Jake

I can sense the security guard hovering behind us in the background. It’s time to go.

For a moment, I consider inviting the omega in my arms back to the villa – I would give anything to spend the night with her – but she asked me to take it slow. And Dylan is right. I need to show her that she can trust me.

I’m not ready to let her go yet though.

I take a hold of her hand and walk us to our waiting car, diving into the back, pulling her in after me. Unable to resist, I claim her mouth and she makes another of those little whimpers. I draw away, her eyes are closed in pleasure as I turn from her to the driver.

“We want to do some star gazing,” I tell him. “Can you take us some place?”

The look he gives me in the rearview mirror tells me he’s not buying any of that shit, but I don’t care, tugging Giorgie in close beside me as he starts the engine.

“The sand dunes are the best place,” the driver tells us.

“What do you say?” I ask her. “Want to see more of those stars?”

She nods with a wide smile, and I can’t drag my gaze away from hers until the car stops fifteen minutes later.

We stumble out of the car, leaving the road and heading out across the sand, our feet sinking through the dunes.

Giorgie laughs and I yank her along, the two of us stumbling more than once as the ground sucks at our shoes.

By the time we make it to the peak of the dune, we’re both breathless and panting.

Giorgie pulls her hand from mine and strides along the rim of the peak, throwing back her head to stare up at the heavens.

The stars are even brighter here and she looks celestial framed against the glittering sky, her hair dancing around her face, being carried by the light breeze that ruffles the surface of the sand.

“Come here,” I tell her, my voice gruff.

Her eyes don’t leave the stars. “What are we doing here, Jake?”

“I’m hoping you’re going to let me kiss you again, Omega.”

“And then what?”

I growl, letting her know exactly what I’m hoping will come next.

“This is crazy,” she says, finally dropping her gaze to mine. “We don’t even like each other.”

“I like it when you kiss me, Omega. I like it when you make those sweet mewling noises. I like it when your body is hot against mine.”

She draws in a breath.

“Shit,” she mumbles and I know she can’t resist this anymore than I can. It’s been building for too long. I take a pace towards her.

“It’s not like this can mean anything, though can it? There’s only one spot on the research team and…”

“Let’s not think about that now,” I tell her.

The thought of it makes my stomach hurt. Only one of us can claim that spot. It suddenly seems like a bittersweet pill to swallow. If I win it, Giorgie will be leaving Crestmore.
