My heart sank. This was where we usually got rooms for heat with an unknown alpha. It was where all the prostitutes went too. You could pay by the hour if you wanted to, or stay the night, but I would rather be outside than sleeping on bed bugs.
Was he already booking a room for me? Surely there was no need to rush this much.
I pushed the door open, peeking inside to see Wren putting down the phone at the front desk and thanking the receptionist for letting him use it.
Turning toward the door and catching me watching him, he froze and gave me a bashful look as though he’d just been caught doing something bad.
“What were you doing?” I asked, the moment he was outside.
Grudgingly, he pulled a scrap of paper from his pocket and held it out to me.
I took it, opening it to see that a phone number had been written across the note page in neat, clean handwriting.
Immediately I knew whose number it was.
I looked up at Wren, shaking my head.
“You’re joking.”
“He was nice,” Wren argued, shrugging and suddenly my heart was racing.
“You like him,” I said.
Fear dripped off my voice and suddenly, Wren was holding me, kissing me.
“No,” he insisted. “Not more than you. I love you Manny. I’m crazy about you.”
I tried to pull back, but he kept me in his arms and wouldn’t stop kissing me and whispering sweet words against my lips, my neck, my ears.
“You’re everything to me. I could never be without you. I love you so much Manny. I just want to come with you. I don’t want to send you off alone. He’ll let me come. Please don’t be upset.”
Finally, I felt like I could breathe again as his words worked their magic.
In fact, I understood. I hadn’t been able to let him go without me the last time and my heat was getting stronger by the moment.
“Chase was nice,” Wren reminded me again. “He didn’t push us. He let us be together...”
I found myself nodding and Wren let out a relieved sigh.
“You’re starting to pour pheromones,” he murmured.
I nodded again because I was already feeling it intensifying. My cock was so hard it ached, but that was nothing compared to the emptiness I felt, how badly I wanted to be filled.
“How long until he gets here?”
“He said he was on his way. I’m not sure what part of the city he’s coming from though.”
“Hey.”
The gruff voice in my ear was barely enough warning before I was suddenly yanked by the arm out of Wren’s embrace.
I was swung around by a large hand, my body smacking into an alpha’s chest. I looked up at his unfamiliar face. His scent enveloped me.
I bit back a moan, even as I tried to yank free.
“What the hell are you doing with an omega? You need an alpha, baby,” he said grinning down at me.
“He’s already waiting for someone,” Wren argued, trying to pull me free.
