Page 117 of Party Girl: How a Naughty Omega Finds Love
I stiffen at first then turn and hug him back. It still feels a little funny, but I don’t hate it.
“Part of me thinks I’m dreaming and you guys are all figments of my imagination. Or maybe Curtis drugged me.” I pinch his arm.
“Ow.”
“Just checking.”
His chest rumbles with a laugh and he holds me tight. “So long as I’m living and breathing, I’ll be here.”
“Thanks, Avi.”
A few seconds later, I reluctantly pull away and return to the stove. Dinner is almost ready, and the guys will be here any minute. I count to one hundred in my head to avoid any memories.
I’ll try out one of Avi’s suggestions tonight.

“Damn this is good,” Asher mumbles around a mouthful.
They got home a little later, so they’re all still wearing their blues. As promised, Avi’s phone lit up with a text to let us know what happened and when they thought they’d get home. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but I liked knowing what was going on. I would have been worried if they’d all been late. Avi grabbed everyone a drink, sensing they needed them after a long day.
“Thanks. How was work?”
Asher shakes his head. “Don’t ask.”
Oh. I wrinkle my forehead. I didn’t think the relationship was going to be like this.
“Asher,” Trev says softly. I glance at him but he’s looking at the other alpha. He stabs his fork in my direction.
Asher looks up from his plate. “I didn’t mean you couldn’t ask. It was a shit show, and I’m annoyed with the world.”
“Have you heard about the protests going on?” Trev asks.
Nodding, I take a drink of beer. Lindsey had gone to a few. As an omega, I never felt safe going, though I sort of agree with what the low packs are pushing for. The Royal Council purposefully makes laws to keep the purebred alpha packs ahead of the rest of us. Elitism at its finest.
“We spent half the day downtown making sure the Royal Council felt secured.”
“Assholes,” I mutter.
“Sounds about right. I hate them.” Asher takes a sip of his beer.
“Me too,” Hayden says. “They don’t give two shits—”
Trev sighs and sets his fork down. “Can we talk about something else?”
“Avi likes to color porn.”
“Damn, spilling my secrets.” Avi sends me a wink.
“He showed you those?” Hayden chuckles.
“Yeah. He especially liked the pegging scene.”
Trev snorts and drinks his beer.
“Don’t kink shame me,” Avi teases.
“I told you I would happily do it to you if that’s what you want.”
