“What? Why?”
“I think… I don’t know. Things just keep seeming to cross a professional barrier lately.”
“I thought she hated you?” I say, confused.
“I thought so too, but then we got over our bullshit, and it’s kinda been nice. But she’s an Omega and insanely rich and famous. I need to keep it professional.”
“Listen, you can’t dangle Deja Fox being my future sister-in-law in front of my face like that. It’s kinda fucked up. Please tell me I get to come and visit soon!”
“The tour is only a couple more weeks and then we’re headed to New York. I think then would be a good time.”
“Yes!”
“Everything is really going okay with you, Kelsey? I’ll drop everything.”
“No, Dom is taking good care of me.” I leave out all my other conquests. Big brother is on a need to know basis.
“I bet he is,” he says sarcastically. “I’ll send you some video of tonight’s concert.”
“You’re the best.” My chest feels looser, and I feel all cried out at this point. “I’m glad you called.”
“Me too. Call me if you need anything. Love you, Kels.”
“Love you too.”
Chapter 15
Itmightbepathetic,but I’ve missed the shit out of Kelsey. Part of me wanted to tie her to our bed and never let her go. She just fits so perfectly between Shyla and me. Part of me wants her to realize that all she needs is Shyla and myself and then the slutty part of me also realizes that I was also attracted to Dom and Cameron and I can’t blame Kelsey for wanting us all.
The biggest concern is the fact that Shyla hasn’t met Cameron or Dom. I don’t think Cameron will be an issue. I think Shyla will immediately be attracted to him and want him as much as we want Kelsey. Dom, however, is a different story. Shyla doesn’t like to give up control and from the read I got off of Dom, it seems like he doesn’t either. I’m not sure how this could all work, but I’m willing to do my part. For Kelsey and selfishly for myself. I’ve yearned for a large pack all my life. It’s what I was raised in, and while I might have been an only child, that isn’t something I want for myself.
I don’t even get a chance to knock on the door as Kelsey swings it open with a huge smile on her face. Her hair is in a wild knot above her head, and her body is covered in an oversized black t-shirt.
As I step through the threshold and go to open my mouth, her hands are locked around my neck and her mouth is on mine before I even say anything.
I fist her hair in the bun and support her weight by grabbing her ass. “Missed you too, sugar.”
“Ugh, we have something important to do before I devour you,” she says.
“Oh yeah, what’s that?”
“Our DNA tests came in the mail.”
I smile at her, feeling in awe of her kindness. She did this for me without asking. Part of me is worried about what I might find. That biologically I’m completely alone, or that I have a family member out there I never knew existed. Both options are daunting, but I know Kelsey and Shyla will both be there for me no matter the result.
“Let’s get to it then,” I say as she grabs my hand and takes me to the kitchen table. She already has the instructions open and two swab kits ready to go.
“We need to swab the inside of our cheeks.” She rips the plastic packaging and delicately takes the swap between two fingers. I expect her to take the sample from her own cheek, but she tilts my chin and her eyebrow rises. I open my mouth with her silent request as she cups my chin and rubs the swab on the inside of my cheek for fifteen seconds. Once she’s done, she places it in the plastic container labeled with my sample.
I do the same to her, taking her sample and putting it in the plastic sleeve to ship off to the company.
“It says that you can expedite your results for an additional hundred dollars. They are really out here gouging people,” she complains, reading the shipping instructions.
“I’ll take care of that. The less time I have to wait, the better.” She gives me a small smile.
“All right, we just need to ship these off and login and pay the expedition fee. Are you okay taking us to UPS?”
“Of course,” I say, nervous about sending the sample off, but also excited about having some alone time with Kelsey. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing. Being around her makes me feel lighter and less lonely. I never thought of myself as a lonely person, even with Shyla. Sometimes I just feel alone, and when I conceptualize it, it makes me feel needy. And maybe I am, or maybe I just need more physical and emotional needs than other people. Fuck, I sound like an Omega.
