“You okay?” Dean asks, pulling me back to the present.
I clear my throat and nod. He is so sweet. I am probably stupidly half in love with him already. But Dean’s kindness puts me on edge at the same time. I’ve been lied to in the past and am not getting caught up in that fantasy a second time. At least with Austin I knew he wasn’t trying to get anything from me other than what I’d already agreed to.
“Yeah. I’m fine. Tired, I guess.”
I stand and stretch, my comfortable sweats and t-shirt hug my curves in ways I’m aware of. Therearetwo mirrors in my closet alone. But Austin still has my hoodie, so it is all I have. I couldn’t bring myself to take the tags off the new silky pajamas that were folded up on a shelf in my room. Dean’s eyes track my movements, making me feel warm.
It’s the heat. It’s influencing how I see alphas, and Dean is one fine man that I am already drawn to. Not to mention his scent feels like a match.
He inhales, his nose flaring as he catches my perfume. “Sleep well.”
I stare at him for a full minute, part of me wanting to climb into his lap and cuddle with him. Pressing my lips together, I nod and turn away. Taking a few steps away, I pause, a thought occurring to me. They might have access to better suppressants than what I’ve been using. I’m not fully in a heat and part of that honestly could be the fact that I had an orgasm today. Those are supposed to make it easier to handle, but only if given by an alpha. Could it be considered given by an alpha if I was the one to touch myself?
Apparently.
“Dean?” I turn back around. He lifts a brow and closes his book. My teeth sink into my lower lip, and I almost say fuck it and run for the safety of my room. “Can you get me suppressants? The ones I have are cheap, and I don’t think they are working.”
He clears his throat, and I can tell I’ve surprised him with my question.
“You know what? Forget it. It’s okay,” I say, waving my hand in the air between us in a dismissive motion.
“If it was okay, I’m sure you wouldn’t have asked,” he replies. “We can make a trip to Doctor Stephens in the morning. She is known for her research into heats and suppressants.”
Relief spears through me, and I almost sag to the floor. I’ll be okay until tomorrow. I’m sure of it.

My body convulses,and pain spears my abdomen. I curl into a ball, holding in a scream that wants to come out. Sweat coats my body, and I feel like I’m having a hot flash, even if I’m too young for one. I whimper, pressing my face into my pillow. Slowing my breathing and attempting to get my heart rate under control.
I should lock my door. Secure it. But I can’t move. I feel needy and wanton. My breasts feel heavy and full, while slick makes my thighs wet in a way that tells me I’m out of time. My pheromones are strong in the air. Fresh baked brownies with a hint of vanilla tell me my perfume is in full bloom.
At least, I shut my bedroom door. But just the slightest brush of my legs pressing together is enough to send a dose of lust through me. If I got up now, I’d walk through the door and offer myself up. I am screwed.
It is as if my body knows there are two alphas on the other side of that door and wants me to go find them.
I need a toy, that is what I need. Practically crawling to my backpack, I unzip the front pocket and fish out my tiny bullet. With a sigh, I lean against the wall, not bothering with going back to my bed. Curling my fingers around the vibrator, I press the button on the end and something eases in my chest at the low rumble. At least it will be some relief.
Although, one of those alpha dildos would do a better job at fooling my body.
Not bothering with removing my sweats, I snake my hand beneath the waistband and under my panties. Then press it against my clit. A moan comes from my throat as I drop my head against the wall. Circling it in slow, easy circles. It is seconds before release washes over me, and I gasp out a breath. As soon as I come back down, the need is there like it never left.
I’ve never had a heat start out this strong before. My skin is feverish as I push to my feet, my legs weak as I stumble to my bathroom. I take a cool shower that does nothing for the lust building like a storm inside me. As the air hits my skin, I shiver, not even bothering to dry off before I move back to the bed. I lay on top of the covers, drops of water still clinging to my body, goosebumps forming along my arms and legs. Even so, all I can think of is searching out one of the alphas in the apartment with me.
How stupid would that be?
I’m not sure how long I lay there like that. The light from my windows tells me that dawn is breaking. And normally I would be there looking out over the water, watching the sun greet a new day. But today I am an achy mess.
A soft knock on the door breaks through my daze. “Audrey? Dr. Stephens has said we can come before the first appointment.”
Dean.
My pussy clenches around nothing, and I groan. Fuck. Being an omega is a fucking nightmare. Why couldn’t I have been born an alpha? Or a beta?
“Audrey?” he calls when I don’t answer him.
I can’t because if I say a word it would probably end up being, ‘Please come fuck me. I need your knot.’ Just the thought of saying that has me ready to take him.
“Aud? Are you okay?”
