Page 274 of Omega for the Pack

“It’s not necessary,” I protested.

“You need to be able to afford your own place,” he said. “Don’t worry. Iwantto help you. It’s the least I could do for how we behaved with the game tonight. I’m sorry about that.”

“It’s okay,” I said, looking down.

“It’snotokay,” he said. “We behaved badly tonight with no intention of keeping you. I let my alpha rut hormones control me. We shouldn’t have teased you tonight. I had no idea you wanted to be our omega until Bruce asked you that question.”

“No, not anymore,” I said quickly. “I understand now fully. Don't worry.” I actually appreciated him apologizing to me. He wasn’tthatmuch of a monster.

“That’s all for now, it’s pretty late,” said Caleb. “Call me if you need anything, okay? I’ll check on you tomorrow in the afternoon or after I’m done with work.”

“Sounds good.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow,” said Caleb, lingering at the doorway, his eyes on my lips.

“See you,” I said softly. When he left the room, I bit my lower lip. My omega self wanted to wrap myself around him. To smell him again. Hug him tight and let him dominate every inch of me. I couldn’t let my mind go there. The darkest parts of me wanted that, but my rational brain wanted me to be successful and take advantage of the opportunity he gave me.

After I heard the front door closing, I sighed and looked at all my boxes.

I began pulling the stacked boxes down and organizing them against the wall, so I could access my things easier. Opening each of them, I dug through them until I could find a clean pair of pajamas and a towel. I wanted to shower and sleep so badly. Then I could daydream about my new job in bed.

The bathroom only had a bar soap in the shower and nothing else. I placed my toothbrush and accessories on the counter. Stripping off my dress and underwear, I hopped into the shower. The water ran cold for a while, which worried me, but eventually warmed up. I needed to buy shower supplies first thing as I used the bar soap. It was so warm and cozy in the shower that I took my sweet time in there, making sure I lathered every inch of my skin.

Wrapping the towel around my chest, I stared into the bathroom mirror as I combed out my long wet hair which was plastered down my face. Blow-drying my hair took forever, as I did that while thinking about my deal with Caleb. I was nervous but also confident that I could do it. I had to assess the living room first thing tomorrow morning to figure out the best style for it.

When I turned off the blow dryer, I heard a loud thud in the living room.

I froze, my heart pounding as I held the blow dryer out like a weapon.

“Who’s there?!” I shouted, my voice screechy with fear. No one should be here. It was late at night too. I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. The footsteps came directly down the hall and to my room. It was too late to shut the door as I stared daggers at the doorway, holding my towel tight around me.

Then I saw Bruce standing at the doorway, his gaze on me- slowly looking me up and down. He was wearing a white shirt with grey sweatpants.

“It’s just me, don’t freak out,” he said, smirking when he saw the blow dryer in my hands, which I carefully put down.

Letting out a long breath, I collapsed on the edge of the bed.

“You scared the shit out of me,” I said. “What are you doing here?”

“We all have keys to the house, but I’m sorry for coming without warning,” he said, walking into the room. “You weren’t answering your phone. Caleb told us the big news that you will be our designer.”

“Yeah, I was in the shower, and also it’s kind of late,” I said pointedly, staring at the clock on the nightstand. He could clearly see it was midnight and not a normal time for a social visit.

“I wanted to make sure you were okay,” he said, walking towards the boxes and glancing around my room. “Needed to make sure Caleb was treating you right.”

“It’s not too bad in here,” I said, suddenly conscious that I was completely naked under the towel. I kept my thighs together, so I didn’t tempt him with my scent. We had to keep things professional now.

I was their hired worker and nothing else.

But I knew he wasn’t over it when he looked at me. He wasn’t over the connection we had.

His eyes roamed over to the little box that had my vibrator, and I quickly shot up, running over to the box. As I ran, the towel dropped around my ankles, and I gasped, already five feet away from my towel.

Before I could run back for the towel on the ground, Bruce grasped my wrist.

“Hold on,” he said slowly, his eyes raking over my naked body. I quickly covered my pussy with my other hand, but he grabbed my other wrist, pulling it away.

“Bruce, no,” I said breathlessly, my heart pounding hard with desire. God knows how much this pack sexually teased me, and my pent-up horniness was going to be the cause of my demise. “We can’t.”
