I bite my lip at her cute little hiss of anger.
She does a double-take. “Would you stop looking at me like you’re about to cream your damn pants?”
“Maybe I am.” My lips curve into a slow grin.
She glares at me, but I see the pink staining her cheeks.
“Ignore him. Could we talk for a moment? Start over. Because the fact is, wearescent matches, and that's not something we can just ignore.”
“We can try,” she replies dryly.
“Maybeyoucan, but I know we can’t,” Aiden says.
“Yeah, you’re already carved into my heart and soul, Princess.” I shrug.
“You don’t even know my name.”
“It’s Lexi.” I cock my head to the side.
“And how the fuck do you know that?” she growls like an angry kitten.
“I heard Emma say your name yesterday,” Aiden says. It’s not exactly a lie. But I don’t think right now is the best time to tell her we’ve been looking for her for years, Aiden even longer.
“So about that chat?” I ask.
She looks between the both of us and lets out a sigh. “I can’t talk to you until I talk to Emmett.”
“Who’s Emmett?” I growl. “He your baby daddy?”
“Could you please stop talking?” she hisses. “No one knows I’m pregnant. And I’d like the father of my baby to know first.”
I’m not exactly sure how I feel about my Omega being pregnant with another man’s baby. Sure, we would love him or her either way, but if this other man is going to cause issues, we’re not going to put up with it.
“One night stand?”
“Really?” She glares at me. “Do I look like the kind of girl who sleeps around?”
I look her up and down. “No,” I admit. “But you look like a girl who would sleep with me.”
She snorts out a laugh. “In your fucking dreams, asshole.”
“Damn right, baby.” I wink.
“Dear god, Sloane. Would you shut the fuck up,please?” Aiden snaps.
“Listen to your boyfriend. He’s smart.”
“Ouch.” I clutch at my chest.
“We can talk here, in public, close by someone you know, if it makes you feel any better.”
“Again, who’s Emmett?” I press.
“Emmett is my Omega,” she answers.
“But you’re an Omega,” I point out.
“Gold star for you.” She rolls her eyes. “I can be with whatever designation I want to be with.”
