“Of course,” he states sharply, the muscles in his neck tense. Without another word, he marches out of the room.

Relief crashes through me because we no longer need to leave Lucy.

Eve and Lucy are laughing. I rush to Lucy, embracing her and kissing her. Then I turn to Eve, saying, “We can’t thank you enough.”

“You can,” she says. “By taking care of my granddaughter like your life depends on it.”

“I swear it on my life.”

“God, that was intense,” Lucy finally says. “I couldn’t even talk from how anxious I felt that he’d say no. You’re amazing, Grandma.” She pulls away from my arms, and they embrace. When she returns to me, she wipes tears from her cheeks. “I’m so happy you’re not leaving me.”

“I would never,” I admit, hugging her tightly. “Nobody’s ever going to drive us away.”

An inferno seems to be pouring off her body, her breaths racing, but it’s her scent that’s thick and sweet. She’s pressing herself against me, a small moan spilling from her lips. And shit, I need to get her out of here.

“Grayson,” Eve says sternly, and I lift my gaze to hers. “Take her home, right now!”

“Agreed. Gorgeous, we need to leave.” I’m already drawing her to the door as she shudders against me, her hands fisting my shirt. Her heat is coming.

I walk her into the hallway, and her fingers crawl under my shirt. “Grayson,” she purrs my name, and my cock throbs, responding instantly to my Omega.

Right, worst place ever for this, with the hall still full of commotion and the police.

“I’ve got you,” I whisper, then sweep an arm under her knees, the other across her back, and scoop her up. “Hold on to me.” And I’m on the move fast as she wraps her arms around my neck, tucking her face against me.

On the way, I nudge Wolf and whisper quickly, “She’s going into heat right now.”

Lucy moans, reaching for Wolf, tugging at his shirt, and his eyes are bulging as he leans into her. I shove him off her. “Dude, snap out of it. You and Roman finish here, and come back to the lodge as fast as fucking possible, understand? I’ll tell you everything about the parole situation later, but ‘we’re remaining’ is the summarized version.”

He’s nodding, grinning, staring at Lucy. “Fuck me, yes. I’ll be there soon, songbird.”

“And give me the keys to Ethan’s car. You can all cab it back,” I say.

He darts to Roman and returns in seconds, handing me the keys. “See you soon. Now go, go, go.” He blows her a kiss and swings back to the group, telling them they need to hurry up. Roman glances our way as Wolf leans in and whispers the news in his ear.

But I’m already speed-walking with Lucy, who’s purring, rubbing herself against me. My cock is growing harder. We’re out in the cool night, and Ethan’s blue car is in sight.

Everything’s sorting itself out for once, all the bullshit and danger, but most importantly, we aren’t being separated from our Omega.

She’s all that matters, and to me, she’ll always come first.

LUCY

Ican’t sit still in the passenger seat, the escalating heat becoming torture.

Grayson’s racing us home in the car, driving up through the mountain road, as I’m falling apart.

“I don’t know how much longer I can hold on,” I murmur, staring at how ridiculously handsome he is, which isn’t helping my situation. His thick forearm, large hand gripping the gear stick, maneuvering it aggressively. His shirt strained over his chest from all those muscles. I bite down on my lower lip, clenching my thighs together. How is a girl meant to do anything but drool near a man like Grayson?

“Just a bit more, little bird,” he says, glancing at me with that intoxicating grin.

I lean in closer to him, pressing against his arm, inhaling his scent while clawing at his shirt. “This needs to go, all of it.” Reaching over, I stroke the thick rod in his pants, unable to get enough.

He hisses. “We’re going to crash at this rate.”

But I’m too busy rubbing myself against him, bathing in his masculine smell, pushing my breasts against his arm, desperately needing all his attention.
