Page 61 of Brandy Snap: Part One

Sin sighed softly as he pressed closer, making sure I was totally loved.

“You’re everything we need, Kai,” Sin insisted, kissing the curve of my neck.

I had to make sure I absolutely covered them in amaretto so no one would even think of getting their sticky little brandy-flavoured paws into my alphas.

“We belong to you as much as you belong to us,” Sin said before he softly dug his teeth into me.

And I wanted to believe him so badly that I was totally willing to let him lie to me just so I could chase away the pain.

We could stay like this for the rest of the night, and I’d be totally happy. Just the three of us curled up so awkwardly that I was already getting pins and needles in my ass. But I wasn’t going to move until they did.

I thought it would be enough. Peace settled between us as their hearts beat against mine and Sin’s finger gently throbbed.

Until Sin’s phone pealed from the bedside table.

I groaned, and the tension that we’d just settled flared through all three of us.

And all the crap that had been winding through me just poured out all over again. Because we never knew if it might be her.

My anxiety sky-rocketed as Sin instantly hurled himself off me and swept his phone.

I should have just told him to leave it off like he did during my heat, but we were each too important to avoid our work.

Sin shot up, ramrod straight as his heart gave one massive thump.

“Melanie?” he asked breathlessly. “What’s wrong?”

And that single name ricocheted through us as my entire fucking soul plummeted and soared at the same time.

A whimper poured from me, my whole body tense as absolute dread wound its way over me like a fucking noose.

Panic flared, and I desperately reached for the phone to wrench it from him.

If I took her away, then they couldn’t have her and I’d be their only omega.

Sin instantly spread his aura over me, filling me with so much of his love that I grew dizzy.

I knew he was just using it to keep me placid, but it was fine as long as I couldn’t feel the hurt. He could mellow me out as much as he wanted, as long as I knew he still loved me.

Caspian crept closer, his hand tracing the line of my stomach to curve his hand around my cock.

I didn’t even realise I was still hard from our cuddling until he gave me a soft stroke, holding me closer and closer.

But I knew he was fucking pretending. It wasn’t me he wanted. He was doing it for her. To be close toher.

It was exactly why I snuggled back into Sin, so I could rub against him and his phone like I could fucking absorb her and get rid of her.

“I’m putting you on speakerphone,” Sin said, just as I grabbed his neck.

He pressed the button as I pushed at Caspian’s head, forcing him into my shoulder to make sure he was with me as I tugged Sin to my lips. If I could get them both to shut the fuck up, then none of us could talk to her.

But it was too late.

She was here. Right with us. Right in the fucking room.

I just had to pretend. I could keep pretending. My alphas wanted her, just like they lavished their attention on Camille, and I had to keep pretending it was all okay. I’d had five years of practice of hiding my emotions already. I could do it again.

But as soon as she started speaking, pleasure burned through the three of us, and I swore I would destroy her if I ever saw her again. I just couldn’t decide if it would be with my hands, or my cock.
