I’m sure if I could have survived only on their come, my omega would have been thrilled to do just that.
He hands me my bowl, and I duck my head and focus on my food again.
When I’m done, I play with my hair, tucking it behind my ears and twirling it around my fingers. Anything to avoid thinking about what I know is coming.
“How are you feeling, Hestia?” Orion eventually asks.
“I’m fine, how are you,” I reply automatically, too nervous to think of anything else to say.
He smiles and says, “I’m great. Are you having any post-heat symptoms? Is there anything we should watch out for? I know some omegas have a difficult time afterward.”
“I’m okay, just a little emotional from the hormone fluctuations. I’ll be fine though,” I hastily add.
“Once we get out of here, we’ll take you to the doctor to make sure,” Orion says.
“I’m fine, really. Ready to get back to work.”
“After an unexpected heatandsurviving a blizzard, we should make sure your body isn’t overly stressed,” he says.
“It will be a quick checkup. We’ll go with you, so you don’t need to be nervous,” Charm says.
My omega likes their overprotectiveness too much.
I can’t give in to my feelings yet though, it’s not safe while I work under them.
Stupid horny omega and stupid hot bosses who know how to fuck super good.
Either I’m having a hormone swing or I’m getting over the fact that I’ve seen them naked. Now I just want to figure this mess out.
“Besides the doctor, how are we going to handle this?” I say, looking around at them.
“I called dispatch soon after your heat started and let them know what was going on. They knew we would be out of commission for a while. I’m sorry if you wanted to keep this private,” Orion says.
“I don’t mind that they know about my heat leave. I’m just sorry I dragged you into it,” I say.
“We were happy to help,” he says. “I want to mention we’ve been sterilized, so you don’t need to be concerned on that front. And if I can say something on a personal note…”
This is it, we’re going to talk about being scent matches and our future together. My heart is thrumming so fast it feels like there’s a bird fluttering in my chest.
“Our pack was honored you chose us tojoin you for your heat. However, as your bosses, if you feel uncomfortable working with us after that, we can?—”
I cut him off before he finishes.
“No! No, I’m happy to keep working together. It won’t be awkward at all,” I say.
They can’t send me away. They won’t send me away, will they?
I’m nauseous now. I shouldn’t have eaten so much.
“That’s good to hear, I’d love to keep you on the team. We’ll leave the intimacy you granted us during your heat behind us. If you ever feel uncomfortable, please let me know, or you can contact HR of course. We want you to feel safe and would never want to interfere with your career,” Orion says.
His words are so diplomatic. So professional.
Sonotwhat my omega wants to hear.
So not what I want to hear either.
Logically, I know I can’t date my bosses, but I still kind of hoped they’d confess their feelings for me and we’d live happily ever after.
