Chapter 29

Twenty-Nine

LACY

T hat same night, I lay in my bed wondering what had become of Ethan.

I was shocked to see him get so angry on my behalf, but I was also touched. I smiled when I remembered Ethan cursing out Jordan. The alpha security had broken up the fight, and as I stood there in shock, I saw the annoyance on Ryder's face as Ethan was dragged out of the room. Jordan's nose looked broken, bleeding everywhere when they rushed him out.

After that incident, I didn't dare look at Ryder to give away his cover, and I hung out with the omegas in the Social Room for the rest of the day.

There was nothing to do but relax and be pampered all day while I anxiously waited to hear news about Ethan. But the entire day, I heard nothing. Nothing from Ryder either, and when he would break me out of here.

I was lying naked in bed, waiting to see if Jordan would come in or if he was too injured. I hoped to moons he was too hurt to come in here. I was clutching the sheets which was pulled up to my chest as I closed my eyes. It was about that time when someone was supposed to show up. Last night was a pure nightmare, and I dreaded going through it again.

The door squeaked open, and my breathing quickened.

I felt the bed sink on both sides of me as two alphas settled in. The familiar scent of leather hit my nose, and I smiled. I opened my eyes to see Ryder lying in front of me, and I felt Ethan's beard brush my shoulder as he held me from behind.

"Don't be scared," said Ryder.

"How…how did you?"

I was at a loss for words, but I was also relieved and excited to see him here after avoiding him all day. I missed him and his pack, even though I didn't admit that to him yet.

"It was tough," said Ryder. "After Ethan's blunder, I thought we blew our cover completely. But when Ethan told them that Jordan was abusing you, they gave you over to us."

"Oh, thank goodness," I said, whispering just in case the cameras on the ceiling could hear us. The little red light blinking in the dark reminded me to be careful. "I know who the stalker is."

"Jordan?" hissed Ethan.

"Yes," I said.

"I should've let Ethan kill him then," said Ryder, sighing as he lay still beside me. "I need to touch you in case anyone is watching through the cameras. Is that okay, Lacy?"

"Yes," I said without hesitation. I missed him, and I missed his touch especially. He laid a hand on my arm as we talked for several minutes, catching up. He told me about talking to my mom on the phone and being at my house. "Do you have a plan on how we're going to get out of here?"

"I do, but it's vague," said Ryder. "I've seen alpha handlers walk omegas around the compound, and I was thinking we could try that tomorrow morning. Then we make a run for it."

"Ooh," I said, feeling excited now. I was so ready to go back home. "But we need to take Olivia too."

"I'll try, but my priority is you," said Ryder, rubbing my belly over the sheets. Ethan was rubbing my back, his hot breaths on my neck. It made my skin tingle and my pussy throb. Ryder pulled the sheet down, and his eyes widened upon seeing my nude body. "Why aren't you wearing pajamas?"

I gulped as I saw his cock straining against his black bathrobe. They were both wearing a bathrobe, naked underneath, as all the alphas wore around here during their night shift.

"They require us to be naked," I said, breathing hard as he pulled the sheets down further, and he got in underneath with me.

His eyes roamed the length of my body.

Ethan tugged on my shoulder until I lay on my back between them, naked and covered with the sheets but with them under it with me. I placed a hand over my throbbing pussy, shy for them to look. I was shaved everywhere, but I was still shy around them, even though both had knotted me.

"Did they hurt you?"

"Last night," I started to say, but my voice shook. I never expected to cry, but I could already feel the waterworks approaching.

"What happened last night, sweetheart?" asked Ryder, his hand steady over my belly, warm and comforting. I could hear Ethan muttering to himself that he wished he had killed Jordan when he got the chance.

"The stalker, but he's also my ex-boyfriend Jordan," I said. "He wouldn't stop touching me even though I cried for him to stop."

I couldn't look at Ryder or Ethan. I could already feel their energy changing to hostile anger.

"He's a sick fuck," said Ryder.

"It's okay now," I said in a lighter voice. I didn't want them to be angry right now. "I'm so happy you're here now. You have no idea how relieved I feel."

"We should have come sooner. Adrian was fucking right for once," growled Ethan, rubbing my arm.

"Aww, I miss Adrian," I said, smiling and trying to lighten the mood. I couldn't let my mood damper them coming here. Ryder kissed away my tears that I didn't know rolled down my face. I was touched that Adrian still thought of me and wanted to see how I was.

"It's alphas like your ex that ruin it for the rest of us," said Ryder. "Not all of us are like that."

"I know," I said, letting out a long, shuddering breath.

For a few minutes, we were quiet as we listened to doors opening and closing down the hall. I listened to the alphas breathing beside me. It felt nice to have them beside me, and I felt much safer than I had in days. I felt bad for Olivia, who was probably suffering with some alpha jerk in her room, but she said he wasn't that bad. He simply cuddled her every night without violating her. I didn't tell her my experience with Jordan since I didn't want to scare her even more than she already was.

"We shouldn't have left you," said Ethan. "I'm sorry, honey."

"After we left you that night," said Ryder, and I could tell he was deep in thought, remembering. I didn't want to remember all the embarrassing things I yelled at him about. I wanted to forget and start over. "It was hard to let go and forget about you, knowing you were in danger. I shouldn't have allowed myself to walk out that door."

"Don't feel bad because if you didn't, I would've really flipped out," I said. "I didn't want to see reason after what you did to me."

Tempers were high that night, and there was no way I was going to let the bodyguards stay in my house after getting spanked by them.

"I missed you, Lacy, more than I thought I would," said Ryder, flipping over onto his side. I felt his dark gaze eating me up with his intense look. My heart was palpitating like crazy right now. I turned to look at him, locking gazes with the guard who stole my heart out of nowhere.

"Ryder," I said, my heart beating fast and hard in my chest. Tears pricked my eyes. "I missed you too. And you too, Ethan."

Ethan kissed my shoulder, his lips warming my skin. In turn, Ryder leaned in, grasped my chin, and kissed me full on the lips. My eyes fluttered closed while we kissed on the bed like no tomorrow.

I missed him so much.

His leathery scent, in combination with his cologne, smelled so freaking addictive to me. His fingers on my chin were firm but not demanding. He didn't want to scare me, and I was free to break the kiss anytime, but I didn't want to.

After a few minutes, we pulled back at the same time, and I smiled shyly, my gaze resting on his chest. The intense look he was giving me was causing endless flutters in my belly, which traveled down my pussy.

"That was nice," he said.

"Yes," I said breathlessly.

Ethan placed his fingers on my chin, and I turned my head to face him next. His lips were sensual and plump as we kissed.

I was so sleepy that it felt like a dreamy sensation as I closed my eyes and kissed him back. His beard brushed my neck as our kiss intensified. His tongue pushed inside my mouth, roaming and exploring. I met his tongue with mine, also tasting him. I was getting hornier with every passing minute, and I grew more embarrassed by my smell as it got stronger in the room. This feeling wasn't at all like last night.

My body didn't respond this strongly to Jordan at all. Not even close.

This was a different feeling as I took in their kisses. Ethan's eyes were also closed by the time we were done kissing.

Both of their hands roamed down my body under the sheets, touching and exploring. I touched their chests as they untied their bathrobes. Their warm skin, sliding over mine, caused my heart to skip a beat. The heat rising under the sheets made me drunk off their scents.

"So fucking beautiful," said Ryder as he cupped my left breast. He kissed my breast, and Ethan did the same with my right one. They were both kissing and sucking on my nipples in unison.

Flurries of desire rippled through my belly.

Their hot mouths and rough tongues embracing my nipples caused me to desperately grasp their hair.

I moaned as Ryder looked straight up at me as he sucked on my nipple. I felt the tip of his tongue flicking my hardened bud back and forth, each flick sending electric shocks straight to my pussy.

"Oh god, we should stop before I end up pregnant," I said. "I'm not taking the suppressants."

With a groan, they both pulled away from my breasts. I knew it was hard to stop, and I was seriously considering just letting go and getting knotted, but I couldn't. Not yet anyway.

"You're like a delicious dessert waiting to be devoured," said Ryder, his hand rubbing my stomach. "Every part of your body is like a present waiting to be caressed."

"Fuck," said Ethan, rubbing his exposed penis, which was hard and thick. "I need to take care of this then, if you don't mind."

I licked my lips.

"I can help you take care of that," I said, and he looked at me with a feral look in his gaze. The same look he had given me during my bath.

"Oh, will ya'?" he asked gruffly, watching me with amusement. He pulled the sheets off. Then he knelt over me, placing each of his thighs on either side of my head, his cock swinging like a pendulum above my face. "Is this scaring you, sweetheart?"

"Doesn't scare me," I said, clenching my thighs together. Trying to control my own arousal. If we couldn't have sex, I might as well please the men who were here to protect and guard me.

Ryder was watching me silently as he gripped his own cock, and that only made me even hornier that he was watching.
