Levi rubbed my back and sides soothingly and gathered me against him. I trembled, panting. The ache between my legs bellowed for release, but my Alphas had pulled themselves out of me before any of us had come. My fear mixed with my arousal, the whole scene hazy.

Talis stalked forward and stared down Evander, even though my dark-haired Alpha was a few inches taller and several inches broader. “What I see is two of my men taking advantage of a guest. Not just a guest, a person under our protection. Where is your integrity?”

Evander growled, and Levi held up a hand before he said something harsh. Levi’s voice was calm and measured when he spoke. “Talis, no one is taking advantage of anyone here. We’re all consenting adults. Neither Van nor I would do that. You know us.” His other hand made slow circles on my lower back. “We agreed that we would help with Callista’s heat. The three of us talked about it. None of us want her to suffer.”

They’d had a talk about it? Like I was a mission? I gritted my teeth and squeezed my legs together. My body was still locked in the heat of the moment. I couldn’t wait for them to have another discussion.

Talis scowled at the other two Alphas. “We did, but this… This is beyond the help we agreed upon. This is an orgy!”

“What the hell?” Evander snorted and put his face an inch away from Talis’. “Like Levi said, consenting adults. So fuck off.”

“It takes more than three people for an orgy,” Levi murmured under his breath with a little amusement.

I might have laughed, but it still looked like Evander and Talis might kill each other. I put a hand on Evander’s shoulder. “Please. Don’t fight.” My voice betrayed the desperate need which continued to race through my veins. “I’m fine. We’re fine. Everything’s good. No one needs to worry about anyone. I need—”

“See?” Evander puffed out his chest at Talis. “She’s good.”

“I can hear her just fine,” Talis shot back. His gaze briefly landed on me, raking down my body. It was as if I could feel him touch me, and I shuddered with want for more.

“Can we—”

Evander cut me off. “So go and do some bossman shit and let us finish.”

Talis’ cheek twitched. Then he stormed around us and nabbed the blanket Levi had left on the picnic basket by the door. He tugged me away from Levi and wound the blanket around me before pointing at Evander and Levi. “You two need to clean up and get your act together. This is way more than what we agreed upon. I forbid you to come anywhere near Callista while she’s a guest in our house.”

His words shook with the power of his Alpha authority. He didn’t wait for them to respond. Talis scooped me up over one shoulder and marched swiftly out of the kitchen.

Evander cursed and threw the stool against a wall. Levi slammed a hand down on the counter, snarling something at his friend. Yet they didn’t follow. Part of me hurt because they didn’t, but I also didn’t want them to fight with Talis. I didn’t want them to ruin their friendship or even leave their jobs because of me.

I squirmed as Talis practically ran through the house to the blue guest room. What was he thinking? Was he going to lock me in my room? The thought made me panic, and I pounded against his back as I screamed for him to put me down.

Once in my room, Talis put me on the bed not so gently. I bolted out of it, heading to the door before he could lock me in. “You can’t do this! I wasn’t doing anything I didn’t want to do. You had no right!”

He stood in the way and closed the door with one foot. “You’re not going anywhere. I have no doubt you’re doing what you think you want, but your heat is controlling you. I don’t want you to do anything you’ll regret later.”

“My heat is controlling me?” I gasped. Like he had any idea what it was like! Some Alphas thought they knew everything. My anger only seemed to make my arousal hotter, but I wasn’t going to let him see it. “I regret nothing. Everything I’ve done is because I’ve chosen to do it. In the kitchen there, that wasmychoice. I toldthemwhat I wanted.”

“And they shouldn’t have taken it as far as they did,” Talis snapped. His chest heaved more with each breath. “We are supposed to protect you and keep you safe. Not just your body, but your honor as well. There are other ways—”

“My honor?” Was that all he was concerned about? It was always about honor and integrity and doing the job right. I was not a precious artifact to be hidden away and kept safe. Fuck him. I dropped the blanket and put my hands on my hips. “Is it all about just doing your duty? Was what happened between us in the gym just part of your duty?”

“What? No,” he grunted and furrowed his brows. “I did that for you.”

“And I liked it. A lot.” A lot didn’t even begin to cover how much him eating my pussy had turned me on. “As far as I could tell, you liked it too.”

“Yes, but—”

“No buts.” I wasn’t going to let him ruin that moment. “I wanted it. Just as I did in the kitchen with Evander and Levi. My honor is just fine, thank you. No one can take it away from me if I don’t let them.”

Talis clenched his fists and forced his hands behind his back, locking them back there. He inhaled deeply, nostrils quivering. Every muscle under his skin tight t-shirt was taut. “It’s not just about my job. I’m trying to be respectful. You need help with your heat, but they didn’t have to…” He growled and clenched his jaw. “You’re to be claimed by Senator Grant. Any Alpha worth his salt would know if his Omega has been knotted by another. I don’t want you to throw away your future.”

“My future!” I laughed, sounding a little crazy as I did. I couldn’t stop staring at his chest and those rippling abs. I hoped I wasn’t drooling, but I couldn’t stop my slick from flowing. I whimpered and ran my hands through my hair. “I don’t care what Carson thinks. It’s not…” I was having such trouble keeping my thoughts straight with the pain of my need. I wrapped my arms around myself. “I don’t want…”

“Callista,” Talis said tightly. His voice made me ache even more. “You’ve stated you are to be claimed by the senator. He’s already possessive over you. It’s one thing for us to help you with your heat by making you orgasm with our hands and mouths.” Those last words came hot and breathless, and his face twitched again. He was fighting to keep control. “But it’s only respectful of your position if we don’t… Go any further.”

Is that what he was concerned about? I couldn’t hold myself back anymore. Reaching out, I ran my fingers over his big shoulders and hard muscles. So good. “I don’t care.”

“But you will. Later. After this… is all over.” His voice was quiet and husky. I could hear his heart pounding.
