“I’ll text the restaurant and get them to drop off food for us so there’s plenty of snacks for her. We will have to swap out to make sure someone’s with Joey at all times. Jensen’s going to put her to bed soon, but then I have no doubt he’ll be up here.”

Gideon chuckled. “Poor fucker is probably losing his mind, being patient.”

Oh, undoubtedly. I knew I would be climbing the walls if I had to wait like he was. We were fathers first and foremost, though, so Joey had to be our priority. Thankfully, with Jensen taking the first shift, it meant that I could move my attention to the stunning blonde omega curled up on my pack mate’s chest.

“I’m going to hop in your shower and wash off the restaurant funk, okay?” I could have gone back to my own room to my own shower, but I didn’t want to be too far away from Bethany.

Internally, I was warring with myself. I wanted to help Bethany if she wanted me to help her, but we hadn’t exactly had the best relationship up until now. I had been awful to her when I was frustrated at my own lack of restraint. She had slapped me, rightfully so, and called me names, and I had accosted her.

“Yeah, go for it.”

“You sure she wants me here?” I asked softly, voicing the thought that was plaguing me.

Gideon nodded. “Yeah, when she had a moment of lucidity, we spoke, and she’s all in. All three of us.”

I exhaled, pleased with Gideon’s answer, but also surprised.

With a final nod, I hauled myself into the shower, making sure to wash myself thoroughly. The last thing I wanted to do was get the restaurant stink all over Bethany. It was hardly an appealing smell. I wanted her to enjoy my scent, not that of the back of house.

I was halfway through washing my hair when the shower curtain was pulled back and a very sleepy-looking Bethany stood there, wearing a T-shirt that clearly belonged to one of us because it was giant on her.

“Hey,” she whispered, her eyes raking over me.

“You escaped Gideon?” I asked, cocking an eyebrow.

“I’m here,” my pack mate said from the doorway.

I should have known he wouldn’t let her out of his sight.

Bethany cocked her head to the side, taking me in. I wasn’t shy; I knew I looked good, and her appreciation only served to inflate my ego further.

Was she waiting for me to get out?

Just as I was about to reach for the dial to turn the shower off, she hopped right in, plastering herself to me, T-shirt still on.

“Oh, hello.” I smiled, wrapping my arms around her as she pressed her nose into my neck. “Do I smell good?”

“She’s having a spike. She needs a knot right now, and mine is still recovering,” Gideon explained.

She hummed in agreement, her hands running over my body as she did. Naturally, I was already hard as a rock and ready to go. Simply having her in the shower, even covered in a shirt, was like a fucking wet dream. Her perfume permeated the shower as slick started to run down her thighs.

Thankfully, we were in a shower.

“What do you want?”

“Knot,” she said simply.

“Here or bed?”

She frowned for a moment. “Here. Then nest.”

I glanced at Gideon, whose eyes were widening. We hadn’t thought about a nest. Omegas needed a nest, especially when they were in heat. It was how they felt secure and comfortable.

“Turn around,” I ordered, smiling when she did as I commanded, sticking her butt out pointedly.

Lifting the damp T-shirt, I took a moment to enjoy the sight of her pert ass. How many times had I appreciated it in those tight leggings she skated in? Too many to count.

“Hands on the wall, omega,” I growled as my lips found her back, sucking on the skin there. Fuck, I wanted to bite her, but for now, I was going to make do with leaving my marks all over her body.
