“Can I use my hands?” He leans forward.
“To do what?”
“To take care of you.”
I freeze on his knees.
I’m not exactly desert dry after Reese’s lesson, but I’m far from unleashing the flood like a real omega would.
He shoots like a freaking garden hose.
Meanwhile, my soil’s barely damp.
Maybe the asterisk is for vaginal dryness.
Shame hits worse than my water analogies.
Hot, heavy dread withers my belly until my hand feels covered in drying glue.
The familiar wiggle scrapes the back of my neck in warning. “We can’t. I don’t think I can—”
“Not like that. I didn’t mean—” Reese rushes to explain. “Just… I want to hold you after.”
The worm wriggles south.
I crunch my shoulder blades, trying to kill the scritch.
Please don’t ruin this.
But I can only fight my body—and reality—so long.
Reese lifts his hand.
My neck crawls until fire rips my chest. Then my whole body nopes the hell away from the alpha of my dreams.
I backslide, rolling from his lap.
“Sol. Did I—” His voice rips. “Did you not want…?” He reaches for me, injured shoulders shaking.
“No. No.” You’re everything I want. “It’s me. I just—” I can’t keep you. “I need to run to the villa. Promise you’ll ice your shoulder.”
His eyes darken. “Rather you did it for me.”
That’s someone else’s job.
I kick the fallen ice pack to him. “I’ll check on you later.”
“Little late to pull the trigger now.” Reese yanks his shorts to cover his slick abs. “If you want to toss my ass—”
I laugh.
The most nervous, shrill, sickening laugh.
I’m running out of lies and layers.
Honesty is the price of kissing alphas I can’t keep. “I’d never get rid of you.”
Reese licks his cocoa lips, eyes lighting with crazy hope. “Then…”
