“Is he cute?” I grin.
“You’re weird.” She blinks.
“Thanks.” I grin.
She sighs again. “I really don’t want to have this conversation without Emmett.”
“Doesn’t have to be anything serious. Just a few moments of your time.”
“Fine,” she mutters. “Over here.”
We follow her to the table by the windows and sit.
“So?”
“So.” Aiden looks at me, then her. “We’re scent matches.”
“Yup.”
“And how do you feel about that?”
“Honestly... I’m freaking the fuck out,” she says with a laugh. “The last thing I wanted were Alphas. I have a nice life here,and I’m already dealing with a big life change. I didn’t want two more.”
“We’re not trying to turn your life upside down. We just want a chance to get to know you. Maybe a chance to be with you.”
“We’re strangers,” she stresses.
“Most people are when they first find their scent matches. It takes you by surprise when you least expect it,” I say.
“Tell me about it,” she mutters.
“You can’t say you don’t feel a pull toward us.” I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms over my chest with a smug look on my face. “I can smell you from here.”
“It’s a biological reaction,” she defends. “Also, what is going on with that?” she asks, waving her hand towards my face.
My brows furrow. “What do you mean?”
“That.” She points to my forehead. “I mean, good on you, and all. But do you need to tell the world by spelling it out on your face?”
Confused, I grab my phone and open my camera app. “What the fuck?” I growl. “Aiden!” I snap.
The fucking bastard’s chest vibrates with silent laughter.
I look back at my phone and groan when I see the word ‘Cocksucker’.
“And I thought everyone was looking at me because I’m drop-dead gorgeous,” I groan.
Lexi snorts. “Full of yourself, much?”
“Listen, even with this on me, I’m still sexy. We both know it.”
Her cheeks grow red, but she doesn’t deny it.
“Back to what we were talking about. Yes, we’re strangers, but we’d like to fix that.”
“I don’t like Alphas,” she responds.
Damn, rough crowd.
