Page 24 of A Baby for the Beast
"Are lacy things appropriate for the things we need to do today?" Hayley asks, teasing Remus and making his inexperience show because he doesn't know how to banter with her right now.
Just be yourself. She likes us.
Right, we chose a smart omega. One who knows a strong alpha when she sees him.
Sure, whatever helps you talk to her and not just leer.
"If it were up to me, you'd be naked all day," Remus says, and I mentally choke on my spit.
That wasn't what I meant when I told him to be himself, but now that he's gotten a taste of what being horny is, it's like that's all he ever is now. Is this what Henry's had to deal withfrom Romulus? No wonder the two of them act like such idiots sometimes.
"Tempting," Hayley says, grabbing a pair of jeans and moving to our side of the closet to grab one of our t-shirts. Remus purrs at the idea of her wearing our clothing, our scent. We need to scent her. "Where's the shower?"
Remus tugs her close to him, his hand splayed around her hip, fingertips curled against her abdomen as he guides her through the apartment. She looks around with wide eyes.
We make good money fighting, but most of our wealth comes from selling the alpha entertainment businesses that mine and Henry's father left to us when he passed away. He wanted us to keep the business under our control, but I wasn't interested in anything other than fighting, and at the time, Henry was just finally starting to cut back on his partying. I didn't think he had it in him to run them. So, we sold them, made a butt load of cash, and now we do whatever it is we want.
"This is the bathroom we use," Remus says, showing her into the bathroom at the end of the hall where our bedroom is.
There's one other room down this hallway, one with its door closed because while I do think there's a good chance Hayley likes it, there's another scenario where she thinks we overstepped boundaries to a ridiculous degree. I need a little more certainty that she wants us for the long haul before I show it to her, just to make sure I'm not going to scare her away with how badly I want her.
Hayley examines the bathroom, narrowing her eyes on a drawer filled with haircare supplies, and then looks at us with an accusation on her tongue because we have hair so short it's almost considered buzzed.
"Omega, they're the same brands you have in your bathroom," Remus says, unimpressed with where her mindwent. "Lucas told you we've never been with an omega. It wasn't some trick to fuck you."
Hayley's cheeks grow rosy as she ducks her head. "Sorry, alpha."
Remus bites his smile into place, enjoying the game our omega seems to want to play.
"How sorry are you?" Remus adds his growl to his question, and our omega perfumes for us like she always does. Her citrusy scent fills our bathroom, and Remus licks his lips, remembering the tart taste of her when he made a feast of her the only other time we woke with her in our arms.
Hayley ducks her head, offering her neck to us, and Remus is on her in an instant, teeth locking onto her bare neck, holding her in place but not biting.
Stop! She didn't ask for it, Remus! We can't just bite her.
She wants it. Wants us. Needs me like I need her. Mark her, make her mine. Mine. All mine.
Hayley reaches up and touches the hinge of Remus's jaw, and he pulls away. He's breathing hard, his heart racing, pounding in our chest as he looks down at Hayley, and the clear conflicted emotions in her face. She doesn't know if she wants his bite or not, and that's enough to have him retreat.
I clear my throat as I get control of our body, turning my head slightly so Hayley doesn't think I'm about to lunge for her neck again.
"All of your shower supplies are in the shower. If there's anything you need, let me know."
With those words, I turn on my heel, not wanting to be in her way if she needs space to deal with the fact that we almost just claimed her without her consent. I'd like to put my contacts in now, but it can wait until she's finished up in here.
"Lucas," Hayley calls my name, and I have to close my eyes and fight the shiver that travels down my body. Her fingers wraparound my bicep, and she tugs on me until I turn around to face her. "It's not a rejection."
She stands on her tiptoes, lifting her lips up toward me, and I don't deny her. I let her lead like she did the last time we kissed. I follow her when she opens her mouth, when her tongue dances against mine, and when she's breathless, I pull away.
"We're ready as soon as you are," I tell her, cupping her cheek and brushing my lips against hers once more.
"As soon as you are," I repeat, so she understands just how serious Remus and I are.
She smiles at me, though it doesn't quite reach her eyes. I don't expect an answer from her anytime soon. This is still new for her, and she's dealing with all the drama that Kyle has brought into her life.
I shut the bathroom door behind me, leaving her on her own as I head back to the bedroom, grabbing my laptop off the bed and searching for what I planned on looking into this morning while Hayley was still asleep. I take the laptop with me into the dining room area and try my hardest to keep calm as I read through all of the posts Kyle made. He deleted a lot of them after receiving backlash, and some were likely removed for providing identifiable information about someone else.
His latest post has the caption. 'These sluts just want money. Jumping to another beast while she's still pregnant with my kid. Fucking nasty.'
