My hair probably looked wild, considering how many hands had been in it, so a messy bun was my best option.
“Here,” he grabbed one off his bedside table and passed it to me. I thanked him and quickly wrestled my waves into a semi manageable style. It was going to be a bitch to brush out later, but that was future Lavender’s problem. Current Lavender was focused on waffles.
Padding after Theo I resisted the urge to shove him in the back to make him get to the kitchen faster. I couldn’t recall the last time I had an indulgent, sweet dessert. I gave into the thought and gently pushed him forward.
“Hurry up!” I grumbled.
Theo laughed loudly.
“You’re feral for waffles, I need to remember this.”
“I will do downright evil and criminal thingsforwaffles, but I will do downright criminal things toyouif you delay me getting said waffles—and not sexy criminal things, before you open your mouth!” I groused, pushing him forward.
“Okay, okay! Come on, feral beastie.”
He turned, grabbing the arm I was pushing him with and pulling me into him. Keeping me close as we made our way to the kitchen.
Theo was mixing the batter while I cut up berries, the waffle iron heating up on the counter. Every other berry ended up in my mouth so it was taking me a fair amount of time to get enough for the waffles.
When Theo pinched one, I playfully pointed my knife at him. Raising his hands in surrender he said “Okay, don’t fuck with the omegas sweets, noted,” he said with a shit eating grin on his face.
“Part of me feels like you would enjoy getting stabbed a little too much,” I grumbled, turning back to my work.
I had almost finished my pile, and was feeling rather proud of my work, when Kane walked in. He was covered in a light layer of sweat, wearing just a pair of gym shorts. I pointedly avoided looking at his chest—it really wasn’t fair for a man to bethatlarge and have so many abs. Nodding at us as he made his way to the fridge, he grabbed a glass of water and chugged half of it.
“Heya, want a waffle?” Theo asked with a smile, spooning some batter onto the iron. “Though I think Lavender ate most of the berries.”
“There's a few left,” I grumbled. Not a lot, but a few.
“Sure,” he said, breathing deeply.
“I’ll get the syrup,” I smiled, walking over to the fridge, and passing Kane. As I walked by I did my best to ignore the thick leathery smell that was extra potent thanks to the added sweat he was now glistening in. Sweaty alphas should be disgusting, but my daft omega hormoneslovedit.
Grabbing the bottle, I turned back to Theo, but was distracted by Kane who had gone unnervingly still, staring at me with wide eyes, his nostrils flared.
The smell of burning filled the room, and a quick glance toward Theo let me know the smell wasn’t coming from the waffle iron.
“Uh… Kane?” I asked, concerned.
“You smell likehim.” He thrust his head in Theo’s direction.
“Of course she does, she smells like all of us,” Theo said nonchalantly
“No, she smells likesex!” He snarled, looking at me with straight up hatred.
“Lavender, come here.” Theo’s voice was level and controlled.
I scampered over to him, thankful to have the counter between us.
Kane looked between us with disgust on his face, launching the bottle across the room so it smashed against the wall behind Theo.
I yelped, jumping out of my skin and shaking. Now the room was filled with the smell of burnt sugar, the scent of my own distress.
“Fucking traitor!” Kane snarled, looking between us for a moment before storming out of the room, slamming a door behind him loudly.
“H-he’s really pissed,” I stuttered. Theo pulled me in for a gentle hug, running his hand up and down my back.
“Don’t mind him. Let me text Gage, then I’ll get us those waffles, okay? Gage will take care of Mr Crabby Pants,” he said, pulling us apart to look me in the eyes. “You’ve done nothing wrong,” he reassured me.
