She is caught inside the circle of my arms.

My Omega.

I drop my chin onto her head.

When Paige splashes water at me, I growl.

She laughs, splashing me again.

I tease her clit once more, before I punish her by sliding my hand down her thigh and then moving my arms back around her waist.

My brow quirks.

See what happens when you splash me, Omega?

Paige moans but accepts it, snuggling against me.

I feel peaceful and settled.

Have I ever felt like this before without the rut patch?

I didn’t break her.

Paige is covered in scratches, bruises, and bite marks.

But then, so am I.

After the last wild…I don’t know how many hours…we are both beautifully ruined, smeared with slick and cum.

My lips stretch into a smile around the guard in my mouth, as pride washes through me at the marks on both our bodies.

I only wish that there was a bite on both our necks, which would mean we’d chosen to bond with each other.

I frown.

Does Rhett still not want that? Will he break up our pack?

I won’t allow him to.

When Paige reaches to scrub at a patch of dried cum on her stomach, I bat away her hand.

I don’t know which of us Alphas marked her with that cum. She is covered with our scent and our claim, however, and she looks pretty.

Angel ran this bath, declaring that we needed a good wash and aftercare.

How could I hold back from rutting Paige one final time, bending her over the copper bath and holding her by her hips, while her thighs quivered?

Angel simply sighed, as I knotted her. “One final time, pretty. Then she is all mine for sweet softness and care.”

What does he mean? Didn’t I take care of her?

“The new rut patch has just arrived from the hospital.” Angel strolls back into the bathroom, holding aloft the rut patch triumphantly. “My crew member, Mia, rushed it over as fast as she could.”

He drops to kneel next to the bath. “Are you enjoying the bath? Is it warm enough, beautiful?”

Paige glances at him with a blissed-out expression. “Perfect.”

Angel strokes a strand of wet hair out of her face. “You’ve been perfect for us. Such a good Omega.”
