Page 97 of Bliss & Her Idols

The tips of Jin’s ears redden. He looks delighted, as if he isn’t a rock star who is used to being applauded.

“You really like my tricks…?” He sounds heartbreakingly unsure.

“You’re great at magic,” I reply. “I remember seeing it on your vlogs.”

Jin’s ears redden further. “Shit, you’re watching those…? I kind of thought that nobody was. It’s strange being filmed all the time. I’ve never seen them myself. I try to sneak in things that I love, in between Zoe’s cruel games. Zero showed me how to play card games. I self-taught myself magic from that.”

“Zero taught me to play guitar.” Torin looks down. “He’s an incredible friend.”

Sadness flashes across Jin’s face.

“He’s a badass.” Then Jin’s expression brightens, before he holds out the muffin to me. “I’d heard that chocolate tasted sweet but not that it was almost as good as a fucking orgasm.”

“It is,” Cricket agrees, chirping. “Before Bee, I had no idea that food could taste this good either. I mean, that people ate it not only because they were hungry. Can we both handfeed her?”

My heart shatters at not only the implication that Jin has never been allowed chocolate before, but also that for very different reasons, Cricket hasn’t either.

I want to make sure that from this day on neither men go without food.

They’ll never starve again.

Torin raps hard on the side of the couch. “Journalist, anamchara.”

That was a definite warning.

Jin’s smile fades. “Pack, Charming.”

Torin pretends to busy himself by taking another sip of his tea.

Cricket grips Jin’s chin, kissing him gently.

When Cricket finally draws back and purrs, Jin looks like he would do anything to keep him purring forever.

“You’re safe with us,” Cricket says. “We’re helping you. I’ll never forget that you stayed up for an entire day and two nights,caring for the rest of us. You were unbelievable. He had the hotel deliver new bedding and stuff, Bee.” Cricket turns to catch my gaze, clasping his hand around Jin’s to break the muffin in half. “Charming and I gave you a bath and did your hair. Then we dressed you. We thought that it would feel nice to wake up clean. Does it?”

I smile. That’s thoughtful.

Every other heat, I’ve woken up covered in sticky, dried slick and cum, then needed to shower and scrub myself clean.

I feel treasured.

I especially appreciate that Cricket has done this for me, since he’s a Non-heat and doesn’t have experience to draw from himself.

Some Non-heat Omegas would have found it too hard to help another Omega through their heat. Cricket has put my needs first, however, and supported me.

Jin passes half of the muffin to Cricket.

I push myself to sit up against the headboard. “This is true luxury. Thanks. Bring it closer. If I’m denied coffee, this Omega needs her chocolate.”

“I really do love a woman who takes charge.” Jin winks, holding his portion of the muffin up to my lips at the same time as Cricket does his.

I take a deliberate bite of the muffin held in Jin’s hand and then Cricket’s.

They both look delighted, when I moan at the sweet, gooey taste.

“Delicious,” I mumble around the mouthful, giving a thumbs up.

“I should be thanking you.” Jin watches happily, as I devour the rest of the muffin, wiping the remaining crumbs from my lips. “Since I’ve met you, I’ve been the happiest that I’ve been in years. That I’veeverbeen. I’ve never spent a heat with anyone orbeen treated like I was worth more than the money I could bring someone. Hey, look at me. I even have one Omega on my lap, while I handfeed another one. What a playboy.”
