Timber lunges again, and I flinch, because an angry Timber is so freaking sexy that my cramps are telling me it’s party time.
“Now, now, baby. Don’t go scaring our omega.”
I tremble as Kane’s lavender scent floats out along with Timber’s buzzing coffee, like a maelstrom of calm energy that fires me up and helps me breathe.
“What happened then? Something must have triggered it,” I ask, finally stepping back because I don’t trust myself to get any closer to them. If either of them touches me, I’m a goner.
“Hm.” Kane looks at Timber with a fond smile that sends another bolt of need racing through me. “Well, we could say that this is all your fault.”
My mouth drops open, and he gives me another wicked grin before adjusting Timber.
“What the hell do you mean it’s my fault?”
“We just happened to see a little video of you that was hot enough to send Timber into rut.”
Fear stabs through me because there’s only one thing I can think of. I glance at the mess behind them, but that shouldn’t have anything to do with Timber. Yeah, my scent obviously says, ‘Come and get me, boys,’ but Timber had been at the rink all day, as far as I know.
So how do they even know I’d gone into preheat? Had they somehow seen what I’d done on Timber’s bed?
“I’ll explain later. But we need to get Timber fixed down so he doesn’t hurt himself, or you.”
I quiver with need, more perfume releasing from me like a dust devil. Timber stops in front of me, taking in another deep breath, but he doesn’t show if he’s actually getting a hit off me.
Without warning, Kane shoots out his hand, burying fingers in my hair as he catches me in a wild kiss.
I cry out against his mouth as it bursts with sweet lavender. It’s absolutely perfect with my scent. Heat suddenly swells, blurring out the pain of my cramps as I arch my back, pressing closer to him. I need more of him, I need to taste him deeper, I need him to give me everything I’ve been craving from both of them since I’d scented Timber for the first time.
I’m totally taken away with the kiss, and a purr instantly rumbles in the back of my throat as I’m surrounded by the scent of my two alphas.
“Nest, or Timber’s room?” Kane asks.
“Huh?” I murmur, already caught in a daze. I’m so close. Just one more kiss, another stroke of his tongue, or a growl from Timber, just something to push me over the edge.
“Where should we go, sweetness? What do you want us to do?”
My lips part, but a stab of fear goes through me, because my nest isn’t ready yet. I hope Kane is thinking what I’m thinking,especially as he tightens his grip on the scarves, and my gaze flicks to the stairs.
“Up there then?” he asks, his gaze following mine.
I bite my lip because my omega side is already raring to go, but I don’t want to do it like this. I want to make up with Timber, and know that we’re actually together, that we’re making love instead of tearing into each other. I don’t want my heat to come and then for both of us to wake up with regrets. I’ve betrayed him enough already, so I shouldn’t force him into this position, especially if he might not even be lucid for it.
“Come on, baby, we need to get you to bed,” Kane says as he tugs on the scarves and pulls him toward the stairs.
Timber’s deep growl as Kane presses against his ass to get him moving is the stuff of dreams.
My omega side kicks into action.
“Wait,” I gasp, leaping forward. “I’ll show you.”
“Yeah, it’s probably best you go in front. He’s just going to drag me back down the stairs to get to you.” His eyes hover on my ass as I climb them, his grin beating through his voice. “You’re just too delicious.”
I shoot him a glare, but my perfume gives me away. “I haven’t forgiven you yet, Kane Moretti.”
“You know how sexy it is when you say my name like that.”
I give a teasing growl, and he moans.
But it’s the sudden snarl from Timber that has me racing away.
