His fingers fumbled with the button of my jeans, and he made short work of tugging them down my legs, yanking them off, boots and all. He was slower with my underwear, almost like he was unveiling me. If I wasn’t panting with need, I might have even been embarrassed. Instead, I watched the awe on his face as he stared at my vagina like it was a Van Gogh.
He kissed both of my thighs, then dove between them, his tongue flitting across my clit until I was clinging to his head for dear life. His hands slid beneath my ass, and he tilted my hips where he wanted them, one hand supporting me and the other coming around to grip my thigh. Probably lucky, because when he sucked my clit, my legs snapped together as pleasure coursed through me. That would have been a concussion for sure if he hadn’t been holding me open.
I rode his face until I was coming, his name a breathy moan that escaped from between my clenched teeth. I drenched his face, and for some reason, I felt like I was wetter than I normally was. If the shine to Victor’s cheeks was anything to go by, I wasn’t wrong.
He looked up at me from between my thighs with lust-clouded eyes, and licked his lips. Grabbing the bottom of his shirt, he wiped his cheeks, and I grimaced.
“Uh, sorry about that.” I looked down at the outline of his cock that was extremely prominent in his tight jeans. “Do you want me to…?”
He shook his head, kissing me softly on the lips. I could taste myself, and it was a heady mindfuck. “No. Making you come was more than enough, Omega. We shouldn’t go any further; I’m not sure if I have the control.” He dipped his head, and my heart did a funny misbeat in my chest. It was the first time anyone had ever called me by my designation, and it did something to my insides. I just couldn’t pinpoint if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
I cleared my throat, wiggling off the boxes and looking for my underwear. Finding them, I slipped them on, then my jeans and my boots. The silence in the storeroom was tense. I reached the door, but paused, my hand gripping the handle.
“Will you be— I mean, are you okay now?”
Victor gave me a smile, that rare flash of dimple making him look almost roguish. “I’ll be fine, Zaley. Just going to need a minute so I don’t flash the entire town the goods.” He waved a hand in front of his crotch outline. What was the male equivalent of a camel toe? His camel tail?
I flushed bright red, despite the fact he’d just had his head between my thighs. “Oh, uh, okay. I better get back out there.”
Then I ran away like the chicken shit I was.
CHAPTER NINE
If the guys were just busy before, they were pointedly avoiding me now. My pheromones probably weren’t helping the situation, though. Every time I saw one of them, I had a vivid flashback of Victor’s face between my legs. Or Will kissing me breathless on the stairs. Or Xander making love to me in the back of his truck.
It was like my brain was a horny movie marathon, and I couldn’t escape. I wished I had my vibrator and an entire box of chocolates. And porn—lots and lots of porn.
But I didn’t, so instead, I buried myself in work. Will and Victor gave me a permanent lunch shift, so I was only serving the old regulars and the lunchtime bingo crowd, with no chance of reconnecting with Teller.
When I wasn’t working, I was studying, or slowly domesticating McKnight. I’d managed to brush him and only got four claw marks, needing zero stitches. Success. That cat was as wild as they got, and disappeared during the day, only to sneak in after I’d gone to sleep. Soon, I’d have to catch him and take him to the vet to get neutered, but I was going to appreciate my scar-free skin for a little longer first. Maybe after my exams.
Those were next week, and I was freaking out. I’d missed so much with my little Omega blackout, and I was still catching up. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t stressed about being among so many people too. Worried that they’d take one look at me andknowthat I was no longer one of them, that I was an imposter.
There was a knock at my door, startling me and making me smear highlighter right across the page of my textbook. Crap, there went its resale value.
“Come in,” I called, shutting the book. My brain was fried. I’d pick it back up after I ate and ingested a small barrel of coffee.
Will poked his head around the doorframe. “Get dressed, Za. I’m taking you out. You’ve been holed up in this room for a week, and you need some time among humans.”
I realized it was dinnertime, and that meant the only places open were the gas station and the Downtown Bar and Grill. “Are we going to the bar for dinner?”
“Yep. We’ve got a band tonight, and I thought you might like to come dancing with me.”
That actually sounded amazing. Sure, it was the place we both worked, but honestly, it was a small town and you took what you could get when it came to fun activities.
“Sounds good! I’ll get changed.”
Fifteen minutes later, I was in a pretty dress despite the fact I was going to freeze in the early autumn weather. I was wearing my Docs with it, and sensible shoes meant I was half-responsible, right?
Will was dressed in tight black jeans and a long-sleeved Henley that pulled across his muscles in a way that made my mouth water. He was effortlessly sexy, and I was both jealous and so, so thankful on behalf of the man-loving population.
“You look amazing, Za.” His smile was pleasant, but his eyes said he wanted to strip me naked right now. I didn’t think I was the only one struggling to contain the warring desires of the other creature who possessed my body sometimes.
I twirled. “Thank you. I learned to embrace dresses after you guys left, when I wasn’t trying to keep up with you three boys anymore. Couldn’t have hijacked a tractor in a miniskirt, you know?”
Will chuckled, stepping closer to me, and I held my breath as I drew his scent into my lungs. “Baby, if you’d tried to climb Mr. Porter’s fence in a miniskirt, we’d all be dead. We would have been too distracted and crashed that tractor into the closest ditch.”
I laughed, because we’d almost done that anyway. “It wasn’t practical. But it didn’t matter once you were gone. I had to learn who Zaley without the Yale boys was. We’d been mentioned in the same breath for so long, I was lost without you.”
