“Here, muñequita,” Benji purred before grabbing my glasses off the night stand and nudging them onto my nose.
Adjusting them, I blinked as the world came into view.
My head was still nestled on Vinny’s uninjured arm, his skin warm beneath my cheek. Lifting my head, I looked around, trying to ignore the strand of drool connecting us.
Benji was on the other side of me, hair a mess, shirt off. His body wasn’t rock hard like Vinny’s, or covered in tattoos like Skye’s. Instead he was soft and his honey-toned skin was dusted with coarse golden hair.
He caught me staring and lifted a brow, mouth twitching like he was fighting a smile.
“What?” he asked quietly.
I shook my head, suddenly aware of how tightly wedged between the two of them. Not only that, but Benji’s cock throbbed as it pushed into my thigh, and Vinny’s erection had turned the thin sanguine sheet into a miniature tent.
The heat in my stomach rose to my chest as I tried to tug at the collar of my dress. I was in danger, but also exactly where Iwantedto be.
“Careful,” Benji hummed before lacing my fingers in his. “That dress is my favorite, don’t wrinkle it.”
My pulse kicked up as my lips parted and I signed,why are you here?
He’d talked about how our shower this morning put him behind schedule. That’s why he needed me to pick out Vinny’s clothes.
He tilted his head. “Because I missed my beautiful little omega, silly.”
Benji put his hand on my shoulder and rolled me to face him before dragging his nose across mine.
“And, when I checked on you, you looked good enough to eat.” Benji’s tone was sweet but his expression was dark. One of his hands dropped to my stomach. “It’s just so hard to resist a pregnant omega.”
He inched in closer, intoxicating me with his chai scent. For a second, I forgot how to breathe.
“Your body’s working so hard,” Benji murmured. “All to grow our pack. You don’t even know how intoxicating that is.”
His thumb traced a slow, reverent circle just beneath my ribs, and my knees pressed together. Was it possible to melt? I felt like I was going to melt.
“All of my beta instincts say to take care of you,” he went on softly. “Feed you. Hold you. Make you feel wanted.” His teeth grazed my ear. “Make you feel how precious you are to us.”
My pulse thundered.
“You’re doing something incredible,” Benji whispered. “And it makes you devastatingly beautiful.”
I shivered.
“Benji,” Vinny’s voice cut in. “Easy.”
I groaned as all of the budding momentum was sucked out of the room. I’d nearly forgottenhewas here, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Vinny still acted like he owned me, like he could dictate what I ate and pick me up whenever he wanted. But… he protected me from the Stellar men yesterday, and I liked how he smelled, and when I didn’t want to see someone die, Vinny chose to bekindfor me.
Well, maybe not kind, but he didn’t kill anyone, which seemed hard for him.
Benji smiled against my skin.
“I’m being easy,” he said softly. “I’m just talking.”
Vinny shifted beneath me.
“Talk’s fine,” he said. “But she decides what happens next.”
He spoke like he meant it, and I wanted to believe he did, but my memories of Logan were too fresh, and he and Vinny weresosimilar.
At least, they were on a surface level.
