“Will you be able to walk on your own?” Kai asks.
“Yeah, I think so.” I’m almost reluctant to get off Jacob’s lap as a blast of cold wind comes in through the open door. The warmth of the car almost made me forget about the chilly storm raging all around us. Gritting my teeth, I slide off him and climb out of the car.
My teeth chatter from the cold as I frantically blow on my hands.
“Shit! I forgot you’ve barely got anything on,” says Kai, hurrying to take off his coat.
Warmth engulfs me the moment he places the heavy overcoat on my shoulders. A delicious scent of oranges and cloves hits my nose, reminding me of spiced wine.
So, that’s what he smells like, I think to myself as a smile curves my lips.
“Come on,” Jacob says, coming to stand beside me. “Let’s get you inside.”
Draping an arm around my shoulders, he leads the way forward.
We walk up a short flight of stairs to reach the main doors of the Victorian-style manor. Kai walks on my other side, and together we step inside a glittering hall full of vintage paintings. A chandelier glitters overhead, bathing the luxurious interiors of my rescuers’ home.
I’ve never been inside a home that was as lavish as this manor. It looks like the foyer of a posh hotel, except there are no staff around.
Suddenly, I feel Jacob’s gaze on me. Looking away, I cross my arms over my chest, waiting to see what they do with me next.
Jacob moves closer, hooking a finger under my chin and forcing me to look up at him.
His silvery-gray eyes look into mine, making my heart pound in my chest. It’s not exactly fear but some unknown emotion I’ve never felt before.
“You don’t look as awful as before,” he says in a deep voice that reverberates through me. His nostrils flare as he leans close to me, the tip of his nose skimming along my neck. “Do you have any idea what could happen to an omega who doesn’t use a de-scenter?”
Jacob’s gives me an accusing stare.
Confusion flickers through me. Ialwaysuse a de-scenter to mask my scent. How can he still catch my perfume? Did the snow fade away the spray’s effects?
His gaze darkens, sending a thrill of danger through me.
“She needs a hot shower,” Kai says, coming to my rescue. He grabs my wrist and pulls me alongside him. “Come with me.”
I find Cole at the foot of a staircase as Kai leads me toward it. He watches me with cold eyes before following behind us.
Kai stops on the second floor and points along the corridor. “This way,” he says, tugging at my wrist.
We pass by several closed doors until we stop at one at the end of the hallway.
“What is this place?” I ask as he pushes the door open.
“This is one of our guestrooms,” he says. “You’ll stay here tonight.”
Glancing backward, I find both Cole and Jacob right behind us. They’re both watching me, studying me as I stumble after Kai.
The room is spacious with a large bed taking up most of the space. Heat floods my cheeks as I wonder whether they’re thinking about getting into action right away.
“What were you doing all by yourself this late at night?” Jacob asks.
“Uhh...I was waiting for someone.”
The three brothers raise their eyebrows in an identical gesture. Cole’s scars make his face scarier but I don’t look away from him.
“They never came for me and I got mugged,” I quickly make up a lie. “But you know what? I can please you too.” Moving forward, I stand directly before Jacob. “I can show you a good time for helping me out.”
Jacob’s expression tightens.
