Page 10 of Crash Course Omega
I want everything he can give me in this moment just so I can pretend that we really are matches and he isn’t just another alpha trying to play me.
Can I do it? Because my body is pounding and my omega senses are telling me to go for it. I haven’t been satisfied since I broke up with a certain someone, but I just know if I take Jaxx’s knot, I’ll be sated for the first time since I left Maddock.
But it has to start with me saying yes to the bright-eyed alpha who’s waiting patiently for my answer.
“If I say yes, this stays between us. I’m not Harmony, you’re not Jaxx. We’re just two people crossing paths.”
“It’s been that way since I kissed you,” he says with a smooth calm that puts me on edge while reassuring me at the same time.
I want to say I know I’m going to regret it. As he kisses me again and I soften into his touch, he makes me crave an alpha in a way I hadn't felt in years.
But, the absolute second I’m about to give in and spread myself out for him, there’s a knock at the door.
Our eyes widen, his grin falters, and I jolt back from him with a gasp.
I stare at the painted wood, fear beating through me as I pray it isn’t another reporter. It’s the worst possible time for me to be found in a broom closet with a playboy alpha.
“Harmony, are you in there?” my bodyguard asks in a muffled voice.
I relax instantly, because I know they would only come and find me when it’s safe.
Two years ago, an alpha hit me with his pheromones and tried to drag me off the street, and it was only because I was being stalked by paparazzi that they managed to stop him. Since then, a location tracker has always stayed in my handbag so my guards can find me.
“I’m here. I’ll be out in a second,” I call, shooting another look at Jaxx, who won’t stop grinning. His lips are covered in my lipstick, and his hand still hovers on my thigh. I don’t want him to let me go.
On the other hand, if anyone takes a photo of this, it will probably stop them asking about the Ross incident, so that could work.
But then… thinking of Maddock’s face if I did anything to screw up Vegas for him…
Another stab of pain clenches my heart, and I have to push it down. My body is riding high from Jaxx’s touch, so I’m more emotional. I don’t want to believe that a match has happened so quickly.
“Wait five minutes and then come out after me,” I say to Jaxx, and the way he beams at me makes it feel like he’s sparkling.
“So, we’re not even going to exchange numbers or anything?” he asks, his voice low, the lilt in his tone sending shivers through me.
“You don’t know me,” I say. “You don’t need my number.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he drawls as his fingers trickle down my thigh, like he’s telling me he could still stroke me if I just said the word.
I want one last kiss, but I’ve learned by now not to give alphas anything more. When I’m done, I’m done. Because if they think they have an inch, they’ll take a mile.
I pull back from him, giving him one last look, taking in his handsome smile, his crooked left tooth, and his dimples. It really would be so easy to fall for him.
He steps away from the door and quickly opens it for me. He doesn’t try to kiss me goodbye or fondle my ass again; he just keeps smiling.
“See you around, Jaxx,” I purr as more pheromones waft from him.
His winks and my heart flutters as I run from the closet, and from him.
I have to be even more careful this weekend. First Maddock, then Jaxx. And I know what their relationship is like because I’ve followed Maddock’s career ever since we broke up.
All I have to do is stay out of Maddock’s way, avoid Jaxx, and get through the weekend without an incident.
Harmony
It’s absolutely pouring on the streets of Vegas.
In October, it shouldn’t be burning with sun, but Vegas isn’t exactly known for rain.
