We both froze when someone walked past, stirring the air between us so her scent filled the air. The omega was a mix of citrus, pear, and patchouli. It was bright and woodsy. A strange combination for anyone else, but her... With Sienna, it just fit. Her scent was downright intoxicating, and it stirred my alpha pride to realize she was breathing me in just as deeply.

“You smell so good.” She blurted the words out then slapped a hand over her mouth like she could shove them back in. A smirk ghosted across my face. Unfiltered Sienna was proving to be fun.

“Normally, I wouldn’t approach a previous client, but I couldn’t help myself,” I admitted. She smiled softly as if she could understand where I was coming from. “Can I buy you a drink?”

“Sienna?” We both turned as Yuri approached, looking suspiciously from me to her then back again.

“Yuri?” Sienna asked, confusion on her face as she looked around the bar. “What are you doing here?”

“I could ask you the same thing,” he asked pointedly, gesturing at the bar.

Sienna rolled her eyes at the other alpha as some of the women she had come with started to laugh behind her. “My brothers work here, Yuri. I didn’t realize you were so judgmental. Besides, they have the best drinks around.”

“That’s not—” Yuri started to protest, his eyes narrowing. The door opened again, and another breeze stirred around us. His nostrils flared, and whatever he was about to say was cut off.

“Oh my God, you smell good too!” she practically accused him, her mind jumping to another subject without warning.That’s drunk omega logic for you.“What is it tonight? Come on. Where’s River?! They might as well not miss this too.” She threw up her hands and looked around for Yuri’s cousin. I’d met them a time or two, and I knew the cousins were close, so I wasn’t surprised when they pushed into her view with a flourish.

“I’ve been summoned!” They threw their hands up and spun in a circle, showing off their outfit for the evening. Personally, I couldn’t pull off the chain harness or the sheer layer on top of it, but they looked good. Their skin sparkled, standing out against their deep tan and dark clothing.

She pulled them close and breathed in, smiling as she ran her nose over their chest.

“See, I knew it! You smell the best out of all of them,” she blurted out. Yuri let out an annoyed huff, and jealousy flared within me at the sight of her throwing herself on another alpha. Even seeing Yuri standing too close was making me want to scream. Apparently, I was the possessive type. It seemed I’d never had anyone to truly be jealous over.

“Well, this night took a strange turn, but I shouldn’t be surprised,” River said. “You smell incredible and look absolutely ravishing, my dear.” Sienna grinned and showed off her outfit, matching their energy.

“I was just about to offer Sienna a drink,” I said pointedly. Of course, the others didn’t back away. We stared off with each other in silence. It wasn’t overly aggressive, but it felt like a very ‘me against them’ moment.

“Okay, boys, everyone tuck it back in your pants. There’s enough Sienna to go around,” she said, doing a little twirl while laughing. The joyful sound ended in a hiccup, and she turned to me, her emerald eyes sparkling with amusement. “Can we make that first drink a water, King?”

“Of course we can,” I said, offering my arm. She didn’t hesitate to put her arm through mine so I could lead her back to Bane.

“My hero,” she cooed. This personality was a far cry from the nervous woman I’d met the night of her heat. Though heat was never a good show of personality, it stripped an omega down to instinct and left them half feral.

The problem was that now that I’d seen a glimpse of therealSienna, without any constraints, I wanted even more of her.

Sienna

What the hell was going on tonight?!

First, I ran into King, fuckingKing, the alpha I thought I’d never see again. Hell, he took my damn virginity.Nope, no, I’m not thinking about that.I pushed those thoughts aside to focus on the alphas King was leading me away from.

Yuri and River, my boss and coworker, both of whom smelled so fucking fantastic. I could feel slick on my upper thighs. The only person missing from this damn scene was Nash. King settled me on a barstool and sat down beside me, ordering a water, and Bane gave him an approving look while handing me a sealed bottle.

“So is your name really King?” I asked, then immediately started to blush.I can’t believe that’s the first thing I asked him.I cracked open the water and immediately started to chug it down. I needed something to sober me up.

He chuckled, thankfully amused by my question. “Yes, it’s my real name. No one believes me, so it was easier to just keep it for work. And no, it’s not short for anything, much to everyone’s disappointment.”

I threw my head back and laughed at his resigned answers. I could feel not only his gaze on me, but Yuri, River, and my besties’ too.Oh shit, they’re going to have so many questions.A shit ton of questions. Nope. Tonight was fun Sienna. Tomorrow, responsible Sienna could take over and deal with the fallout.

“I didn’t think we’d see each other again. I mean, that’s kinda the thing with—” I waved my hand around, and the corner of his eyes crinkled. The deep sound of his chuckle made me bite my lip.

“My job? Yeah, true. If you don’t want to talk, we don’t have to. I just—”

“No, I want to,” I told him, reaching out to lay a hand on his arm. I loved the feel of his muscles beneath the soft cotton of his shirt, and that wasn’t the booze or the weed talking. Flashes of his bare skin, soft praise, and the rasp of his beard against my fevered skin filled my mind. The heat in his gaze had me wondering if the same memories were coming to him, but he cleared his throat before I could muster the bravery to ask.

“Good, that’s good.” King reached for the drink Bane must have set down for him while we were lost in each other. He sipped it before speaking again. “So… You know Yuri and his cousin?”
