Page 110 of Omega Sanctuary

I picked up my satchel. I promised I would bring some flowers from the inner gardens. "I've done it before."

"Aalina lets you leave the Sanctuary by yourself." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "When Yvenna could be anywhere."

"This place is crawling with the Royal Army. And Asano's estate has private security."

I paused. Nikki seemed more...worried than annoyed. Glee bubbled up inside me.

"I'm coming with you."

I blushed. Nikki, with me. With Asano. Sparks of lust dancing through me. "I was going to spend the afternoon there."

"I'll leave you alone once you're there, but I'm not letting you traipse around by yourself."

"Suit yourself." I pretended nonchalance, but my core pulsed, and walking was an exercise in torture. We took a small carriage. His energy bounced around the small space, and I asked him about the books he was reading to keep myself focused.

He sat across from me on the bench, and we were inches away. We arrived at Asano's estate too soon, or not soon enough. I couldn't tell. He helped me out of the carriage as Asano opened the door.

Asano paused and then grinned. "Good afternoon."

Nikki looked between me and Asano a few times. He frowned. "He's an omega."

"Indeed I am." Asano grinned. "And you're an alpha."

I shivered as the two men studied each other, energy crackling around us. I was about two seconds from grabbing both of them and dragging them inside.

Nikki was still frowning. "He can't do anything for you, he's an omega."

I straightened up. "I'm quite satisfied when I'm in his bed, thank you very much."

Asano, instead of being offended, stepped up and wrapped an arm around my waist. "She still needs an unbonded alpha, you're correct."

I frowned at Asano. "You're enough for me. What is with every man thinking he's not enough just because he's not an alpha?"

"I know, love, but still." Asano gave Nikki a heated look. "You must admit there's nothing like being knotted."

Oh. I was slow. "Uhh, yeah." My vision snagged on Nikki's boots, black and polished and high enough to hit his knees. I'd dreamed about crawling into his lap and feeling him hard through his tight pants.

Nikki cleared his throat. "I just didn't see why she would cancel training to..."

Asano grinned. "Oh please, come in. We are helpless omegas who are in dire need of your knot."

Nikki huffed, but his skin flushed. "I'll see you in a few hours, Zara. Don't leave the estate without me."

Nikki stalked back to the carriage. I followed Asano inside.

"Is that who you think about when I ask you about alphas?" Asano pressed me against the door, sliding his hands over my thighs.

"Yes," I said, breathless. The room spun around me. "He doesn't like me."

"He doesn't have to like you to want to bury his knot inside you."

I groaned at the thought. Asano cupped my butt and lifted me up, pressing me against the door. He kissed down my neck, scraping his teeth.

I grabbed the back of his head, pulling him against me. "Don't think you're not enough."

I was so wet, I wouldn't have thought I'd just spent the night with Asano. He unbuckled his pants and moved my skirts in short order.

"I know." Asano nibbled my neck, rubbing himself against my entrance. "But your prince was reassuring himself you still needed him."
