“Oh hell yes!” I growl, rushing over to him, taking his hand in mine.
Thor left about an hour ago so he could go get everything we’ll need for Fantasy Fae night at Haze tomorrow, and Apollo is monitoring us from his hotel room. Hudson it is. He’s the only Alpha’s scent we’ve got anyway.
“Come on, first we need fluff.” I grab the blankets off of the second bed and hand Beau three pillows. “We’ll grab the rest if we need them, but those will do for now. Next we need a small enclosed space. I like to use closets, but since you already feel safe in the tub, I think that’s perfect.”
“Okay.” Beau nods, eyes wide as he follows me around the hotel room. He’s like a sweet little puppy. Only, he’s a very sexy Omega. Not an innocent puppy—no, Beau has sweet eyes that sometimes look lost, but he’s also a good foot taller than me, with muscles and…
Oh, I need to stop.
“Toss everything in; it doesn’t matter if it’s messy,” I command as I drop the blankets in first. Once he’s done, I grab his hand and tug him toward Hudson’s room.
He never closes his bedroom door.
“Hudson!” I knock twice before peeking inside. I grin when I find him lounging on his bed, watching TV. “Perfect. I need you to take off your clothes, and are you using all those pillows?”
Hudson frowns, glancing at the pillows on his bed. “Uh, no. I’ve just been using this one.” He gestures to the one under his head.
“I’ll take that as well,” I say, holding my hand out in front of me and making a ‘gimme’ gesture. “Wait.” I hold my hand up to stop him. “Go ahead and scent-mark it first.” I point, making a circle with my finger at him.
“What?” He squints, looking adorably confused.
“I need you to scent-mark your pillow, make sure it gets all over your clothes too, and then get naked, big boy.” I wiggle my brows at him, propping my hand on my hip. “Alpha?” I ask when several seconds pass by without him moving or speaking.
“Omega?”
“What are you waiting for?” I lift a brow at him, and he frowns, confusion only growing. Cute.
“Why do you want my clothes?” The caution in his tone as his eyes shift between Beau and me is understandable. I mean, I did barge into his room demanding he strip for me.
“If you give them to me, I’ll let you watch,” I offer in a suggestive tone. If I explain, it might embarrass Beau, but I don’t have a bottle of Alpha pheromones to use instead, so I need Hudson to cough up the goods. He squints but doesn’t protest as he grabs his pillow, marks it with his scent several times, and then climbs off his bed.
His scent reaches us, delicious apples and spice filling the air as Beau and I watch him take his shirt off, placing it on the pillow. Oh, that man is bad decisions and sex all wrapped up in one delicious Alpha.
“Are you going to watch the whole time?” Thumbs pausing in the waistband of his pants, daring me not to look away. Only a fool would. Alphas like Hudson are rare. Sexy and kind. Playful and protective. He’s a treat.
“Definitely.” Tilting my head to the side, honestly enjoying the little show, I watch every second. Slowly he lowers the sweatpants off his toned, tanned hips. I pout when I see he’s wearing boxer briefs. “Boo, not even a peek?” I tease, swallowing thickly.Did his scent get stronger?
I must be watching him with a half-feral look in my eyes, because the grin he sends my way is dangerous. Our hands touchas he passes me the pile, an electric current traveling from his skin to mine. Biting back a shiver, I focus on Beau.
Without a word, I nod toward the bathroom. Resisting the urge to bury my face in the pile of Alpha yumminess is harder than expected, especially when I realize he didn’t bother to dress before following us.
This is about Beau, not me.
Focus, naughty Dream.
“I don’t want to get my scent all over your nest, but I can talk you through what I would do...” Before I can finish voicing my offer, Beau is already shaking his head. The fear in his beautiful eyes makes me want to wrap him up in a blanket so I can keep him safe.
“I can’t—I mean, I’ve never even seen someone in a nest before. I don't?—”
“Hey, okay. It’s okay.Shhh.” I press my finger to his lips and wait for him to nod before I pull away. “Having another Omega’s scent in your nest can be very unsettling and even trigger territorial rage. I know your instincts are a little suppressed, and the drugs you’ve been injected with are probably making that worse, but you’re still an Omega. My scent might upset your already rocky instincts.”
“Wouldn’t your scent in this hotel be enough to fuck with my instincts by now? If it hasn’t happened yet…” he trails off, shrugging.
“That’s a good point.” He’s got me there. It’s something I hadn’t really considered because he functions as a Beta and lacks a scent that isn’t laced with chemicals. The thought makes my blood boil to the point that even after several deep breaths, I’m still heated.
“I like your scent, Dream. I mean, really like it. It’s comforting, and…” The way he bites his bottom lip draws my attention, and my scent reacts with a heavy dose of desire.“Fuck,” he grunts, chuckling. “Very alluring. Trust me, not only will it not upset me, I’ll actually enjoy it.”
“If for some reason my scent has the opposite effect, just toss everything back in my room.”
