“Hey there, California,” Elias purred. In all the frenzy, I’d almost forgotten how gorgeous he was, and traced the outlines of his jaw with my fingers while I sat on his lap.

“Are you going to fuck me?” I asked. I took one of his hands and guided it down my pants.

He jerked it away quickly, and I watched his Adam’s apple bob in his throat. “I want to, more than anything, but you’ll hate me if I do. Why don’t you tell me about your fiancé instead?”

Mike? Why should I think about him? I didn’t want to think about the dick that was too far away, I wanted to ride the dicks that were right here! And they hadknots!

Elias purred again, and I took a deep breath, trying to focus. “Mike… we met in Palo Alto. He’s in tech. He works at a start-up.”

Camden snorted from the driver’s seat. “Figures…” he muttered.

Elias ignored him. “What does he look like?”

Why was it so hard to conjure up his image? Every time I tried to think of the love of my life, one of the three men in the truck popped up instead. I reached back further, recalling the way he looked on the day he had proposed.

“He’s tall, with black hair and pale skin. His eyes… they’re beautiful.”

I remembered him now. He was gorgeous, too, and amazing in bed. Another stream of liquid came out of me and Elias tensed, moaning softly.

“Dude!” Camden yelled. “Why are you trying to get her turned on? I’m going to crash.”

Elias closed his eyes, his breathing shallow. “Sorry, I thought… it was an experiment. It failed. I know better now.”

I should have been embarrassed by how wet I was, it looked like I had peed my pants. But for some reason all it did was turn me on more. I quickly maneuvered myself around Elias so I was straddling him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and started grinding myself against his hardened cock, and he pursed his lips.

“Guys, I don’t think I’m going to make it,” he said, his voice strained.

I wasn’t either – because if I didn’t get fucked soon, I was pretty sure I was going to die.

All the windows in the truck lowered completely and I cried out from the sudden blast of cold air. Elias pulled me in tightly so I couldn’t move and began purring loudly.

My grinding stopped, and I relaxed into his embrace.

“Sweet Moon, thank you,” he whispered.

The smell of bergamot reminded me of Earl Grey tea, and I let out a satisfied sigh as I closed my eyes.

“That’ll be $456.79.”

I tapped my card against the chip reader and grinned at the cashier. I hadn’t stopped grinning since I’d gotten the call from Cam.

She eyed the groceries amused. “Stocking up?”

“Yeah, you never know in a storm like this,” I chuckled. I started packing everything carefully, making sure to put the meat in different bags than the Oreos and Sour Patch Kids.

After loading everything in the trunk, I set out for Cam’s cabin. On a good day, it took two hours to get there from Maiingan Hollow, but in a storm like this? I’d be lucky to make it by dawn.

I cracked open one of the energy drinks I’d just bought and turned the volume on the stereo way up, blasting my road trip playlist.

Anomega. I was still reeling from the news. Linden’s daughter was an omega – unbonded from the sound of it, and going through her first heat. And we were the lucky alphas to help her out.

Well, not in the way I wanted to. My cock was already hard and I willed it to calm down.

I didn’t even know what she looked like yet, for Moon’s sake. Or if she was cool, or even wanted any of us. And we certainly weren’t going to take advantage of her just for the experience.
