When he lifted his head, he looked dazed. “Oh, wow. No problems on my end. You are so close to an omega, it is ridiculous. I always called Ford an idiot, but now, I get it. I mean, there are other reasons to call Ford an idiot, but his attachment to Olivia isn’t one.”

She chuckled, and Mateo cupped her jaw in his hand, turning her to face him. Her eyes went wide as he pressed light kisses to her temple, down her cheek, across her jaw, and then down to her neck.

He nuzzled at her neck, and understanding struck. She was going to speak, but a small moan came from her lips. He had just found the spot that made her knees weak and caused a huge wave of heat to rush through her. She dropped. The alpha caught her and held her against him.

“Whoa. I am going to remember that.” Mateo chuckled. “If you were fully developed, that is where the scent gland in your neck would be.”

Owen smiled. “It’s where mine is, but I don’t do that.”

She blushed. “I can’t explain that one, but what happened to my hair?”

Owen smirked. “Mateo likes your hair. A lot.”

There was a soft purr, and she blinked. She had never made an alpha purr by standing next to it. Mateo’s eyes were slitted as he looked at her and stroked a hand down her hair.

“Okay, wow. Uh, I have to get back to work?” Owen and Mateo were broadcasting heat and safety around her.

Owen smiled. “Great. You can help us with the adoption paperwork for these two.”

Thanatos said softly, “And Rigor is waiting to go home with me.”

Armand grinned. “And Princess and I have some shopping to do. Let’s go.”

Her phone began to ring urgently. She looked down at the number and groaned. “Just a moment.”

She went to a corner and picked up. “Hey, Ford. How are you doing?”

“Great, Renner. We have just figured out what to do for the Women’s Day video, and I need your help.”

“Uh, what do you need?”

“Just some transitions done for the video game. You would just have to go in and do some motion capture tomorrow.”

She hissed, “I can’t do it tomorrow. I am doing a thing.”

“Wednesday?”

“Another thing. I have another thing on Wednesday.”

“During the day?”

“No, in the evening. I guess I could do it in the morning. Am I going to get banged up?”

“No. Simple transitions. You will just be in the suit and going through a few scenarios. Do you know any teen girls? We don’t want to do any casting.”

“No. I don’t think I know any teenagers.”

Thanatos cleared his throat, and she looked at him. “Ask Thera.”

“Fine. I will ask her. You ask her mom.” She turned to the phone and said, “Ford, there is a young girl in mind.”

“Great. So, arrive cute and be prepared to fight with Andrea. She’s in town, and when you are around, she’s always irritable.”

“I haven’t made one move toward Antonio or anyone from their pack. Even Amble is completely safe.”

Ford chuckled and started saying,“Amble has his beta and is very happy. I wish she would—”

Owen snagged the phone. “Listen, Ford, you can bet that I am going to be coming along with her to whatever appointment you are asking her to go to.” He paused. “Yes, it’s Owen.” He paused again. “Yes, Mateo is here. Now, are you putting her in danger?”
