“What the fuck are you doing?!” Will’s voice is like a slap to the face, breaking me out of some kind of trance.

Scrambling to get to my feet, I use my clean hand to wipe the wetness from my face.

“I... She... Fuck!” I curse. I don’t regret what we did, not at all. But there are consequences I didn’t think of until now, like how her perfume fills the room, thick and suffocating, in the sweetest of ways. It’s too strong to just be from being aroused or from sex.

“You really did it now!” Will snarls, waving his hand toward the Omega, who looks like she’s drunk from her climax. “I swear to God, you better not have fucking triggered her heat! Nick is going to kill us.”

Shit!

Shit, shit, shit. I fucked up. I fucked up big time.

Chapter 4

Nova

Ian’s panicked filled eyes snap my way. “Nova, are you okay?”

Am I okay? Fuck no, I’m not okay. I just let some strange Alpha eat my pussy like it was his life's mission.

Did I cum so hard that I saw stars and nearly drowned my man with my slick in the process? Sure, but the fact still stands –he’s an Alpha.

Fuck me and my damn Omega hormones. Fuck him for being my scent match. Fuck this damn pull between us, that has all logic leaving my pheromone filled brain.

And fuck the damn heat spike that had me giving in to evil. That's what they are, evil, stupid, sexy Alphas. Damn it.

No, not sexy. Bad; they're bad, Nova. Stay away.

Easier said than done, seeing how I know for a fact that my heat is going to hit any day now. I can feel it in every cell in my body.

I’m trying not to panic, but the fear that I’m going to end up being in such a vulnerable state with three criminals has me spiraling on the inside.

Doesn’t matter if they're my scent matches. I know nothing about these men aside from the fact that they steal for a living.

And I sure as fuck don’t belive they’ve never killed anyone before. Isn’t that what a killer would want you to think?

“Relax,” I scoff, rolling my eyes as I hop off the sink. My knees nearly give out, but I bite the inside of my cheek, determined not to show that any of this has an effect on me.

Grabbing the towel off the floor, I wrap it around my body, shielding myself from the two sets of eyes.

“It was nothing. I was horny, you had a mouth that was eager to service me. Thanks for that by the way.” I wink, patting him on the shoulder as I pass. He gapes at me in shock.

Pausing in front of Will, I raise a brow. “You gonna go rat on your brother like a little bitch?” I ask.

Listen, I know it’s probably not a good idea to push my luck with these men. I truly have no idea what they’re capable of. But I’m spiraling inside, on the verge of a breakdown and when I’m stressed, or feel backed into a corner, the filter comes off and well, let’s just say it’s gotten me into trouble more than one time.

“Excuse me?” Will’s brow jumps.

“Are you gonna go run and tell big brother, Nick, that your little brother was just having some fun? Are you going to get him in trouble for it?”

“He’s not supposed to touch you.” Will’s eyes harden as he glares down at me. Damn him for being so good looking. My fingers itch to reach up and pull at one of his red curls. And those freckles, hell, they’re so pretty.Why do I want to count them all?

Then there’s his eyes, his emerald eyes that I could get lost in.

Will grunts while Ian groans behind me. Fuck, my perfume. Damn it.Can’t even have impure thoughts about people without being caught.

Clearing my throat, I stand tall, as if I’m not shorter than him by a good foot and dressed only in a towel.

“This is my body. I can do with it whatever I damn well please.” I step closer. “If I want your brother's mouth between my legs like a good Alpha, then that’s where it's going to be.”
