“Mateo did your laundry. You broke out in a fever sweat on the ride here, and the smell was strong.”
“Oh. Sorry.”
“That is when we were glad that our driver was there. The air system was already pulling scent out and kept it from getting too thick.”
She was appalled. “I am so sorry.”
“It’s a lovely scent, but keeping myself between you and Mateo made for a very entertaining ride. Never think for a minute that you are in the way or inconvenient.”
“It feels fucking inconvenient.”
He turned her to face him and leaned in to kiss her. His tongue stroked along hers, and she pressed against him as they kissed slowly and wetly for several minutes. She was rocking against his thigh when she moaned softly and started shivering against him. Deep throbbing ran through her, and she slumped against him.
He slowed the kiss and lifted his head. “You are getting the hang of it.”
“The hang of what?”
“Being an omega. It requires a certain amount of adaptation and a certain amount of surrender which most betas struggle with. It’s why most of the alphas who take on betas only take one.”
She sighed and looked down. “Oh, damn. I am—”
“Don’t say sorry. Now I know why Mateo always chuckles when I get slick on him. There is an incredible smugness to have something sweet in your arms surrendering and inviting you. Clothes can be cleaned. Get used to it. Also, alphas are ballsy. They will wear omega cum on their clothes like it’s a fancy brooch.”
“That’s... gross.”
“Come on. You can see Cera and Cedric.”
“Oh, you fight dirty.”
He kissed her lips softly. “You have no idea. Come on.”
She watched as she threaded her fingers through his, and he walked her to the door, twisted the lock, and swung it into the nest. The hallway outside was cool, so she shivered and stayed close to Owen as they walked through the hall.
Renner grinned and ran forward when tiny mews led to Cera and Cedric tumbling down the hall toward her. She stopped when she remembered that the kittens were bonding with Owen.
Cera ran up to her and jumped on her bare foot, hugging her ankle. Cedric waddled over to Owen. Renner crouched, and both kittens came to her. “Sorry, Owen. I won’t cuddle them.”
He chuckled. “I am not worried. You will be here frequently. Very frequently. But the guys have homes all over the city, so it will be best of opportunity; Princess and Rigor will be here soon, so they will be a cute little gathering.”
She stroked Cera’s head and behind her ears. Cedric got the same treatment. She picked them up as she stood, and Owen smiled. “Do you dance?”
“Occasionally. Why?”
“The way you move is familiar. I have seen it in dancers at Mateo’s family events.”
“Wow. What kind of family events?”
Owen put an arm around her waist, and they started up a wide stairway. She held the kittens up high, and they got to the upper floor and walked past a silent kitchen and into a living area where the enormous cat tree was set up, and three nervous alphas were looking at them as they came around the corner.
Thanatos was wearing a t-shirt with his slacks, and he rushed to her. “Persephone? How are you feeling?”
She looked at him, turned to Owen, and said, “Hold the kittens.”
He smiled and took the little ones.
She turned back to Thanatos and jumped into his arms. He caught her and held her against him, his hands under the shirt she was wearing were on her butt and thigh, away from the needle mark. He was being careful.
She smiled at him. “So, how do I feel?”
