It’s still dark outside,so I have no idea what the time is, but there are strange footsteps outside the house and someone is trying to sneak into my room.At my side, Vera seems to have woken up too, as I feel her hand go to the knives that she knows I keep hidden in here.
As quietly as possible, so that the intruder doesn’t notice it, I slide one of the knives to Vera’s hand as I take one of the others for myself.
The intruder is coming closer and closer to the closet, no other sounds but their breathing and their quiet footsteps.I don’t notice any pheromones, but no intruder would be dumb enough to spread their pheromones around when they’re going to attack someone.
When the intruder seems to hesitate for a moment, Vera kicks open one of the doors of the closet and jumps out.I’m only a fraction of a second behind her, following her every step, making use of the difference in our heights to grab the intruder.
The intruder seems surprised by us, not even trying to defend themselves as we tackle them to the floor.
He lets out a surprised burst of air.“Fuck!”
Mathew!
What the fuck?!
I feel around, finding the switch from one of the lights in the room, and the low glow shows Mathew on his back on the floor, Vera sitting on his legs, both looking very confused.
“Why are you sneaking around?”Vera slides next to him, her fingers carefully moving over him.“Are you hurt?”
Mathew sits up, rubbing the back of his head and then his ass.“I might have a few bruises, but I don’t think there’s any real damage.”
“What were you doing?”I scoot over to them, feeling the back of his head and then methodically slide my hands down his back to make sure he’s really fine.
“I was trying to check on you two, but didn’t want to disturb you.”He smiles sheepishly.“Next time, I should probably just turn the lights on and disturb you...”
Vera pulls a face, her voice quiet.“Probably.”
“I guess you’re lucky I’ve got a thick carpet in my room.”Now I’m sure he’s telling the truth that he’s not hurt, I wrap my arms around him, pulling him close, putting my nose against his neck to get even a sliver of his wisteria pheromones.
Vera sits between his legs, looking at him with worry in her eyes.“Why did you want to check on us?Is something going on?”
He nods, looking down, his body tense.“People have been trying to hack our security feeds.They shouldn’t have gotten through, but I’m not taking any risks.I wanted to quickly check on you, make sure you were okay, without waking you up.”
Hacking the security feeds?
“Anything we can do?”I have no idea how long we’ve slept, but I’m too wound up now to go back to sleep.
“Not really.Timothy and the others are working on it.Derrick has doubled the security around the house, just to be safe.But there’s not really much the rest of us can do but wait.”He leans back against me, relaxing, his breathing slow.
“Maybe we should move to the bedroom and sleep?”Vera stands up, holding out her hand to Mathew.
He laughs, but accepts her hand and stands up too.Then they both look at me, holding out their hands.
I shake my head as I wave them off.“You two go to sleep.I’m going to clean up here and then get some more work done.”
The two Omegas look at me for a few moments, then lean in and hug me between them.
“Don’t stay up too late.”Vera’s voice is soft.Then her lips are on my cheek, Mathew’s on my other cheek.
“You too.”I grin at them, knowing that there’s about a fifty-fifty chance they’ll have sex for the rest of the night instead of them going to sleep.“Sweet dreams.”
I watch the two Omegas leave my bedroom, hand in hand, looking so cute.While I’d love to join them, I’ve got way too much adrenaline rushing through my body right now.Going back to sleep is not an option.
Time to get some more work done.
