"It's a classic for a reason," Orion growled.
The timer dinged and Orion went with Archer to get the pizzas. I shifted into Archer's spot while he was gone, just as Kade came in, looked around the room and sank down in the armchair I'd been in earlier.
The pizzas smelled heavenly and even though I'd recently gobbled down three Rice Krispy bars like a maniac, my stomach rumbled with hunger. I'd never been this hungry in my life.
When the guys returned, they put the pizzas on the coffee table.
"There's enough for everyone, we tossed a few more in the oven," Archer said, looking over at me.
Orion sat down in his usual spot and Archer, instead of taking the spot next to him, scooped me up and sat, dropping me onto his lap.
"Hey!" I jabbed him playfully in the ribs with my elbow and he just laughed.
His strong arm banded around my middle and he leaned forward, snagging a piece of pizza and handing it to me. Then he grabbed a piece for himself.
"You can let me go," I told him, gingerly holding the piping hot pizza.
Orion silently handed me a napkin and I dropped the pizza onto it, shaking out my heated hand.
"You're the one who wanted to sit here." Archer took a big bite of his pizza, not seeming to care how hot it was.
"Fine." I wiggled my butt to get into a more comfortable position, but froze when I realized my mistake. Something hard and long was suddenly pressing against my ass cheeks.
Not daring to move forward, I leaned back against his chest and pretended not to notice his hard-on. Instead, I nibbled atthe pizza, careful not to burn my tongue and focused on the sink gushing blood on the TV screen.
Archer kept eating, too, but he flexed his hips slightly, digging harder into my backside. Then he let out a whoosh of air and relaxed, a light hum in his chest that I felt, rather than heard. He was purring, but just barely.
The effect was immediate, whether or not he was properly purring. My body relaxed completely and I sagged against him. There was a gush of slick in the gym pants I wore and it was all I could do not to squirm on his lap. Heat seemed to emanate from between my legs. This was not happening. I didn't get turned on by alphas, especially not ones that kidnapped me and were determined to return me to the hell that was the Omega Reassignment Center.
"Tone it down, little one, if you don't want everyone smelling you," Archer whispered in my ear.
I felt my cheeks heat. Of course, the room full of alphas would be able to smell my pheromones. It was enough for me to clamp my legs shut, feeling the slick on my thighs and wishing desperately I had some panties. In the too-big gym pants, there wasn't a lot I could do to hide the smell. It was sickly sweet to my own nose with a sour note as my embarrassment rose.
"What the hell are you doing over there, Archer?" Kade asked, sniffing the air.
I resisted the urge to bury my face in Archer's armpit. His amber scent surrounded me, stronger than it had been a minute ago.
"She's trying to send us into a rut," River groused. "Take it upstairs if you're going to start perfuming like that. It's disgusting. We don't do omegas."
"I'm not trying to do anything!" I pulled Archer's arm free and slid into the free space beside him, making Orion stiffen.
His nostrils flared and Orion's dark eyes turned to me. "You smell like food."
"I'm eating pizza," I pointed out helpfully.
He rolled his eyes. "Apples. Honey. Spices. It's delicious." Suddenly, Orion leaned into my space and licked up the side of my face.
I jerked away, "Ew! Get off me!"
"Okay, that's enough, omega. We're going up." River jumped up and strode over to me, grabbing my arm roughly and dragging me upright.
"I didn't finish eating!"
"Too bad. Should have thought of that before you decided to seduce us."
Despite my protests that I wasn't trying to seduce them, River ignored me, continuing to drag me up the stairs. I didn't struggle, but it was hard to keep up with his longer legs and he kept jerking me along with him until I stumbled and hit my knees on the edge of the stairs.
I cried out and instantly snapped me mouth shut, pained tears welling up. When the betas zapped us, they always kept going if we yelped or whimpered.
