“You are still going to heal me no matter what?”

“Yes, why?”

She kicked him. Hard. She dropped to the floor and stood looking at him as he bent forward and covered his groin. She whispered in his ear, “If you ever laugh at a sound of arousal from me again, you won’t hear another. Understand?”

He raised his head to stare at her, and there was a dark gleam in his eyes. “You do know I am going to get even for that at one point.”

“You just mocked me for letting my guard down. Try it again, and I will do it in heels.”

He looked at her and slowly straightened. “True, but you also know I am an ass, and yet, you didn’t kick me out.”

She opened her mouth and snapped it shut. She crouched on the floor. “Princess, come here and explain yourself.”

The beautiful auburn, long-haired cat wandered over to her and looked at her with rich green eyes. She picked up Princess and murmured, “Why did you pick him? He is made entirely of ego.”

Princess lifted her chin and purred. Renner obliged. She looked off to the side and blinked when she saw the alphas chatting and Owen sitting with the kittens.

She looked at Owen, and he grinned back at her. “They are agreeing to a strategy to deal with you.”

“What?”

“You heard me. I am not an alpha, so my strategy will be to love-bomb you, making sure that your every need is met until you need something and look for me.”

She snorted.

“Don’t laugh. I am sure that it is going to work.”

“How do you know that?”

“It’s how Mateo and I got together. He threw a ton of money at the Omega Centre for a private contract, and I agreed as he was better than my other options. So, I have learned from him, and I am going to work on spoiling you, and Mateo is going to do his best.”

“Well, you are up against Thanatos who knows where I like to eat.” The man in question turned and smiled at her before turning back.

Armand jolted and said, “Ready to heal her now.”

She paused and set Princess down. “What do I need to do?”

He grinned. “Injury is your shoulder?”

“Yeah.”

“I need to see and touch it.”

She huffed and then winced when she remembered the dress was too tight just to pull it to the side at the neckline. She reached behind her, unzipped her dress, then pulled her left arm out of the dress and picked at the wrap.

Armand looked at her. “Can I help?”

She nodded. “Sure. When I do it, there isn’t an audience.”

She could see the fresh blood on the outside of the bandage, and Armand was surprisingly careful as he peeled it off. He hissed softly, and she looked. “Ew.”

Armand sighed and finished getting the wrap and non-stick gauze off, front and back. “Not the worst I have seen. Now, stand up straight, Renner.”

She straightened and was surprised when he dropped to his knees and still had to bend his head a little. He said, “This might sting at first.”

She winced, and he put his lips over the wound, and then his tongue pressed against her. There was the general throb of pain, but then she started squirming. He wrapped an arm around her and held her still.

His slowly moving tongue paused as he leaned back, and Thanatos handed him a knife. Armand flicked the tip against the stitches, then he leaned forward, pulled the stitches out with his teeth, and then continued to lick the wound slowly. He leaned back and smiled. “That side’s done. Turn over.”
