s fingers wrapped around my wrist. The grip was firm but not painful. It was a controlled strength that had me wondering how much farther that control extended.

“Your loss,” he pushes out. “Just make sure you’re at the church soon. You know you’ll get in trouble if you’re late. Besides, I have an announcement.”

Teo leaves as if he didn’t just attack me and I make my way back to Reid. I shake my head, not wanting to rehash what just happened. As much as I love my brother’s Beta, he doesn’t need to know everything about my failed love life. The ride to the church is silent as I stare out the window, confused by my attraction and worried about Teo’s announcement. Whatever comes out of that Alpha’s mouth in front of all our parents and friends is going to be nothing less than a disaster.

“You going to be okay, sis?” I turn to look at Reid who offered to drive as I come back to my senses. Ethan is sprawled out in the back seat in a sugar coma, his head in Zana’s lap as she runs her fingers through his hair. “Hey, I don’t know what happened before we left but I can tell that you’re a little shaken. You need some backup?”

“My father would run you off so fast. No, I’m okay. It’s just more food.” I’m all peopled out at this point but if any of the occupants of this car attend, I won’t hear the end of it. Ethan hasn’t spoken to our father since his wedding to Zana, one that our father refused to attend. They see each other in passing but the only connection between them is me. They hardly ask about each other and Ethan is just happy to see me when I visit or attend events with them in my free time.

I give them all a small wave before slipping out of the car and dashing around the back of the church. Several white tables with plastic white tablecloths are set up, loads of food piled on top, chatter spread across the church lawn. It’s a different feel to the fair, more stringent, less cheer, and no mysteriously beautiful Alphas waiting for a $5 kiss.
