Page 54 of Claiming Their Omega

I walk over to the front door and peer through the peephole.

There’s no one there, but there are several packages. Huh. Delivery.

“Deliveries!” I yell, opening the front door. It’s too small to be farm equipment, or at least I think it is, I’m sure some of the machines have smaller parts.

I get all the packages in and on the kitchen table, and that’s when I see it: they’re all addressed to me.

That’s odd. I didn’t order anything.

“What’s all this?” Hendrix asks as I hear the clomp of boots behind me.

All four men crowd around as I grab scissors and open the packages. “I don’t know, I didn’t order anything. Maybe my work sent me something, it could be they want me to work… remote…”

My voice trails off as I open the first package and see what’s inside. It’s a bright pink dildo, with an inflatable knot at the end. It’s clearly meant for Omegas.

I stare. I can feel the other men staring too.

“I—I didn’t order these,” I stutter out.

The other packages are all the same. Sex toys. Sex toys specifically for Omegas.

My face is on fire. I can feel all four men looking at me and I feel like I’m going to combust with the weight of their gazes.

“I, uh, I’m the one who got these,” Cade says gruffly. He’s flushed, and his scent is strong, filling my nose.

“What?” I squeak out. The other three Alphas stare at Cade like he’s lost his mind.

“Since we’re not going to, uh, help you learn how to explore your body, I thought that it might be helpful for you to know how to do it on your own. So I got you some toys. To help.”

I flush even harder, but my body goes stiff. “That’s—that’s very thoughtful, Cade, thank you.”

I don’t want to make him feel bad when he was clearly thinking of making my life easier. But there’s no way I’m using these toys.

The part that William didn’t bring up in our fight, the part that I was almost hoping he would so I could really get into a good fight with him, the secret I’ve kept all these years out of sheer embarrassment… is that I’ve never had sex.

I’m still a virgin.

It wasn’t something that had ever felt quite right with William and I never knew how to push myself past whatever feeling was holding me back. We did plenty of other stuff, but we hadn’t been together long enough for me to want to take that step with him—and considering how things ended, I’m eternally grateful that we never had sex.

I had thought it was sweet that an Alpha could be so respectful of my desire to go slow in that department, but of course, now I know better. It turns out he just went and got his rocks off in other places. No wonder he was so accommodating about not having sex with me. He was running around having sex with other women instead.

But as silly as it might seem, I want my first time having sex to be intimate. I don’t want it to be fumbling around with a toy. I asked Jesse to take my virginity all those years ago for a reason, and it wasn’t just because I had a wild crush on him. I’d known that as someone older, he would have experience. He’d make sure it wasn’t some horrible awkward embarrassment.

I’m not losing my virginity to a damn sex toy. Especially not when there are four Alphas staring at me with hunger in their eyes like they want to see me use the toys on myself right here on the kitchen table.

And boy, if that isn’t a fantasy. Maybe they could even use the toys on me…

I mentally slap myself. Knock it off, Grace, for the love of god.

“Seriously, Cade,” I say out loud. “It’s very sweet of you to think of me like that. I appreciate it, and I’m sorry I was such trouble last night. It won’t happen again.”

Then I take the toys up to my room and then stuff them in the back of the closet.

Out of sight, out of mind.
