Anest! A nest! My new alpha has a nest!
When Serena put me on the ground beside the pile of blankets and pillows, I nearly burst into tears of joy.
It was huge, way bigger than the leather couch in Logan’s den, and it was tucked into the corner in a sun-drenched room.
And it wasn’t just a pile of dirty laundry and pillows hastily thrown on the ground. It was embedded into the floor, a pit of cushions and minky fabric, and it smelled, oh Gods, it smelled.
Honey and hazelnut and coffee and cinnamon and chai.
It took every ounce of self-control I had to not roll around in the nest in a feeble attempt to soak up every scent it had to offer.
But thenhehad to speak.
“No clothing in the nest, it’s Skye’s only rule, and he’s so graciously sharing it with you.” Vinny explained.
I turned back to glare at him, but Vinny was in the process of taking his shirt off, and, well, I was easy to impress, I guess.
Vinny tossed the garment over his shoulder with ease, revealing a chest that would have made most Gods envious. Muscles shifted under his tanned skin, moving the plethora of black tattoos etched into his torso. The perfect amount of hair poked out from Vinny’s jeans and crawled up his stomach.
I blinked once. And then twice.
And, well, Skyewasnice, and it washisrule, but… Vinny wasn’t allowed to boss me around. So, while I would get naked, I’d do it onmyown terms.
I looked him dead in the eye before stomping up to him.
“What?” He asked, stepping out of his jeans.
I pointed to the hem of my shirt.
“Uh, yeah, that needs to come off?” He snorted and removed his boxers.
I was a lady, so I didn’t look, even if I really wanted to.
Instead, I stomped my foot and pointed again, more aggressively this time.
Vinny paused, his brows rising as he stared at me. “I’m not letting an omega boss me around, especially a silent one.”
My eyes flicked to Serena, who was already naked and sat on the edge of the nest.
Her gaze met mine, and she smiled.
“Come here, Little Omega, if he won’t help, I will.” she crooned.
I stomped my foot again, harder this time.
I didn’twantSerena’s help, she was safe. She wouldn’t hurt me.
But Vinny might.
And that’s exactly why he had to do it.
For the last two years, I’d let Logan boss me around and leave me miserable, and I’d be damned if I let another male alpha feel like he could control me.
“I’m not doing this,” he said firmly. “If you want to feel better, you’ll do as I say, capisce?”
I put my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes.
“Come on Vinny, just do it,” Serena hissed from behind me.
