I suspect that he does.
“Too slow,” Piper calls over his shoulder, sprinting for the pool.
“Careful,” Lionzio scolds. “Don’t run.”
“Let’s get out of here before he turns full mother hen.” Zero clasps my hand and yanks me after him, as I laugh.
I struggle to kick off my elf boot and then my other shoe. Immortal twists and helps me to rip off my shirt and then wriggle out of my trousers.
Exhilarated, I’m breathing hard, laughing, and feeling more liberated than I have in years.
Piper dives into the heated pool with a whoop.
When he emerges, his hair is plastered over his eyes, and his silk scarf is soaked.
I carefully don’t focus on his neck.
He hasn’t revealed his throat. Most Omegas are proud of their bond mark. Yet sometimes, something goes wrong with the mark, or maybe Piper had a previous pack and has suffered through a Broken or Shattered Bond.
It is not spoken about if an Omega covers their mark because there are too many reasons why they may have experienced trauma, scarring, or be triggered by it.
Playfully, Zero scoops me up off the cold ground, before kissing me just as deliciously as I had imagined he would. Then he’s jumping into the pool with me in his arms.
I hold my breath, as we’re submerged into the unexpected heat of the pool that makes me gasp after the freezing, winter air.
The water splashes around us like a christening.
We emerge spluttering in a watery rebirth, splashing each other in a play fight.
“Reckless,” Lionzio calls after us, “impulsive, and…”
He starts to march after us, but Icarus catches him by the arm. “Let them enjoy some freedom. It may feel like it, butwe don’t need to be responsible for them…for everything…every moment.”
Lionzio studies his new Chief Alpha. “It seems that we may have had some of the same experiences, huh?”
“Some of the same trauma too maybe. But while those brats mess around in the water, why don’t we get to know each other?” Icarus’ voice becomes seductively smooth. Lionzio’s cheeks tint with pink. He leads Lionzio away further into the suite.Suave.“How about a brandy? The mini bar is well stocked. I should know.”
“I like you already.” Lionzio slings his arm around Icarus’ shoulders.
Zero swims toward me, spinning me so fast in a circle that it feels like dancing.
I laugh.
The pool isn’t overlooked. The view is out onto the forests and vast mountains behind the hotel.
I have forgotten how beautiful it can be here. Yet only for those who are allowed into the sun.
I let the sun soak across my upturned face.
“Bloody typical that those two suits would bond over boring shit like brandy. Well, now we have our Omega alone, wet, and naked whatever shall we do with her?” Zero presses his plush lips to mine.
The sensation of my wet skin against a Beta’s, which is something that I have never felt before, makes my breath catch.
I wrap my arms around Zero and allow the water to push me up and down against him, feeling his hard cock teasing against my pussy and clit.
I press my breasts harder against his chest, enjoying the electric spark sensation through my nipples at each brush against his.
Our gazes hold and meet.
