“Shit.”

“Yeah, Calai was pretty upset.”

“Calai? That her name?” I take his grunt as a yes, rolling the letters around on my tongue.

“What did you mean she was unharmedwhen you lefther?”

“She seems to enjoy pissing off Kit. Not that he’d hurt her, but she might get hurt in a bid to escape him or something equally dumb.”

“How gone is she? Do you think she’ll come around?” Not that it really mattered, because she was ours whether she agreed to be or not. If she could get to a point where she actually wanted us to touch her though?

“Man, I don’t think she’s ever even seen a male before. Had no idea what to make of us.”

I stumble like a complete newb, nearly hitting my head on a low-hanging branch as I try to regain my equilibrium. “How the hell is that possible?”

“You were locked in that crazy town for a few weeks- surely you understand how fucked up the entire outfit is.”

I don’t say anything to that, because I think that it’s pretty obvious Idounderstand.

We stop for a quick drink of water when we get to a clear stream running through the forest, and I decide to just jump in and rinse off my unwashed body. Really don’t want to meet the woman of my dreams smelling like ass and BO. That might be hard to convince her to let me touch her.

We don’t talk as we run the rest of our way, meeting up with a grumpy, prickly Kit who’s walking with a disgruntled omega slung over his shoulder. When he sees us, he does a quick assessment of me, ensuring that I’m unharmed, then drops the pack that has the tent and the couple provisions we brought on this trip, leaving it for one of us to carry.

The omega peeks her head up at me, eyes dilating near instantly as she takes me in. I’m still pretty damp from my quick bath and I probably look like hell from being held captive for two weeks, but I shoot her a fucking brilliant smile anyway. She looks momentarily stunned, as if she just saw a unicorn or some shit.

“It’s…you,” she croaks out at last as we all keep heading down the mountain, toward the truck we hid in the brush.

“In the flesh, baby doll.”

Kit all but drops her, clearly annoyed with something, leaving me to sweep her into my arms. I love that she doesn’t fight me; in fact, she sort of melts against me, and does me the honor of sniffing my neck.

“Cinnamon and…star anise,” she says with a shudder. Hm. Hopefully she likes things spicy.

“And you smell like dreams come true,” I say with a smarmy grin.

“What?”

Oh, for fuck’s sake, she can’t be impervious to my charms. I was on such a roll! “Uh, never mind,” I brilliantly recover. “What I meant to say was, hi there.”

She squirms against my chest a little, and even in this god-awful dress she’s got on I can tell her body’s going to be absolutely banging.

“W-where are you guys taking me?”

“To our den of debauchery, obviously.”

“What?”

“Why is her ankle swollen?” Colter demands.

Kit spins around and glares. “Because she got the bright idea to try and blind me before making a run for it. Her stupid ass tripped over the most obvious root around and hurt herself.”

Ooh. He’s extra prickly right now. But how was the omega to know that big, bad Kit wouldn’t like having dirt flung at his baby blues?

“I’m sure her ass is perfectly respectable,” I say, with a squeeze to said ass. “Fuck. Nope. I take that back. This ass is most definitely perfection.”

“Stop that!” She screams, trying to get out of my arms. No dice though. She’s mine right now.

“Hmmm…tempting offer,” I say with another gentle squeeze. Holy hell this woman is packing.
