Chapter 4

Nova

Ian’s panicked filled eyes snap my way. “Nova, are you okay?”

Am I okay? Fuck no, I’m not okay. I just let some strange Alpha eat my pussy like it was his life's mission.

Did I cum so hard that I saw stars and nearly drowned my man with my slick in the process? Sure, but the fact still stands –he’s an Alpha.

Fuck me and my damn Omega hormones. Fuck him for being my scent match. Fuck this damn pull between us, that has all logic leaving my pheromone filled brain.

And fuck the damn heat spike that had me giving in to evil. That's what they are, evil, stupid, sexy Alphas. Damn it.

No, not sexy. Bad; they're bad, Nova. Stay away.

Easier said than done, seeing how I know for a fact that my heat is going to hit any day now. I can feel it in every cell in my body.

I’m trying not to panic, but the fear that I’m going to end up being in such a vulnerable state with three criminals has me spiraling on the inside.

Doesn’t matter if they're my scent matches. I know nothing about these men aside from the fact that they steal for a living.

And I sure as fuck don’t belive they’ve never killed anyone before. Isn’t that what a killer would want you to think?

“Relax,” I scoff, rolling my eyes as I hop off the sink. My knees nearly give out, but I bite the inside of my cheek, determined not to show that any of this has an effect on me.

Grabbing the towel off the floor, I wrap it around my body, shielding myself from the two sets of eyes.

“It was nothing. I was horny, you had a mouth that was eager to service me. Thanks for that by the way.” I wink, patting him on the shoulder as I pass. He gapes at me in shock.

Pausing in front of Will, I raise a brow. “You gonna go rat on your brother like a little bitch?” I ask.

Listen, I know it’s probably not a good idea to push my luck with these men. I truly have no idea what they’re capable of. But I’m spiraling inside, on the verge of a breakdown and when I’m stressed, or feel backed into a corner, the filter comes off and well, let’s just say it’s gotten me into trouble more than one time.

“Excuse me?” Will’s brow jumps.

“Are you gonna go run and tell big brother, Nick, that your little brother was just having some fun? Are you going to get him in trouble for it?”

“He’s not supposed to touch you.” Will’s eyes harden as he glares down at me. Damn him for being so good looking. My fingers itch to reach up and pull at one of his red curls. And those freckles, hell, they’re so pretty. Why do I want to count them all?

Then there’s his eyes, his emerald eyes that I could get lost in.

Will grunts while Ian groans behind me. Fuck, my perfume. Damn it. Can’t even have impure thoughts about people without being caught.

Clearing my throat, I stand tall, as if I’m not shorter than him by a good foot and dressed only in a towel.

“This is my body. I can do with it whatever I damn well please.” I step closer. “If I want your brother's mouth between my legs like a good Alpha, then that’s where it's going to be.”

His nostrils flare, teeth clenched as I reach up to run my pointer finger down his chest, eyes following. I lower my voice in a seductive way.

“And if I wanted you to sit there and look pretty while I ride your cock, I bet you’d let me, wouldn’t you?” My eyes flick back up to his, finding him watching me so intensely, it sends a shiver down my spine.

“No,” he grits out. “Because I have control. I’m not someone who just lets an Omega use me how ever she fucking pleases.”

I huff out a laugh. “Oh, like how your brother plans on using me?” I cock my head to the side. “Please. That's all Alphas want from Omegas. A hole to use when it pleases them, someone to clean their houses, and to bear their babies. Don’t have to worry about that one buddy, I don’t want any of it. The last thing I need is Alphas controlling my life.”

I lick my lips as I give him a slow grin. “Doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun while we’re trapped here together though, right?” I laugh softly as my eyes trail down his body, stopping at the massive bulge pressing against his pants.

“Looks like that’s something you might be interested in, huh?” I smirk as my eyes meet his again.

He says nothing, just glares at me like it’s taking all of his control to either not hit me, or fuck me. Maybe both? Nah, that seems more like something Nick would do.

But judging from the way his Alpha pheromones are rolling off of him in waves, making every single one of my senses go out of whack, I’d say it’s the latter.

That also means I need to get the hell away from them before I turn into a needy bitch, and beg one of them to bend me over and fuck me, until their knot is locked inside me.

Nope. Not happening. Not today, Satan.

“Anyways, you know where to find me.” I wink, biting my lip.

As I step past Will, I look back to find Ian standing there like a lost puppy looking so confused. I almost feel bad. “You too, big guy. My door is always open.”

Spinning around, I head toward the room I’ve been locked in for hours and close the door behind me.

This room is the last place I want to be right now. One of them can easily lock me back in here.

But I need space. I’m freaking out.

Pacing the room, I take deep breaths to calm myself down. This is why I hate Alphas. Any sense of control is gone and has me throwing all logical thoughts out the window.

When I looked at Ian after the shower, it was like something else took over my body.

The pain I felt in my stomach, the overwhelming need to have him take it away was so powerful, I’ve never felt something like that before.

What's going to happen when I go into heat? Are they going to take it upon themselves to help me through it? Am I going to ask them to?

Or am I going to ride it out on my own?

Wait. No. Fucking hell. No, no, no!

I stumble to a stop, grabbing handfuls of my hair as reality hits me.

They’re my scent matches, meaning that if at least one of them doesn’t help me through my heat, I could die.

“Fuck!” I groan, taking a seat on the edge of the mattress with my head in my hands.

My options are to beg them for suppressants, to put a pause to my heat, get out of here before my heat and get some myself, or have one or all of them fuck me.

Ian. If I had to pick one of them, I’d pick Ian. He’s the nicest one, seeming to be nothing like his brothers.

There’s a knock at the door, snapping me out of my nervous breakdown. I don’t realize I’m crying until I look toward the door with blurry eyes.

“Nova?” Ian’s soft voice comes from the other side. “It’s me.”

“Go away,” I shout, sounding like a brat. The man was just down on his knees, worshipping my pussy like it was his goddess and now I’m acting like a bitch, because I’m scared of what I don’t know, what could be, and what I don’t have any say in.

“Please,” Ian begs. “I have something for you.”

Sighing heavily, I stand, clutching the towel to my chest as I open the door.

“What?”

He licks his lips, looking down at me with nervous eyes. “Here.” He holds out a pile of clothes. A hairbrush sits on top of it and I could almost sob in relief that I can brush these knots out of my hair.

“I never did get you anything to change into. Nick’s not back yet, so I hope you don’t mind borrowing something of mine.”

“Oh.” My eyes widen slightly, blinking a few times before I move to take the items from him. That was nice of him. Why is he still being nice to me? He doesn’t have to be. He helped kidnap me for fucks sake.

“Thanks.”

A surge of emotion fills me, making panic rise.

“Yeah, no problem. About earlier.” He scratches the back of his head. “I hope I didn’t do anything you weren't okay with. I’m not usually that overpowered by scents, but... it’s like something took control of me. I’m not proud of it. I just...”

He lets out a breath, running a hand through his inky black stands. “I don’t want you to be afraid of me, okay? I know Nick came off strong–”

“He’s a raging asshole,” I point out, raising a brow.

“Yeah,” he breathes out a laugh. “That. But I’m not.” I just blink at him. “I mean it. Sure, what we do isn’t exactly ethical. But I’d never hurt you or force you to do anything.”

“So, if I wanted to just walk out of this house, you would let me?”

His face turns pained. “No.”

“Was worth a shot.” I shrug. “Look, Ian, I appreciate this.” I hold up the clothes. “And the orgasm.” I grin and oh my God, he blushes. Okay, thats fucking adorable. “Let’s just blame it on biology and say it was with no fault of our own. Alpha.” I point to him. “Omega.” I point to myself. “It’s how the world works. Also why I try to stay the fuck away from Alphas.” I sigh. “And now I’m held captive by three of them.”

“We’re not just any Alphas.” He chuckles.

“You're right.” I nod. “You’re three strangers who happen to be criminals.”

The smile falls from his face. “I meant, we’re your scent matches.”

“Riiiiight,” I say slowly. “Thanks for the reminder of that one.” Not that the maple syrup scent coming off him in waves wasn’t a big enough give away.

Does this man know how mouth watering he is? Would it be weird if I brought it up? Yeah, okay, maybe not the best idea.

He sighs heavily, like he’s not a big fan of my hesitancy. What does he expect? It’s not like I found out by walking past him on the street, or bumped into him or something. We met while they were kidnapping me.

Okay, if we’re going to be technical, I guess I was the one who did the kidnapping at first, seeing as how I took off with them in the van. But still. Semantics.

“What I want you to know is that you’re safe with me. You have nothing to worry about.”

I hate how much his words settle some of the panic I’ve been feeling. “Is Nick really going to let me go once you’re able to leave?”

“Yeah.” I snort.

“Nova. You do know it’s not going to be easy to just move on with life after this. Scent matches are a big deal. It’s not something you can just pretend isn’t there. You will die if at least one of us doesn’t help you through your heat.”

“I know,” I grumble. “But there’s suppressants.If I don’t have a heat, I don’t have to worry about it. Is there any chance you can call Nick up and put an order in for some of those. Oh, and see if he can get me some slick pads. Being around you three, I have a feeling I’ll be leaving a fucking trail of slick whether I like it or not.”

He licks his lips. “I can try.”

“Thanks.” I give him a beaming smile. “I’m gonna get dressed now.”

“Okay. I–”

He doesn’t finish as I slam the door in his face. It was rude, yes, but also, like, they kidnapped me, so fuck them.

Standing there while smelling him had slick running down my fucking thighs, and I was ten seconds away from asking him to clean it up for me. With his tongue. And then give me a repeat of what we did in the bathroom earlier.

“Get a hold of yourself, Nova,” I groan, tossing the clothes onto the bed. Taking the towel off, I sigh, looking at the mess between my thighs. Using the towel, I clean myself up the best I can.

I hope they have a washer and dryer. Because if Nick can’t get me what I need, I’m going to be screwed. I don’t have enough scent blocking pads in the bag that I brought.

Something I’d very much like right about now. How can that asshole just be able to leave? He better be getting food, because I’m starving.

At least if he’s not here, I don’t have to worry about being treated like shit. There’s still a chance Will could be a dick, but so far he doesn’t seem too bad.

Getting dressed in Ian’s clothes–a pair of sweatpants, hoodie, and socks– I try and fail not to bury my face into the sweatshirt and deeply inhale his scent.

“I’m totally fucked,” I moan.

What the hell is my life going to be like now?

I don’t want Alphas. I don’t want a pack.

But do I really have the right to be picky? Seeing as how I started yesterday in a relationship and was happy, but ended it single, homeless,and kidnapped... I don’t think so.

Nick said I was free to go when they’re done here. But I don’t trust a word that comes out of his big stupid mouth. That man is crazy.He should be locked up or something.

He scares me... but also, the thought of him sends me into a rage I’ve never felt before.

All I can do right now is just take it hour by hour, day by day, because the reality is I’m not going anywhere unless they let me go. We’re in the middle of the woods, and only God knows how far away from the nearest house or town.

My plan is to stick with Ian, even if his smell makes me want to jump his bones and ride him like an Alpha-sized mechanical bull.

Honestly, the idea doesn’t sound too bad. I mean, I might not want them as my Alphas, but why not have a little fun while we’re here? It’ll make the time pass faster and we’ll get some orgasms out of it.

Fuck, maybe that’s just my oncoming heat talking. Nah, it’s one hundred percent my needy pussy making these demands.

Let’s be real, Trip might have been good with his dick, but he never knew how to use his mouth the way Ian did. If he’s that good at eating pussy, how well does his Alpha cock work?

I’m an Omega, I’m curious how it feels to take a knot. Sue me.
