Page 62 of Knot Their Reality

"Can't we just let them sleep? Look how sweet they look." Carson's voice is just a tad too loud, keeping me from falling back into the abyss of sleep.

Asher sighs, his voice soothing, but again just a tad too loud. "As much as I'd love to, we can't. Sophia has an appointment with the psychiatrist, and then we have the rose ceremony tonight."

"Will you two shut up? I'm trying to sleep," I practically snarl without opening my eyes.

Chase chuckles beneath me. "Yeah, I'm happy right where I am."

"Damn it, omegas, get your asses out of the car," Liam growls and I wrinkle my nose as my eyes blink open.

"Watch it, Mr. Grumpy Pants. Remember you're here to win me over, and being grumpy and growly isn't the way to do it."

Chase snickers. "Are you sure about that? He's pretty hot when he's grumpy and growly."

I slap a hand down on Chase's chest before sitting up. "I take it we're back?" I ask as I stretch, glancing out the windows."

"For about fifteen minutes or so since neither of you wanted to wake up," Carson says with a grin.

I just shrug. "I was tired. I obviously needed a nap, but Asher is right. I do have a meeting with Finn that I can't miss."

I allow Asher to help me out of the car, Chase climbing out behind me and immediately wrapping his arm around my waist. He pulls me more firmly against his side as I turn my face up to him, a questioning look on my face.

Chase leans down to kiss the tip of my nose. "I was enjoying cuddling with you, and I'm not ready for you to be away from me yet."

"That's sweet." I snuggle into his side, a smile on my face even as I feel myself flushing. I felt a draw to all four members of the Lewitt pack, but there's always been something special between Chase and me. I have no idea how to describe it, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

We meander up the walkway to the mansion, taking our time even though I know I'm likely to be late for my appointment with Finn. I'm sure he'll understand, and if he doesn't? That's just too bad. I'm not ready to leave my omega yet.

My omega? That's the second time I've called him that today, but he's not actually mine. Why do I keep calling him that? Yes, I'm giving them a second chance, but it's not a given that I'll choose them. And if that's what my omega side expects, she can get over it right now.

Do I want them? There's no question about that. But I don't trust them—how can I after what happened? Not that it was their fault. They really didn't do anything wrong, but it's hard for me to convince my head of that. It's going to take some time. I just need to get my omega side and my heart to understand that.

I'd love for Pack Lewitt to be a part of my pack... assuming they're the same men I think they are. Finding that out is going to take some time. Plus, there's no way I can make any decisions until I've seen the way all the suitors interact with one another.

Shaking my head as we enter the mansion, I finally pull away from Chase's side. He tries to follow my movements, but Asher's hand on his shoulder stops him. I can't help but smile at the glare he shoots his alpha. Asher just raises an eyebrow that makes Chase let out a "hmph" as he turns back to me.

Trying not to overthink it, I step back into Chase and lean against him as I go up on my tiptoes. He meets me halfway, our mouths slanting together as his arms tighten around me. I brush my tongue against his, and we both moan.

"Okay, omegas." Asher's voice is sharp as I feel him try to pull Chase away from me.

I break the kiss to let out a snarl in the alpha's direction. Asher's hands fly up in surrender as my eyes narrow.

"Mine," I bark. Something that isn't true. If Chase belongs to anyone it's Asher, Liam, and Carson.

Chase's hands land on my face, drawing my attention back to him. "Yours," he whispers before brushing his lips against mine.

When he pulls back, I chase his lips, but he just shakes his head and presses a kiss to my forehead before pulling away from me. I whine at the loss of contact, but Carson is gathering me into his arms.

"Everything is alright, omega. No one is trying to take Chase away from you. We just don’t want you to be late."

"Late?" I frown, shaking my head. What is even going on right now? "Right, I have to meet Finn. I'm sorry, Asher. I don't know what came over me."

Asher shakes his head. "Don't even worry about it, Sophia. It's very obvious that you and Chase are a little possessive over one another. I should've known better than to pull him away."

He's not wrong. I do feel possessive over Chase, and it's obvious that he had felt the same way when we'd met Michael. It has to have something to do with the fact that we're both omegas, right? But why? Ugh, I don't even have time for this thought process right now.

"Yeah, I guess so." I give them a small smile. A part of me wants to kiss them or hug them, but after that, I'm almost afraid to. Maybe I can discuss it with Finn? Maybe he has some ideas? Ugh, if not, at least I can explain how I embarrassed myself.

"I enjoyed our date, Sophia." Asher smiles. "It's not a date I would've put together, but I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you."
