But I want her.
I want her so fucking bad I can taste it.
And the sight of her naked body outside in the snow, holding a gun on me with violence in her eyes...it got me hard as a fucking rock.
She liked watching me kill those ACB agents.
It turned her on.
And I like a woman who appreciates a little bloodshed.
I listen to the others upstairs as I build the fire, trying to tamp down my arousal and the desire to go upstairs, bust in the door, and join them. I've been around a lot of omegas in the course of my career--I've been part of more than a few breakouts when the ACB was still in charge, I've paid my dues--but I've never smelled anything quite like her.
Sweet, sultry...like I could lick her pussy for weeks or months and never get hungry again.
I only get some relief when they finally quiet down, the fire crackling in the hearth. I'm not sure how much time has passed, but the storm is still howling outside, and--to my relief--the lights are still on. I look up to find a grandfather clock in the corner, which tells me it's a little after five.
My stomach rumbles.
I haven't had a bite of food since before I was taken captive...sometime last night.
I get up with a sigh and walk into the kitchen, opening up the fridge to peer inside. There's nothing in the fridge, but the freezer offers more, and I find some rich, hearty soup with a faroff expiration date on it. I smile to myself as my stomach growls again, and I grab the soup to put it on the stove.
If I wasn't just here for a mission--and if there weren't two frozen ACB corpses outside--this would be a nice vacation. A cozy fire, a beautiful cabin, a gorgeous woman and a premade pack...it would be great.
A really nice way to spend Christmas.
Because of course, Christmas has to be right around the corner at this point. I've lost track of time, but it was only a few days away when Emma arrived, so...I guess Christmas Eve would be tomorrow. I haven't celebrated it in a long time, not when I was on the run with the Enclave, but this would be the way to do it.
After I've had a bite to eat, plenty of soup still left on the stove, I set about trying to find a charger for my phone. I was supposed to update my handler back in Solstice Bay days ago, but I haven't had a chance to, and they're probably preparing to send reinforcements. I wouldn't want that, not when we're already on thin ice--no pun intended--with Inari Toure and Sanctuary Summit. I find a universal charger over by the TV, and I plug my phone in, then I start to browse through what they have on offer as far as movies go.
There are lots of old holiday films, some older than others, most from before the Great Mutation. The film industry took a hit, as did most businesses during what a lot of people thought was the apocalypse, and it's amazing that this stuff survived. I find copies of old musicals, feel-good romance movies, and even a couple TV shows.
From before the world went crazy.
Better days.
I end up settling on an old musical, and then I go to the kitchen to make some hot cocoa. Even if I have to listen to three horny strangers go at it through Christmas, I'm going to enjoy this.
Chapter thirteen
Emma
Itisn'tuntilafterdark that I realize how hungry I am.
I was so nervous this morning that I didn't eat breakfast...and then, of course, I was kidnapped. That in and of itself should have been enough to use up all my remaining energy, but then I spent hours getting railed by two gorgeous alphas.
I'm not complaining, but I need sustenance.
I somehow manage to slip out of Kai and Callum's embrace, leaving the two men alone in the huge bed as I tiptoe out the door. It's freezing, and I grab a fuzzy sweater from the open closet in the corner, then I unlock the door and step through it, shutting it completely silently behind me.
I take a deep breath and immediately smell delicious food, and all thoughts of caution fly right out the window.
I walk along the railing upstairs toward the staircase, looking down and seeing a holiday movie playing on the big, flatscreen TV in the den. The strange alpha who helped us--the one who was watching me at Sanctuary Summit--is on the couch, and he looks up at me with those piercing blue eyes as I come down the stairs. I know I'm still in heat, half-naked, that I don't know if I can trust this guy...but I'm so hungry that I don't care.
And I think he's good people.
Ihope.
