“You don’t smell like an omega.”

He growls, and I hear the fierce bite of an alpha in his tone. “I’m not. I’m both.”

My eyes widen as he pulls me roughly up against his body. “You’re both?”

“I’m not your omega,” Bailey says with a growl. “ButI amyour alpha.”

I let out a squeak. He swallows the sound and grips my ass cheeks, kneading them roughly before he pulls me up off my feet. I can’t tear myself away from him.

What happened to my self-control? What happened to reason and logic and principles?

He tastes so good. I want to wrap myself around him and never let go. Fire sizzles in my blood enough that I abruptly remember who the hell I am. I pull away and step back, holding out a hand warily when Edric moves towards me.

“Do not even think about it!”

He cocks his head to the side and reaches into his pocket, pulling out hand sanitizer.

“That’s not even, you!” I let out a half shrieking growl, furious at my splutters. “Stay away from me! All of you!”

Kingston walks out with his jeans low on his hips. He’s still half naked with a huge expanse of bronze skin and hard muscles. I swallow hard, my thoughts evaporating.

Can I lick him?

Kingston flexes and winks at me. I shake my head, trying to free myself from his spell.

“Stop it!” I growl.

“It’s not my fault you’re horny. If you want a hand, any one of us can help you. We can even have sex with you and get it over with, as you said.”

I wince. “I’ve changed my mind.”

“Have you?” Edric asks. “Why? Are you worried? We’d be extra careful with you, Selene.”

I groan. “I know you can all fuck. I got to hear it!”

Mael sits up on the seat he’s slouching on. “Oh, that would be so frustrating. Come here, crazy, and we can make you feel better.”

I turn, trying to keep them all in view, but it’s Bailey I forget about, and he’s the one that pounces, pressing up against my back. He grabs my hair and holds me tight.

“If you need help, we can help you. We would love to help you. I could spend all night on my knees, if you like.”

I moan as he scrapes his teeth over the shell of my ear.

“Bailey?”

“Yes, beautiful omega?”

“You should stop.” I know there’s a reason why I need him to stop, but I can’t think of anything.

“Why?”

Why? Why indeed. I don’t know why, I can’t think of a single reason why I shouldn’t just take every single one of these alphas to bed and give up everything that I’ve wanted to give to him.

“Mael, are you here?”

I jerk myself free of Bailey and put several feet between us.

Luna bounces in and stops when she sees me. Her eyes frost over, but she turns to Mael and grips his arm, running her hand along it.
