We were only inches apart. I knew what was happening, but it felt as though we were powerless to stop it. Lavender’s entire body jolted with the shock of our lips meeting. Soft, warm, and delectable. My hand snaked up to the back of her neck, tangling in the hair at the nape, holding her in place.

The faint sweet slick smell that had been clinging to her ever since I’d come home intensified. Her taste was delicious, but there was a citrus edge to her that hadn’t been there before.

Theo.

With that realisation, all my blood rushed south and I was consumed with thoughts of her sweet slick pussy impaled on my cock, bent over the bed, whimpering and whining as I made her mine. Ours. Fuck, Theo and I could take her together. His taste on her tongue was the best kind of drug, and I was running headfirst into addiction.

I pulled away, hating the loss of her warmth and her taste, drawing Lavender down onto my lap so our foreheads pressed together. My hand gripped the smooth expanse of her thigh I had been admiring earlier as her legs draped across my thighs. “I shouldn’t have done that, but for some reason I can’t find it in me to care.”

Her weight on top of me was heady. Her hands ran along my chest gently up to my neck, leaving an electric sensation in its wake. I readjusted my sitting position and winced, reminding her of my current state, going still for a brief second before attempting to jump off. Only I refused to let her, wrapping an arm around her waist to keep her in place. The action ground her against my erection and my eyes rolled back at the sweet friction.

“Am I hurting you?” she asked, softly chewing on her bottom lip.

“Not at all, in fact this is helping,” I smirked at her.

“Well in that case, I guess we should continue?” Lavender laughed, pulling away “But you need to ice your bruises, or you’ll never hear the end of it from Theo.”

The short distance between us helped me gather my wits. Lavender’s perfume was like an aphrodisiac. The closer I was to the source the more I felt my mind becoming addled. She moved backwards, standing. I wanted to whine at the loss of her.

She leaned forward, placing the wrapped ice pack on my ribs, making me hiss at the cold contact. Lavender’s eyes were flitting around the room and a touch of anxiety was creeping into her scent.

“Uh, we probably shouldn’t have done that, I’m sorry,” she mumbled. “I accosted you. Stupid pheromones. Let’s just blame those.”

I snorted. “Hey,” I tugged at her until she looked me in the face. “It was a mistake because you’ll be gone soon. I didn’t kiss you just because you are an omega, I kissed you because you’re Lavender.”

“Huh?”

I laughed, and pulled her down gently for a soft kiss. “You need to understand that while this was a mistake, I’m under no false impressions of who you are. You’re the woman who watches enough true crime to give grumpy old bastards like Kane the creeps. You’re intelligent and quick, and you mesh so well with everyone in my pack—even the aforementioned grumpy bastard. You aren’t terrified of weapons, and I’m pretty sure if given the chance you would become a better shot than any of us. In another world, you would be pretty fucking perfect, you know that?”

Lavender blushed at the praise. “I wish other packs saw me that way.”

“I’m sure they do.”

“The last pack I spoke to for longer than three hours told me I was rather inconsiderate racking up debt on my education when I would just be a mother one day. They made it clear they would pay all my debt though because they knew I held at least that much value in my reproductive abilities. I decided to look into a second degree that day.”

Of course she decided to get a second degree, she was too smart for her own good at times.

“Didn’t any work out?” I asked, brows furrowed.

“There were plenty who were nice, offered me shiny things, gifts, and money, but none of them really wantedme; they wanted an omega. Any omega would have done. Not a single pack recognised me for me, unless it was traits they deemed to be negative that could reflect badly on their pack one day. None of them wanted to be known as the pack with the quirky omega.”

“That’s not fair. You’re amazing.”

Lavender rolled her eyes. “I’m not sure how to take flattery from the man who kidnapped me.”

“Well, if Theo’s right, in the sort of books you read, kidnapping is considered foreplay.”

Lavender snorted at that reply. “Keep icing your bruises, I’m going to go check on Kane.”

I nodded. “But first.” I wrapped a hand round her waist again and pulled her close in another bruising kiss. “I’m sick and tired of resisting this, even if it’s a mistake.”

“It probablyisa mistake, but I don’t mind.” Lavender shrugged.

Would it really hurt to explore this for a week or so until Lavender left? I doubted I had the strength to stay away from her.

I needed to talk to my packmates.
