Theo grinned. “Each one of these beads contains an alpha tab. This way, you’ll always have them on you. And the entire bracelet is waterproof.”
My eyes widened. “Seriously? That’s amazing.” I threw my arms around him, tugging his head down to kiss him. He had given me this gift of security, of knowing I could defend myself against other alphas. It was the best present I’d ever been given.
“Just want you to be safe, angel,” he murmured between kisses.
I pressed myself flush with his body, pushing him until his back was against the wall. He groaned, cupping my ass and pulling my core flush with his growing hard-on.
“What’s taking so long?” Ben asked, coming up the stairs. “Aha, what do we have here?” he said, inhaling sharply. Before I could process what was happening, he was pressed against my back.
I moaned, arching against Ben as I continued kissing Theo. Ben’s hand tightly gripped my hip, and the other cupped my breast. I whimpered when he pinched my nipple, and slick soaked my underwear.
“Look how sexy you are between us, precious. So sweet for us,” Ben murmured, his hand snaking down to cup my mound. All thoughts escaped me as I rocked against his hand. Theo gripped my hair, tilting my head back as he nipped the sensitive skin on my neck. Ben put pressure against my clit and it was everything I needed as my orgasm built. I surrendered to the sensation, coming with a cry as pleasure overwhelmed me.
“Good girl,” Ben said, pressing his hard cock against my ass.
“For fuck’s sake. I was waiting in the car. It’s almost one.” Cam’s voice reached me as he stomped up the stairs, his growl sending another shiver through my body.
I was jostled around until I ended up in Cam’s arms, my legs wrapped around him.
“She was stressed,” Theo said, winking at me over Cam’s shoulder. “I had to help her relax.”
I pressed my grin into Cam’s neck. Theo’s plan had worked. My body felt boneless, the anxiety I’d felt moments earlier a distant memory.
“You were?” Cam asked sweetly, holding me tighter to his chest. “We don’t have to do this.”
“I want to go,” I said, running my nose down Cam’s neck. My mouth watered at his sweet scent, making me want to sink my teeth into his skin.
“Let’s change your underwear then, baby girl. You made a mess of them.”
My cheeks flushed, but I couldn’t find it in myself to be embarrassed, even as Cam brought me back into the room, changed my underwear and leggings for me, and smacked my ass as we headed down the stairs.
ChapterTwenty-Two
Cam
“Nice weather we’ve been having. Unseasonably warm.”
Josie, Jewel, and I stared at Logan, one of Angie’s alphas. He cleared his throat awkwardly, swinging his arms back and forth.
“This shop is… really nice,” he continued, looking around as if admiring the precariously stacked boxes in the back room.
“What’s wrong with him?” Jewel asked, brow furrowed.
Josie elbowed her in the side before turning back to Logan. “Itisa nice shop, isn’t it? And the owner is such a charmer.”
Logan gave Josie a tentative smile.
I pulled her closer so her back was against my chest and looked over to where Theo and Ben were talking with Angie. As long as I was touching Josie, I could keep my anxiety at bay.
She wrapped her arms around mine and looked up at me. “You doing okay?”
I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding and kissed her cheek. I wanted her to get the serum. It terrified me that she was so vulnerable around other alphas right now. Even Logan, who seemed to be the most awkward, shy alpha I’d ever met, was registering as a threat. I just didn’t understand why she needed to be the second person to try the serum. Surely there were others who could try it before she did to make sure it was safe.
Ben waved at me, signaling for us to come over.
“I’m going out front to run myniceshop,” Jewel said with a smirk. “Kick some ass, Josie.”
My mate smiled and gave Jewel a little wave.
