Page 60 of Brandy Snap: Part One

It was their fault as well. Because these two bastards were thinking about her all the time as well. They just wouldn’t fucking admit it.

Sin had been pining like an absolute loser whenever he was by himself. And Cas had spent so much time at work punching the shit out of the security teams he trained with that both of them had left me all alone in the house all day.

Even though I still had to go into work and arrange details and confirm the script for a pre-Selection episode of my show next week, it didn’t fucking matter.

I just had to keep them in my nest when we were home, and all this shitty anxiety would go away.

Cas kept rubbing his nose along my neck, scent marking the fuck out of me.

“You’re my omega, Kai,” he growled. “That’s never going to change.”

I loved it when he said stuff like that because I knew how embarrassed it made him.

“You’re so shit at being romantic,” I snorted.

“Yeah, but I’m trying. And you know why?”

He pulled back to look at me, his wild irises tinged with flecks of red from all the times he’d gone rogue.

“Tell me,” I demanded, even though I wasn’t planning to forgive him.

He narrowed his eyes at me as I dug my nails into his shoulders.

“Caspian Risler, I swear to God, if you don’t tell me, I’m going to gouge your fucking eyes out.”

“Because we love you,” Sin’s smooth voice flowed over me as his cold chest pressed against my back.

“Because I love you,” Caspian followed with a scowl. I thought my heart was going to burst.

“That’s all I fucking ask,” I grumbled, like I hadn’t been absolutely dying to hear that since Brandy left.

All three of us had been so fucked up on her we’d forgotten the most important thing about being a pack.

Sin dropped his lips against the back of my neck as he held me, his towel-wrapped hand itching my waist.

He was acting like I hadn’t just mauled him. But he did that every time I bit him too hard.

And biting him there had just made Brandy’s bite sting, and my need for her pound even stronger.

“Did you hear that?” Caspian said. “Did you hear how much that means to us?”

I still narrowed my eyes at him. He was the worst offender out of the two of them.

“You still fucked her,” I mumbled. It burned to even say it out loud.

“Do you know how sorry I am? I couldn’t stop myself, okay? It was my rut.”

“That’s such a shit fucking excuse. You’re just acting like a cliché alpha now.”

“You fucked her, too.” His growl sent shivers down my spine as he brought himself close to my lips. “And you let her bite you. And you know what, Kai?” His brow scrunched up and pain scattered through our bond. “We’re both hurting each other right now, and we need to stop this shit before it gets even worse.”

“I never knew you could be so mature,” Sin teased, amusement curling through the bond as he reached out to run his other hand over Caspian’s collarbone.

“Fuck you,” he snapped at our mate, even though desire sparked in his eyes.

“I was hoping you would say that.” Sin actually fucking purred as he leaned even closer to me, rubbing his chest hard against my shoulders to make sure his scent got nice and deep.

Laughter rippled through me as I bent towards Cas, dragging him into a rough kiss. And all his growly bullshit floated away as he sank into me.
