I clear my throat, and he stops what he’s doing to look at me with some frustration. “Luna really missed you at movie night.”
He waves his hand at me and shakes his head. “She’s here for Alphas, I’m just an extra.”
My brows furrow, and I cross my arms. “So that’s why she was inhaling your blanket like it was a new addiction.”
That gets his attention as he stands straight and looks at me. “Okay?”
I sigh and approach him. His stance is open, so I put my hand around his neck and squeeze lightly. “It’s not just about Ian and I, it’s about all of us. She asked about you multiple times. I’m just saying, she’s an Omega. I think she needs to know that you’re interested just as much as you need to know that she is.”
He takes in my words with a nod of his head.
“She was really sniffing my blanket?”
“She was, made me hard.”
He snorts and shakes his head. “Yeah?”
“Yeah, wanna feel?” I push my crotch against him, and he laughs.
“Raincheck. I need to finish manicuring these plants tonight.”
“Fine, I guess Ian and I will just have to jerk off tonight.”
James nods and turns back to his plants. “Guess so.”
“Love you, night.”
“You too,” he says as he goes back to his work. I shake my head but smile. I fucking love him, quirks and all.
Chapter 12
James
Myneckisstartingto hurt, so I decide to call it a night, well, or a morning. Making some changes on the thermostat and the heat lamps, I leave the greenhouse and lock the door. When I turn, there’s a light splash in the water. When I look over, Luna is sitting on the side of the pool with her feet swirling in the crystalline water.
I’m attracted to Luna, and I think our pack needs her. The fact is, I’m not the Omega that Ian and Ezra desire. I know that they love me, without a single shred of doubt. But I’m not the feral, needy, wants-to-be-spoiled Omega that they crave. I want Ian and Ezra to be happy, and I know how to share. Luna being our pack makes sense. But where does that leave Luna and I?
Two Omegas isn’t particularly common, but I’m intrigued by her. I worry that I can’t give her what she needs. She needs Alphas; she doesn’t need an Omega who likes a copious amount of personal space and who lives in his own head.
She looks up at me and smiles softly.
“Hey,” she says.
“Hey.”
“Can’t sleep,” she says, swirling her feet in the water, making small ripples throughout the whole pool.
“I’ve got something for that if you’re willing.”
She nods, and I sit down next to her. We aren’t touching, but if I moved an inch, we would be. I take my vaporizer out of my pocket and a baggy with the already ground up bud, putting it in the end.
“I…um, I’ve never smoked before.”
“You don’t have to,” I tell her with complete honesty. This isn’t a hobby anyone in my pack has to share with me. Ian and Ezra do every now and then, but mostly it’s something I do alone.
“I want to, especially if it helps me sleep.”
“New room?”
