David was staring at me when I came out of my thoughts.
“What?” I asked.
“I know you could hear what was going on before I turned on the music,” he said.
Shrugging, I went back to eating my sandwich. “Yeah, it was…uh, a little uncomfortable.”
“Because you wish you could join them?” David said, and I choked on my bite of food.
“What?” I sputtered. “No! What the hell, David?”
Sitting back in his seat, David folded his arms over his chest. “You can’t fool me. You want to mate them.”
“Them?” I repeated incredulously. “How could I do that?”
“Three can mate. Bertram and his beta mate were applying for an omega before his beta mate died.”
“That’s an alpha and beta. Angus and Colt are both alphas!”
“Which makes it kind of odd for them to be in a relationship with each other, don’t you think?”
I had thought about that. Who took the dominant role? Did they switch? I couldn’t imagine it at all.
“I don’t want to talk about their sex life,” I said.
“Believe me, neither do I. But the fact remains that you’re in love with them both.”
“Pfft. Am not. What’s love, anyway?”
David smiled and shook his head.
We were cleaning up the mess from lunch when Colt came into the kitchen. We still had the music playing, and David turned off his phone when he saw the alpha enter.
“Hey,” Colt said.
“Hi. How did the exercises go?” David asked.
Colt looked blank for a minute until he realized that David was talking about Angus’ physical therapy. “Oh, they went great. It’s just to keep him limber at this point.”
“Oh?” David inquired innocently. “And is he? Limber?”
Colt’s cheeks got red. “Uh. Yeah. He is. Um, I’m heading home. You two st—”
“Stay in the house until Angus or Maddox is with us, we know,” David said.
I was too busy looking at the large love bite on Colt’s tanned neck to join in the conversation. When Colt left, I fell into a chair. “You’re evil,” I said.
David chuckled. “I couldn’t help it. But, come on. What’s bothering you?”
I sighed heavily. “You’re right,” I said. “I really like both of them.”
Pulling out another chair from the table, David sat down beside me, waiting for me to say more.
“Seeing Colt with Angus’s love bite kind of poked me in the heart. I’m not jealous that I can’t be a part of it.”
“But youcan,” David said. “You’re an omega. You can take on several alphas at a time if you want to.”
My eyes grew wide. “I don’t!”
