“Because my companions eagerly went after your friends, and if they hadn’t caught scent of their heat, they would be in the car with us.”
She blinked. “Oh, shit. I have to warn them.”
He grabbed her arms and held her close. “You invited them in, and they decided to help you. They are your friends. They would know the effect you have on other omegas.”
“My sister would; Sabine would not.”
He chuckled. “That was your sister? Even better. Denier rarely moves that fast when he isn’t walking through shadows.”
“I need to call Sabine.”
“She’s fine. He will take good care of her. The Hyreno alphas are careful around the ladies. The strength required to move around at pressure is controlled at all times.”
Ylara bit her lip. Sabine’s activation was well known in their circle.
He whispered in her ear, “Your faculties are remarkably intact for someone who smells as hot as you do.”
She shivered. “I am fighting it. I usually fight it until I can get safely home.” She tugged at her wrists. “Something seems to have foiled that procedure.”
“It was a lovely wedding. Etgar’s bride seems to be a woman who knows what she wants.”
“Vallu knew what he was and knew it was what she wanted. Well, at least for the father of her child.” Ylara remembered the ferocious look on Etgar’s face the night the assassins came for Vallu. The tender care that had also filled Etgar’s canine features had also been undeniable. Those two were in love, and she could see it at a glance.
Riithan kept her against him during the drive. While her brain was scrambling to deal with her situation, her body was cataloging the muscles under the tux and the hard press of his thigh at her hip. Her heat was progressing, and her instincts really liked him. He was very suitable for her body’s purpose, which was to have him inside her as often as possible over the next few days.
“I didn’t think I was that far along,” she muttered.
“You aren’t, but I can sense faint traces per million. I tasted you in the air before I even saw you, and once I did, I did not let you out of my sight.”
She felt the brush of his lips against her temple, and she felt him inhale deeply. Something happened in his chest. It wasn’t a purr. It was a thrumming that relaxed her from her womb outward. Her hand gripped his thigh, and she bent her neck. His fingers brushed her hair from her neck, and he pressed his lips to her skin with the delicate touch of rose petals caressing her.
She let out a soft, shivering sigh. The thrumming continued, and her thighs parted. The logical portion of her mind was getting smaller as the heat grew. When she moved her legs, she could smell her own heat. Part of her was mortified, and the other portion was impressed. Her heat had never progressed this quickly before.
Ylara was a quivering mess by the time they got to the house near the hill. The driver pulled up to the walkway that led to the door, and Riithan helped her out of the car, where she wobbled on the stone walkway, and he supported her with an arm around the waist. The door was opened for them as they approached, and the woman at the door smiled.
“Mr. Riithan, you have found a companion?”
Ylara shivered and pulled upright, which startled the woman.
Riithan muttered, “She thought I drugged you.”
“Oh, no. He didn’t do that. I am doing this to myself. Not on purpose, but it is here nonetheless.” She looked at the woman, who was golden-skinned with brown hair up in a serious twist.
The woman met her gaze and stepped toward her to touch her cheek. “Dilated pupils, dewy skin, scent wildly out of control. You are in heat, miss.”
Ylara chuckled. “Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was melting.”
The woman was startled.
Riithan helped her out. “Food and beverages for prolonged heat, please. Leave them outside my door. Oh, and some extra sets of sheets and a soft robe for my companion.”
“Yes, sir. Right away, sir.” She smiled and bowed.
Riithan kept a hand at her back and steered her up the steps and into the depths of the house. There were staff and busy personnel every sixty feet.
“Why are there so many people here?”
“The other guys were staying with me before the wedding. No sense in outfitting the other homes when one supported us all.”
