Olly’s a fucking beta. Not an omega.
Christ, I swear this cock has a mind of its own.
I head for the kitchen to grab some protein bars to toss in my pack, not knowing how long our little stakeout-operation Orion is going to take. Diego’s plan to pose as a migrant worker should get him inside, enough to get a handle of the layout of the house since Auryn’s memory isn’t enough to give us a clear idea. The plan is simple—get in, grab an Orion, get the info we need, and take out the man who let those fuckers hurt our Omega.
He will pay for his crimes, that’s for sure.
When I get to the kitchen, it’s dark. I don’t bother to turn the lights on, knowing where everything is. I grab some protein bars and make for my stash of jerky, because if there’s one thing I love on a stakeout, it’s salty food. Chips are too noisy, but I can grind the tension in my jaw away with some tough meat.
My hands are starting to get full, so I shut the cabinets and head back out into the hall, immediately hitting a brick wall. I move to brace myself, and I drop my food all over the fucking floor, and when I look up, I see the reason is…
Fucking Olly.
“Watch where the fuck you’re going asshole,” I bite as Olly huffs out an annoyed sound.
“I believe it isyouwho needs to be more aware of your surroundings, Emmett. Clearly you need to be reminded to look both ways before crossing any sort of street.”
I bend down to grab my protein bars with a growl, noting that he stands tall.
“Don’t just fucking stand there,” I bark. “Clean up the mess you made,Olivander.”
Olly looks nonplussed, completely unbothered by my growl or bark.
What the fuck?
He crosses his arms, judging me from where he stands. Seriously, what is his problem?
I think he’s going to say something to piss me off, maybe even walk away. But he doesn’t. He drops to his knees and carefully picks up some bars and a few packs of salted nuts. He hands them to me like they are made of glass, and I snatch them from his hands. My fingers slide against his as I do so, and my cock twitches.
No. Fucking no way in God damn hell am I touching that with a ten foot pole. We could be the last two idiots on the face of the planet, and I wouldn’t let Olivander Montgomery within distance of this fucking cock. Fuck that.
He wrinkles his nose and then gives me a questioning glance.
“Why do you smell like Auryn and…Diego?”
I chuckle darkly. “Aren’t you supposed to be smart, Olly?”
His scowl makes me grin and chuckle, and we both stand up.
“I—”
“Think about it, Boy Genius. Why doyousmell like Auryn?”
His expression pales for a moment as his eyes go wide, and I think he might actually pass out. But instead, his eyes light up, and a grin spreads on his face, and I think I miscalculated his reaction altogether.
I wondered if he’d be pissed. Diego and Gage, yeah, I’d expect them to bristle and peacock the fuck out because we’re alphas. Asserting our dominance is part of our DNA, just like the drive to rut and breed an omega is part of our DNA. I get the posturing fromthem, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to see Olly get his fucking panties in a twist.
The idea of shaking him, of cracking his stone armor, is almost as enticing as pushing Auryn’s buttons.
“I have so many questions,” he says, his pupils fucking dilating, and I think I’ve fucked up.
He’s not pissed. He’scurious.
I groan, knowing if I don’t evade him now, I’m not going to make it out of this compound on time.
“Later,” I bite as I push past him, knocking into his shoulder hard.
He whines. Like a little kid who’s dropped his fucking cookie. I roll my eyes. “But—”
