That seems to kick start her brain.
“Oh my god,” she shouts, grabbing the blankets and covering herself. “No. No no no!” she shouts, pointing a finger between us. “This can not be happening. Oh god.”
“How do you know her name?” The guard asks, looking between us. “Gia, are you okay? What's going on.”
“No.” She buries her face in the blankets. “This is a dream. This isn’t happening.”
My heart breaks a little. I can’t expect her to accept us with open arms.
I’m her younger stepbrother for fuck sakes.
But the fact is, she is my scent match. She’s my Omega.
I’ve been pinning after a woman who was meant to be mine all this time.
While I want to be screaming from the rooftops, feeling like I’m on top of the world, I try to take it slow.
Because while this might be a dream come true for me, this is probably the last thing she would have wanted.
I’m not walking away. Fuck that. I’m going to do everything in my power to make this work. Even if it means going at her pace.
First, I need to talk to her.
“Gia.” I get to my knees, her eyes still wide, looking a bit like a scared feral animal.
“What is going on!” the guard asks. “Gia, do you need me to remove these two?”
“Please don’t,” Max pleads. “We know her.”
“You do?” The guard asks.
“Gia is Trenton’s stepsister.”
“Holy fuck.” The guard groans.
“Just let us talk to her, please?”
“Gia?” the guard asks.
“I just had sex with my stepbrother,” she whispers, then looks up at Max. “And his best friend.”
“Boyfriend,” Max says, voice soft and playful. “Hi, Gia. It's been a long time since I’ve seen you. Can’t say I’m not thrilled.”
“Before you freak out. Please hear me out,” I beg her. “I know this is a shock, no one saw this coming. But it happened and fuck, it was amazing. You can’t tell me you didn’t just enjoy everything out there.”
“That was before I knew it was you,” she hisses, shooting me a glare.
What does it say about me that her pissed off side has my cock twitching?
“I know. I know. And I’m sorry you were blindsided. But so were we. We didn’t know it was you until right now when we walked in. We didn’t see your face. We walked into The Nest’s main room, smelled the most mouth watering pina colada scent and our whole DNA changed. You might not be able to smell us, Gia, but we can smell you.”
“Don’t say it.” She shakes her head, her words a plea, twisting at my heart.
“You are our scent match,” Max finishes for me. “Our Omega.”
“I can’t be,” she says, shaking her head. “I can’t be.”
“Why not?” I ask.
