RYLAN

Ido my best to ignore Jasper as he prepares a simple breakfast. Just like I do my best to not think about him walking into the apartment in the middle of the night, smelling of Dominic so strongly I could still smell the citrus scent of my friend when I grabbed a drink this morning. Instead, I try to focus on the travel guitar in my hands, running through the extended solo of one of the songs the band is recording tonight. Not that I succeed.

Every few heartbeats, I glance across the open space, watching as he works in the kitchen, my eyes unerringly finding the source of my frustration. This time is no different. The bruise might as well have a spotlight on it, the way it sits above the collar of his black tee but below his hairline. Every Alpha instinct comes surging to life, the need to stake my claim on him, mark him, making my hands tremble.

What is it about him that makes me so reactive?

He has no scent, no need for comfort or reassurance, no drive to make me proud or content. He isn’t misdesignated. Jasper is as Beta as they come.

And yet I want to bend him over the island and bite over that damn hickey until it’s my bruise left on his throat. Until it’s my cock he’s stretching his lips around and my cum coating his throat. My forgotten boner rages to life at the thought, and it’s the metaphorical last straw.

I perch the guitar against the side of the couch and cross the space before he’s finished plating the eggs. His head snaps up when I pull the plate away from him and set it on the counter, his eyes wide with his shock. His throat moves with his sudden swallow.

Fuck me, bergamot floods the space. For a moment, I hope he won’t notice my scenting, but then his nostrils flare.

“What’s wrong?” he asks.

Wrong? Part of me wants to double check he understands what scenting is, what it signifies. Alphas don’t fucking scent when things are wrong. And right now? The only thing wrong is that I’m pining over a man who clearly has eyes for everyone but me. Including my best fucking friend. I breathe through my nose, clenching my hands, trying to calm that innate part of me that needs him to understand that he’s mine.

Jasper grabs the edge of the counter, his grip tight enough that his knuckles whiten and his forearms go taut. He runs his tongue over his bottom lip, eyes skating over me. I take another deep breath, trying to convince myself to take a step back, to ignore that hickey, but just as I’m managing to lift my foot, I notice a second bruise just under his left ear, like where I might put a bonding mark on an Omega.

My dick twitches.

“Rylan?” he asks, lowering his voice. It sluices over me, trying to calm me, but all I can think of is someone else—another fucking Alpha—having him splayed out on a bed to do with as they please.
