I thought it over but I could only shrug.
“I have no idea. He knows what we are thanks to the pool washing off our de-scenting spray, but he didn’t say a word. I’m sure he has his own reservations. Hell, this job is a huge hurdle between us.”
“This job is there regardless,” he argued. “He’s not your boss. You don’t have to keep your distance from all of us because of that.”
“I know,” I agreed. “And I’m not going to. I’ve always felt that living authentically is the best choice, and I don’t want to change now.”
Silence fell between us but it was comfortable. We sat side by side, listening to the music and glancing out at the other players. The room was starting to empty out a bit now that it was creeping toward midnight.
We could have joined the fire outside or the other tables, but I wasn’t ready to share Kota with anyone.
Having him this close, breathing him in, had my omega perking up. He was being every bit the gentleman, but I truly didn’t need or want him to be.
I’d decided that I wanted him and now my omega was ready to have him.
I shifted closer, hooking my leg over his and straddling his hips.
He froze before a hungry smile spread on his lips. Those dark eyes bored into me as if he was trying to see through my clothes.
“Well, well, little bat. I see we changed our mind after all?” he teased.
Before he could say anything else, I pressed my lips to his. He let out a low groan as he kissed me back, our scents swelling.
We absolutely shouldn’t still be down here but as I shifted, my pussy lined up perfectly with the bulge of his cock, electricity shocking through me as I rocked my hips.
I moaned into the kiss, his fingers finding the back of my neck and tilting my head slowly so he could deepen it.
Kota tasted like the cocktails we’d had after dinner, sweet and tart and mixed with the incredible warmth of his scent, I was losing it.
This delta lit a fire under my skin, and it was burning through me, demanding that I give it more.
We needed to leave. Now.
“Do you have your own room?” I questioned.
“I do,” he husked, breaking the kiss and breathing heavily, just as affected as I was. He looked at me like I hung the moon, every bit of adoration lighting up those dark eyes of his.
He made me feel desired and powerful. Wanted in a way no one else ever had. I had no idea how much I craved that in my pack.
“Take me up to your room, delta. I need you.”
“You want my knot, little bat?” he asked as he nipped at my throat.
“More than anything.”
He didn’t bother being subtle about it as he stood, forcing me to wrap my legs around his hips and cling to him. There were a few catcalls, but I ignored them.
The team could know who I was with. I wasn’t going to hide them.
Hell, maybe it would reassure them that I was going to give them a fair chance with my work.
The elevator ride was excruciatingly slow, but his lips found mine again. The kiss was just as intoxicating but he pulled back just enough to not let us drown in this elevator.
As soon as the elevator opened we stumbled to his room. He kicked the door closed behind us. The urgency was so strong that I was already gripping his shirt, trying to rip it over his head.
Fuck, he was perfect. His skin was a gorgeous olive tone, muscles rippling from years of hockey. My fingers trailed over the ridges of his abs before hooking into the waistband of his pants, tugging them down and freeing his cock. He kicked aside his shoes and clothes, giving me an unobstructed view of this naked delta.
I licked my lips slowly as I took in his powerful thighs, honed by years of being on the ice. My fingers teased over his skin as I slowly circled him like a shark; feather-light touches over his skin as I took in his gorgeous ass.
