It’ll be game over.
Pre-heat scent is no joke. I’m literally a walking piece of cooking meat for starving predators. I’m foreplay in a smell.
And although a part of me is a little afraid of my first heat with a pack, another part is more than eager to be with them.
Because I trust them. So much. I know they’ll take care of me, and my omega completely agrees, already purring at the thought.
I shake my fuzzy mind clear, down another pint of water, and continue rescheduling my appointments for the next few days... Or maybe I should do a week, as Kaiden ordered.
Just in case.
When soft footsteps approach around an hour later, I’m in the middle of replying to an email about a consultation. And I’m so close to having it done, I just need a few more minutes… so I decide to slip under the desk.
The door opens.
I keep typing.
“Revea?”
I still.
Wait.
Type a couple more letters—
“Ve, I know you’re in here.”
“Shit,”I whisper, then sigh, slowly standing up… and there he is.
Luciano, holding the top of the door frame while leaning in, topless, and smiling.
With all that hard muscle, tanned skin, and bright teeth on display...
“Why aren’t you in our bed?” he muses, a devious twist to his smile.
“I… I just needed to do some work.” I force a small smile.
“Oh yeah?” He prowls closer. “Under the desk?”
“Well, I… I needed to...” God, the way he moves makes every muscle ripple. Is he bigger? More defined? I swallow. “Concentration—concentrate.”
His smile stretches wider. “Yeah, want my help, mami? I can slip under the desk, get on my knees, let you work while you try not to come—”
He stills a few inches before me and scents the air, eyes falling shut as he takes a long, slow drag.
Then groans so deep I feel myself clench.
“Baby.” His darkened gaze locks on me. “Give me one good reason I shouldn’t call Kaiden in here right now.”
“It’s only pre-heat!” I blurt, hoping that’s enough. But when his head tilts, I realise it isn’t. “I just have one more email—”
The air hums.
My mouth drops open. “You didn’t.”
He smirks.
I scowl. “You fucking—”
