“Let’s go,” the other officer says, cuffing Smith and that’s when I lose it and can’t help it when I cry. Smith groans and looks down at the floor, trying to calm himself. I can tell he hates the fact that he can’t comfort me.
I’m directed back to the lobby of the jail where Dom and Kelsey are waiting for me.
“From the smell of things, I’m guessing my brother is doing okay,” Kelsey asks, and I roll my eyes.
“Let’s just go home.”
“We’ll get him out soon,” Dom promises me. He puts a hand on my back and holds Kelsey’s hand with the other. “You ladies want to pick up something to eat before we head back?”
My appetite has been shit, but Kelsey says Thai food, which Dom nods his head at and agrees to pick up on the way home. He looks down at her with affection and it makes me miss Smith, even though I just saw him a few minutes ago. At least he knows I love him and that we’re good. It’s what he needs to stay strong through this.
Chapter 25
Reliefwashesovermeas Cami leaves and the officer escorts me back to my cell block. She is so sure of us—of me. I’m an idiot for overanalyzing her emotions down the bond. I should have known better, I’m going to work harder to get over my issues on inadequacy.
She didn’t even seem mad that I was here, more so at the situation. Knowing she has our family and friends supporting her at home, I think I’ll be able to sleep tonight. At least I hope so, I know I look almost as bad as I feel.
What I didn’t take into consideration walking back to block A is that these Alphas would smell my Omega’s scent as soon as I walked in.
Multiple eyes scan me as soon as the officer uncuffs me and leads me to the common area. I won’t be able to shower until later this afternoon. The thought of these other Alphas smelling my Omega, my Cami, has my anger bubbling over the edge. I breathe in and out, trying to calm down my possessive nature. Even if they can smell her on me, there’s nothing they can do.
Cami’s words repeat in my head ‘be a good boy.’ I growl lowly. Getting in another fight won’t help anything.
“Damn, been a hot fuckin’ minute since I’ve smelled some sweet Omega pussy,” one of the more obnoxious inmates says.We will not punch him.
I clasp and interlace my fingers on top of the table. I won’t let him goad me into an argument. Cami is working to get me out of here—I need to behave. I need some fucking sleep to tame my temper. If only I could have gone down on Cami, then I would be in a better mood to deal with this asshole.
“Oh fuck off, Trigger,” Tire says to the man as he comes and sits down next to me. At least I easily made friends with one of the cellblock psychos.
“Easy for you to say, Tire. Have you ever even smelled Omega pussy before? Maybe the big fuck will give you a whiff of his fingers.”
I growl and inhale and exhale deeply, trying to keep my composure. Never in my life have I felt so possessive about someone. She’s not even here, but the need to defend her honor is intense.She’s mine. I don’t want any other Alpha taking pleasure from her scent. It’s for me, and only me.
“Man, don’t let Trigger get to you. He’s just being a little bitch because his Omega requested bond removal.” I sigh and think about how I thought Cami would want the same. It’s an intense procedure, more so for the Omega. It’s like having a tattoo removed, but with more sessions and so much more emotional pain.
“You shut your fucking meth head mouth,” Trigger yells at Tire.
“You wanna tell everybody what you did to make your Omega want to leave your ugly ass?” Tire asks the man, arching an eyebrow. The man shrugs his shoulders, gives Tire the finger and walks away.
“What’d he do?” I ask Tire.
“I don’t know, but it has to be bad if he hasn’t told anyone,” he says. I shiver at the implication, there are a few heinous things I can think of.
“I wasn’t thinking about her scent and what issues it would cause.” Why would the officers not have enough forethought to let me clean up after? Maybe they don’t give a shit; they seemed really put out to let me have a visit. So maybe they just don’t agree with the policy.
“It happens every time Connor comes back to the block. He should have told you. Though he likes to let everyone know what he just did. You’re different.” I grimace at the idea of showing off Cami’s scent. Connor just went down majorly in my book that he flaunts his bonding privileges.
“His Omega doesn’t care?”
Tire laughs. “Sherry is in and out of jail just as much as he is. She found out her cousin, Uma, was trying to fuck Connor one time, and she burned her with a curling iron.” Tire laughs again.
“I need to get the fuck out of here,” I grumble, placing my face in my hands. I get a hint of Cami’s sweet scent again.Fuck, she smells so good.
“Who’s your girl, anyway?”
I sigh, not wanting to put any of Cami’s information out there. Last thing I need is these guys knowing my Omega is famous.
“She’s actually my boss, I was her bodyguard.”
