“W-what do you like to read most?” She stumbles out softly.
I hum, smirking into the night. My library is something that I am not shy about, and I have no shame in what I read.
“Monster romance, mostly. Well, the guys call it monster porn. I can’t say I disagree with them.” I shrug.
Her eyes widen, her lips parting. Her tongue lightly runs across her plump bottom lip, and I have the sudden, intense urge to suck it into my mouth and tangle my tongue up with hers. I am in so much fucking trouble.
Her lips clamp back together, and she brings her hand to cover her lips as a giggle slips out.
“At least you’re honest.” She giggles more. “Now, I don’t feel so awkward telling you about what I love to read most.”
I watch as mischief twinkles in her eyes, and she smirks at me. Temptress.
“I got this book for my birthday from Gabe and his pack. I’ve been wanting it for months, waiting to get it. Guess he pays more attention than I realized, so they all got it for me for my birthday.” She flips it around to show me.
A giant, blue, horned... monster and a human woman are on the cover. Oh. Oh, I have a crush. I have a crush on a woman—another omega. River is going to kill me.
“Ooh,” I coo, reaching for it. “What is this?”
“Alien porn.” She snorts, causing Kian to choke again on his next breath.
I laugh as he coughs, trying to get air into his lungs. It serves him right for being such a shit about what I read. I read the description on the back of the book, becoming increasingly intrigued. It’s no reverse harem, but it sounds delightful.
I hand her the book back, remembering the title so I can look it up tonight.
“I hope it’s good,” I smirk at her.
“I’ve heard good things.” Smirking back at me, she moves ahead.
We stop in front of the door to the Omega Center’s dormitory.
“Well, this is me. Thank you both for walking me back. I should hurry and finish getting my things together. I’m sure my mom and dads are dying to get me back home.” Her eyes roll playfully, and she chuckles, grabbing the door’s handle.
“It was our pleasure, Little Omega,” Kian replies softly.
With her hand clenched tight around the handle, knuckles turning white, Ripley looks back and forth between us, a question burning in those hazel depths. I wait her out.
She takes a deep breath before seeming to decide just to ask. “This might be incredibly rude of me, and you can totally tell me to mind my damn business, but that scent that clings to you both... It’s kind of been driving me crazy whenever I’m near you. Does it belong to another alpha in your pack? Because if I’m being honest with you guys, if all the alphas in your pack smell as good as you two and whoever that other one belongs to, I can only imagine the trail of broken-hearted omegas left in your wake when you found your omega.”
So, she paid attention to what Victor was saying. It’s for the best. We shouldn’t even be walking with her right now, but Victor manhandling her put me on edge. Once she steps through that door, I will forget all about her. I must. River deserves better.
I blink, my brows raising slightly, realizing she must be talking about River’s scent. I know I smell like him because I didn’t shower before coming here with Kian, wanting to carry my omega’s perfume on me to deter any straggling omegas at the ceremony. Lot of good that’s done me.
Kian clears his throat, shuffling his feet in the grass. “Uh, if you mean the coconut and honeysuckle, that would be River, who is most definitely not an alpha.” We chuckle together at the absurdity of River being an alpha. He’s already so bossy sometimes as an omega. I couldn’t imagine him pumped full of alpha mojo.
“He’s our omega. Can’t say he’s ever had another omega like his scent and be intrigued.” Kian shakes his head, scratching behind an ear.
I watch as shock flitters across her features before she shakes it away. She wasn’t expecting the scent to belong to another omega, which isn’t surprising. I certainly hadn’t expected her to like it. If that’s why she’s been perfuming like crazy since we locked eyes... I nearly groan as the image of River and Ripley tangled together on my bed while I watch, pops in uninvited. I bite my lip. I have got to stop this.
“Damn.” She gives us a feeble smile. “He’s a very lucky omega to have such a caring alpha and beta. If that’s what he smells like, then I can see how he snagged you guys.” She bites her lip and looks away.
I want to bite that lip. Fucked. I am so fucked.
At last, she looks at us once more. “Thank you again for walking me back. It was very kind of you both. And it was nice to meet you. I should head in. I’ve got to grab my things and call my parents. They should be here soon to get me.”
Ripley pulls the door open and steps inside.
“It was nice to meet you too, Ripley. Try to stay out of trouble from now on and don’t go tripping into any more alphas.” I grin at her, chuckling at the indignant look that shines in her eyes.
