Chapter Fifty-One

Jett

“ W ill you stop squirming?” Riley elbowed her brother as the three of us sat on the couch in the small jet on our way to Grace and Spencer.

How did we not know Spencer had a jet? Okay, it was the company’s jet and usually used for company business, which was why Wes knew about it. But still…

At least Grace was okay. Shit, it had been a fucking day. If anything happened to her it would destroy the pack. Every single one of us cared for her in our own way. Even Brennan.

And me?

Yeah, I wanted some more alone time with Grace. Even if it was just her riding behind me on my motorcycle.

Though I’d take more movie nights with her and Evan. Also, I hadn’t taken her to karaoke yet.

“Um, sorry.” Evan squeezed his eyes shut, took a deep breath.

He got up from the couch and moved back to one of the rows to sit with Wes.

Wes pulled Evan into his arms. He looked like that guilt monster was on him again. Yeah, Wes needed to get over that. Literally, that was the point of packs.

Also, Spencer and Grace had mated. Good for them. But I wasn’t even sure how they could have just been lying on the beach. I was a beta and when Brennan and I mated we had sex for days.

Same with when we’d mated Evan.

“Why are you so squirmy?” Riley watched as Evan tried and failed to get comfortable in the overstuffed airplane seat next to Wes.

“Spence’s jet has no bedroom.” I grinned at Riley. We’d been trying to watch an action movie with Evan while Wes and Brennan worked.

The couch faced an entertainment center with a pop out TV. Two more seats, which swiveled, were beyond the couch. After that, there was a small galley filled with snacks and a bathroom. Apparently, there was no flight attendant today.

Behind us was an area with rows of seats and tables, which was where Wes and Brennan were working.

“Some of the seats do fold out into beds, as does the couch,” Wes replied.

Evan squeaked, as he buried his face in Wes’ shoulder. “Yeah, I vote for a pack jet with a bedroom or two.”

“Sounds good to me.” I mean, I could get used to this. Also, Brennan hated flying. A pack jet would probably make his business trips easier.

“I don’t get it.” Riley blinked.

“Do you really want to know?” Brennan looked up from his laptop, as he worked on the other side of the aisle from Wes at a fold-down table.

“Grace must be getting railed . And he can’t block it out.” I paused the movie, enjoying teasing him just a little. Because there was nothing like trying to arrest someone and then feeling Evan getting busy through the bond.

“You can feel things through mate bonds,” Brennan explained diplomatically.

“While you can tamp them down, so others don’t feel them or you don’t feel others, strong emotions leak through, especially if you’re close physically.

Many times, it’s a good thing–like sensing when your mate is sad or in danger.

But when you’re in a meeting and your mates are, um, not, it can pose a challenge. ” He gave me and Evan looks.

Riley started laughing, then stopped. “Do Evan and Grace even have a bond with each other?”

Evan held up two fingers.

“They’re bonded through me, and to each other,” Wes replied, rubbing Evan’s back.

“Omegas can do that?” Riley asked.

“They can bond with each other, yes. It’s just not legally binding like a bond between an omega and alpha,” I replied.

Riley nodded. “Can I bond with someone? Because I want an omega with big tits and hair past her ass.”

“Are we really having this discussion?” Evan moaned.

I was here for this discussion. It was much better than thinking about all the favors I owed Cam and Lexi back at the station for everything we’d done today.

“You’re a sex educator, do you want to lead it, Evan?

” Brennan goaded. “Riley, I really appreciate you being comfortable enough with us to ask us questions like this. As far as I can tell, alphas can bond thetas. Then, you can bond an omega through an alpha. Like how Jett and Evan are bonded through me.”

“Oh. I can have a pack and mates and all that right? Even though I’m a theta?” For a moment her voice went small.

“Yes,” Evan assured. “While thetas have a tendency to be loners, that doesn’t mean they don’t have mates.”

Riley gave him the side-eye.

“He’s right. I know a few, and while I think only one has a pack, they’re all mated, mostly to betas, because thetas don’t like to be told what to do.

But I suppose if you have the right alphas, the right people, you could absolutely have a pack and thrive in it,” Brennan assured her. “You’re doing okay with us.”

“There are packs without alphas,” I added. Such as all-beta packs, and the occasional omega pod, which was an all-omega pack.

She thought about it for a moment. “Yeah, okay. I’d just need a backhouse, but why not? Hey, what’s my superpower as a theta?”

“Superpower?” Wes asked as Evan buried his face in his shoulder.

I mean, I could feel that Grace was getting all the sex, so I could only imagine what Evan and Wes were feeling.

“You know, Alphas have knots or locks, omegas are sex gods, betas are generous lovers. What are thetas?” Riley prodded.

“I’m a professional and can answer this,” Evan mumbled over and over as if trying to gear himself up for it.

Again, I was here for this conversation.

“I’ve got this, Evan,” Brennan started. “According to the paper I read, thetas generally have no gag reflex, they also are really good at a type of circular breathing that allows them to breath while their mouth is, um, full.”

“You’ve read papers about thetas?” Riley slurped her soda again.

He had. I’d looked over some of them, too.

“Of course. With two new designations in the pack, I’ve been doing all the research I can. There’s a lot more on thetas than gammas. Do I even want to know why the military would have an interest in the gamma danger response?” Brennan looked at us.

“Gammas in battle sounds like chaos,” I replied. Though that could be just what some black ops team needed to disrupt governments and shit. No wait, that’s what they used kappas for.

Riley frowned, hard. “How is having no gag reflex a superpower?”

I tried not to laugh as Evan looked uncomfortable.

“It’s like what female alphas can do, but more, ” Brennan replied tentatively.

Riley set down her soda, grabbed her phone, and frowned.

“Yeah, I’d be careful what group chat you ask that in.” I stole her phone.

“Just tell me.” She knocked her shoulder into mine and took it back.

Fine.

“Blowjobs,” I replied.

I knew she knew what those were. Not just from her friends. Evan did have general sex and relationship talks with her, but I could understand how a conversation about thetas being particularly talented at blowjobs could get uncomfortable.

“Um, I can send you an educational video. You could also talk to Grace,” Evan said, looking a bit uncomfortable. “I’m sure she’d love to chat with you about all sorts of things.”

“Okay, still not sure how that works, but whatever.” Her eyes rolled.

“Again, thank you for being comfortable enough to discuss things like this with us,” Brennan told her.

“You can talk to any of us about anything–even your brother. Though I understand that you might want to speak with certain people about specific things. One thing I have never doubted about Grace is her care for you. I think she’d speak with you about anything you’d like.

That being said, don’t feel like you have to.

We can find other people for you to talk to–Katie or Lexi or your sisters for example. ”

Riley snorted. “Yeah, not talking about blowjobs with my sisters–or yours. I like Grace. While I’m glad she and Spencer are going to change the world with their computer program, I can see her teaching high school.

Don’t know what her mom was thinking, wanting her to teach kindergarten.

I’m envisioning the gamma danger reaction in that sort of environment. ”

“Oh shit, I didn’t even consider that,” I replied, thinking of the chaos small children could bring.

Riley gave her brother a look. “You know, I don’t care if you go in the bathroom and join the sky sex club or whatever. Don’t get blue balls on my account, you prudes.”

Wow, really? Usually, her favorite sport was cockblocking.

I howled with laughter. “Evan’s already part of the sky sex club.”

Evan’s hand went over his face. Yeah, this was too much fun.

“This is why I live at school.” She tackled me.

For a moment we grappled on the couch. Finally, she grabbed the remote and turned the movie back on.

I grabbed some more sodas and candy to try to keep Riley entertained so one of the alphas could sneak off with Evan and settle him.

My phone buzzed. It was Cam, from work, along with some information I’d requested.

Cam

You owe me so much.

Oh, I knew it. Between her and Lexi I’d had shifts covered, background checks pulled, and so many other little things.

But Grace was safe. And that was worth it.
