“It has come to my attention that our lovely omega is in need of a few things,” I drawled from the doorway. Sin's head snapped up, wide eyes locking on me. “What?”Straightening, I walked deeper into the room and took a seat on the bed opposite her. Sin hadn’t said much since Allison’s visit two days ago. I tried fishing to figure out what had her so worried but she changed the subject every time. Allison’s visit had been a surprise but I could understand why she came here. She was better suited to run the center than the bastard who used to work there. “You need some new clothes,” I told her. “You’ve gained a healthy weight and because of that most of the clothes you have don’t fit you. I know that right at this second you’re not wearing any underwear because it’s too small for you.” Colour flooded her cheeks. “I am.”“Liar.” My smile widened. “You need clothes, underwear, shoes, and whatever else you want or need. Let’s go shopping.”“All of us?” “No, just you and me.”Sin frow
“Trust me, doll. I promise you that everything will be okay.” I stared at Tyrone’s hand and then looked at the golden brown horse behind him. “Please?”They had said that I needed to face my fears and I knew that this was the first step to do that. I had to face my fear of horses by getting onto a horse again. But I wanted to pee my pants. It was the first time being this close to a horse after that incident. I shook my head. “Can’t.”Letting out a sigh, he dropped his hand and stepped forward to press a kiss to my forehead. “I still need to go, doll. Need to check and make sure that everything’s okay.”“I know.”He smiled. “Maybe another day.”I nodded, stepping back to watch him climb onto his horse. Placing his hat on his head, he nodded at me and then took off with Michel right behind him. Shoulders dropping, I turned and headed back towards the house. Bella was doing laundry and she wouldn’t let me help. Besides riding out with Tyrone and Michel, I had nothing to do. I walked
“Lauren, I can’t even pronounce her maiden name, was part of a well-known family in London,” Michel said as he scanned the laptop screen. “Wealthy fucking people.”“You come from a wealthy family,” I pointed out. “Not as wealthy,” Michel muttered, shifting on the bed. “Here’s a lot of photos taken of her with her family when she was around sixteen. A few with a boy that looks a few years older than her. An article states that she ran away from home when she was seventeen and disappeared. There’s nothing about her parents ever searching for her at all which is a little suspicious.”I frowned. I had first-hand experience on how shitty family could be. Michel’s parents weren’t any better. But weren’t they even a little worried about their daughter suddenly disappearing?“What else?” I asked him as I exit the bathroom. “Nothing that important.” He sighed. “Tell me again why I’m doing this.”Crawling onto the bed, I sat facing him. They already knew that Sin called Lauren. No matter wh
The things we ordered online started arriving two days later. I was busy unpacking the boxes in the bedroom when Bella joined me with a few more bags and a box. By now I recognized David’s club logo.“New toys?” Bella questioned when she dropped everything next to me on the bed. Colour flooded my cheeks. “I got some for Tyrone.”She raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Can I look?”I hesitated a few seconds and then nodded. Trying my best to ignore her, I continued pulling the clothes from the boxes and placing them aside. When the box was empty, I threw it to the floor and reached for another box. “I can’t wait to watch him try these out,” Bella muttered. “That is if you allow me to watch.”My eyes snapped up to hers in surprise. “Why do you say that?”“Because despite all of us being together there are times when someone would want some privacy.” Bella’s eyes dropped to the clothes on my lap. “Primarily you and Ty are mated so we’ll understand if you would like to spend time without us.”“Lik
Sin had a tight grip on my hand. She hadn’t let go since I took hold of her hand when we left the ranch. I was worried that she would have a panic attack, but she didn’t. Bella had done a great job at distracting her by playing a music guessing game. It was a surprise when Sin actually relaxed, but she tensed again the moment we arrived at David’s club. There were only a few cars parking in the lot which set me at ease a little. We had made arrangements for a private room but decided against the private tour because we wanted Sin to get the full experience of the club. Tonight the club would only be open for club members. There would be a few performances that we could watch if Sin wanted or we could head directly to the private room we had booked. The bouncer at the front door greeted us by name and barely even spared Sin a glance but I noticed that he did a double-take at the burned side of my face. Once we signed in and received our armband, we were allowed to enter. Bella
Tyrone kept one hand pressed to the back of my head as he carried me out of the club. It took a few minutes for the sound of the club to fade and cool air to brush against my skin. Another few minutes passed and then we were back at the car.“Let go,” Tyrone ordered softly. My hold loosened when he started lowering me. After a moment he placed me on the seat. “Scoot over for me,” he ordered softly. I moved back across the seat, glancing around the dark car. Tyrone climbed in and then closed the door behind him. The lock clicked into place. He looked at me again and then held out his arms. He didn’t have to ask me twice. When I was within reach, Tyrone pulled me onto his lap and against his chest. My body instantly relaxed against his when he started purring. I hated and loved how an alpha’s purr affected an omega. Silence surrounded us until he broke it. “Tell me what happened,” Tyrone said softly.I swallowed. “I…I don’t like the b-bondage. It triggers m-memories.”Tyrone rub
We’re going on vacation.Well, more like a short getaway because our trip was going to be a short one--only four days. I wanted it to be longer, but beggars couldn’t be choosers. It would be fun, only the four of us. Away from everyone and we would be able to forget everything that had happened the last few weeks. I was excited and despite not showing it, I knew that Sin was too. She told us that she had never been to the beach before. In about two days, she would. We had all agreed that our destination would be a surprise which was why I was in town.Sin needed some new beach clothes like a bikini. Michel had asked me to pick up a few other things that we needed because he was busy going over things to make sure that nothing went wrong on the ranch while we were away. “Bella?” I tensed. Pursing my lips, I slowly turned around. My eyes widened in surprise. The girl standing a few feet away was not the girl I remembered. I blinked, eyes trailing down her body and then back up to
It’s not what you’re thinking.How could he know what we were thinking? All I got from David was that stupid text right after I tried to call him. He has been avoiding our calls since. I was tempted to drive out to his house and demand answers from him, but Sin’s excitement for our trip prevented me from doing that. She had been the one asking questions about Kate. She was right about worrying about Kate. Somehow she had managed to worm her way into David’s life. If Bella hadn’t seen them, would David have ever told us? He said it was not what we were thinking, so if they weren’t trying to tear us apart, what was it then? Were they dating? It would tear our friendship apart if she ended up being his mate. “Are we there yet?” My eyes snapped up when the soft question filled the air. To keep our destination a secret, we used blankets to cover the back windows. Another one had been used as a partition between the back and the front of the car. For most of the drive Sin and I had been
