Roane stood in the store and said, “There is no such thing as a breeding present.”

Simon had woken her with a thorough massage that took out all the aches and pains. Now he took his wide hand and pushed her into the shop. “I know Tyr asked you about jewellery, and we want to spoil you, so we are going to.”

“I don’t get a say in this?” She muttered as she was propelled to where Adil and Tyr were looking over trays of sparkly stuff.

She was wearing another one of Tyr’s choices, and Simon sat with the others and sat her on his lap. The salesperson probably looked better than Roane when she was covered with mud and soaked. That woman was high maintenance.

“Oh, is this the lucky lady?” The woman’s tone had gone from flirty to brittle.

She looked at the saleswoman. “Luck had little to do with it.”

The blonde smiled slightly and turned her charms back to Adil. “So, you were interested in chains?”

Adil smiled. “No, the filigree collars.”

Tyr nodded. “And I am after the matching earrings.”

Simon smiled. “I am after the bracelets.”

The woman lifted the tray. “Which set?”

The guys shrugged together. “All of them.”

Roane pinched the bridge of her nose.

Tyr grinned. “That way, you know which items go together.”

Adil snorted. “You don’t even want to know how upset my father was that you were casually attired.”

“And then you reminded him that I am a beta, not an omega, and he calmed down, right?” She stared at him. “Right?”

“This was before you arrived and reminded him of his attempt on your life.”

Tyr chuckled. “Too bad you turned down the car.”

She blinked. “Shit. Right. I have to go rent a car for tomorrow.”

Simon grabbed her as she started to rise. “We will send a car for you.”

She said in a tense tone, “I want to drive myself.”

He nuzzled at her neck. “No. Your body is exhausted.”

“My body is fine. I can drive myself.”

His whisper was dark. “Then I just need to exhaust you again tonight.”

She shivered and glared at him. “Knock it off.”

He paused and then burst out laughing. “I am now understanding a need for passive punishment. You are looking at me like an angry, wet kitten. That’s inappropriate.”

She put her finger down. “I am a woman who has lived on her own for a decade. I just need to rent a car until I buy a new truck.”

“I don’t want you driving a truck. We want you to use a driver.”

She stiffened. “Seriously?”

The other two looked over and nodded.

She spoke through clenched teeth. “Did I miss another den chat where you all agreed that I can’t drive my vehicle anymore?”

Simon murmured, “You slept through it.”

She hissed at him and got off his lap. She stalked out of the store, sprinting when the crowd surrounded her. She didn’t look back. She had a destination in mind.

She had just reached the rental office when an arm wrapped around her waist and simply lifted her off her feet. She looked up at her captor and froze.
