“I’m sorry we couldn’t save your daughter,” Ryder addressed my aunt.
“From what Lacy had said,” said Jade. “It sounded next to impossible at that time. I understand. Manny is trying to convince the Royal Pack to go after them since he’s their prince. But the government is reluctant to go after their own kind.”
“For right now, Olivia is doing okay,” I said, trying to soothe her a little. “Omegas are pampered over there. Lots of massages and food.”
“What if Olivia goes into heat at that place?” asked Manny with dread. His question made everyone stop chattering excitedly about my arrival. It was a looming cloud that hung over us, not something that I could forget easily.
“If the authorities don’t do anything after the information you gave them, we will have to step in,” said Ryder. “I’ll give you the exact location of the camp so you can let King Armon know.”
For the rest of that day, I talked with my mother and Gabe, catching up. We sat in the living room, away from the rest, and we talked about everything, including my attraction to my bodyguards. Aunt Jade had left early, and Manny was discussing things with my pack.
“They better find Olivia,” said my mom, leaning against the couch arm with a hand on her forehead. “I almost lost my mind when I saw you on the news.”
“I know, Mom,” I said.
“Mom didn’t sleep, and our dads had to force her to eat,” said Gabe.
“Oh my god, Mom,” I said.
“It’s okay now, baby,” she said, sighing and rubbing her face. She had new wrinkles on her face that I hadn’t seen before, and I hoped it wasn’t from me being kidnapped. “The government needs to do something about it, and I think you need cameras everywhere.”
“I know, Ryder won’t let that one go,” I said.
“Listen to your pack,” said Mom. “They will protect you to the ends of the earth for you. I believe that.”
“I know,” I said, my heart warming.
Thirty-Five
LACY
The next day- I woke up to Ryder kissing me on the cheek. We had all collapsed in my nesting room with all the feathers from the pillows still everywhere once everyone was gone. I curled up into the blankets tighter, trying to ignore him.
“Baby, it’s in the afternoon,” he whispered, tickling me with a feather on my cheek.
“That’s fine, we just got home,” I mumbled, turning my head to the other side, but he wrapped an arm around me, hugging me.
I was exhausted after my heat and everything I went through. My body felt heavy, and my legs felt like logs. Ryder’s arm around me made everything even more cozy, and I fell asleep again.
Snoring awake, I opened my eyes- horrified to find myself snoring. Something was going on between my legs, a rough tongue licking my clit. I looked down to see a smiling Ryder staring at me with his head between my legs.
“Are you finally awake, love?”
“Oh my god,” I groaned. “I am. But why are you licking my pussy? You know that’s creepy, right?”
“I love you,” he said simply.
“Ryder,” I said, trying to move his head out of the way with a weak hand, but he didn’t budge. My pussy throbbed, and that would probably explain the naughty dreams I’ve been having all morning. His tongue plunged inside me, and I moaned. “Ryder, I need…a shower.”
But he didn’t answer as he licked me repeatedly until I felt my belly clench. His grunts down there made me horny as fuck, as he pretty much ate breakfast from between my legs.
I clenched my thighs around his head, which didn’t dislodge his tongue from my pussy.
He licked my clit in a back-and-forth motion as his finger plunged into my pussy next. My breathing quickened as I felt the familiar tightening sensation. I moaned as slick dripped from my pussy. I collapsed back against the giant cushion, my legs spread wide open as he licked me clean.
“So good,” he said. “Thanks for feeding me.”
“No problem,” I said, blushing. He finally lifted his head from between my legs when he was done, squeezing my thighs. “Where’s everyone else?”
