“Of course she is. I bonded with her–andwefeel each other.” Evan glared. He looked at me. “You still want her there, right?”
“Of course I do. I only worry that she isn’t ready.” It was an orgy. In the fog of pheromones, the usual lines blurred, which was where the joke about not talking about what happened in the heat nest came from. While we regretted nothing, there was also a huge amount of trust built up between the four of us, which enabled us to give in and have a certain degree of vulnerability.
We could choose to hold ourselves back. But I’d also understand if Brennan and Jett weren't ready for her to be there either.
“I’m okay with it,” Jett said. “But I think we shouldn’t bring her in until after at least the first round, since that can get intense. We should let her know that she can come and go as she pleases without offering any reason or feeling any guilt. It’s going to overwhelm her, and while I’ll do what I can to buffer, I can get pretty affected in the thick of it.”
“You’d be okay with her there?” Brennan peered at him.
“Um, yeah. I’m a little curious.” Jett shot Evan a look, who replied with a coy smile.
Huh.
Brennan looked out the window. “We’ve just never…”
“I know, that’s why we’re talking about it,” Evan replied. “We might not be ready for pussy at our sex party, and I understand that.”
Caroline hadn’t participated in Evan’s heats–and he hadn’t taken part in hers. Which had caused tension. They hadn’t synced either, which usually happened in two-omega packs.
“Jett’s plan seems like it could work. Spencer, she could hang out with you, right? When she needs a break?” I asked. My biology would compel me to stay with Evan.
Spencer seemed very engrossed in his phone. He looked up. “Of course. I enjoy spending time with her.”
He always seemed on the periphery of the pack, so it would be nice for him to be drawn in a little more. And, well, I knew all about their kiss and her falling asleep on him in the movie theatre.
“Though…” Spencer looked at Brennan. “I don’t know what it is like for mate pairs like them, but you should be prepared if her biology compels her to be with him the same way yours does.”
“True. I didn’t think of that. Yeah, if we keep her out, but she’s crying at the door for me, I’d let her in, just like I would for you,” Evan said.
“Fuck, when you put it that way…” I raked my hair with my hand. Right. They were mated. She could very well be as compelled to be with him as we were.
“Bren? I know you aren’t besties yet, but…” Evan gave him a pleading look.
Brennan rubbed his chin. “Can I give this some thought? While it’s your heat, and I want to make you happy, this isn’t an easy thing for me. Though Spencer made a good point.”
“Please. I see the effort you’re making, and I appreciate it.” Evan leaned in and gave him a kiss.
“I didn’t even correct her when she, once again, played Volkov too fast.” Brennan looked pleased with himself.
“Same menu as usual?” Spencer asked, still on his phone. He usually made the post-heat feast.
“Please?” Evan batted his eyelashes.
“Of course. I’ll get the boat out of storage if the weather is nice.” He went back to his phone.
“Okay, so I’ll talk to Grace, and Brennan will think about it,” Evan confirmed.
“While we’re discussing things, I want to clarify that I like Grace and I fully intend to formally court her.” Spencer’s eyes met mine as he put down his phone.
“Please, take her to all the science things and galas and stuff. She hadfunwith you at the last one,” I replied. Yeah, she could people so we didn’t have to.
“What if I do more than science things?” Spencer prodded. “What if I teach her tennis or golf? Perhaps whisk her off to places she’s never been? I can’t wait to hold her hand and walk along the beach in the moonlight. Do you think she’d like to scuba dive with me?”
“The beach?” I’d sort of wanted to take her to the beach first. Because she hadn’t beenhere.
“Doesn’t she like the beach?” He frowned.
“I was planning a beach trip for the pack during the summer,” Evan replied.
