“I saw the closet doors. Thank you.”
“We can get rid of yours too,” he said. “I had no idea that the knobs on the inside weren’t connected to the latch.”
A tiny meow rang out, followed by Cinder appearing in the doorway. She looked at all of us with a tiny expression that said it wasabout timeshe found us, and trotted right over and leapt onto the couch next to Aiden. He didn’t move, watching the small cat warily.
“Not a cat person?”
“Not particularly. She is cute, though.”
Turning in a little circle, Cinder curled up against Aiden’s leg. I giggled, stifling the sound with my mouth so I didn’t startle her. Aiden sighed, but he didn’t move her, instead running a finger down her spine. “It’s fine for now, but don’t get any ideas.”
Brooks stood. “After that? I think we all need some ice cream. Are your sugars okay for that?”
I nodded. “Should be. They were fine this morning. I would like cookies and cream with whipped cream and sprinkles, and I would like you to serve it to me on your knees, please.”
He leaned over and flicked my forehead gently before kissing it. “Brat. Keep it up and you’ll be the one on your knees.”
He was halfway to the kitchen when I called, “You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
Brooks disappeared. Sounds of doors opening and closing echoed before he came back. “We’re out of ice cream, so we’ll have to order it. And I have a few ideas of what we can do with the delivery time.”
“Oh? What would those be?”
Logan picked up Cinder and carried her out of the room. “Can’t have innocent eyes see what’s about to happen.”
Crossing his arms, Brooks stared down at me. “Take your clothes off, Omega.”
I smirked. “Make me, Alpha.”
He tossed me over his shoulder, carried me off, and did just that.
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

TRINITY
Ishoved the bite of ramen into my mouth. “Oh my god I’mstarving.Forgot to eat this morning.” And the rest of the morning I’d had my head down doing research for the article. I now had all the files from the flash drive—the ones that weren’t corrupted—and was actually writing the piece so I could present the story to Edgar.
But as usual, when I focused on something that hard, everything else went out the window. Including food.
Isolde laughed. “Good thing we kidnapped you then.”
We were at lunch, making up for me skipping weekend brunch. And telling them abouteverythingwas amazing.
“I’ve never seen you wear those before,” Ocean said, pointing.
I glanced down and laughed. “My hand chains? O, if you haven’t noticed these, we need to have a talk about your memory.”
She rolled her eyes and leaned forward to grab my hand and flip it over. “Nice try. Didn’t work.These. I mean these.” Her finger pointed to the miniature padlock on my bracelet. These were tiny silver ones that had inlaid opals in the sides.
I told Aiden this morning that putting opal on them was overkill. All he did was shrug and say that he always wanted me to feel beautiful locked in their chains. Which turned into him fucking me against the wall while he whispered in my ear how much he loved owning me.
Because I couldn’t leave the house with him dripping out of me, he made me clean the cum off his cock. Thoroughly.
“Rin?”
Ocean and Isolde stared at me, still waiting for an answer. While I was busy remembering Aiden. “Sorry. Yeah. Those are new.”
