Walker grins. “I thought you’d say that.”

He moves so I can crawl out of my nest. Standing, I strip myself free of their clothes and toss them back in my nest to keep it smelling like them.

“You know, maybe you should stay here,” Walker murmurs, voice low and husky.

“No sex.” I point at him before going over to my dresser to get a change of clothes. “Where's this being held at? Jeans and a shirt or little black dress?”

“Country club.”

Pausing, I look at him over my shoulder. “You're kidding me, right?”

“Sadly, no.” He walks over to me. “His family arethosekinds of people, and his brother's idea of a bachelor party is golfing with the guys while the girls hang out inside getting drunk.”

“Lovely, sounds like I’d rather watch paint dry or gouge my eyes out.” I smile, batting my eyes.

“You don’t have to hang out with them,” he chuckles.

“Good, because I don’t think I’d be able to keep that no stabbing promise if I did.” Blowing out a breath, I take a step back and think. “Alright. Country club it is.”

“You really don’t haveto come,” Leroy says, looking over at me when we get to the country club.

“And you must have lost your mind too if you think I'm not going to be by your side as your Omega while you deal with these assholes. I still don’t know why you're even going. You clearly don’t like your brother.”

“I love him. I do. He’s not so bad. We just... we don’t get along. He’s an Alpha, so is my dad. My mom is an Omega. I’m the only Beta in my family.”

“What about extended family? Surely you have some Beta cousins or something?”

“I do.” He nods. “But they’re treated a lot like me. They’re not very close with anyone.”

“And how's that?” I growl, knowing I’m not going to like the answer.

“Like we’re lesser than.” He gives me a forced smile. “It is what it is.”

“It’s bullshit, is what it is,” I mutter, throwing my door open and slamming it shut. Marching my way over to his side, I open his door. “Let’s go show these fuckers just how amazing you are.”

Leroy gets out of the car and smiles down at me. “You're amazing, you know that?”

“I do.” I grin. “But please, keep reminding me.”

He chuckles, bending down to kiss my lips.

A shiver runs through me, and I moan.Now is not the time to get horny, Savvy.

Although, riding Leroy on the golf course where his stupid family can see that being a Beta is just as good as being an Alpha, sounds like fun.

“I love you, Little Monster,” he growls against my lips.

“I love you, too, Daddy.” I bite my lip, loving the way his eyes fill with heat.

It’s said in more of a playful teasing tone, but he loves it when I call him that. It’s not going to become an all the time thing, but I could have fun with it during sex for sure.

“Brat.” He nips at my lower lip.

“For you? Always.”

Heading inside the club, Leroy checks us in. I’m going to assume he has a membership if he’s able to do that, and eww, barf.

“Ready?” Leroy asks when he comes back over.
