Knot So Perfect Omega (Omega Match #1)(23)
“Go shower and then we’ll go. Leave your stuff in Beck’s room. He can just move his growly ass to the guest room. I’ll even help you move it all.” It would piss him off further, but I had no fucks to give.
I’d never seen someone light up as much as Kayla did when we stepped foot in the fabric store. It was like we had taken a trip to a magical theme park instead of a giant warehouse filled with bolts and bolts of fabric in every color, texture, and pattern.
I didn’t mind pushing the cart as we went down row after row and then had to wait for someone to cut all of them. She had a pretty good idea for making custom quilts, but there were a lot of things she needed to consider… like her own perfume getting on the material.
Now wasn’t the time to talk about all the considerations she would need to have if she was going to go forward with her plan. Especially now that she lived with four alphas.
“Let’s go swimming, and then we can work on getting your room set up and all talk about your nest.” I dropped her bags of material in the dining room where she had a quilting area set up. We hardly ate at the big dining room table, so I didn’t see an issue with her using it.
“I don’t know if I want to encroach on your space if I might not even be staying.” She pulled a stack of folded fabric from one of the bags. They were in all shades of blue and green.
“Why would you not stay?” I didn’t want her to feel like she was going to be sent away just because of a mistake on Brian or Omega Match’s part.
My morning had been one of the best I’d had in a long time. We hadn’t even done anything special besides shop and talk about the academy, Alphaball, and the reality TV show about selling houses we were both addicted to.
“I’m not going to stay where I’m not wanted by a pack. The whole pack. I’d be gone already if I could afford the fine.” She bit her lip and looked away from me. “That came out wrong.”
I squeezed the back of one of the dining room chairs. “If you don’t want to be here, we aren’t going to force you to stay. I will personally pay the fine for you if you decide we aren’t what you want, but give us a chance. Beck will take longer to come around, but that’s normal for him.”
“Being an asshole is normal?” She put her hands on her hips, fire in her eyes. “He talked about me like I’m dirt beneath his cleat.”
“Pack leaders are under a lot more stress than everyone else. That’s not an excuse for him, but he already struggles with change.” It wasn’t my place to talk in-depth about Beck’s issues.
“Let’s just… enjoy today and worry about everything tomorrow. Ready to go swim? We should see if Rio and Kane want to join us.” The excitement was back in her eyes. “We can play chicken. Me and you against them.”
Having Kayla wrap her legs around my neck as she sat on my shoulders? Hell, yes.
My cock twitched in my pants at the idea of her so close to me. This was either going to be the best idea in the world or leave me with an epic case of blue balls.
CHAPTER TEN
Kayla
I didn’t know what I was thinking when I suggested we play chicken. Oh, that’s right, I wasn’t. I played all the time at the academy, but playing with three alphas who all looked at me like they were about to eat me like a chicken dinner was completely different.
The first few rounds, Kane had let me win despite him being stronger than me. I protested the special treatment, and he and Rio did not hold back. I’d hit the water more times than I cared to count.
“I’m starting to feel like a drowned cat,” I whined, coming up from going under for the hundredth time. “I call for halftime.”
“You look like a drowned cat too.” Kane splashed water at me, and I spluttered before charging at him. “The poor pussy doesn’t like to get wet.”
I jumped on him, attempting to dunk him under, but he barely budged and instead wrapped his arms around me. “You don’t fight fair.”
He grabbed the back of my legs and urged me to wrap my legs around him. I didn’t hesitate, but as soon as I did, I knew it was a mistake. His erection was pressed right up against my wet pussy. Not that he could tell through my swimsuit and the water.
“Stop wiggling.” His hands moved up to rest on the small of my back, and I wrapped my hands around the back of his neck.
“I’m not wiggling.” Okay, maybe I was just a little. I shouldn’t have wanted any of their dicks anywhere near me, but there I was, unable to make myself swim away.
“Bro, it’s the middle of the day.” Rylan swam up behind me, sandwiching me between the two of them. “We probably shouldn’t move too fast.”
“No! I mean…” My cheeks heated more than they already were, and I wanted to swim under the water and hide. “I’m not a fragile little virgin. If I didn’t like it, you’d know.”
A growl came from Rylan. “Who took it?”
“Took what?” I put my palm to my forehead. “No one took it. I just meant, I might be a virgin, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t explored things… with myself.”
I swear I could feel Kane’s cock pulse between us. I leaned back against Rylan’s chest and looked over my shoulder to see Rio getting out of the pool.
