I fall against him and smile, humming a cheery tune beneath my breath.

“And I thought I was insatiable,” River mumbles, sending me into a fit of giggles.

“You’ve woken up a monster. For three years, I’ve only had toys to sate my needs when they made themselves known. And now that I’ve had you? You’ll be lucky if I ever let you out of the bedroom.” Nipping his lips, I smirk at him.

His eyes widen and his lips part. Amazing what a few orgasms can do for one’s mentality. I feel calmer again as I lift myself up. When I do, River’s come drips out of me and lands on his lap. He watches in fascination, biting his lip.

“Godsdamn, that’s sexy as fuck.” He’s mesmerized at first, but then he closes his eyes and grunts.

I use his shirt to clean up and move to the side, wrapping the blanket around myself. I leave my feet resting in his lap, needing to touch him.

“Forgot about a condom,” he tells me apologetically.

I breathe out a sigh of relief. “Ok, not ideal. That’s my fault for being over eager. Good thing is, neither of us are in heat so pregnancy doesn’t have to be a worry. And like I told you, I haven’t been with anyone in over three years, so no worry of STDs or anything on my end. The Center tests us all regularly and my last one came back clean as per usual a few weeks before I left. So as long as you’re clean, then we have nothing to worry about. We’ll be more careful next time if that’s what you want.”

His eyes open and latch back on me. “You’re pretty great, you know that? Can’t imagine why a pack hasn’t snatched you up yet, but I’m not complaining. You’re mine now.”

“Well, that’s entirely on me. I just never found any scents that felt right. Until the ceremony, and then this one scent that was clinging to this alpha and beta drew me in. I wanted to lie down and present for whoever it belonged to,” I tell him playfully.

“Present, you say?” He asks, intrigued, chocolate eyes glittering at my teasing.

I laugh as he leans closer to me, and I push him away. “Come on, I think we need clothes on, or we really won’t get any talking done. We’ve already wasted most of the day sleeping.” I poke him in the ribs and jump up to go in search of my clothes before I say screw it and stay naked with him all day.

He chuckles, shaking his head at me, but follows my lead. I find my shirt, bra and pants with little issue. It’s my panties that seem to have gotten legs and walked off.

“Hey, River. Do you see my panties anywhere?” I call back, looking under the furniture and in every nook. We couldn’t have thrown them that far away, surely.

“You mean these?”

I whirl around. River stands there in only his pants with a brow raised, my black panties dangling from his index finger. I narrow my gaze on him and hold my hand out.

“Give ‘em here, omega!” I do my best impression of an alpha bark, but honestly, I sound more like a toddler demanding their toy back. My bark has zero bite. Go figure.

He laughs. “Oooh. Omega. Was that an alpha bark you tried to attempt, Little Omega?” He smirks playfully.

“River,” I warn.

“How about a game, hmm?”

“What game?” I ask skeptically.

“A simple game of chase. If you can catch me, well, you can have them back. If not, they’re mine.” He grins at me roguishly.

I narrow my eyes on him and cross my arms. “What’s the catch?” I roll my eyes. “No pun intended.”

“No catch, Little Bird. Just get me and you get your panties. Scared you’ll lose and go home commando?”

“Pft. As if. Five...” I raise my brow, tugging my pants on, sans panties. For now. “Four...” I look down and pick at my nails in nonchalance. “Three...” He finally catches on and takes off. I get to one and take off after him before he can get out of my sight.

I haven’t been given the tour yet, so I don’t know my way around very well. Luckily, their home is very open downstairs. Hopefully, he doesn’t go upstairs. I hear his laugh echo down the hallway we’ve turned down that looks like it leads to a back door. River dashes out the door, quickly taking off toward the trees that line their backyard.

I breathe out a breath at the sight. Adventure awaits there. I know it.

His alphas and beta are on the back patio, and he doesn’t even glance at them as he bounds away into the trees. They call after him and he pays them no mind, cackling as the distance between us increases. I hesitate for only a second but decide I really don’t want to walk around until I get home in denim with no barrier.

“River! You get back here right now and give me my freaking panties back, you brat! Don’t make me spank you!” I scream out, sprinting through the group with my cheeks blazing as they gather around to see what we’re up to.

I try to ignore their eyes as they all watch me run after him, screaming about my underwear. As I continue to chase the wily omega into the trees, he cackles again and calls back, “Gotta catch me to spank me, Little Bird.”
