Ledger hummed softly as he started the shower, waiting until steam filled the room before he curled his fingers at the hem of the dress.
“Can I help you?”
I held my hands up and nodded, allowing him to help me out of the awful white fabric I never wanted to see again.
“I’m tired of not being able to smell your scent through all this blood,” he admitted. “I wish I could have given you a soft life, one where you never had to deal with any of this.”
“Unfortunately, that’s not possible,” I said. “But you came for me, Ledger. You got me out of there and you’re going to remind me why you’re the only ones who ever gets to touch me.”
“I’ll remind you that you belong to me, just as much as I belong to you. There is no other omega in this world for me… just you.”
Curiosity won out. Even though this moment was meant to be between me and Ledger, I couldn’t help but ask the question that lingered in my mind.
“What about Ansel? Sometimes I wonder if he’ll change his mind one day.”
“To be blunt,” Ledger said, “Ansel is not my scent-match. I’d gladly help him through a heat if he wanted me to. He’s my packmate and I care about him. You know that I’d do anything to make sure he’s safe and comfortable. But it’s not the same as how I feel about you.”
“I feel like I’m stealing something from Ansel. Like I claimed all of you alphas, and I won’t allow him to have one. It makes me feel petty and selfish.”
“You would never do that. If Ansel was our scent-match and we wanted him the same way we wanted you, and he wanted the same, you’d allow it. Your heart is huge and you’d want us all to be happy. No matter what society says should happen, that’s just not our dynamic, and that’s okay. Ansel doesn’t want an alpha, and I respect that.”
“I just worry sometimes,” I admitted with a sigh. “I don’t want him to be unhappy.”
“Well then,” Ledger said, smiling softly. “Good thing you’re enough to make him happy, to make all of us happy.”
With that he pulled the dress off of me and over my head. I was naked underneath and shivered in the cold and the weight of my alpha’s stare.
Leger didn’t say anything else as he helped me into the shower, his hands brushing my hair over my shoulders before lathering his hands up with soap. He gently massaged them overmy skin, adding more as he needed it, and working out every sore muscle.
The damage on my feet wasn’t as bad as I expected other than a bit of lingering soreness but he washed them just as carefully.
When he was finally satisfied that no speck of the forest or the attack were on my skin, he spun me around with a grin.
My eyes drifted closed as he massaged shampoo and then conditioner into my hair, fingers working their magic and relaxing me enough I thought I might just turn into a puddle.
Then he was rinsing me off, placing a kiss on my wet forehead when I was facing him again.
“Alright, my sweet omega. You smell like you again.” To emphasize his point he buried his nose in my neck and shoulder, breathing in for a few moments as the water rained over us, warming me until I stopped shaking.
Having his hands all over me had my heat perking up. Not a spike, but enough I was feeling needy all over again.
I didn’t want to ruin the moment but I needed his touch.
I shouldn’t have worried. Leger always seemed to know exactly what I needed. His soft kisses and brushes of his fingers shifted from sweet, to possessive.
“You smell amazing,” he breathed out as he dropped to his knees right there on the shower floor. I watched him sink down, heart pounding as this gorgeous alpha looked up at me like I was everything he could ever want or need.
My gaze drifted slowly down his muscled form until I reached his cock. It was hard and leaking and now all I could focus on was having him inside of me.
“Please,” I begged, a rush of slick leaking down my legs now.
“I’m going to make you come for me,” he promised as he guided my hands to his shoulder before hooking one leg over his arm, spreading me open for him.
Ledger leaned down, licking my pussy slowly, cleaning up all of the slick he coaxed from my body. I cried out softly as his tongue flicked over my clit, two fingers sinking into my core.
There were no desperate, hurried movements. He took his time as he savored my taste and scent, doing everything he knew I liked until I was riding the edge of my release, nails digging into his skin as I tried to hold myself together.
Ledger groaned every time I whimpered, a fresh wave of slick filling his mouth. His tongue caught every drop eagerly as he gently fucked me with his fingers, never faltering his pace.
