I’m panting as our lips break apart, turned on all over again by his filthy kiss, and Lawson grips my arms gently to steady me as I sway toward him.
His lips quirk up in a devious grin. “Fuck, I love getting you all worked up like this. I love that you’ve got a wild side, and that you aren’t afraid to show it.”
“You helped me with that,” I say as he reaches down to tug my panties back up and fix my dress before adjusting his own clothes. “You and your pack. I used to just read about this stuff, but I never would’ve thought I’d have the guts to try it in real life… until I met all of you.”
“Well, I’d say we’re made for each other then.” He pulls me against him again, smiling down at me warmly. “Because helping you explore your kinky side is one of my absolute favorite things, beautiful.”
A flush warms my cheeks, and I’m about to reply when a deep voice interrupts us.
“There you are. Are you ready to—”
Knox breaks off, his nostrils flaring as his gaze lands on me and Lawson. We’re fully clothed by now, and our embrace is fairly innocent looking… but it’s clear that the big goalie isn’t fooled by any of that. I don’t know if he can scent our arousal in the air or if he’s just that good at reading both of us, but he definitely knows we just had sex.
His eyes darken, and a second later, he’s joined by Miles and Cruz, who come to a stop on either side of him as all three of them stare at us.
“Really, Lawson?” Miles arches a brow.
Lawson shrugs. “Talk to Lily. She’s just as guilty as I am.”
Miles’s gaze shifts to me, but instead of giving me a hard time about having sex in a bookstore, he looks like he’s seriously contemplating lifting me up, pinning me against the shelves, and giving me a repeat. Cruz is wearing a similar expression, and Knox groans as he palms his crotch, clearly trying to push down his growing hard on.
“See?” Lawson grins, draping an arm around my shoulder as he faces his pack mates. “You can’t tell me any one of you wouldn’t have done the same in my place.”
“Fucking hell.” Miles’s voice is strained. “Fine. You might be right about that.”
“Next time, I’m taking Lily into the quiet part of the store,” Knox grumbles.
“Oh, come on, Knox. There’s no way you wouldn’t have knocked down an entire shelf,” Lawson teases. “Sex in public requires a bit of finesse, and I’m just not sure that’s a skill you have.”
“Not a skill I have? Finesse? I’ll remind you of my save in that game against the Grizzlies, where I caught the puck on a rebound. That’s nothing but finesse.”
I laugh as the men continue to banter good-naturedly amongst themselves, teasing and poking at each other in the way family does.
We spend a bit more time in the bookstore, each of my Alphas loading up their arms with books for me as we browse the selection. And even though I can’t quite meet the sales clerk’s eyes when we finally go to check out, too worried that she might’ve accidentally heard Lawson fucking me in the back…
It was so, so worth it.
Chapter 33
Lily
I can feel Lawson’s cum soaking my panties as we leave the bookstore. I shiver at the sensation. It’s so debauched, so naughty, but nobody can tell. The cashier at the front counter, strangers passing us by on the street… nobody knows the dirty secret hidden under my clothes. It’s delicious.
Labyrinth was already my favorite bookstore, but now even more so, now that I have this memory.
“So.” I clear my throat, trying to sound professional even as my four Alphas keep smirking at me. “That’s the conclusion of the tour. When I originally planned it I had two food stops, the coffee shop where we got drinks earlier, then a couple suggestions for something right around here, so that whoever had bought the walking tour would have something to eat afterward. I didn’t plan on joining them, of course, but it’s a moot point anyway.”
“Is it?” Cruz looks at his watch. “We have some time before we have to pick up Ben, so we could grab something to eat.”
Knox frowns and also looks at his watch. “I don’t know…”
I put my hand on his arm. “Ben will be fine. I’m sure he’s having a lot of fun. He’s been talking about going to this party all week.”
Knox relaxes under my touch, then sighs and nods at the others. “I am hungry.”
“Great.” Cruz grins at me. “What do you suggest to eat around here, miss tour guide?”
I laugh. “Follow me.”
