He doesn’t let me kneel before him for long, hooking his arms under mine to pull me up until I rest naked on top of him. We nuzzle together for a quiet moment, just listening to each other’s breathing and our hearts beating. It feels so good to be with Enzo, and he makes it so easy to ignore any doubt that tries to steal my attention.
“Come on, baby. Let me help you get cleaned up. Maybe we can go in the hot tub for a bit. I want your day to be as amazing as you are.” Enzo lifts me in his arms, letting me wrap my legs around him and rest my head on his shoulder. I don’t think he’ll let me walk for the rest of his time with me, his need to dote on me and shower me with his affection stronger than ever now that we’ve explored our vulnerabilities and our desires.
We head to the shower just off to the side of the pool area, and Enzo sits me down on a bench while he grabs everything we need.
I can’t take my eyes off him, watching his muscular body ripple with his movements. His tight ass is absolutely biteable, and he’s wrong about me with a spankable ass. Now I’m going to have to try it on him. See if he’ll let me get away with it.
But then the adrenaline starts to fade, and I realize how I’m already thinking as if this pack has claimed me. I’ve found hope in my wishful thinking, despite knowing better than that.
“Kinsey? What’s up?” Enzo sits beside me, pulling me into his lap. “You can tell me anything. I miss your smile. Where did it go?”
I laugh at his words, his closeness helping to ease the worry tightening my chest. “I was just thinking. That happens a lot when you put space between us. I just...what are we doing?”
I swallow with my words, resting my head on his pec, feeling his eyes boring into me as if he can read my mind.
“Getting to know each other. We’re embracing the fact that fate wants us to be together.” Enzo snuggles against me, rubbing his big hand over my side as he lifts me back up, making me face him as he carries me into the steaming stream of hot water.
I try not to frown. “Fate doesn’t get a say in this. You know that, right? Your leader—”
Enzo cuts me off with a kiss as if my words pain him, and maybe they do. He eases away, looking deeply into my eyes. “He doesn’t control us. I promise you, Kinsey. What am I doing here? I’m here because I want you. You’re the most amazing woman I have ever met. I’ve ever had the chance to know. I want you as my omega. I want to bond with you.”
My lip trembles and I can’t find my voice.
“Believe me. You’ve already changed our lives. And now I want to change the future. Iwillchange the future. I won’t give you up. I want you to be mine.” Enzo brushes his lips to mine again. “Will you let me prove it?”
I don’t know exactly what to say, so all I do is nod my head and kiss him back. I want what he does, and his words of affirmation help.
It’s almost unbelievable.
Surreal.
If only I could shed this veil of doubt trying to suffocate me.
My attraction to Enzo is so clear.
If only we could show the world.
He wants me to be his, but it’s more than that. I want him to be mine too.
Chapter 14
Kinsey
Surprise
“Enzo,Kinsey!I’vebeenlooking everywhere for you. Get dressed. We need to get Kinsey to Holly’s room. King Winston just showed up. He wants to talk about some hostility on the northern region of Gilded Sands.” Arsenio stands in the doorway between the pool and the entertainment room. “Hurry!”
Fear shocks me out of my state of pure tranquility, sitting on Enzo’s lap as he massages my shoulders while we hang out in the hot tub.
Arsenio grabs a towel from a stack on the wall shelf, and he holds it out as Enzo lifts me from the hot water. My nipples pebble at the change in temperature, and Arsenio gives me a quick once-over, unintentionally peeking at my naked body.
Excitement courses through me at his flash of attention, and I manage to refrain from calling him out for it.
“We should get them out of here. The panic room isn’t a secret,” Enzo says, frowning.
“Wilder agrees, but we need Dad to see all of us first. We can’t risk him asking questions about our whereabouts. After, we can sneak them to the garage and head out.” Arsenio looks at me again. “Are you good with that? The suppressant pills work, and no one will know.” He rubs his hands over my arms, pushing away the water droplets with his palms. “It’ll probably be Desmond without us. The king usually excuses him first.”
Enzo growls. “Like fucking hell is he going alone. Dad doesn’t—”
