They all stared at me with different ranges of confusion about where I’d asked them to sit on the couch.
“You want to gowhere?” Dorian repeated after I’d already said I wouldn’t say.
I barely stopped myself from rolling my eyes. Instead, I tucked the strand of hair behind my ear. All morning, I’d spent getting ready and combing through all the clothes I’d managed to have Dorian purchase for me. Selecting an outfit was hard; all the clothes I’d gotten were nice, and now we were parting ways.
Crossing my arms, I lifted my chin. With Alphas, nothing was ever easy, much less getting them to go along with something that they don’t have all the answers to.
“We should know where?—”
I put a hand up to interrupt Rafe. “So, you’ll deny me this. Just as you have denied me everything. Got it.” I turned on my heel, prepared to march back to my room.
“Maybe we should listen?—”
“Fine,” Dorian’s growled word interrupted Cade.
I stifled my smile and turned back around.
“Good.” I met each of their gazes superficially, not fullylookingat them. Not the freckles across Cade’s nose, or the beauty mark on the crest of Dorian’s cheekbone, or Rafe’s deep-set brown eyes that seem to strip me raw.
“Be ready by seven.” I turned on my heel, keeping my pace steady, and refusing to rush like my pounding heart demanded I did. There were only a couple hours left until it was time to leave. Hopefully Cade would be busy getting prepped because him watching my every move was driving me crazy.
Reaching my room, I finally let the smile grow. Bossing them around was nice. At least I’d gotten a taste of it before I never saw them again.
“Turn here,”I announced, peeking down at the Epad Dorian gave me to make sure it was the correct direction.
“Give me the device?—”
“No,” I shouted, scooting away until my back hit the car door.
“Fine,” Cade pouted, leaning against the seat, arm stretched out and still on my thigh. Throughout the entire drive, he kept trying to touch me. Eventually, I was so tired of swatting him away, I let his hand stay where it was. He’d been so touchy since last night. Since taking my ‘forgiveness’ bullshit to heart. Honestly, he seemed like a different person. All night, he stayed on my bed with his too touchy, roaming hands.
Fortunately, I was still exhausted from the bouts of sex, so sleep came quickly. Today was the first time I was starting to feel the soreness leak away. All that was left was the occasionaltwinge in my thighs. With Cade no longer trying to see the screen, I peeked down to make sure we were on the correct route.
“Why are we here?”
Rafe pulled into a parking spot and idled. “Is this a mistake?” A neon yellow light with an outline of a woman sprawled on her back blinked from over the entrance.
“Nope. Turn the car off.” Before they could try to take off, I shoved open the door and hopped out. A moment later, the window rolled down.
“If you’re making a point?—”
I slammed the door in the middle of Dorian’s comment and sped to the entrance before they attempted to shove me back in the vehicle. I waited patiently at the entrance, watching Rafe pull the car toward a parking spot in front. Cade’s door was already open before the car fully stopped.
I turned and bumped into a muscled wall. He had to be an Alpha with this physique. His scent tickled my nose while his dominance radiated, confirming my assumption.
“There’s no need to run into me for attention, precious.”
His smile was dazzling and inviting. I blinked, taking a moment to wrap my head around the beautiful man standing before me. He was a pretty man. The prettiest I may have ever seen . . . Still, my heart didn’t shudder. I yearned formine.
“I didn’t mean to bump you like that,” I said politely, allowing a smile. Alphasloveda preening Omega.
“Back the fuck away from my Omega.” Cade was suddenly holding my waist and tucking me close to the front of his body. Grabbing me so hard that it was difficult to breathe.
The Alpha’s grin widened. “My apologies, she doesn’t smell claimed.”
“Fuck off, Langley.” Dorian’s voice was like a whip.
Is that his first name or his pack name?
