It’s crazy to think a scent could have that kind of effect on someone like me.
“It was kind of shocking,” Scarlett admits.
“Have you ever met an Omega?” I ask, knowing it’s unlikely.
She blinks at me and shakes her head slowly. “Uh, no. Where would I have met one? Aren’t they all in Omega Academies, or something?”
“I guess they don’t really present until their late teens or early twenties, so neither of us probably would have known if we met one in high school, or whatever.”
She nods. “That’s true.”
“Not that I’m interested in Omegas,” I add, making sure she doesn’t think I’m considering what it would be like to be with one.
She’s our fated mate. That’s way more important than making a rare biological match.
I couldn’t care less if my kids are Betas or Alphas. I just want to make sure I have them with the right person, and this woman standing in front of me now is that person.
She’s my forever, and she doesn’t seem to know it.
Dropping her gaze, she goes back to cleaning.
“So, what kind of TV shows do you actually like to watch?”
“I don’t really watch a lot of TV.”
“So, you read, then? Or …”
“Sometimes, I read. A lot of the time, I work.”
I probably should have guessed that. She’s a creative, and I’ve overheard her making a lot of ambitious comments in the past. Of course she’s focussed on her music. It’s her passion.
Even if it doesn’t seem like it right now.
She hasn’t been singing at all since she’s been here.
If she hadn’t just gone through a breakup, I might be wondering why.
“Maybe I could go get Tiny Tempest after we’re done in here,” I suggest. “I think he misses you when you’re not around.”
That gets a laugh out of her, and her smile sticks around after. “Yeah, sure. Why not?”
“Great.” I can’t keep the grin from my face.
She’s definitely ready to fall for me.
My tiny accomplice will make sure she does.
Chapter forty-four
Sapphire
I shouldn’t have let Rueben help me clean. He’s not just a hot redhead with a cute smile. He’s also so damn sweet and his enthusiasm is seriously contagious. It’s a potent combination that I’m having a really hard time trying to ignore.
He grins when I say yes to taking a break to play with his foster kitten, and, when I glance up while I’m mopping, I catch him watching me with a longing look in his bright green eyes.
What I’m doing is hardly sexy, and I know I’m not looking my best, but I can feel his desire when I gaze back at him. He’s so full of longing that he aches with it.
For a split second I feel it as if it’s my own.
