“Breakfast is ready. Why don’t you take a seat while I let them know?” Cillian asks as he heads for the door.

In the center of the table is a platter of eggs, that must be the omelets, seasoned and topped with cheese, while a large plate of thick bacon and sliced bread sits on either side. He’s also put another cup of tea out for me to enjoy. As soon as I sit down and take a sip, Aldair and Cillian come in through the door. They both have shirts on, and I can’t help but pout. My disappointment only worsens when Ky doesn’t join us.

“Ky needed to finish some things outside,” Aldair says as he takes the seat next to me. “We’ll make sure to save him a plate.” I wonder if he senses my desire to wait for Kylan, and that's why Aldair said that.

I’m aware that they both know something happened between Kylan and I last night, and then again this morning. Even if their youngest brother hasn’t said anything, they’re Alphas. They would have scented…well, everything. I hope they don’t think I favor Ky over them.

If they are jealous, neither of them brings it up, as Cillian grins at me like the cat that caught the canary, and he piles my plate full of food. It looks amazing, and the smell is making my mouth water.

“Thank you,” I say with a shy smile. I like that I don’t even have to ask them to fill my plate, almost as much as they fill theirs. And I never have to ask for seconds or even thirds. If they aren’t offering it, they’re already serving me more.

“Nothing brings me more joy than feeding you, Goldie. Watching you slide my food between your lips before you moan in pleasure, is the highlight of my day, and night.” Cillian sends a salacious grin my way, as Aldair glares at his brother. Meanwhile, my mouth pops open on a gasp, and I can feel my cheeks heating. There’s no mistaking his words for anything other than a sexual innuendo. I’m not completely oblivious, I’ve heard the women of my village gossip, but this? Cillian saying such filthy things while smiling at me as if he’s innocent, is more than I think I can handle.

“Cillian–” Aldair hisses, but I can’t help it, and I burst into a fit of giggles.

“I can’t believe you just said that!” I gasp, eyes wide, as I flick a tiny bit of egg at the naughty Alpha. “Bad boy, very naughty,” I scold, as the giggles continue. Both men chuckle, enjoying my outburst.

“I can show you my bad side, if you like,” Cillian offers with a wink, making the giggles worse. “Ky certainly showed you his, hmm?”

“Cillian!” I gasp, eyes wide, mouth once again hanging open. “It’s very impolite to call a lady out like that at the breakfast table.” I shake my head, returning to my food, and pretending to be cross with him. Cillian pouts.

“Oh, I thought we were just teasing, I didn’t mean to upset you…” Cillian trails off as his frown deepens. It only gets worse until Aldair lets out a full belly laugh.

“She’s messing with you, Cill,” Aldair says with a shake of his head, as he stuffs one more piece of egg into his mouth and then rises. Cillian’s frown morphs into a grin, as he narrows his gray eyes on me, mouthing, ‘little vixen.’ “You two behave today,” Dair’s tone is serious, but the smile on his lips softens his delivery, but it still makes me shiver. I think I like the way he commands me…

“No promises,” I tease, making the large Alpha grunt.

“We have a bit of a walk before we get to the spot I want to take you to swim today. Why don’t you get ready and put on your shoes while I grab some towels and pack a small picnic for us to take.” His smile is infectious as he bounces out of his seat.

“I’m telling you, it’ll be too cold to swim…” I tease as he moves around the kitchen with a leather bag, collecting a small loaf of bread and some other treats. I shake my head with a laugh as Aldair takes my plate.

“Indulge him. I’ll take care of the dishes,” he leans in close, adding. “It’s okay to let go and have fun. To enjoy yourself…and Cillian.” As he steps away, his scent washes over me, and I breathe in deeply. I’m suddenly very eager to go on this adventure with Cillian.

Chapter Fifteen

Goldie

I’m panting heavily, my heart racing as I groan loudly.

“Fuck, Goldie,” Cillian grunts, and I close my eyes, needing a moment to compose myself.

“This isn’t what I was expecting,” I whisper, and Cillian chuckles.

“I said you should think of this as an adventure,” he teases, as my eyes pop open, and I stick my tongue out at him.

“I didn’t realize you meant we’d be mountain climbing!” I hiss, only making the Alpha’s smile wider.

“It’s not too much further,” he adds gently, but I’m bent over at the waist, with my hands resting on my knees, so my glare isn’t as intimidating as I would like. “Alright then, sassy little Omega, come on.” Cillian scoops me up, and tosses me over his shoulder, his thick arm wrapped around my thighs, the palm of one of his hands is gripping me tightly to keep me in place.

I yelp, wiggling in his hold. “Cillian! You Alpha beast, unhand me!” I protest, earning a smack of his palm against my behind. This effectively shuts me right up. Cillian just spanked me. Moments later, when my mind has caught up with me, I whisper, “A spanking?”

“Just a playful pat,” Cillian corrects, as he carries all our things for this little outing in a leather bag on his back and me. He’s so strong. And he smells so good. His cracked pepper and sandalwood scent is heavy in the air, making my throat dry. I want to lick the salt from his skin. Bury my face in his neck where the smell is strongest and breathe him in.

I shake myself out of the daydream, as a low growl rumbles in Cillian’s throat.

“Where has your mind gone, Little Omega?” His voice is rough with the growl, sending sparks of desire rushing through my veins. I don’t answer. I can’t. I’m too embarrassed. “I should leave you up there until you answer, but we’ve made it to our destination.” Cillian sets me on my feet gently, and I spin around quickly, trying to hide from him.

All my embarrassment vanishes, as I take in the sight before me. The waterfall leads to a large body of water, with soft pebbles and stones that disappear below the crystal blue surface. The sun is high in the sky, and Cillian was correct about the day heating up. As soon as we started on our walk, the temperature was already high enough to have me sweating.
