Asano gestured at Rayth. "This idiot alpha is mine."

I blushed and stepped back. "Oh. I didn't mean..." Hurt welled up inside me. It stung like rejection.

"No, Zara, I mean, we're bonded." Asano stepped forward. "I was hoping he would make a good impression on you, not..."

Rayth gave me a winsome smile. "Hey, at least I'm not putting on a show."

Asano snorted, and he sounded so put out I laughed.

Okay, so not rejection.

"You see what I'm dealing with. Clearly I need reinforcements."

I laughed, and Rayth pouted. "Hey, I'm charming."

"When you want to be." Asano shot him a look. "I was hoping you would sweep Zara off her feet."

Rayth looked at me with heat again. "There's still plenty of time to make it up to her."

I shivered, and Asano's face warmed up too.

An image of the three of us, together in bed, rose up and I pushed it down. We were starting to get looks. I gestured at the balcony. "Come on, we're drawing a crowd."

As we reached the balcony, a man winked at Rayth, "Looking to add a beta?"

The man looked me over. "If I didn't need to lock down an omega first I'd be in your shoes."

Asano cleared his throat. "You're an idiot."

"Not enough omegas to go around," the man said with a shrug. "You're one of the lucky ones."

Rayth shook his head and pulled us out to the balcony.

Asano huffed. "This night is a disaster."

"Worked out great for me." I grinned.

Rayth leaned closer. "I was looking forward to winning."

His spicy sweet scent increased and I shivered. "Oh."

Asano gestured at the bench, and I took a seat. Instead of sitting next to each other, they sat on either side of me.

I swallowed hard and pressed my knees together. They were both close enough to almost but not quite touch my sides.

"When can I bring your first present?" Rayth's hand brushed my leg briefly before he propped his chin on his hand.

"First?" I swallowed hard, my mouth suddenly dry.

"Yes, pet. I intend on bringing you boxes of supplies for the foreseeable future. I was quite a jerk."

I swallowed hard and looked at Asano. "Soon?"

"Soon is good." Asano grinned at me. "I painted another seascape for you today."

I spent the rest of the night being slowly tortured by the two sexy men sandwiching me.

Priestess Deja found me at last. She looked shocked for a moment and then pressed her face into a pleasant look.
