I can pull the same trick as Rhett. I have a devastating ass too.

When I turn back to Paige, however, she doesn’t comment on my performance, but instead, grabs Luca’s hand.

“But what about my Alpha?” She yanks him against her side.

Luca looks bewildered at the attention. “I’ll take the outside. Clothed. I like being close to you, Omega. I just prefer not to be surrounded by people when doing it. You’re all alarmingly tactile, especially Angel in his sleep.”

I shrug. “I’m a cuddler.”

Paige glances between us. “Looks like we fit together like a real pack.”

I stiffen.

It does.

Rhett catches my gaze in warning.

I force myself not to say anything, as much as my heart is beating with desperate want, as Luca leads Paige to the bed.

“Does the nest meet your high standards, Omega?” Luca asks. I don’t miss the vulnerability that he attempts to hide behind his shuttered expression. “I studied online courses about the best methods. But it’s the first nest I’ve built. My next one will be better.”

“This one is perfect because you made it for me.” Paige gives Luca’s hand a final squeeze before letting go.

Luca lies on the edge of the nest, smiling with pride.

Rhett pulls Paige by her shoulder to face him, settling her so close that her breasts are pressed against his chest, and their hips are touching.

How the hell isn’t he hard?

How does he have that level of self-control?

Or is all of this only play for him? Is it only Luca and me who are falling for Paige?

Because I know Luca, and I have never seen him like this around an Omega before. He may not have worked out his feelings yet, but abandoning anyone is going to hurt him more than this will hurt me.

I bite my lip.

Was it selfish to ask this of him?

I never guessed that Luca would become attached.

Rhett wraps his arms over Paige’s shoulder, and she rests her arms around his waist.

They are so close, staring into each other’s eyes.

My heart hurts.

I crawl onto the bed, settling behind Paige.

My cock is at half-mast.

How could it not be when I am this close to the gorgeous, naked Omega?

When I am in her bed for the first time?

Carefully, I don’t lie too close to Paige. I don’t want her to know how much she is affecting me, if she can feel my hardness against her ass.

Yearning aches through me.
