He nods. “Maybe it was the scent match bond, maybe not. That’s why this thing with Tucker is fucking with my head. Because I know I feel just as strongly about him as I do for you and I don’t know the man. I’ve hated him, wanted him dead until today. I really was planning on killing him, Nova. When I saw you two together, I was going to put him down.”
“I’m sorry you found out this way. We were waiting on Tucker to feel comfortable telling you. I know now we should have told you right away.”
He lets out a heavy sigh. “Honestly, I don’t think I’d have reacted much differently.”
“You mean you would have still fucked up.” I grin.
“Omega.” he growls in warning.
“Okay, sorry.” No I’m not. “Can you give Tucker a chance, please?”
“I don’t trust him.”
“I didn’t ask you to. Just be nice, talk to the man. Get to know him. Please? For me?” I pout.
“How could you not know I love you?” he growls. “You have me wrapped around your fucking finger.”
“Maybe because you never told me.” I roll my eyes. “Unless crazy bitch was code for I love you.”
“It was. Not my fault you didn’t figure it out.”
“Fuck you.” I laugh.
“I’d much rather fuck you.” he growls, grabbing the back of my head and pulling me in for a kiss. I moan, my pussy growing slick, my perfume filling the air around us.
“Fuck!” Nick growls. “Nova, get this thing off me. It fucking hurts.”
“No.” I smile softly. “Not happening.”
“Nova!”
I get off him and back away.
He gets to his feet, and I swallow hard as he towers over me. For a moment a trickle of fear seeps in, then he takes a step towards me and flinches, moving like he has a stick up his ass and I can’t help but burst into giggles.
That's when Tucker chooses to come back.
“Everything okay?” he looks between me and Nick. Then he sees how Nick’s standing and huffs out a laugh.
“That's it, I’m killing him.” Nick growls and starts to charge for him, cursing as he waddles his ass towards Tucker.
I laugh so hard I nearly piss myself. Tucker darts over to me, making Nick have to turn back.
“Come on.” I grab Tucker’s hand. I pull him towards the side door and out to the deck.
“Your ass is going to be so fucking red when I get my hands on you Joyrider!” he shouts.
“Can’t wait, big guy!” I call back, laughing as we head for the beach.
“Is he okay?”
“No.” I say honestly. “But I think with time, he will be. What about you?”
“Better. But, what if he hates me forever?”
“He won’t.” I bump my shoulder against Tucker’s.
“Nova?” We stop and I look up at him. “Can I kiss you now?”
