Some gruff Spanish words run through my head.
“We need bite guards. All of us.”Kaiden sends over the bond, then adds,“And maybe a gag for Sylvan.”
“We’re going to get bite guards for your heat,” I say to Revea happily, grinning as I add, “And a gag for me.”
Revea’s eyes go wide. “Erm… well. That’s…” Her cheeks become redder, gaze darkening. “That’ll work.”
Her scent strengthens, fingers crawling over my chest. I look to Kaiden. “Maybe we should get Revea one too.”
“Oh my god, Sylvan.” Revea slumps her face into the hollow of my throat, nuzzling my skin.
Kaiden chuckles, glancing over at me. “Good idea, Sylvan.”
“I… I can’t come again. Ican’t,” Revea moans, and I realise Kaiden’s fingers are inside her.
My cock rehardens.
“Priority delivery,”I stress before capturing Revea’s gasp with my tongue.
Revea
“Thanks, Lyana. You’ve been a literal angel.”
“Well, you’ve been the best client I’ve had in a long time. You actuallylisten. Don’t tell the guys I said that,” she says in a low murmur, making me smile. “Now go and enjoy your week-longbreak.”
My brow arches. “Why are you saying it like that?”
“I’m not saying it like anything,” she quips sharply. “We all need abreaksometimes.Especiallyusomegas. But I am just a tiny bit curious to know if I’ll be receiving a similar call today? Maybe from a pack? Maybe the pack that put me in charge of your PR in the first place?”
I huff a laugh, shaking my head. “Why do I just know you’re grinning?”
She laughs manically.
I sigh. “Yes. You probably will. No doubt they’ll try to convince you it needs to be longer—”
“I fucking knew it!” she snaps in triumph. “I’ve been shipping you together since Val’s first grumpy phone call. Then, when I saw the paparazzi photos?” She groans. “Do you know how many TikTok edits there are of you guys?”
I frown. “TikTok what—?”
“Anyway, this is perfect. No one will suspect a thing because they’re yoursecurity. They’re just keeping you niceandsecureduring your h—break. And when you come back from yourbreak.” I can practically see her winking. “I’ll help you take control of the narrative. Whatever way you wanna go with it. I’ll run those blood-thirsty, conniving journalists into the fucking ground if you want—”
“Once I’m back, we need to meet in person.” I chuckle, cutting off her murderous thoughts.
“Oh, didn’t I mention? I’ve already put a date in your calendar.”
The phone call with Lyana was a great distraction, because only two days after Sylvan had me ordering things for the nest, I woke up this morning with the tell-tale signs of a heat.
Clammy, sensitive skin, everything too scratchy, too loud, too bright. Not to mention the fact that I was already sleep-humping the alpha’s thigh I was wrapped around.
Thankfully, not enough to wake them.
And thankfully, I’m only in preheat.
I still have my mind. I’m not lost to a fog of lust. But since my heat wasn’t scheduled for another week, I’ve had to put things in place quickly.
So with a final glance at the sleeping alphas, I snuck out of Kaiden’s room with my phone and laptop and set up in the back office.
Margret was my first call, then Lyana, and now I’m just racing the clock. Because I know the second one of my alphas wakes up, they’ll track me down, and when they find me…
