Fucking no.I calm down the inner alpha screaming all the wrong things at me. Whether she takes heat suppressants or not isn’t for me to decide, obviously. But her slick feels so right on my hand, and her walls clamping down on my fingers made me wish they were my cock instead.
I withdraw my hands from her and lick one finger. She watches me with dilated eyes. “Good idea.”
God dammit, she does taste like honey and strawberry candy.
Mia’s gaze shoots down to my very prominent, very obvious hard cock. “Do you want me to—I mean, it’d be fair.”
I shake my head and withdraw entirely from the bed. “No. This was about you. If your heat flares again and you need us, we’re right down the hall. Please, just tell us.”
Mia looks slightly more confident about it now. But hesitation still hangs in the air, understandable and also felt in me. “Okay, thank you.”
“Goodnight, Mia.”
“Night, Leo.”
And then I do the hardest thing in my life in years: I leave the room. I say nothing else, I just leave. Because right now I’m so torn.
Her being not just an omega, but one in heatandscent matched, definitely makes everything about this Exit Fate opportunity much more complicated.
But it makes everything soright, too.
I go back to the bathroom as quietly as I can and slowly, as quietly as possible, pull my cock from my jeans and get myself off. I stroke slowly, drawing out this pleasure with the hand that pleasured Mia. I pretend it’s her hands. Her mouth. Her puckered lips.
I cum so hard I nearly lose vision.
Fuck, this is so complicated now.
ChapterSeven
MIA
I only sleepfor a few hours before I’m awake again in a way I can’t explain. My entire body feelsalive. It’s nerves and my heat, yes, but also a constant thrumming within me that has me purring and wanting to curl right back up against Leo or my other bandmates.
My alphas? Maybe.Didwe agree to make a pack last night? Or was it more of a wait and see thing? Because yeah, this was all accidental and secondary to Exit Fate. The music and the band are way more important.
Yet the way Leo makes my body sing and create itsownmusic?—
I have to stop myself from thinking about it anymore before even more slick coats my thighs. As it is, these pants are absolutely useless now. For a moment, I consider tiptoeing out to ask Aiden if I can borrow some sweats, but then after last night, I’m thinking it’ll probably be a yes. And it’s not like there’s any hiding what I would’ve been very obviously doing in here.
WhatLeowas doing in here, though…
I bite my lip hard as flashes of it come back to me.Fuck.It was so hot, and also so damned inappropriate not just as a bandmate, but as a professional colleague.
My heat has never burned as hot as it feels right now, and I’m acutely aware that is because I’ve found scent matched alphas. However, this cannot and thuswill notimpede what we’re doing with Exit Fate.
It just can’t get in the way of making this band everything I know it can be. Everything Wes and the alphas know it can be.
Scent matching was accidental, that’s it.
I decide against just rifling through Aiden’s closet and instead aim to simply leave as quickly as possible from his apartment. I was pretty out of it last, and I’m well aware I’m on borrowed time before another heat flare strikes. But Al’s wasn’t that far from here. I can probably make it back there, get my car, and at least halfway home before I’ll be useless again.
I glance at the alarm clock next on Aiden’s bedside table. Seven in the morning. What are the chances the alphas are awake?
I slip out of Aiden’s bedroom and make it halfway down the hall back toward the living space when the answer becomes mortifyingly clear.
The smell of eggs, pancakes, and waffles wafts through the air alongside coffee brewing. Their soft murmurs are tossed back and forth to each other, quiet enough not to wake me.
Oh, fuck me.
