"And we protect what is ours," Alfie added.

"I can't give you what you're looking for," she whispered.

"You already are, little omega." I lowered my voice as I leaned in. "What we needed most is you."

"I'm not much." She looked down shyly.

My finger forced her head up as I demanded, "Omega, look at me." She couldn't resist the demand of an alpha, and her eyes bolted to mine, locking our gazes. "You don't get to decide what we think is enough. Do you understand me? What you view as your flaws and insecurities, we view as your perfections. It's trueyou aren't like the omegas that the Omega Industries try to push upon alphas. But I am thankful I did not get the typical omega I signed up for. What a loss that would have been for us. Not when we could have had what we craved the whole time."

She bit her lip to stop its trembling. "And what is it you crave, my alpha?"

My alpha.

My already throbbing cock pulsed, begging me to claim her already. To show her just what it was that her alpha craved. Instead, my hand reached for her waist, pulling her body so close to my own that there wasn't an inch of space. There was no possible way my omega would doubt that I wanted her. She couldn't, with my length pushing and pulsing into her soft stomach.

I caressed her side, letting my fingers massage the soft skin of her hips. "What we crave, omega, is our lips against your skin. Our hands exploring every soft inch of your body. Our bodies meshing until you're writhing and begging us to show you just what an alpha can do for his omega. We crave to lose control, and you, omega, are the catalyst that will bring us to the brink of destruction as we savor every second of it."

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

SYDNEY

I'd been a quivering mess all day. Every time I looked at my alpha, or hell, even my beta and delta, my insides squeezed tight and I had to rub my thighs together. Catalyst. The way Luka's eyes burned when he said the words had my omega damn near throwing herself to her knees at his feet and begging him to take us. But he hadn't yet, and I wondered if his declaration of his desire was really spoken out of truth.

Except I had felt it. Felt the length of him long and hard against my stomach, begging for me to wrap my hand around him. If only I was brave enough to do so. But I wasn't. I was a coward when it came to the alpha. Afraid of disappointing a man who had lived a world of experiences while I spent years locked inside of a building.

As I watched them work from my corner in my alpha's office, I decided I needed to try. I needed to work harder for my alpha to want me. For them to want me. I was lucky. I couldn't have children, yet they refused to take me back to the OmegaIndustries. I should show them how much I appreciated what they had done for me.

As the day dragged on, I decided that was exactly what I would do. Starting tonight, at home, in our private space. Maybe we'd swim. Or watch a movie. Or maybe I could get Alfie to take out one of those board games he seemed to love so much and insist I play too, even though I didn't quite understand the rules. They all had been patient with me, and I knew they wouldn't mind teaching me.

"You okay, omega?" Felix asked as he leaned over my desk, brushing a strand of hair from my forehead.

"Perfect."

"Yes, you are." He gave me a beaming smile as he issued his compliment. "But I asked if you're okay. You're looking a little pale."

I waved him off. "I'm fine."

And I was, even though my skin felt tight and overheated. It had since this morning, but I attributed it to the way my alpha made my insides quiver with his single touch. The Omega Industries had taught me that sometimes the presence of the alpha could do that to their omega, and I had been locked in an office with him all day. Even with him keeping his distance, his mind focused on work, his scent still flooded me, reminding me of how good he would feel if we hadn't had the barrier of clothes between us.

"If you're sure." He exchanged a look with Luka. "Let's get you home, love."

I looked at the clock, shocked that I had somehow lost a whole day thinking and dreaming about what it would be like to be naked with these men. I should be ashamed. But there was something deep down that refused. My omega was bold in her wants and she had no problem lusting after them, so why couldn't I?

Lick him,she urged, and I rolled my eyes. I wouldn't lick my delta just because the girl was horny and longing for the slightest taste of their skin.

I placed my palm in Felix's offered hand and let him pull me up. While he helped me into my sweater, Luka stood and strolled over. "Omega. You've been quiet today."

"Just thinking." More like dreaming of what you looked like without pants, but honestly, when your alpha looks that fine, who could really blame a girl?

"About?"

"Swimming," I blurted out.

They way their eyes sparked, I doubted they believed me; still, they didn't call me out. "We could swim this evening. If you want."

Was swimming what I wanted? No. But would a nice dip in the water might cool off my throbbing, burning skin? I sure as hell hoped so. "Absolutely. I'd love that."

"Then it's done." Luka grabbed my handbag. "Alfie is picking up food and will meet us on the way home. Any requests, omega?"
