“It’s always such a relief when they’re like that,” Athena says. “The ones who are tougher… you worry about them. But you always work wonders.”
This man smells like bourbon, spicy cloves, and honey. It reminds me of warming myself on a cold winter morning, and my heart starts to race in a way it never has before.
My throat goes dry and my skin feels too tight.
Nobody can know what I really am. Ever.
He’ll do anything to protect his pack. I think sometimes people don’t appreciate him because they think he’s too stereotypical for an Alpha, all bite and no bark, not great with words, just ‘muscle.’
Sometimes people make the mistake of thinking Caleb is insecure because he’s so quiet. Garrett never has a problem speaking his mind, Ethan wouldn’t know how to keep a thought to himself if you paid him, and I’m pretty damn opinionated myself. But Caleb’s silence isn’t a lack of confidence. Far from it. He just knows the value of waiting for just the right thing to say.
I can’t slip up. I can’t be discovered.
I love my coworkers and consider them friends, so I wish like hell that I could be just as excited. I wish I wasn’t filled with fear.
Maybe it’s just my anxiety, but I can’t shake the feeling that this is a bad idea. That something is going to go wrong.
It makes sense that after so many years of suppressing my Omega side, now that it’s out it’s gone into overdrive. I’d probably be going this crazy for just about any Alpha.
He smells like freshly baked pie, like wood burning in a fireplace, and like a glass of sweet apple cider to wash it all down. Like pure, homespun safety.
How would he kiss me? Would it be flirty and teasing, the same way he talks? Or would it be hard and ravenous?
Well, you’ll never figure out a plan if you don’t go downstairs and talk to them,
“You’re clearly someone who values her independence,” he murmurs. “It takes a lot of inner strength to go it alone the way you have. Whatever happens, I believe that you’ll be able to find the life you want for yourself.” I wipe at my eyes.
We’ve never shared a woman before, but somehow, it doesn’t bother me at all to see my pack mate kissing Ava. In fact, it makes a kind of satisfaction rise inside me,
He’s easing her discomfort, giving her pleasure, and I like that a lot. Making Ava feel good feels… right.
It’s unlike anything I’ve felt before. And while I try to deny it in my mind, my body knows the truth.
A low purr starts up in the back of Dante’s throat. “Do you have any idea what your scent does to me?”
Nobody’s going to just steal me and take away my freedom. This is my choice. I hope.
It warms me to know that this isn’t just an attraction to them. They’re serious about this relationship, about courting me.
“I got scents that complement the way you smell to me,” he murmurs, his voice dropping a little, turning low and husky. “Citrus to go with the vanilla and strawberry, and something like fresh rain to go with the lilac.”
“Fuck. You’re wet,” he groans, slipping a finger inside me. “Of course I am.” I try to smile teasingly at him, but it’s hard when my eyes are about to roll back in my head. “I’m in the bath.”
Some part of me that’s always felt cold and empty doesn’t feel that way anymore, and I know it’s because of these four Alphas whose lives I crashed into. And I want to give this courtship between us a real chance.
All I know is that I feel cared for, and cozy, and safe.
to put on him. “They wanted me to pick someone wealthy and connected. My parents don’t seem to care about anything except wealth and connections.”
Everything’s irritating me. It’s too cold, then it’s too hot. Nothing tastes good. I’m hungry, but I’m not hungry, and I don’t want to eat. I can’t find anything I want to do. I prowl around the house like a ghost or a restless cat.
The nesting has begun.
don’t want to interrupt his day. This is silly, I should be fine. I already picked out these curtains. I know that I should still like them, in theory. But I’m just so upset about it. I can’t make myself calm down.
I feel irrational and out of control.
already wanted to protect her, but now it’s like a fire in my blood, even stronger than before. She will never have to fear Marcus again. The other Alphas and I will make sure of it.
The idea of getting out of the house is nice, and I want to stay close to Dante after yesterday. I want to stay close to all four men if possible, but Dante is the one I felt the most unstable with yesterday, even though things are better now.
No. While my heat is finished, I do still want to savor the closeness with them, and have them touching
“Hell no. You did all that cooking for her heat, and we ate you out of house and home. It’s our turn.”
“We all knew they were bound to wait until they could find someone really special.”
It’s the best and the worst thing in the world that these men are so deeply attuned to me, I think as my pulse quickens.
There’s no second-guessing. No worry. No fear. I just trust them, and believe them.
I can take my time waking up. My body feels heavy, but content. I actually don’t think I’ve ever felt so happy in my life.
When I read romance novels, the feeling of being in love was often described as something that made you feel light and bubbly, like you could float. For me, waking up like this, I feel the opposite. Not heavy in a bad way, but rather grounded. Secure.
Loving you is natural. It’s just who we are.”
Despite how busy we’ve been, we’re all glad that the product is finally launching. My Alphas are so proud of it, and I’m so proud of them.
