“All right, but let me get you cleaned up.” I stand up and put on my boxer briefs and remove the waterproof blanket that we were using, throwing it in the hamper. I get a warm washcloth from the bathroom and get the t-shirt she wore here.
I wipe her down gently, and she smiles at me as I do. Once she’s clean enough, I put my shirt over the top of her head and her arms through the holes.
“Do you want some rest?” She shakes her head no. “Do you want to cuddle?” She eagerly nods.
I lie with my back to the plethora of pillows, and she puts her back against mine. I wrap my arms around her and kiss the side of her face. Being able to actually kiss her and hold her now, I’m never letting that feeling go. I can’t help it when my chest rumbles with a purr for her, calming us both.
While I know she won’t really talk back, I talk to her anyway. “I can’t believe this is real. You’re so good for me, Cami. I’m going to do my best to be half as good for you.” I kiss her again and she preens under my attention.
She sounds like she could actually fall asleep soon, which would be great. This is going to be a tiring few days for the both of us. We hardly got any rest between bonding and her going into her heat.
Her small hands are wrapped around my forearm, and her skin is hot. I’m trying to think of the last time we ate or drank anything. Well, I wouldn’t know, because I fucked everything up by running to drink away my problems while she was worried about me. As soon as we’re out of here, I need to plan the perfect date to make it up to her.
I wonder if she would enjoy riding my motorcycle with me. Maybe we can do a weekend trip to Virginia and see Kelsey, and I can show her all my favorite spots.
“Baby, are you thirsty?” She actually nods her head yes, so I leave my place behind her to see what’s in the mini fridge.
“Water, Body Armor, Pedialyte?” I ask her and she doesn’t answer. So I go with Body Armor, ’cause I have the feeling her sassy ass is going to turn down water if I offer it. I grab a metal straw and place it inside of the container before I walk over to her.
She thankfully takes more sips than I had hoped for before she shakes her head that she doesn’t want anymore.
“What do you need, little star?”
Cami spreads her legs wide, giving me a marvelous view of her dripping pussy.
I lie on my stomach and kiss up her thighs, slowly inching my way to her cunt. She whines at me when I kiss her landing strip but not her clit. I push my shirt up her torso and palm one of her tits. Her hand covers mine and adds more pressure.
Just as I’m about to take her clit into my mouth, the door opens and I see Brody’s smug face. I forgot how much I hated this fucker. I get off my stomach and move to a sitting position. Cami plops herself into my lap and wraps my arms around her. I could be reading into this, but it looks like she is showing him who she truly belongs too.
Brody looks around the room and gives a gentle smile to Cami—that she doesn’t return. I want to tell him to get the hell out of here, but that isn’t my place. Cami needs this.
It’s for Cami. It’s for Cami. It’s for Cami.
The chanting inside of my head calms me down as Brody approaches the nest. He’s wearing a white t-shirt that shows off his tattoos, and jeans that are just a little too tight. It can’t be good for the knot. His entire presence reminds me of Jasper and how they viewed me. Brody gives me a little sneer, making it known that he isn’t pleased with this new arrangement. I’m sure he was hoping to be with Cami with other affluent and unbonded Alphas.
Cami springs from my arms and gets on to her feet and points at Brody. I see her take in his scent and she shakes her head like she is trying to remove a thought.
“Out!” Her voice is loud and demanding. I immediately get up and stand next to her, ready to protect her if I need to.
“Whoa, sweetheart. Remember, it’s me, Brody? We met a few days ago. I’m here to help you during your heat.”
“No, no, no!” she says as she shakes her head and looks at me and then at Brody. “Not mine, out!” She points at Brody again.
This moment is probably one of the best in my life. She’s openly rejecting an Alpha that isn’t me. In a pretty brutal way, if I’m being honest. I don’t know if Brody’s poor little ego will ever recover.
“What do I do?” Brody asks.
“She said to get the fuck out,” I say smugly.
“How the hell are you going to take care of her by yourself?”
Cami spins in my arms, and I hold her tightly. She looks over at Brody, who steps closer to her nest. His body posture screams confidence, like he can’t believe this is happening to someone like him.
“No! Out!”
“You heard the lady. Get the fuck out,” I bark at him, and he flinches. He might be an Alpha, but I’m easily twice his size.
“This is bullshit. I’m getting Tim.” Yeah, go ahead and get that asshole, I’ll fight him too if he tries to make someone join her heat she doesn’t want.
