Page 39 of Bliss & Her Idols (Pack Bonds Omegaverse #10)

Jin shakes his head. “Worth it to see you in action. That was incredible, my Queen. This contest should have had a fighting task, rather than dancing. You’d win over the Alphas.”

“What are you doing?”

“Just out for a run.”

“Seriously? Or are you running from someone?” I narrow my eyes in worry.

I examine Jin’s suit, but it’s intact.

Did Easter do something to Jin on the date?

My chest tightens.

Jin blows the hair out of his face.

“Zoe…Mr. Stapleton…security…the men with the guns, yeah?” He doesn’t look repentant.

In fact, he looks filled with the same vivacious spirit as on the first day that I met him in the arena. He no longer seems crushed.

Perhaps, Cricket’s feral nature has rubbed off on him.

Can I be blamed for loving Jin like this, even if he’s being chased by men with guns?

“I’d call you reckless, apart from the fact that Torin and I are taking the same risk. We came out here to interrupt your date with that bitch Easter.” I kiss Jin’s long neck.

“You just can’t get enough of this sexy ass, huh? But about that date. I’m kind of on the run from my keepers because I refused to go on it.”

I stare at Jin, as pride as well as fear rushes through me. “Won’t you be in trouble?”

“So? I’ve been controlled and punished my entire life.

I earned Philomena Idol and her pack over a billion dollars last year, but I didn’t see a dime.

Now, they’re selling me off in a fucking TV show.

Tomorrow is the final, when the three remaining packs will compete to bond with me.

What the hell more can they do to me? I won’t go on any more fake dates. I’ll never let Easter near me again.”

Satisfaction shoots through me at his words.

“My good Ice Beauty.” I tip my head up, kissing Jin slowly and deeply in reward. He moans. Fuck the cameras. Let them have a show. “I love you. I hated the idea of you on even fake dates. Every moment that you’re not in my nest has killed me.”

Jin tenderly draws his thumb underneath my eye. “Look at these shadows. You should be asleep.”

“I can’t sleep, eat, fucking breathe without bonding you.”

Jin rests his forehead against mine. “My Queen. My Chirp and Charming. You’ve the only ones for me, my bonded pack. I don’t want anybody else.”

“One more day. We can get through the final.” I hope. “Do you have any clues about it?”

“Only that it’s a masked ball. You’ll be the most gorgeous woman there, my Queen.

” He pulls back, stroking my back. “Look, I know that Charming can be a grumpy, repressed Alphahole, but he’s also my savior.

He’s the savior of all the Idols. He’s our Prince Charming, the only Alpha who we’d follow into battle. Fuck, we’d start a war for him.”

I scrunch up my nose. “Why?”

Jin flicks his gaze significantly at the walls.

So, there are cameras.

I clear my throat. “I love Tor as well.”

“So, tell him. He didn’t experience any love from his family growing up. He’s more fucked up than I am. He would have died several times without Zero and me. But he’s also our best friend. He’s like a brother to the Idol Betas. Charming always keeps his promises.”

What promises?

And how could Torin have died? Is he still in danger from his family?

Shocked, I stare at Jin.

I’m acutely aware that he’s not telling me something crucial because of the cameras.

What’s the real truth of the Idol siblings and the Estate with the Idol camp?

The truth of Torin’s childhood?

I lean closer, whispering into Jin’s ear, “What’s the secret?”

Suddenly, loud footfalls come from the end of the corridor, along with angry shouting.

It must be Stapleton and his security team.

My heartbeat speeds up. I ball my fists, grabbing Jin by the hand and preparing to run.

Can we make it?

“Fuck, they’ve found us.” Jin yanks on my hand.

Instead of running, however, he pulls open a janitor’s closet that’s concealed halfway down the corridor and pulls me inside.

“What is it with you and closets?” I hiss.

Jin grins, pulling the door closed as quietly as he can. “I hid in a lot of them on the Idol Estate.”

The closet is tiny.

It’s also pitch black.

I can smell strong citrus scented cleaning products, which I knock over with a clank when I shuffle my feet. Some of them are scent canceling products for the big events, when it’s overwhelming to have large congregations of mixed dynamics.

The products are expensive but used by elites.

Jin deliberately knocks a couple more of the cans over, spilling the scent canceling liquid over the floor and hopefully, masking my stronger scent.

The closet is hot and stifling.

I cling to Jin’s hard chest. He wraps his arms more tightly around me, pulling me even closer.

In the dark, our breaths sound too loud.

His heart is thumping as loudly as mine is.

Jin cards his fingers through my hair to calm me.

Please let the stink of these products be enough to cover our scents.

Outside, I hear loud, running steps.

There must be at least three security Betas.

I tremble.

My heart is beating — thud, thud, thud .

What if Stapleton has caught Torin?

“That little bastard.” Stapleton’s voice is startlingly close, just outside the door.

Jin stiffens. “I didn’t suspect that he’d have the balls to escape from makeup, before he’d even been escorted to the date.

To be fair, that Omega is enough to make my balls escape back into my body.

Easter needs to come with a warning label.

If I had my way, she wouldn’t be allowed near any of the Idols. ”

A clack of heels.

Then Zoe’s harsh reply, “Well, you don’t have the authority to veto anyone. It’s not your job to mother the Idols. Keep your opinions to yourself, Stapleton. You’re meant to be a professional.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“When we find him, bring him back to his room. He’s ruined the date already.

The poor Omega is in tears. I hope for his sake that he doesn’t end up bonded to her, else he will spend the rest of his life learning what it feels like to be bonded to a scorned Omega.

An Omega’s revenge is no joke. One more day, then he’ll discover that he’s no longer the entitled rock star brat that the world worships, but rather is merely a bonded Beta like everybody else. ”

Finally, the voices and noise slowly fades.

“Should we remain where we are a bit longer for safety?” I whisper.

“Do you think that’s what I am?” Jin asks with a heartwrenching flatness to his voice. “ An entitled rock star brat ?”

He stands as still as he can as if waiting on a judgment that could ruin him.

He really doesn’t know what I’ll say.

I reach up in the dark, tracing the perfect outline of Jin’s face.

“You are a rock star. You’ve worked hard to earn your career.

Nobody can take your achievements away from you.

But you’re not entitled and only a brat in the sexy way in bed that makes me hot.

My Ice Beauty, this Zoe sounds jealous. She’s the one who has tried to dim your brightness, every time that I’ve seen you together.

Don’t let her get away with that because you are a fucking star. ”

“I am legendary.” I feel Jin’s lips curl into a smile against my head. He kisses my hair. “Supervisors are Idols who fail to become singers. I guess she’s bitter about it.”

When I stroke Jin’s sharp cheekbone, I’m shocked that it’s wet with tears.

I push myself up on my tiptoes and kiss Jin, desperately and passionately.

I want to prove that he is legendary and make sure that he believes it, rather than wrapping the word around himself like a shield.

He deserves to be worshiped, as much as he worships me.

Plus, I’m still coming down from the rush of adrenaline and our narrow escape.

I kiss him with the thrill of someone who has just survived.

I kiss him as someone who is newly aware of how incredible life is and how easily it can be snatched away.

Danger is a fucking aphrodisiac.

We could still be caught but right now, we’re together and alone in the black. All I can feel is Jin’s hard cock pressing against my hip and the slick soaking my thigh.

When I draw back, we’re both panting.

Jin pushes me back against the wall, sliding one arm around my waist to hold me still.

“We need to be quick, in case they find us. I’ve had fantasies of fucking my Omega fast and hard in the dark.

That I was hiding with them, but all they could think about wasn’t the fear but the feel of my hard cock spearing and breeding them. ”

“Do it. Make me feel it,” I moan.

Jin growls, reaching down between us to release his hard cock from his trousers.

I reach down to slide my hand up and down his cock’s velvety length, unable to resist touching.

It feels perfect in my hand.

Jin pushes me harder against the wall like he’s already close to coming.

I stroke him once more, before pulling my hand back.

Jin wraps his arm around my waist to hold me still. “Spread your legs.” Then he presses his thigh between mine. I can’t resist grinding against it. “Good little Wolf.”

Fuck.

My eyelashes flutter shut. Nobody has said those words to me before, and they pull at something inside me that I didn’t know needed to be healed.

I’m not only a hunter.

Fierce.

I can also be this man’s good little Wolf.

I shiver, as Jin slides his elegant fingers through my hair. He tightens his hold, tugging my neck to the side.

Then my eyes widen at the sensation of him licking, sucking, and gently biting my neck, marking me.

I won’t be able to hide this tomorrow.

He’s making a point.

“You’re my Queen.” Jin nips up and down my neck. It’s heaven. “I want you to walk into that masked ball already claimed as mine. Everybody will be able to see that no matter what happens, I’ve chosen you.”

Every word is a brand on my heart.

My eyelashes are matted wet.

I need him to forget everything. I need to forget too.

We need to be overwhelmed with pleasure to wipe out the fear of tomorrow.

“Lose control.” I hitch up my skirt. My wet pussy is throbbing. “Show me how you love me.”

Jin slips his hand to cup my ass. I grind harder against him.

Then I kiss him like I’ll die if I stop.

He kisses me back, as if he doesn’t need air but only the taste of me.

Then he thrusts into me, deep and slow and like he’s marking me on the inside.

Claiming and possessing.

I surrender to his heat.

Jin is owning me with each deep thrust, as well as the way that his tongue tangles with mine, but then it’s my body that’s possessing him .

How much more can you own someone, than by taking them into you?

He’s drowning in me.

He breaks the kiss. “Bliss…”

He presses his cheek to mine.

My breathing becomes rapid. My eyelashes flutter.

In the darkness, we’re not two but one.

Jin fucks into me harder and wilder. My back is slammed into the wall, but all I feel is the ecstasy that’s crashing through me like a tidal wave.

It’s building, higher and higher and…

“Jin…” I claw his shoulders.

And the wave crashes over me, as Jin’s hips stutter.

Jin comes at the same time as I do.

My knees buckle, but I’m held up by Jin’s arms.

Even as the pleasure starts to fade, there’s something about the desperate way that Jin clutches onto me that makes me feel he’s terrified this could be the last time he’s held like this.

The last time that he’s loved.

In the dark, we’re joined as close as a Beta and Omega can be.

Except, in the light of day tomorrow, if I fail in my mission, Jin will be bonded to another pack.
