“But,” Syl starts again, completely unfazed, “you told me in the car she’d agreed to have her next heat with us, so why does that matter?”

This time, Luc and I switch languages.

“Sylvan.” Kai leans forward, elbows on his knees. “That does not mean she wanted to be rutted over her reception counter.”

Fuck, now I’m picturing it. I close my eyes until I can shake it away.

“Can we pause the rutting and go back to the part where you said she’s agreed to have herheatwith us?!” Luc’s eyes dart between the two of them.

“I’d like that clarified too,” I add, voice gruff. “Explain.”

Kaiden smiles, wide and smug. Of course he is. I’d be the same if I’d gotten into a situation that ended in that spitfire of an omega almost tipping me into rut.

“She was trying to give me the five-year plan speech, so I thought tactically and took a risk. I offered our pack for her next heat,” Kai explains simply, while my heart pounds and Luc’s mouth drops open. “The last thing I managed to do was confirm it. Told her to find out when it is and book off the week.” Then he turns to Syl. “And before that, she barked at me.”

“Joder,” Luc mutters.

“Coño,” I breathe.

Syl’s angry brows finally soften. “And it worked?”

Kaiden slowly nods. “That’s what almost began the rut.”

“Holy shit.” Luc falls backwards on the sofa, throwing an arm over his eyes. “She’s hot as fuck, owns a business,andshe can bark at us?”

He groans, and knowing my brother, he’s already imagining what she could do with that bark.

And by the sudden silence… we all are.

I shift, already getting hard at the thought of her barking me onto my knees. She wouldn’t even need to. I’d drop with one look from those sharp eyes.

“But why did her bark nearly begin a rut?” Syl asks slowly.

“Because he liked it, Sylvan,” Luc mumbles from beneath his arm, pulling it away to find Syl peering down at him, brows pinched again.

Luc sighs, then sits up. “Syl, I want you to imagine Revea—”

“Done.”

We all chuckle softly.

“Okay.” Luc grins. “Now, imagine her telling you to get on your knees, but it’s a bark you have to follow.”

His blue eyes darken. “Oh.”

Luc looks between us. “I think we’ve all unlocked a kink tonight, boys.”

“But I also like the thought of barking at Revea...” Syl poses that like it’s an opening to an essay, not a discussion about sexual preferences.

“I barked back.” We all turn to Kai in sync. “And her reaction…” He runs his tongue over his canine. “She was shocked, not that I did it, but because it worked.” Then he leans in further, like he’s whispering a secret. “And because she liked it.”

Luc groans, tipping his head back. “Santo Dios…”

“Gracias a Dios,” I mutter under my breath while Kaiden grins.

“I’ll check,” Syl says, pulling out his phone.

Luc frowns. “You’ll check what?”
