Chapter 25 #2
“It’s not,” Nick growls. “So get fucked.”
“You already did that,” Ian points out.
“I’m going to kill you,” Nick snarls at his brother, lunging forward but getting nowhere. He looks down and curses. “Why the fuck am I tied to a chair?”
“Because you’ve been a bad boy.” I pat his cheek and he bares his teeth at me. “And we want to talk.”
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
“Stop it,” Will grunts. “Look, I get this is all a big shock and a big change, but you need to get with reality big brother. Tucker is your other scent matched Omega. The sooner you can accept that, the sooner we can move on and figure out how this is all going to work.”
“I’m just putting this out there,” Ian says. “I’m not helping with heats. My dick works for Nova’s pussy, and Nova’s pussy only. Sorry, dude,” Ian says to Tucker.
“No worries,” Tucker chuckles. “I don’t see you that way anyways.”
Ian frowns. “What? You mean you wouldn’t fuck me? Why not? I’d fuck me. I’m very fuckable. Tell him Nova. Tell him I’m fuckable.”
“Of course you are, baby.” I blow him a kiss. “The most fuckable Alpha.”
“See?” He points to me. “She agrees.”
Tucker looks at me with an amused smile and I wink.
“I mean, if we’re on the subject, the same goes for me,” Will says. “Sorry, man. I mean, I’ll be around you naked and shit for Nova’s heats, but my dick is only for her.”
“It’s fine,” Tucker laughs. “Really.”
“Can we stop fucking talking about who’s fucking who, and untie me?” Nick growls.
“Are you ready to accept that Tucker is your scent match?”
“No,” Nick snarls.
“Then nope.” I lean back in the chair.
Nick’s attention moves to Tucker. “Why are you doing this?”
“Hey.” Tucker frowns. “You think I wanted this?”
“Uh, yeah,” Ian says. “Seeing how you’ve been stalking him for months now. And not because of the case.”
“Wait, what?” I look to Tucker. “You have been?”
Tucker looks taken off guard. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he says to Ian.
“Huh.” Ian plops down in the chair opposite of mine.
He pulls out a fucking knife and apple out of no where and slices off a piece before taking a bite.
“Then why did you have photos of him in your house? And none of us? And videos on your computer? And why do you jack off to them and moan his name when you cum?” Ian raises an eye brow.
Tucker just gapes at Ian, like he’s going to have a heart attack. “How?”
“How do I know?” Ian grins menacingly. “You didn’t think I wasn’t going to find out everything about you when you started stalking my Omega, did you?” Ian looks to me. “Turns out Detective Davis is a freaky little Omega. Not such a goody two-shoes like we thought.”
“He’s lying,” Tucker blurts.
“Am not.” Ian grins wider.
“You’ve been stalking my Alpha?” I raise a brow. I mean, stalking me was kind of cute, but Nick? Why? When? How?
“It’s not that big of a deal, okay?” Tucker gets to his feet. “You know I was investigating you already. So I thought Nick was hot? It’s not a big deal.”
“You hear that Nick? It was meant to be. Your Omega already had a big crush on you. Your own little stalker. Tell me that’s not a perfect match,” Ian cackles.
“Shut. Up,” Nick growls.
“Can we get back on track please?” I ask, then grin up at Tucker. “Also, very hot.” He groans, turning away. “Now. You.” I point to Nick. “What you did was a dick move. You don’t just bite a person, then reject them immediately after. That’s fucked up.”
“I didn’t mean to bite him,” Nick growls.
“What? Did you just slip and your teeth caught your fall?”
He just stares at me, nostrils flaring.
I sigh heavily. “No one is saying that this isn’t a big deal. Finding out you not only have another Omega, but that it’s a man, is a big fucking deal. But it’s life, and he’s your Omega.” I lean in. “So be a man, and deal with it like a big boy.”
“Nova,” Nick snarls.
“Nick,” I snark back.
“Put the fact that he’s a man and my scent match aside. He’s the cop who’s been trying to put us behind bars,” he growls. “And stalking me, apparently.” Nick casts Tucker a side eye. “Do you really jerk off to photos of me?”
“No,” Tucker denys, but his blush gives him away.
“Oh, he does,” Ian not so helpfully throws in.
“You're fucking weird,” Nick mutters.
“So?” Tucker questions. “Weird seems to be the theme of this pack.”
“Hey, I’m not weird.” I frown.
Tucker smiles. “Babe, you wouldn’t let me leave until you picked off every piece of lint from my shirt the other day.”
“It was bugging me.” I narrow my eyes.
“Hey!” Nick barks. “Stop fucking looking at my Omega like that,” he growls. “She’s mine.”
“Ah, she’s ours too,” Ian reminds.
“Would you shut the fuck up?” Nick barks.
“What are you going to do about it?” Ian grins.
Nick ignores Ian and glares at Tucker. “Don’t think you can just come into our lives and steal our Omega. I will kill you,” he snarls.
“Says the man tied to a chair with an opossum on his shoulder?” Tucker retorts and Petunia licks Nick on the cheek, proving Tucker’s point. Nick doesn’t look threatening at all right now. I love it. “Forgive me for not trembling in my boots.”
Ohhh, this sassy side of Tucker is hot.
Tucker stands and leans over, placing both hands on the back of the chair on either side of Nick’s head, making Petunia scramble away.
“I am your scent match whether you like it or not. You bit me. You're bonded to me for life.” Tucker gets in his face. “I’m your Omega. So is Nova. I like Nova. Therefore, you're stuck with me. So do us all a favor, get the fuck over yourself and stop acting like a fucking crazy caveman. You wanna be upset over it? Fine. You have the right to be. You need time to come to terms with the fact that you are attracted to a man? You got it. But that doesn’t give you the right to disrespect me. I’m a human, Nick.
I have feelings And having your Alpha reject you the way you did to me fucking hurts.
But, unlike you, I’m not an asshole and I’d be willing to forgive you. ”
“I’m not attracted to you,” Nick growls.
“Maybe not. But you sure enjoyed fucking me.”
And because I always seem to get aroused in the worst times, my perfume bursts free in waves.
Both Nick and Tucker turn to look at me. “What?” I chew on my lower lip. “It’s hot, okay? Can I watch the next time you have hate sex?”
“Fucking hell,” Nick growls, eyes flicking back up to Tucker. They stare at one another for a moment, Nick’s nostrils flaring. Then he grunts in pain. “What the fuck! Why does it feel like my cock is pressing against something hard? It fucking hurts.”
“Because it is,” Ian chuckles.
Nick growls, trying to get out of the chair. “What the fuck did you guys do to me?”
“You were thinking with your dick. So, we must punish your dick.” I grin.
“What the fuck do you mean by that?” Nick growls.
“Cock cage.” Tucker grins down at Nick. “Have fun with that.”
Nick looks between the two of us in horror. “You’re crazy, the both of you!”
Tucker sits back down on the edge of the coffee table. “I’m not crazy. I just don’t appreciate people treating me badly.”
“Okay, stalker,” Ian mutters under his breath.
“How the fuck are you two okay with this? With him joining our pack?”
“Because we know you can’t control who you’re scent matched to,” Will explains. “And Nova likes him. We can’t deny her.”
“You’re both pussy whipped,” Nick grumbles.
“You should try it sometime. You don’t see our dicks locked up,” Ian counters.
Nick closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths. “What do I have to do to get you to take this fucking thing off me?”
“Apologize and give Tucker a chance,” I say.
“Not fucking happening,” he growls.
“Then good luck pissing in that thing.” I grin.
“I know you don’t like me. I don’t blame you for it, we didn’t get off on the right foot.
But I want you to know, the case against you and your brothers has been dropped.
Since the moment I found out who we are to each other, and I told you that earlier.
No one will go looking into it. The Mall Bandits case will die. ”
“Thank fuck for that,” Ian mutters. “I hated that name.”
“Not that you deserve it right now, but you are my Alpha and I would never do anything to put this pack in harm's way. Unlike you, I’m accepting what a scent bond means and the feelings and emotions that it comes with.”
Nick looks at all of us but says nothing. I watch as his shoulders slump and he hangs his head.
Well, fuck. Now this is just depressing.
“We’ll give you three some time together.” Will kisses the top of my head. “Come on, Ian. Let’s go grab some takeout.”
“Fine,” Ian grumbles. “Have fun.” Ian kisses the top of my head too.
The three of us just sit in the quiet, and now that the other two are gone, I feel like this has gotten a lot more serious.
“Nick?”
“What?” he mutters.
“You okay?”
“Do I look okay?” he asks, lifting his eyes to me.
I look to Tucker and he nods.
Sighing heavily, I go to undo the ropes.
Nick groans, shaking out his hands. “Nova.” I’ve never in my life seen such a look of vulnerability on his face. “Can we talk?” His eyes flick over to Tucker. “Alone.”
Tucker nods. “I’ll go take a walk on the beach.”
Tucker goes to kiss me but Nick growls and he backs away.
When Tucker is gone, I get to my feet and sit on Nick’s lap. He grunts, gripping my hips as I wrap my arms around his neck.
We stare at one another as I run my hands through his hair. “Nova.”
“Nick.”
“I’m pissed. So fucking pissed.”
“I know,” I murmur, playing with his hair.
“And scared,” he whispers, eyes staying on mine.
My hands stall for a moment before I nod. “Wanna tell me why?”
“I don’t believe him. I don’t trust that he won’t find out everything he needs to know and toss us behind bars. That can’t happen, I can’t be away from you. I’d fucking go crazy.”
“Then give him a chance to prove himself. Spend time with him, get to know him as Tucker Davis, not Detective Davis. Treat him like you would if he was any other male Omega with a different job.”
