Page 180 of Rogue & Her Hunters
“We are good at burning things down.” Bird smiles.
“And blowing them up,” Joker adds with a wide grin. “Also, shooting and stabbing them.”
When I writhe in the sheets, as slick drips between my thighs, Bird’s brows crease in concern. “I wish our Alpha was here.”
Our Alpha, I mouth.
“He’s a scary motherfucker but he’s also kind.” Joker’s expression softens. “He’ll be settling the Rogues down for the night. I bet that he’s putting them in our neighbor’s mansion. Better than they’re used to, huh? I hope my sis…”
Bird reaches to grasp Joker’s hand. “Colette will be okay. Phantom will make sure of it.”
“I know. But after all these years of searching, it was agony leaving her behind. I know in here…” He taps his head. “…that she’ll still be there tomorrow and won’t be torn away from me again. But in here…” He taps his chest. “…I’m fucking terrified that she’ll be gone.”
Bird squeezes his hand. “Of course you are, Honey. You lost everybody. I’ve been torn away from my family and sister too. I know how it feels.”
Joker’s face falls. “Shit, Cookie, I’m sorry.”
“But I know where they are. I’m sure that one day, I’ll see them again. Now, I’ve found all of you, and I never would have done if I’d continued to be trapped inside the Omega Hotel. I would havediedthere. For Rogue, being sent to the Facility was hell, but to me, it was heaven. She was the angel who saved my life and then gave me a new one. I will never regret that.”
I stare at him in awe.
Is that how he sees what happens?
My purr deepens.
I reach out, grasping at both men and drag them to lie down either side of me, needing their touch.
“Woah.” Bird laughs. “I forget that you’re just as strong as an Omega, as you are as an Alpha, sweetheart.”
I nudge his shoulder with mine.
Damn straight.
I throw an edge of blanket over his face just to enjoy the sound of his spluttering.
“Hey, and you’re still throwing things at me.” He shoves the blanket off his face. “Still, worth it.”
Joker chuckles, letting go of Bird’s hand and kissing me.
Then he fidgets with his trousers, pulling a face. “I’m soaked through. Cuddling our Omega has its downside, and I never thought that I would say that. I have cock chafing, and normally, I only get that after a seriously wild and fun night.” He squirms out of his top and then his trousers, which are flecked with blood. I don’t care that they’re blood stained. I’m a fierce Omega. I’m proud that it proves this Beta fought for me. Joker hurls his clothes to join the walls of the nest. Then he wipes at hiswet thighs. “It’s like I’m the one who has become an Omega. Although, that’s not a bad idea.”
“What do you mean?” Bird asks.
I perk up, however, because I understand.
The more Omegas the merrier.
I chirp, nuzzling Joker.
Joker laughs. “Have I told you yet how much I like this snuggly version of you, baby?”
I nip his neck in response over the bonding bite, with which my Alpha side marked him.
Joker moans in mixed pleasure and pain, humping his hips. “F-f-fuck. That’s right. P-p-punish me.”
Brat.
I bite him again.
