“Oh.”
Thanatos lifted her and kissed her. “Relax and nap if you want to. We will make sure that if you need us, we are there.”
“That sounds nice. Let me know how much I owe for the visit.” She leaned against him and breathed him in as she was carried out to an unfamiliar car with Owen leading the way.
Someone held the door open, and Owen got into the car. When Thanatos handed her over, she was cuddled against the other omega, and when Thanatos put his jacket over her, she was out.
Chapter Six
Everything was soft. Renner burrowed into the pillows under her. The scent of Thanatos was still with her, but her butt was only aching and not screaming. Everything smelled clean, felt super soft, and was nice and warm. Her eyes shot open when she realized she was in an omega’s nest. Owen. She sat up and looked around. “Oh, hi.”
Owen smiled. “That shot knocked you the hell out.”
“Yeah, but my butt feels better.”
He smiled and put his book down. “In case you wonder, I put you in here so that the guys wouldn’t keep trying to snuggle with you. Mateo respects the nest, and this is his house. The others are waiting not so patiently.”
“Why are you in here? I mean, I know it is your private room.”
“I didn’t want you to wake up in a strange place alone.”
She knelt. “Thanks. I will pay to fumigate or whatever you do to get scent out of a nest.”
He chuckled. “Don’t worry about it. I like your scent. A lot.”
Renner settled her weight on her heels and then eased up a little. “Ouch.”
“Armand said he could heal that for you as well.”
“Uh, a shoulder is one thing, but my butt is another. What am I wearing?”
“Thanatos offered his shirt for you to sleep in. I think he thought it would repel me, but he is rather hot. Shirtless, even hotter. His markings are something else.”
She looked at him and then burst into tears. Owen moved to hug her, and she wept and sniffled on his shoulder.
“What is it, Persephone?”
“I wanted to see his markings.” She sighed. “And I am an emotional pile of goo. I am sorry.”
“She jabbed you with enough hormones for four years of normal development. On the plus side, your body seems to be taking to it, even if your emotions are spilling over.”
She wondered what he meant, and then she smelled it. Her scent came in. “I smell funny.”
Owen leaned back and palmed her cheek. “You smell like an omega. Sunlight after a rain.”
Renner turned her face away.
“What’s wrong?”
“My ass hurts.”
He chuckled and said, “Maybe we should head up and let them know you are okay.”
“Up?”
“Yes. Mateo is old school. He put the nest underground and protected it.”
She stood with him and noticed that she was only wearing the shirt. “Uh, where are the other layers I was wearing?”
