He swallows hard and nods. “You left your sweater at the cafe, I tried to let you know, but you already left. So I was going to bring it back to you before I headed home. I was just about to knock when Nick pressed a gun to the back of my head.”
“He what!?” I shout. “That fucking asshole!”
“He made it very clear he didn’t like me before he scented me. Then... he, well... I’m sure you could guess how he reacted.” He rubs the back of his neck. “He didn’t take it very well.”
“So what, he shoved you into the garage and fucked you?” I ask, raising a brow.
“Yes and no. I think he was really planning on killing me, and that fucking hurts more than I thought it would.” He rubs at his chest. “But I think the scent bond started to heavily affect his instincts. It sure as hell was for me.” I lower my hands and step back giving him some space, while he scrubs his face with his hands and let’s out a harsh breath. “I wasn’t in my right mind. I was around my Alpha, my scent match. I went full Omega and well... I asked for it. All of it. For him to fuck me, knot me, bite me.” His cheeks grow pink. “And he did it. Mind you, not nicely.”
“Did he use lots of dirty talk?” I can’t help but bite my lip. “Like, some degradation?”
“Yeah.” He blinks.
“Yeah, he wasn’t being mean to be mean, it’s how he is. It’s hot a fuck, honestly. If you’re expecting anything else, you’re out of luck with that one. Anyways, continue.”
“One moment he was choking me out–” My eyes widen and Tucker looks away. “And the next moment... he just snapped and we started kissing. One thing led to another and, yeah.”
“I mean, apart from how it ended, it sounds kind of hot. I wish I was there to see it.” I grin.
He groans, tossing his head back with his eyes closed. “That’s the fucked up part. It was. It was so fucking hot. The best sex of my life, and I’ve had a lot of it.” He lowers his head and looks at me. “But he bit me, then acted like it was the worst thing in the world.That’swhat fucking hurts.”
“Don’t be too hard on him. I only say this because he was blindsided. And well, before you, he was very straight. He didn’t get the chance to process being scent matched to anotherOmega, who happens to be a man. As someone who’s been around their scent match for months, I can tell you the bond fixes almost anything.”
“Just what I wanted. A man who only wants me because I’m his scent match,” Tucker sighs.
“Don’t be like that.” I squeeze his arms. “That's how our world works. We don’t have control over who, or what gender we’re scent matched to. I’m not into women, but if a female Alpha was scent matched to me, I’d be on my knees begging for her to let me please her.” I shrug. “I’m also a big believer that love is love, gender shouldn’t matter. The scent bond might be what brought you two together, but it’s you, Tucker Davis, that will make him stay.”
“I don’t know.” He leans against the car and sighs. “He hates me. Not just because I’m the Omega he doesn’t want, but because he truly believes that I’m a bad guy. I told him I dropped the case, that I wasn’t going to keep digging, but he doesn’t believe me.”
“And he won’t, for probably a long time. Hell, I’m still getting to know Nick and as you know, our start wasn’t any better.”
“How did you get to where you are with him now?”
“Time? I don’t know. I guess the more time I spent with him, the more we started to accept one another. The biggest reason he didn’t want an Omega was because he was afraid his father was going to use me against them or harm me in some way. I’m not really sure what the story is there, but when they found out their dad died, a lot of the worry about me being in their lives died with him. Then he took on getting the club back in shape, and we kind of just slipped into this pack dynamic. I think if you give him some time to process not only that he's mated to a man, but to trust you’re not a bad guy, everything will be okay. Plus, you have the rest of us on your side, so that will help.”
“I hope so.” He smiles. “Thank you for being so amazing, Nova. I don’t deserve any of this. Or you. I came into your life and turned it upside down.”
“Good thing I love excitement in my life.” I wink.
“I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“That he marked me before you.”
“I am a little sour about that.” I shrug, reaching up to brush my thumb over his mate mark. He shivers, sucking in a breath, and I smirk. “But I don’t want to force things with him. He will bite me when he can pull his head out of his ass and tell me he loves me. Because I know that fucker does, he’s just too stubborn to admit it.”
“So what do we do now? Why did you knock him out?”
“Well, my sweet boy.” I grin, grabbing his hand. “There's no way in hell I’m going to let him disrespect you like he just did. Our big bad Alpha needs a little punishment.”
“Do I want to know what you're going to do?” Tucker looks at me warily.
I bite my lower lip, grinning with excitement. “It’s going to be fun, I promise. Well, for me at least.”

“Okay, I’m recording,” Ian confirms.
