“We’ll see.” I was still conflicted about the entire thing, but I’d need to get on the same page at some point.
Slipping a hand in between the gauzy curtains, I peered inside to find both of them cuddled up together.
My eyes roamed over Artie’s bare shoulder until it made it to the fresh bond mark that stood out in stark contrast to the omega’s pale skin. It was just above Leith’s and I wasn’t sure if she’d done that on purpose or if, instinctively, she knew which side was his and wanted to share that with him.
Then I finally let myself look at the sleeping woman next to him.
While Ciara had given him a single bite, it looked as if the omega had gone to town on her. Her smooth skin was marred by bites that had bruised but not quite broken the skin.
“Jesus, was he gnawing on her?” I asked a little too loudly and it caused both of them to stir.
“A bit,” Leith said as he pulled his pajama pants up and knelt on the edge of the nest causing it to sink. “I’m gonna take her and get her cleaned up. Can you handle him if he wakes up?”
I nodded and watched wordlessly as Leith scooped her naked body up and cradled her tenderly to his chest.
“Even if it came about in a surprising way,” he said, his green eyes soft on her in the dim light of the bedroom. “I am glad she’s a part of our pack now—and I also think that guy out there is a good fit, so be nice.”
“I’m always nice,” I grumbled, making the other alpha laugh softly.
The door to the bathroom clicked shut behind them, leaving me with Artie who was slowly starting to wake up again.
“Enzo?” he mumbled sleepily, turning to face me. “When did you get back?”
Pulling my clothes off down to my boxers, I grabbed another water bottle from the bag and crawled into the nest. “A few minutes ago. I hear you’ve been a real troublemaker today, babe.”
“I thought the suppressants would do a better job of keeping it at bay,” Artie confessed, clearly under no delusions that we wouldn’t pick up on what had happened.
“Did you?” I asked, uncapping the water and holding it up to his lips. “Drink.”
He moved to push it away, but I wasn’t going to let him get away with that. “Drink, omega.” This time it was a command.
With a heavy sigh, Artie let me put the bottle up to his lips and tip it, pouring the cool liquid into his throat until I was satisfied that he’d gotten enough.
“When all of this is done, we’re going to have a serious conversation about those suppressants and you going to practice in heat,” I told him with a frown, watching as pink started to creep up his neck again—a telltale sign that another heat flare was coming.
“But for now?” Artie asked hopefully.
“For now,” I said, pushing my boxers down. “I’m going to help you through your heat so you don’t suck the life out of those two in there.”
Truth be told, his pheromones had been making it hard to focus ever since I opened the door. It took everything in me not to crawl right into the bed with both him and Ciara, but at least one of us had to stay rational.
I didn’t even know if Ciara wanted me the way I wanted her. We hadn’t spoken since that day in the broadcast closet and just thinking about it made me feel confused.
But I knew Artie wanted me and I wanted him just like always. It had started with the two of us and if his grabbing hands and little smile were any indication, he’d missed me just as much as I’d missed him over the last three days.
Every inch his skin smelled like a mixture of the rest of my pack. Apples and cinnamon mixed in so intrinsically with his own oranges that it was almost like it was coming out of his pores.
Our kiss was hurried as I slipped a hand underneath him to touch his slick asshole.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry,” Artie chanted, slapping my hand away and rolling onto his stomach, presenting himself for me.
“Impatience will get you nowhere, omega,” I chastised him gently, but placed the head of my cock at the tight rosette of his ass.
“Hypocrite,” the omega purred with a huff as I hilted myself entirely in one long thrust.
Leaning over his body, I brought my mouth right next to his ear. “Don’t I know it.”
Then we began to rock as Artie’s heat took the both of us away.
