“Harrydidcatch us,” Wilder said.
A laugh burst from my chest. “Really? What did he say?”
“Nothing,” Leo said with a scowl.
“He said Leo was the worst getaway driver he’d ever seen.” King grinned. His hand twitched like he wanted to run it through the beta’s hair but he stopped himself. I glanced at Wilder and he met my gaze with an arched eyebrow, clearly having noticed it, too. Did Leo and King realize they were attracted to each other? Maybe one of them would make a move tonight. I hoped so. I wanted my guys to be as close to each other as they were to me.
We inched up to the curb outside my shop.
“What do we do with this?” Leo asked. “Return it to Stanley’s?”
I shook my head and hopped out of the passenger’s side. “He’s already in bed, so there’s no risk of him discovering it tonight. Summer and I have a deal that anytime I leave the cart here, she moves it back to Stanley’s for me when she gets up at the ass crack of the dawn for the bakery.”
“Little omega schemers.” King’s arms encircled me from behind.
“Oohhh, that’s a good group chat name. I’ll have to write that down.”
We moved to the door until we were in the same position we’d been after the Eggstravaganza. I fiddled with my keys. This was it—the fork in the road. Down one path was a safe, boring, romance-free life. Down the other? Possible heartbreak, but also the potential for something incredible.
It was an easy choice. My guys had made it an easy choice.
“Are you coming inside?”
King growled and scooped me up in his arms. “Of fucking course.”
Leo took my keys and opened the door, and King carried me straight upstairs. He gently put me down outside my bedroom and caged me against the wall.
“Are you going to let us into your nest, baby girl?”
“What will you do to make it worthwhile for me?” The bratty words were out of my mouth before I could stop them. My omega was at the surface, my instincts taking over.
King let out a low laugh as he collared my throat, giving it a slightsqueeze that made me whimper with arousal. “You don’t want to test me, little omega. I’ll always come out on top.”
“But what if I want to come on top?”
Leo snorted and King glared at the beta over his shoulder. I used the distraction to my advantage, ducking under King’s arm.
“Just, um, give me a few minutes.” I slipped into my bedroom and closed the door behind me. This was my sacred place. My exes had never wanted to come inside my apartment—they said it was too messy and cramped—and my omega had somehow never wanted them in my nest. I shook my head. How had I missed all the obvious red flags? I’d been dreaming of having Leo, King, and Wilder in my nest since the first day I met them, and now it was finally here.
I plugged in my string lights. They crisscrossed the entire ceiling, illuminating the organized mess on the large, low mattress that took up most of the room. The walls and ceilings were painted dark mauve, and there was a plush olive rug on the floor. The nest itself was layered with cozy blankets and pillows in an explosion of earthy jewel tones. And layered underneath everything was my secret stash. My cheeks turned bright pink and I thought about hiding the articles of clothing I’d been slowly stealing from the guys, but then I steeled myself. If they couldn’t accept my omega, they didn’t deserve me.
I opened the door, letting out a little squeak because King wasright there, his arm resting above the door frame. Leo was right behind him, and Wilder stood to the side.
“You can come in,” I said shyly.
A smile split King’s face and I was left momentarily stunned at how gorgeous he was. His dark hair fell lazily over his forehead, and his chest rumbled in a purr as he leaned down to kiss me.
“Thank you, baby.”
I stepped aside and held my breath as the three of them squeezed into the room. I crawled to the middle of the nest, my body lined with tension as I ran my hand along an emerald-green velvet pillow. “I know it’s a lot…”
“This is so cool,” Leo said, eyes wide. “I love it.” He propped his cane against the wall and flopped down on the nest, pulling me into his arms.
“Uhh, Leo,” Wilder said.
King cringed. “You’re not supposed to…”
“What?” Leo looked between them. “Why are you just standing there?”
