He takes a literal step back and nods. “Okay. So, I picked Tiny up and told Gus off and I followed him to his room, where he shut the door in my face, but then I heard the front door close, and I went to the hallway window so I could watch Scarlett leave. Well, she left. As soon as she got to the end of the driveway, she stopped, dropped her purse and poured a bottle of water over her head.”
“That’s … a little weird.”
“It’s a good sign, though, right?”
“I don’t know, Rueben.”
“Well, I do,” he insists, stroking the kitten’s head.
“I think maybe we should sit her down and talk to her tomorrow. Let her know exactly what we’re thinking and find out how she feels about it.”
He frowns at me. “If you want to scare her off, sure. She just got through a bad break-up and you know what she’s like. She’s not exactly open at the best of times.”
“I know, but she was blowing hot and cold with Scout today, and I think if she’s still trying to deny what she’s feeling, we’re going to scare her off anyway.”
“Oh,” he murmurs. “Well, then maybe.”
“We can talk about it over dinner. Scout’s finishing up his workout. You can play with the cat in the kitchen if you clean up after you put him back in his pen.”
“Sounds good,” Rueben says, following me into the kitchen.
Chapter forty
Sapphire
The dreams I have because of those men … I don’t remember much when I wake up, but it feels like my body enjoyed every second. I’m so hot and bothered when I step into the shower that I can’t resist the urge to slip a hand between my legs. It barely takes a few seconds of touch to make me cry out.
I clamp my hand over my mouth after, disturbed by how loud and needy that cry sounded.
My pussy throbs as I take my fingers away from my clit. It doesn’t feel like I just sated an urge. It feels like I’ve barely awoken a deep craving that might never be satisfied.
I ignore the temptation to touch myself some more.
I can tell it’s not going to help.
It doesn’t matter how many times I make myself come.
What I really need is something only an Alpha can give.
Oh, God. I must be ready to go into heat.
Being around those Alphas, getting so close to them …
My suppressants have been working, but feeling this way, I should be taking more.
I lectured Scarlett for not taking them, and here I am playing loose and fast with mine.
If I want my Omega side to stay buried, I need to triple the normal dosage, and I need to start now.
I finish up in the shower and I take my triple dose before I do anything else.
Eating a nut bar and then getting dressed, I tell myself I can do this.
Five more days. That’s nothing.
I throw on light blue underwear, and then I grab another plain band shirt and the last pair of Scarlett’s comfy jeans. I steal a blue pair of Converse, because that’s totally my color.
I leave off the lipstick and I tell myself I can go over there without feeling anything for any of these guys. Sure, they’re hot, and maybe they’re also sweet, cute, thoughtful, considerate …
