Page 36 of Caged Between the Beta & Alpha
I knew he tried to hold off on smoking inside when kids were around, even if the smoke still travelled, but hey, at least he tried.
“I’m going to head out, too. See you all tomorrow,” Liam said with a small nod. I knew it was because I got up.
Al looked between both of us but said nothing, turning back to Uncle El. The two of them were friends, a bond that was first forged by their link to Alpha Rafael… a bond that was still in existence. My heart ached as I looked at them, and I suddenly felt very upset. Life was short; what were we doing?
I didn’t speak to Liam, even when he reached over and opened the door for me. We both silently made our way back to the packhouse.
“We still need to talk,” I said the moment we were inside.
“Hmm,” he said emotionlessly. I frowned, looking up into those cerulean eyes of his.
“Liam, you’ve changed,” I said quietly. He looked away, and my heart ached a little more. Where was that compassionate, loving Liam?
“Good night, Raven,” he said quietly, walking off towards the stairs.
I sighed, deciding to grab a water bottle before I headed upstairs. I could hear some of the guys in the game room and someone watching TV, but the kitchen was dark. The smell of freshly mopped floors and detergent filled my nose. I liked the smell. It was so clean.
I tiptoed to the fridge, hoping I didn’t ruin the floor that the omegas must have just cleaned and grabbed a bottle from the fridge. I was about to close it when I saw a shadow of someone walking past behind me. My heart leapt, and I jumped, spinning around only to see a young omega girl holding a mop.
“Goddess!” I muttered, placing my hand on my chest.
“Sorry, Miss,” she said nervously. She looked startled too. She was slim and of average height, her hair up in a messy bun.
“Hey, it’s cool. Damn, I just didn’t hear you,” I said, flashing her a smile. She smiled, looking relieved.
“Oh, sorry, I was just going to put the mop away,” she said, holding it up and brushing back a strand of her straw-coloured locks.
“Sure, carry on. I’m sorry if I messed your floor up,” I said apologetically. She smiled and shook her head.
“It’s fine, it gets dirty quickly anyway.”
I left the kitchen thinking that since the murders, I felt on edge. Even then, I couldn’t get the images out of my head. I knew, just like yesterday, those eyeless corpses would haunt my dreams…
I stepped intomy bedroom with a small towel wrapped around me, towelling my hair with a second towel when I froze, seeing both Damon and Liam standing there. Arms crossed, both shirtless, their gazes fixed on me. My heart was racing as I stared at them. What the hell was going on?
“What…” My words died on my lips when they both approached me.
Liam pulled me close, sending sparks rushing through me. Those were only heightened when I felt the heat of Damon’s body behind me. His fingers grazed up my thigh, sending off rivets of pleasure. I gasped. What was happening?
“Don’t think so hard, beautiful. Relax…” Liam murmured. Reaching down, he threaded his fingers into my hair, tugging my head up. With his other hand, he ripped my towel off, making my eyes fly open, but before I could even say anything, his lips met mine in a delicious kiss.
I sighed softly against his lips, feeling Damon’s hands cup my breasts. My cheeks heated up, unable to comprehend both men closing in on me and caging me between their muscular bodies. Fuck…
My core throbbed, my lips moving against Liam’s hungrily, his touch dominating, hungry, possessive…. Damon flicked my hardened nipples, his lips meeting my neck and sucking hard just as Liam’s hand slipped between my legs. Goddess! The pleasure that was coursing through me was dizzying when suddenly, someone was knocking on my door.
Go away…
Liam’s tongue slipped into my mouth as Damon squeezed my breasts, biting into-
“Raven?”
My eyes snapped open, and I jolted upright in bed, my heart pounding. I looked around my room. My cheeks were burning, my entire body was tingling, and my core was throbbing.
“Oh, Goddess…” I groaned, burying my face in my hands, mortified. I just had such a naughty dream. Dammit! I mean, I don’t even have a bathroom in here! Urgh, why hadn’t I realised it was a dream?
“Raven?” Wasn’t that Taylor?
“W-what?” I called out, still sounding breathless. There was no training today, what did he want?
