Hunter steps in, giving me a prime view of a fitted tee so tight, I can count his abs. At least six. Maybe eight.
“We’ll be nearby. And don’t miss the show. Planned a surprise for you.” Hunter boops my nose, smirking, then disappears into the crowd.
I rub the spot he flicked.
Not sure I can handle another surprise.
I’m already surprised enough that I keep letting Wyverns past my walls.
“Here they come,” Orion warns.
“Is it too late to cancel?” It’s not their slacks that bother me. They’re handsome. Nice guys. Just…
There’s no spark.
I told myself from day one that I don’t want, need, or deserve that connection, but I also didn’t know how good it could feel.
Wyverns are breaking me.
“Lilah. Such a pleasure to see you again.” Rhett’s eyes crinkle behind his glasses. He reeks more of amaretto than cherry today.
I love almonds.
Like, hello? Ice cream?
So, I should want to devour this alpha and his whole foodie pack.
But they don’t leave me licking my lips. They can’t even cut through Hunter’s lingering smoke.
Scent’s the problem.
If my perfume hadn’t clung to Cale’s scrubs, the Sorensens wouldn’t be here. They wouldn’t care whether I was auctioned off or mated to the mob.
We have nothing in common, and my brain can’t conjure what they’d look like naked, let alone how we’d fit together during a heat.
Could Rhett direct the other alphas to fuck me so good?
Would Cale snuggle me all day and hand feed me chips with hot sauce?
If another pack came at me, could they even fight back?
I can picture them doing my taxes.
Maybe giving me a colonoscopy?
I shudder.
Nail in fucking coffin.
I can’t keep trying to force this. I’d rather pick a random pack from Catherine’s pile.
My body language must give away the sudden change of heart, because they crowd close, a hint of desperation in their stretched smiles.
“Brought these for you.” Jason pushes a pastry box into my hands. “Wish I could’ve cooked.”
“Sorry you had to come to a fight?” I hand the box to Orion.
He’s my holder.
