"Let me help you," he murmurs. His hand clutches my jaw as he rubs his thumb over my lower lip. My tongue darts out, swirling over his finger.
I'm wearing an oversized sweater dress and knee-high boots that Luke picked out for me this morning when he retrieved my clothes from my room. The boots give me extra height and put my face closer to Archie's.
"Good God, how I want to shove my fingers down your throat as I fuck you from behind," Archie murmurs against my jaw. His other hand yanks my hip, pulling us chest to chest. My tongue swirls around his thumb as he pushes it deeper into my mouth. My thighs clench together. I'm trying to settle the throbbing ache in my core, but it's ineffective. My perfume radiates around us.
Archie snarls. He spins me, pinning my hands on the cool metal of the prep table with one hand and pulling my hips back with the other.
"You're very close to your heat." His cock grinds into my ass. He growls against my neck. Warm fingers tease up under the edge of my dress. He grips my thigh and hip in his strong hand, and I squirm.
"You are choosing us to ride out your heat," Archie says against the shell of my ear. "That's not a question, darling."
"Yes," I agree. "I want you guys…" My breath shudders out. "And Luke if he'll be there."
Archie flips the back of my dress up. Cool air hits my ass, and I groan.
"He wouldn't have it any other way. Fucking hell, I want to mark up this ass before I fuck it." He yanks my head back with a handful of hair. "Are you open to that, lass?"
"Y-Yes," I moan.
"Good," Archie growls. He directs my head where he wants me to go and shoves his tongue in my mouth as he grinds himselfagainst my bottom. "Yes, right. Diane will have my head…" He laughs, shaking away the fog that seemed to be creeping in. "Let's migrate somewhere more appropriate."
I give him a shaky nod as he flips my dress down. "I may need you to walk slightly in front of me." He laughs. "I'm not sure my employees want to see this side of me." He gestures to his erection.
I laugh. "I'll do my best."
Archie guides us down a hallway I'm not familiar with. Luke comes around the corner at the end of the hall. A shrill voice I'm not expecting follows him, and my heart thumps.
"I thought we had something special," Anastasia says, making a grab for his arm.
My chest gets tight. I take a step back.Something special?
I don't like the idea of Luke having anything with her… With anyone but me, if I'm being honest.
"No," Archie murmurs in my ear, holding me in place. "Nothing like she's making it seem."
"Why the hell did you stick me with that old man?" Anastasia demands, grabbing Luke's armagain. "How am I supposed to get anything done?"
"What the hell does that mean?" Luke tries to shake her hold off his arm. "You know what? I don't care. You're not my problem. Let me go," he says. He spins to face her fully. "Viktor is good at his job. I have no interest in going back to work with you. Didn't your parents teach you any manners? Keep your damn hands to yourself." He spins to head toward me and Archie.
"But I like you. I want to get to know your pack," Anastasia says, following him.
Luke barks a laugh, shaking his head. He turns back toward her. "That makes so much sense. I couldn't figure out why you acted like that yesterday with Evie. Hell, you barely glanced my way after I made it clear I'm not an alpha. You think I'm in a pack with the owners."
"I told you," Archie says, kissing my cheek. "Go rescue him." He gives me a gentle shove, and I head for Luke.
"You aren't?" Anastasia asks, frowning. She spots me first since I'm approaching Luke's back as he faces her.
"Hey," I say, giving an awkward little wave as I try to right my footing.
Luke spins. "Evie…" He trails off, looking anxious, but I trip on my own feet and stumble straight into his chest.
"Oomph," I grumble, readjusting my glasses. "Thanks for the save."
Luke smiles down at me and it makes my heart thump. "Did you and Archie have a nice date?" His nose dances up my neck. "Yes, it smells like you had fun."
"We did," I agree, smiling. "Do you want to join us for what comes next?"
Luke smirks. His eyes dart to Archie's.
