Luna scoots up in her chair, her eyes hazy from all the drinking. “Wait, and he went out of his way to tell you that they broke up and wanted to give you a tour of his cute little fire station?”
“And you were kicked out of the house because of his reaction to your scent?” Cora reiterates.
“The hot firefighter who saved your pussy wants you,” Riley says and I toss a pillow at him.
“He does not. He was just doing his job and is a decent person,” I reply back.
“Is he hot?” Cora asks.
Like she works for the CIA, Luna pulls up the fire department images on her phone and shows everyone a picture of Nate. Riley whistles.
“Yes. Hot,” he says
“It doesn’t matter. He didn’t ask me for my number, he just took the muffins and we’re even now.”
“I was also once an oblivious dumb Omega. Things will all work out,” Luna says.
“What does that even mean?” I ask.
Riley pets down my hair. “It means your mom’s ex-boyfriend wants to fuck you and we all think you should let him.”
I blink rapidly and then can’t help the laughter that tumbles out of me. “You all are delusional and this is what I get for actually coming out.”
“Having an amazing time?” Riley says.
I grin from ear to ear, because he’s right. I am actually having an amazing time. Who would have known that I actually was in major need of some Omega advice?
It makes me realize how much alcohol I’ve had.
“There are enough guest rooms for everyone to stay the night, or Ian can have a driver take you home, whichever you prefer.”
“I need my car for tomorrow.”
Luna smiles, pushing her light blonde hair out of her face. The other Omegas seem to want to keep the night going, but I think I’m maxed out on socializing.
“Come on, I’ll show you to your room.”
She leads me up the stairs and we run into her Omega. He doesn’t smile, but wraps Luna in a hug.
“How much later do you think you’ll be up?” he asks her.
“Not much longer,” she replies and he kisses her head and walks back into his room, acting like I’m invisible.
“Sorry about him, he’s…well, he’s just James.”
I give her a smile as she leads me to the room.
“There are brand new T-shirts in the drawers with no scents on them and scent free products in the bathroom. If you need anything, just let me know.”
“Luna?” I say as she goes to walk away.
“Yeah?”
“Thanks again for having me tonight. I didn’t realize how much I missed having friends to talk to.”
She takes a few steps and wraps her arms around me, and I hug her back, even if her lavender scent is making my nose itch.
“It’s what I needed too.”
