I rolled over onto my back to look up at him.
“I guess… without Devlin here, it feels incomplete.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But he made that decision on his own.”
“I’ve never knotted an omega before,” he said, his voice a little unsteady. “What if I fuck it up? What if I lose control? What if… he should be here. He’s the pack leader, and my alpha defers to him. I…”
I sat up and ran my fingers over his jaw. “We don’t have to.”
“That’s the thing, though, he told me to do it, and now I feel compelled. I can resist it, but it’s uncomfortable.”
“That feels weird, huh? Rohan did it to me one time. I didn’t know alphas could do it to other alphas.”
“I think alphas can even do it to regular people,” he said. “Or otherwise, why would the security people have difficulty with the alphas?”
“Oh, good point.” I hadn’t thought about that. My fingers danced over his jaw. “Well… what would make it perfect besides having Devlin with us?”
“Fuck.” He groaned, lying down on the bed on his side. “I can’t even believe I’m wanting to share you with some other guy and thinking that’s perfection.”
“Maybe it’s not,” I said, wriggling in against him. “Maybe just us?” I might like that a lot. Elements of our situations corresponded for Maguire and me, both of us being commoners, both of us being thrust into this other world. I thought we were always going to have a special sort of connection.
“I’ve never been attracted to men who aren’t, uh, the alpha princes. I’m attracted to all the alpha princes.”
“Except Sinclair,” I said, teasing him.
He pulled me into his arms. “You’re really naked, you know that?”
I giggled. “I’m aware. And you are attracted to Sinclair, and you won’t admit it.”
“The first time I was in contact with them, it was a little bit disconcerting,” he said. “It didn’t really bother me, you know? Sometimes, I think men are terrified of having homosexual attraction, but I was never afraid of what it meant about my own identity. I was afraid of what other people would think about it, though, I have to admit. I was afraid of some of my more close-minded friends.”
“They don’t sound like real friends, then.”
“Yeah.” He nodded. “Good point. But anyway, after that, I started looking at men, waiting for it to happen again? I figured, ‘Okay, I must be bisexual.’ But… it’s women and them, if you know what I mean.”
I touched his chest. “Huh. I don’t know if I can entirely relate. I think other women are attractive in an objective way, but I don’t know if I’ve ever felt attracted to one. I would be, though. I’d be open to it. Sounds interesting.”
He laughed. “I’m sure no one would want to thwart your natural curiosity, Eleri.”
“But I think the four of you are going to keep me pretty busy.”
“You’re an omega. I understand omegas are insatiable.”
“Right, insatiable,” I said. “And here I am, very naked, and you’re keeping your knot in your pants.”
“Oh, I thought you wanted to know my romantic history and all about me. I thought we were going to get to know each other. But I see how it is. I’m just a piece of meat to you.”
I cringed, but I was laughing. He was teasing me. “A very hot piece of meat. I can’t help it. You’d distract anyone. How am I supposed to concentrate when you smell the way you do?”
He rolled on top of me.
I sighed.
He tugged off his shirt.
“Better,” I said, running my hands up and down his bare chest. Maguire was burly and muscled. He rippled in the most mesmerizing of ways. He gave new meaning to the word sculpted.
“Anyway, you know what I realized?” He kissed me.
