“Lower,” I said as Kai pointed the scissors at my chest, carefully slicing downwards.
“Brandy, if I go any lower, your tits will be out on the table.”
“How am I going to show off my brand new bites to Zania if they aren’t exposed?”
I loved the way heat flashed in his eyes as I smirked. It burned through his body straight to his cock, and I felt every single bit of it.
The tips of his thick scissors traced the dip of my breasts as he fondly admired his handiwork.
I was a patchwork of fresh and healing bites that could have come from Kai, or Sin and Caspian. No one would know unless we told them.
The dinner was still three hours away. Zania had sent over a pure white dress and a suit this morning, with a note that said if we didn’t wear them, she’d bar the doors to us.
Which I was perfectly fine with. Until Kai told me that this was basically a showdown where I had to fight ten other omegas to win Caspian and Sin’s attention.
Which wasn’t exactly how I wanted to spend the day after a week snuggled up in Kai’s nest and pretending I was a normal omega instead of torn between being a beta and the new life I’d been thrust into.
But I wouldn’t have another chance to stand in front of Zania in a more private setting.
I didn’t even know what I was going to do yet. I still considered finding a way to make Sin and Caspian bite me so I could take them away from her, but that was only a permanent solution on my end. I had to find something that would actually impacther.
And the first step was displaying my new bites.
“Fucking hell,” Kai growled as he pressed the scissors just a touch too hard. My nipples responded to the closeness. “You look so goddamn sexy like this, you know that, right?”
Zania told us to wear the clothes, but she didn’t say we couldn’t alter them. Which was why I made Kai slice away the frilly gown and the collar that stretched up to my chin. There were puffy sleeves that hid my arms, and flat shoes with no grip that made me smaller than everyone else. So Kai added a short heel to compensate.
The Mel of three weeks ago, the one who still believed she was a beta, would have shuddered at going out in public wearing a strip of fabric that looked like it had been glued to my body. But Zania’s favourite trick was reminding me how low-class and unfit for her son I was, not just because of my size and background. So, showing off the bites running from my toes to my ears would show her how wanted I really was.
Walking around with Kai’s marks gave me a sense of confidence I’d never had before.
Especially when Kai’s gaze roamed over me like he wanted to eat me up.
We’d made love for three days straight, and I was almost as tired as I’d been during my first heat. Except I had another body to share my passion with, and, as the days flew by, I could feel how deeply that desire had changed.
Because when Kai nudged the scissors against the cup of my bra and pulled it away to reveal my hard nipple, love pounded through the bond, connecting us both, and making my heart soar.
“Are you going to go lower?” I asked him, looping a finger over my neckline to tug it downwards.
“I literally cannot believe I’m about to say this, but I think that’s enough.”
“Are yousureyou don’t want my tits out on the table?” I purred as I arched my back, the scissors just nicking the soft skin of my breast.
He let out a strained chuckle as he twisted his lips. “If it were up to me, I’d parade you around with nothing on.” Need fluttered through me as he leaned down to place the lightest of kisses on my lips. “But I don’t want anyone else looking at what’s mine.”
I hummed as I reached for him to pull him even closer, and he laughed. “Seriously, though, we barely have long enough to get this dress fixed up, and I need to make sure you look delectable.”
Kai stood in front of the large window that looked out onto the street, waiting for the car to pull up, but there was still nothing.
I sat behind him, watching his back as he stood tall and proud in his suit.
“Are you sure they’re not coming? Why don’t we just wait for them?”
Caspian and Sin were meant to pick us up half an hour ago. Kai said that we should get going, but I wanted to at least try. Plus, I’d love to see Zania’s face if I arrived on Caspian’s arm, no matter how late we were and pissed off he looked about it.
“Brandy, this is the thing about Sin and Cas, okay? You don’t wait for them. If they don’t come when they say they will, just don’t expect them to show up,” he growled.
