I press my palm to his chest, easing him away. His body throbs beneath me, and I slide my fingers down and caress his hard cock. “If you don’t resist me now, I’ll let you have your way with me, and it wouldn’t be right to do such acts in Holly’s bed.”

“I draw the line there. I love you guys, and I want you to both have incredible sex all the time for eternity, but not in front of me or in my space. Ugh.” Holly places her hands on her hips, her eyebrows raised as if she’s ready to pounce on us to tear us apart.

“I suppose I deserve you being a cock-block, considering that I have always been a cock-fortress for you, keeping every damn person away.” Arsenio stands, lifting me up with him. He spins me around and plops me on my feet. “Now for you, sugar. Let’s get you changed. I want you in a dress for me.” Humming, he leans in and adds, “Something easily accessible for me.”

I smirk, my body prickling with oncoming desire. “Whatever you want.”

“That’s exactly what I want to hear.” Arsenio turns me away and spanks my ass, getting me to shuffle toward Holly. He points at her. “You need to wear jeans, lil sis. Don’t argue with me.”

Holly glares at him and shakes her head. “I knew there was going to be a stipulation.”

I grab her hands and tug her toward her wardrobe. “Don’t worry. He didn’t say anything about your shirt. I’ll help you pick out something.” I crane my neck and stick my tongue out at Arsenio. “Pick us up in thirty.”

Arsenio doesn’t argue and pulls out his phone. “Take a suppressant pill, Holly.”

“Got it,” Holly says.

I flick my fingers at him. “Just handle what you have to, so we can have some fun. We’ll take care of ourselves right now. We got this. Now shoo.”

Shaking his head with a smile, Arsenio leaves the room. Holly and I turn to each other and screech, jumping up and down as if we just found out we won the lottery or some shit. And maybe we have. We get a day out. We don’t even have to really hide.

Who knew that normal would feel so extraordinary?

Arsenio is right. This is what we need. I plan to savor every second of it.

I shouldn’t be nervous, but I am. It’ll take me a long while to get used to the idea that I’m no longer in hiding or passing as a beta. I hope it gets easier, at least.

“What’s wrong?” Holly asks quietly, leaning between the front seats as Arsenio strolls around the hood of his sedan to open the doors for us.

I shrug. “I kind of wish I had taken a suppressant pill too. I’m not sure I’m ready for this.”

Holly hands me her purse and whispers, “Front pocket.”

I startle at Arsenio swinging the door open and clutch onto Holly’s bag. I laugh and smile at him without saying anything, allowing him to help me from the car. I adjust the little black dress Holly picked out for me, the bodice dipping into a deep V-cut, showing off my cleavage and lack of a bra. Arsenio will go nuts when he realizes I skipped the panties too.

Extending his hand to Holly, Arsenio helps her out, and I take the chance to pop one of the suppressant pills into my mouth, swallowing it dry. I clear my throat, regretting it immediately. Why did I just do that? Why did I have the sudden need to hide it, too?

“Thanks for the suppressant pill, Holly,” I blurt, the unbidden guilt tightening my chest. I’ve been forced to hide the last few years that my fear triggered the reaction now. The last thing I want is to hide from Arsenio. If only I thought about it before actually doing it.

Scrunching his brows, Arsenio gives me a long look that speaks volumes. Confusion laces the fragrance of his dewy apple scent, warming it a bit. Is it anger? No. But I can’t decipher exactly what he’s feeling through his pheromones, considering how quickly the suppressant pills take effect, messing with me already.

“You took a pill, Kinsey?” Arsenio rubs his lips together, reaching up to touch my cheek. “What for?”

A dozen responses flit through my mind. What can I say? I’m not only nervous, but I’ve been thinking about other things more and more, especially when I start to feel out of control again, like with my rampant sexual desire. I know it’s going to just get more intense until I’ll need the relief only my alphas can provide. I try to suppress the memory of my last heat, but it comes back in full force, consuming me.

My wrists hurt for weeks from the restraints. I thought I’d die on the bedroom floor along with the men who were supposed to claim me as their omega. If I hadn’t fought as hard as I did—

“Kinsey?” Arsenio shakes my shoulder, yanking me from my thoughts.

Whoa. I’m losing it. I hadn’t realized I just checked out of reality to lose myself in my dark memories.

I puff out of breath between my lips and blink my eyes, trying to get myself together again. “I’m sorry. I took it because I’m nervous about everything...but mostly about being an omega.” It might be ridiculous to reject my order, especially because that’s the part of me that is adored and cherished by my guys, but I can’t help it. I’m a bit fucked up. I thought I was more resilient than this.

“Arsenio, why don’t you drop it for now? Just let us have our fun. It’s okay for us to ignore our trauma and focus on other things if we want. You can’t possibly think you can fix us with a short discussion about it with some heartfelt affirmations.” Holly slides her arms around me from behind, hugging me. “Kinsey is strong enough. She has been passing as a beta for years and dealing with this. You don’t need to coddle her.”

A mixture of emotions crosses Arsenio’s face, and the warm cinnamon spice of his flaring anger heats up his scent. He cracks his knuckles, composing himself instead of snapping. I think if he were any of his brothers, he might have yelled at Holly. But right now, I’m glad he doesn’t. Because Holly’s right. I don’t want to think about why I’m this way and how I just did something stupid without thinking or without considering how he’d feel about it.
