Chapter 25

"Good morning." I grin sleepily up at Zane.

"Morning, Trouble." He chuckles before kissing me. I moan, as if I didn't just have morning sex with him.

I woke up to his head between my thighs and his name on my lips as I came. Then he fucked me hard and fast, giving me yet another orgasm, all before I even got out of bed.

"If you could stop hogging our omega, that would be awesome," Griffin huffs as he tosses the blankets off and stands.

I bite my lower lip, my eyes slowly raking down his body. He's naked with his morning wood nicely on display as he stretches his arms above his head.

My eyes pause on his massive length. "Holy shit, is your cock pierced too?" My eyes widen in one-part fear, three-parts awe.

Griffin looks down at me and gives me a smug as hell smirk. "Yes, Jelly Bean." Griffin's husky chuckle makes me squirm under Zane. "We all are."

"You are?" My wide eyes snap over to Everett. "How the hell didn't I notice back at the club?"

Everett grins as he stands and wraps his arms around Griffin from behind. "Because, Tiny, I think you were a little distracted, Zane did have his cock hidden in my ass as Griffin's was down my throat."

Okay, point taken. "Let me see." I wiggle out from under Zane, ignoring his grunt of protest and go over to the guys. I bend over, putting my naked pussy in Zane's view. He groans as I lean in, getting a closer look at Griffin's cock.

"Well, I'll be damned," I murmur, grabbing his cock and moving it around to get a better look at the Jacob's ladder piercing.

"Fucking hell, Jelly Bean," Griffin groans. "Now that"s just mean."

My brows furrow. "What?" I ask, and then realize I'm playing with his cock. "Sorry." I laugh.

"I'm not. Keep going." I look up to see Griffin's heated eyes.

"No. We have a long fucking day ahead of us. Sex later," Zane orders.

"There's always time for sex." Griffin pouts.

"Let me see yours." I look over at Everett. Unlike the other two, he has his pierced only at the tip. "You have the same cock piercing as Calvin," I comment, taking an extra second to enjoy the view—because they have some nice looking dicks—before standing.

"Nope," Zane growls. "I do not want to hear about my brother's cock, thanks."

"Really?" I turn to look at him with a sweet smile. "You don't like to hear about how if he angles my ass a certain way, he makes me squirt when the tip hits the right spot?"

He gives me a deadly stare. "Don't be a fucking brat, Jade. It's only going to get you into trouble."

"But isn't that my name?" I ask, cocking my head to the side.

"We are going to have our hands full with you, aren"t we, Tiny?" Everett asks with a chuckle.

"I think there's a very strong chance of that, yes," I answer, grinning at him over my shoulder.

"As much as I love staring at your fine as hell body, if we don't shower and get dressed, I will lock us in the bedroom and rut into you for the rest of the day," Griffin warns, his eyes locked on my tits and filled with heat.

"And that would be a bad idea, why?" I ask.

"Zane," Griffin pleads with his boyfriend.

"Come on." I squeal as Zane tosses me over his shoulder and gives my ass a hard slap. "Being a tease to my boyfriends is just mean, Trouble," Zane playfully chastises as he carries me to the bathroom.

My face is level with his firm and tattooed ass. So, I lean forward and bite down on his ass cheek. He growls, swatting my ass again, and I laugh. "Maybe, but it's fun."

AFTER WE'RE ALL SHOWEREDand dressed, there"s a knock at the door. When I answer it, I expect it to be Calvin, but it's Gianna.

She doesn't even acknowledge me as she pushes past me. "Why the hell haven't you guys been answering my calls!"

"It was a long night, Gianna," Griffin tells her. "We didn't think about it."

"I am your manager. It is my job to have everything run smoothly. How am I going to make that happen if you"re not willing to work with me?" she huffs, brushing some of her blonde hair out of her face. "You three have never been like this before. So why now?"

Well, fuck you too, lady—I know that"s another dig at me.

"It"s not that big of a deal, okay? We're all here. It's still early in the day. No one is late or missing. We are good to go."

"Good." She nods. "Good, good. Well, come on. You can grab something to eat, but then we have stuff to do."

"Just let me call Calvin to come get Jade," Everett says.

"Jade is a big girl. She can watch over herself," Gianna sneers. "Now, let"s go."

"No," Zane declares. "Not until Calvin is here. Jade got hurt last night, and we need to make sure she's safe."

"It's really not that big of a deal, guys. I can wait here in the hotel room. I'll lock the door." I know after last night, there"s no point in arguing with them about pretty much having a bodyguard. It was scary for them, and if it helps them feel better, I'll do it.

"No," Zane insists.

"You got hurt?" Gianna looks at me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I give her a polite smile.

"See, she"s fine. Let"s go."

"Fuck off," Zane snarls, getting in Gianna's face. "I said no."

"Everything okay here?" Calvin appears in the doorway, standing there in his suit and tie. God, he's so hot. They all are. How did I get so lucky?

"He's here." Gianna laughs awkwardly. "Everything is good now."

"Fine," Zane huffs, then looks at me. "Be good, Trouble," he warns me.

"Well, that"s no fun." I grin, and he glares at me. "Fine, I'll be a good little omega." I bat my eyelashes at him.

"Brat," he snickers, then wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me against his body. He spins me, pressing me against the wall and kissing me roughly. I whimper as my belly heats.

When he pulls back, we're both breathless. "I'll see you at the VIP meet and greet, understand? I don't want to be away from you all day."

"Okay." I nod.

Everett and Griffin say their goodbyes, kissing me just as passionately. As they head out, I don't miss the scowl on Gianna's face.

"Hi." I look over at Calvin as soon as the door closes behind them.

"Fuck," he curses, pulling me into his arms. He crushes me to his body, but I don't mind. I sigh, smiling against his chest as I melt into his touch. "I'm so fucking glad your okay, Darling. You had me worried sick. I've been beating myself up all night about what happened."

"I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Zane. It's not your fault. Please, don't blame yourself."

"You can ask that of us all you want, but it won't change how we feel," he murmurs, kissing the top of my head.

"I know. But I'm still going to try."

He tucks his face into my neck and inhales deeply, making me laugh.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Smelling you. Sorry, but you are so damn addicting."

"Why thank you." I grin up at him.

We stare at each other for a moment, looking into one another's eyes. Something inside me shifts a little. "I'm sorry," I tell him.

"For what?" He leans forward, brushing his nose against the tip of mine.

"For shutting down the idea of being something more with you before. If I knew what we were, I wouldn't have."

"I know," he says. "But you weren't ready, and I didn't want to force you into something that you might not want. I still don't."

He means me going off my alpha blockers. Little does he know, after this last bottle of spray is done, I don't plan on replacing it. This means I know it's coming and still give myself a little more time to adjust to my new crazy life.

I miss the club and the girls. I want to go back when all this is over. I'd like to have a conversation with the guys and see how they feel about moving to Vegas. But right now, I just want to enjoy all the time I've missed with them, get to know who they are now as well as being around Calvin as my alpha, not my client.

CALVIN AND I HUNG OUTfor the day. We went to eat, spent hours talking, and by time he brought me back up to the hotel to get ready for the night, I knew without a doubt I wanted him as my alpha.

I didn't ask him what he did about the guys from the alley. I don't want to know. It's better if I don't. All I care about is that they can't hurt me or anyone else. And knowing Calvin and Zane, I don't think they would just let these guys walk around free.

So, they are either dead or on their way to being locked up. Honestly, would it be fucked up if I wished it was the first?

Sorry, not sorry, but people who get their kicks from hurting and raping people, they don't deserve another chance. They won't change, they will only do it again. So why allow the risk?

You would think the idea of knowing these men could have killed them would scare me, but if anything, it turns me on. Because I know they would never hurt me, so what is there to be afraid of?

Right now, we're in the VIP room, and I'm trying really damn hard to keep the jealous omega in me at bay. I don't want to come off as a crazy girlfriend. No one even knows who I am or what I mean to the guys yet, and this sure as hell isn"t how I plan for it to get out.

There"s a girl with her hand on Zane. He politely removes it, and I bite my lip, holding back my grin as she pouts.

The girl talking to Griffin looks like she's seconds away from cumming in her pants or passing out. Who knows, maybe both?

It's crazy to think that there are people who do not only love these guys, but worship them.

Me? They're just my best friends, the loves of my life. I'll always swoon when they sing, but not because of who they are; it's because of the way they make me feel when they do. It's always felt like every time they sing, it's a private concert just for me.

"You two are so adorable," Gianna says, taking me by surprise. I look over at her standing next to me, this big grin on her face.

"Who?" I ask, not sure what the hell she's talking about.

"You and Calvin, of course." She giggles, pushing my arm as if we're best friends. What the hell?

"Oh. Ah, thanks?" I look over to where he's talking to someone from the label. He laughs, tossing his head back, and I smile. He's so handsome. And then my eyes flick over to the others, and I do the same. Their smiles light up the whole room as Everett, Griffin and Zane talk. But it's as if the fans aren"t there. That"s how I can tell because their smiles aren"t fake. But the fans don't mind, they are standing there eating up every word that the guys have to say.

"A little birdy told me you and Calvin are scent matches. Congratulations. He really is a catch, isn't he? Older, good-looking, an awesome job, money." She wiggles her eyebrows. "What more could you want? You two are going to be so happy together."

"Thank you. I hope so. I'm blessed to have Calvin as my alpha. But, ah, you do know I'm with the others right? Zane, Griffin, and Everett?"

She keeps her fake smile plastered on her face as she looks at me, eye twitching like she doesn't like that answer.

"Yeah, but it's all fun and games for now. I mean, a pack of sexy alphas to mess around with, who wouldn't want that?" She laughs. "But scent matches are powerful. Once you smell Calvin for the first time, everything will change. Your body will be linked to his, and you won't want anyone but Calvin. The guys will be okay, you know? If they really love you, they will understand. They are strong guys. They'll move on. They only want you to be happy. And don't you want them to be happy too?"

She looks over at me, and I'm seconds away from wrapping my hands around her fucking neck.

I'm about to open my mouth to rip her a new one, not giving a single fuck where we are or who is around us when she opens her stupid mouth again. "Anyways, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with Calvin. You"re going to be so happy. I gotta go make sure the guys are taken care of." She laughs. "They would be lost without me."

She takes off, leaving me standing there, fists clenched, nostrils flaring and feral, feeling more like a feral omega than I've ever felt.

"You okay, Darling?" Calvin asks me, coming to join me.

"I don't like her, Calvin," I warn him. "Not one fucking bit."

"What did she say?" he asks, brows furrowing as he looks over at where Gianna is laughing and talking with the fans, standing next to the guys like she's part of the fucking band.

"She came over, congratulated us on being scent matched, and when I told her I was with the others too, she laughed it off and said once the bond was in place, I'd forget all about them. And if they loved me, they would move on and let me be happy. There"s so many things wrong with what she said, and there"s only so many times I can keep my mouth shut. I'm trying not to cause any issues, no more than I already have, but it's hard. Has she always been this much of a bitch?"

"Not going to lie." He sighs, lowering his voice. "I've never had a good feeling about her. She was hired by my dad. And for the most part, she knows what she's doing, and she"s good at it. But there's just... something off about her. But she"s wrong. When things happen between us, it won't change how you feel about the others. What you have with them is too strong. They spent years looking for you, Jade. They wouldn't go down without a fight, and even then, they would keep going until their dying breaths. Fuck, even then they would probably haunt your ass."

That makes me chuckle, his words steeling me.

"She's jealous, Jade. Because you"re the one they want. The only one they've always wanted and could ever want. You"re it for them. For me. She doesn't matter. Don't let her get into your head."

I don't want to, but it's hard. The fact is, she knows them better now while I knew them better then. Knowing she spends so much time with them doesn't make me feel any more at ease. I don't like it.

The guys might want to be up my ass to make sure I'm safe, but I plan on doing the same to let the world know just who these alphas belong to. Me. And I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks.
