Adrian claps his hands, not letting too much silence pass between us, ensuring that my mind doesn’t wander. “You should open our gift from Pack Carlisle.”

I can’t imagine exactly what they would send us, considering we haven’t made the formal engagement announcement. And now I’m curious. I’ve only met the mayor of San Francisco a handful of times, and he was more interested in mom and her fertility. A magical womb everyone hoped she passed on to us.

I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Adrian gets up and slides all the packages over. “It looks like I was wrong about them shipping your belongings. The rest of these are from your sisters.”

“And Emma,” Leo adds, peering at the packages.

I remember that Emma had mentioned she and my sisters sent me some things. “Which one is from Emma?”

“It’s the big one.” Adrian gives the box a shake, and something rattles inside.

“Put that one back. I know my best friend, and I don’t think I want to open it in front of you guys.” Blush blooms across my cheeks, and I peek up at them as they stare at me.

“Now you have to, dirty girl. I want to see what you’re afraid of. Lingerie?” Leo chuckles and snatches the box from Adrian, shaking it. “No, definitely not clothing. Sounds like...a big ass dick.”

Oh, my fucking God.

“Why on earth would her friend send her a sex toy?” Ezra asks, hugging me from behind.

“The same reason she sent me porn,” I mutter under my breath. “Why don’t you hand me Sapphire’s first?” Hers might be the safest bet. Maybe Cyan’s. They wouldn’t want to send something that would create a bad impression for themselves in front of my pack. Raven is a bit unpredictable. Violet’s could be safe as well, but she might just send a bunch of baby clothes or even aphrodisiacs. Depends on her mood.

I use one of the knives to cut through the tape and pull out a tissue-wrapped box with a sticker from my favorite bakery in San Francisco. Everyone watches me in silence as I pull it out and set it on the table. I tear the tissue and discover a handwritten card.

Congratulations on your new pack! Enjoy the peen party! —Sapphire

P.S. Emma demanded a specific theme.

Heat burns my cheeks as I open the bakery box, revealing five penis-shaped cookies and one vagina with a pearl candy as the clit. Fucking Sapphire, for going along with Emma.

“Damn, I never thought I’d want a cock in my mouth.” Leo hovers over me, snatching a cookie from the box. “Here, my dirty girl. Take the first bite.”

Ah, hell.

My mouth automatically opens for Leo, my shock turning me into a robot. I take a small bite, humming as sweetness crosses my tongue. Sapphire is so lucky these are delicious. Reaching up, I lock my fingers around Leo’s wrist and bring the cookie back to my mouth.

“I’m going to need more than just the tip,” I murmur, snapping my teeth hard to the sugar cookie.

“Damn.” Dominic cocks his head at me, watching me devour the cookie.

Adrian chuckles. “Those look absolutely delectable. May I have one, Scarlett?” He’s always been a bit formal with me.

“Make him eat a dick,” Leo says, chuckling.

I laugh in exasperation, resting my head against Ezra’s shoulder. “When you put it like that...”

“It wouldn’t be the first time.” Adrian lifts up a cookie, eating it in a couple of bites. His words swirl through my mind, and I wonder about them. He winks at me, daring me to speak my mind. I’m more curious than anything. It’s not like it’s uncommon. There are five of them and only one me, and I’ve seen some sword-crossing action in porn. It’s hot.

And now it’s on my mind.

“That’s intriguing,” I say, my face burning. “Have you guys...” I grin, my heart racing.

“Careful, Adrian. You might make our omega jealous with those confessions,” Ezra warns, kissing my neck like he can’t help himself.

Adrian inhales a breath. “Her scent says otherwise.” He shakes his head and moves closer, kissing my hair. “I’ll answer whatever you want to know. You never have to be shy with me, Scarlett. Plus, someone will thank me when your heat comes, considering there are five of us and one of you.”

My heart skips a beat, his honesty and boldness getting to me in a good way. Many packs explore their sexuality together, and it’s just something I haven’t thought about until this moment. Dampness warms between my legs just thinking about it.
