It didn’t feel like we’d paid himmuch, but maybe our payment came from all the alphas who’d watched.
Heat crept up my neck.
Whatever.
I’d been with Sin just where I was supposed to be.
“It’s still polite to thank you,” I said.
“You don’t need to be polite to him either,” Sin muttered. “You’re too nice, firefly.”
“Maybe I can take a page out of your book then, omega.” Dominic looked faintly amused at the exchange. “Thank you for the great show.” He held my eyes, and I could almost feel Sin’s hackles rise in the bond.
“Y-you’re welcome,” I said, trying to keep the flush from reaching my cheeks, and suddenly feeling as though the eyes in here were a little too… prying.
But… we needed Dominic to like us, didn’t we? So he would grant us another favour and give Sin the contacts he needed?
I didn’t see the harm in showing my appreciation for what he’d done for us already.
Instead of arguing, I shuffled closer to Sin and waited expectantly for him to make his request. It was probably more complicated than simply blurting it out—he wouldn’t be so stressed if it was simple.
I was here for emotional support, and hopefully not to mess things up for them.
“Niceties aside, what do you want? I know this isn’t a social call,” Dominic said.
“Coloured contact lenses.” Sin sounded way more casual than he’d been back in the cell. “My eyes might freak out the people assessing us at our appeal. Rather not risk it.”
Dominic’s expression flashed with interest, and he stood languidly from his chair. He stopped too close for comfort to Sin, and I tried to place myself between them, but Karma’s hand on my shoulder stopped me from moving forward.
He searched Sin’s eyes, and I wondered what he saw there.
“You’re just about out of bargaining chips, aren’t you? What are you paying with? Another show?”
“No,” Sin snarled.
“Oh, come on. We didn’t get to watch her suck your pretty cock in the last one.”
I froze at those words, and my heart skipped a beat. The panicked rushing in my ears didn’t stop me from hearing Sin’s growl. “No more shows.”
Dominic rolled his eyes with a chuckle. “No blowjobs, no contacts. I’ve had requests, Sin, and you two sweet little things don’t have long left here. Can’t afford to disappoint.”
Karma released me as I turned to Sin, holding him back with all my might as he tried to launch forward. The Redgrave pack members shifted, as if reminding us they were there.
Dominic didn’t flinch.
“I’m sure you’ll be fine at your appeal with your eyes on proud display,” he said with a smirk, though his gaze shifted between both of us. “But in case you change your mind, I’ll procure those contacts for you. Come see me when you’re ready to talk real deals.”
I clutched Sin’s arm, nails digging into his muscle as each of my breaths came faster.
Weneededthe contacts.
We wouldn’t get out without them.
But what he was asking…
I loved my pack. I loved Sin. I didn’t even hate being exposed in front of all those alphas if it meant being claimed by my mates.
But my chest got tight at the memories, the horrible feeling of Luke Anderson… everywhere. He’d… well he’d put his dick in my mouth and it was gross—and not all that impressive, I was realizing now.
