“He’s averyattentive lover. There were a couple of jobs I did solo where he was playing nearby and I found him and…”

“Climbed him like a tree?” I giggled. I had no idea. “Wait, wait, you’ve mentioned this. Like I thought they were different guys, but they’re all him?”

She told me about it when she hooked up with guys. I just didn’t realize someone had become a frequent fuck.

Shit. Either he wasamazingin bed, or she secretly had a thing for him.

Or both.

Her timer went off.

“Come on.” She stood.

We left the sauna and went into the cold plunge pool.

“Fuck, that’s cold,” I muttered as I tried to stay in until her timer went off. I didn’t like being cold.

It went off. Finally. I was so cold my nipples were on high alert.

“Come on, Mo Stóirín.” Taking my hand, she led me directly into the hot tub.

“This is more like it,” I said softly. The hot tub had other naked women in it, so I switched to Irish. “So… I need more info.”

“It’s just been him for some time,” she said softly, sinking into the water, her hair on top of her head.

Taking my scrunchy, I put my wet hair back up.

“Wait. For a while you kept coming back from banging guys pissed, because they wanted to keep you. Again, all him?” I asked.

“Yes.” She rubbed her temples. “He’s wanted to keep me for a while. It’s my own fault. I should have stopped it sooner.”

“If you want to pursue him, go for it. I mean, he and Carlos are besties, so it could work,” I suggested.

Saoirse let out a heavy sigh. “Alphas are for fucking only. He’s also a civilian. Sure, you Order omegas mate civilians all the time, but it’s a little more complicated for me. Could you imagine if Imarried a rockstar?”

“I’m not sure it’s against the Company’s policy. If he’s not what you want, then he’s not what you want,” I replied.

“He’s not what I want,” she said a little too quickly.

Sure.Maybe he wasn’t what she wanted. But what about what she needed?

While I wanted to keep her with me, I wasn’t such a selfish omega that I didn’t want her to have other partners.

But I knew that look and this wasn’t the time to discuss it.

“After this trip, it’s done. For good. No more hookups, and if he wrecks my job again, I won’t take any makeup dates disguised as gifts.” It sounded more like she was talking to herself than anything else.

Dates?If he thought him making things up to her were dates I could see why she’d get grumpy.

Her timer went off.

“Whatever makes you happy,” I told her as she helped me out of the hot tub. “I’ll punch him if you need me to.”

“I’m so happy I have you, Mo Stóirín.” She kissed me.

We showered off, put our robes back on, and went into the waiting room, until they called us for our massages. I curled up on the couch under a blanket. Saoirse got two cups of tea from the trolley and sat down next to me.

Leaning into her, I sipped my tea.
