I’m glad he thinks that’s funny.
It’s not as amusing when I lean over and lick his arm a few minutes later.
He glances at me. “What was that?”
“You missed a spot.”
He shakes his head.
I don’t know what I’m trying to prove here, so I stop.
My lusty dick eventually goes to sleep inside my pants now that the visual of Jay licking my taste off his fingers is finally gone from sight.
Sighing, I lay down, my head against his leg.
“Wake me when we’re home.”
Chapter Fifteen
Jay
Getting home almost three hours late, both of us completely drenched in Harper’s perfume, we don’t quite get the inquisition I was expecting. I lock the apartment door as Harper kicks his shoes into the nook at my side.
“Anyone home?” I call out, only halfway joking as I toss my keys on to the side table.
The heavy footsteps of our lead Alpha precede his arrival in the living room doorway.
Falcon’s frown is deep as he directs his stare at me. “Where were you all this time? And why didn’t you answer your phone?”
“We took a detour,” Harper tells him, presumably cutting in because he can feel the tension Falcon’s energy is bringing into the room. “We would have called, but Jay’s battery died, and I left my phone here by mistake.”
Falcon doesn’t look pleased as he turns his attention back to me. “Make sure you have a spare charger on you next time you go out. I was ready to call the cops.”
“Thank God you didn’t,” Harper jokes. “If they’d found us, we might have been arrested for public indecency.”
I can’t help the snort that slips out, but Falcon clearly doesn’t find it amusing.
“You’re supposed to be looking after Harper when you take him to work,” he tells me, his voice low and full of jagged anger. “Don’t indulge his reckless nature when you’re with him. All that does is puts him at risk.”
I press my lips together tightly as I consider my response.
If Falcon was just being an asshole because he’s in a mood, I would have already snapped back at him. As it is, I know he was actually worried about our Omega. He’s mad at me for a reason.
I can’t fault him for that. I’d feel the same way if he’d done the same thing.
“It’s fine,” Harper murmurs, already on his way towards Falcon, ready to try out that calming touch trick that usually mellows him out. “We’re fine. Nothing bad happened. Nothing bad even came close to happening.”
“That’s not the point,” Falcon grumbles.
“I know,” I tell him. “I’ll make sure we’re beyond reproach from now on.”
Falcon nods after a beat, once he’s sure I mean what I’m saying.
It takes Harper slightly longer to realize I’m not soothing our Alpha’s anger.
He makes a disappointed sound as he reaches Falcon.
“We were only having fun,” he mutters, as he snuggles into Falcon’s side.
