Page 63 of The Omega Switch: Part 2

"It will be," Hunter said immediately.

I shook my head. "No. Listen first." He nodded once.

"Of course." He said. I took a slow breath.

"I decide the pace," I said, and the three of them answered at once.

"Yes."

"I decide whether I want one of you, all of you, or none of you around on any given day. Agreed?” I asked, and they nodded.

"Of course," they replied.

“Good, because I’m not the same girl you met back then. I’m different, and if you mess up, I’m out.” I said. Slowly, I walked toward Ronan. He watched me approach, curiosity flickering across his face. I stopped directly in front of the enormous alpha. Standing this close, I had to tilt my head back to meet his eyes. A year ago, that would have intimidated me. I rested one hand lightly against the center of his chest. His muscles tensed instantly beneath my palm.

"So..." I gave him a small push. "If I say… sit.” Ronan's lips twitched. Then, without breaking eye contact, he lowered himself into the nearest chair. I couldn't stop the laugh that escaped me. "Good." Something warm and hungry flashed through his dark eyes.

"I’ll do anything you ask," he said, his voice throaty and low. I looked toward the other two.

Elias stood perfectly still, and Hunter nodded, though amusement softened the edges of his usually composed expression.

"I like this version of you," Ronan admitted, his voice in awe.

"I know," I said. His eyebrows lifted. I folded my arms, looking at Elias.

"And if I tell you to leave..." Before I could finish, Elias answered quietly.

"We're out the door before you've finished the sentence." He met my gaze with complete sincerity. "I swear it." He added.

"If I say I don't want to be touched?" I asked, my eyebrow raised. Hunter spoke this time.

"You won't have to repeat yourself." He said. I walked toward him, pausing with my arms crossed.

“I’m not sure you can follow an omega,” I said, tilting my head. “You’re an alpha. You lead. I’m not sure if you’re up for the task.” I said, tapping my foot. Hunter looked at me, then lowered himself down to his knees in front of me. My heart skipped a beat.

“I’ll be whatever you want me to be, omega.” He said, his pupils growing large. I sat down on the bench nearby, an idea forming in my mind.

“Are you sure? Because I haven’t seen you try that hard.” I said, smirking. He lowered himself down more, on his hands and knees now, looking up at me like he was begging. And I wanted him to beg.

“I swear, Ivy, I’ll do anything.” He said, his voice pleading as he looked at me. I slowly stuck out my foot.

“Then take off my shoe,” I ordered. Hunter crawled forward, his hands landing reverently on my shoe as he slowly, gently undid the straps, his blue eyes heavy-lidded as he looked at me.

“As you wish,” he said. I noticed Elias and Ronan watching, their body language now interested and hungry. Hunter removed my shoe, my bare foot now in his hand, and lightly pressed his thumbs into my sole.

“That feels good,” I admitted, looking down at how he held my foot. “Massage it more,” I ordered, testing out my newfound power. Hunter nodded, his hands slowly kneading into my skin as my eyes fluttered. It felt so good to have my foot rubbed. I spent so much time on my feet that I barely had a chance to recover like this.

“You know, luckily for you, I don’t need the pack that courts me to be perfect. Not anymore.” I said, fighting the urge to tilt my head back and ask for a full-body massage. “Now, I just want honesty. And respect.”

“We will give you anything you ask, omega,” Ronan said, and Elias nodded along with him. Hunter looked entranced, his hands working against the sore muscle in my foot.

Unintentionally, I let out a light moan. All three men perked up, and while Hunter’s hands kept massaging my foot, his pupils grew large and dark as he watched me. I cleared my throat.

“Do you like letting me be in control?” I asked Hunter, and he nodded, looking like he was both in ecstasy and in pain. “But how can I know that you’ll always respect me? How am I supposed to trust an alpha who used his bark to control me?” I asked, my voice lower as I leaned toward him. Hunter took a deep, ragged breath, his hands still rubbing along my foot.

“Omega, I vow to you that you have complete control of me. My heart, my body, and anything you desire. I’ll have my vocal bark cords cut if it will make you feel safer.” He said, lowering his head to leave a kiss along the top of my foot. The action left me speechless, my mouth open as I felt the soft, warm feeling of his lips on my skin.

“Th-that will be unnecessary,” I gasped as I looked down at him. Their scents were strong now, but with more than just their usual pheromones - they were thick with lust. And it was affecting me, too. I was still an unbonded omega around three unbonded alphas. Despite my body being wrecked by forced suppression for years, it was healing, little by little. And right now, I was so turned on that my scent glands couldn’t hold back anymore. They released my perfume, thick and strong, into the air.
