Lena had only ever tried out for anything a handful of times in her life, and none of them happened to be contact sports. She was a pilgrim once in a third-grade play, much to her mother’s horror and protest, and in middle school, she had belonged to a special by-invitation-only chess team that required her to prove herself at matches. In high school, she had also participated in dance classes at the insistence of her terrible friends, who mocked her for lacking coordination and rhythm. Since that was the closest Lena ever came to taking part in sports, it was little wonder that she defaulted to something that resembled bad dance moves on the soccer field. It was all down to nerves, and she swung her arms around and executed a few maneuvers that made Kara stand with her hands on her hips and observe Lena’s warm-ups with what was no doubt secondhand embarrassment.

The logical thing to do wasn’t to stand there and preen, but Lena twirled a strand of her hair and then tripped face-first over a ball as she ran towards her roommate. She bounced off an omega cheerleader, stumbling instead of falling outright, and the stranger caught her under the arm with a laugh that made it very clear she found Lena’s clumsiness endearing.

“God, you’re cute,” the omega assessed, taking a full step back just to check Lena out and smile at her.

They were near enough the same height, and Lena straightened her spine to make herself appear taller.

“Too bad that won’t help me impress the coach,” Lena quipped, sharing a smile with the bright-eyed brunette, who rested her pompom on her hip to grin at her. “Sorry for almost knocking you over—”

“Yeah, you should really ask a girl out to dinner before you try to get her on her back,” The cheerleader laughed, tipping her head to the side as she watched Lena become flustered over the joke. “You might want to work on that.”

The flirting didn’t disturb Lena so much as how she blushed from it, and to top it off, the omega smelled nice.

After being stuck with alphas for the better part of two days, Lena reasoned the scent of the cheerleader was like a fresh breeze and it wasn’t her fault if she lingered to breathe it in for a moment.

“I’ll keep that in mind, but I’d better get back to try-outs or I’ll never make the team.”

“Well, you have my support,” The omega stated, her friendly demeanor and curious gaze working its way down Lena one more time before she retreated. “Hey, wait, what’s your name?”

“Why does it matter?” Lena asked. 

Her immediate defensiveness was perhaps the most alpha thing about her right then, but it was purely out of a misplaced fear that the omega had realized she was an imposter.

“I need it if I’m going to be cheering you on,” The omega called back, her amused grin lowering Lena’s paranoia by several levels.

“It’s Lena,” she shared, feeling immeasurable relief that she passed as an alpha after all.

“Good luck, Lena! Show them what you’ve got!” The cheerleader yelled and returned to her formation to jump and shout with the rest of her squad.

If I did that, I’d be removed from campus, Lena thought as she jogged off to intercept a ball from Kara.


The alpha was barreling towards her without any signs of slowing down, and Lena faltered at the last minute and dodged her roommate, who spun around to hip check her with a wild look in her eye.

“Well, what did she say, did she mention me?” Kara asked, forgetting the ball at her feet until Oliver yelled for it.

Lena took a swing at it, and Oliver looked just as surprised as she did when it landed at his feet instead of off the pitch like usual.

“Who?” Lena grunted, elbowing Kara in the side to get her to stop standing so distractingly close.


The sweat and pheromones were getting to her, and she could feel herself breathing heavier, and it wasn’t from exertion.

“Lucy!” Kara hissed, her head swinging in the cheerleader's direction.


It dawned on Lena far too late that she must have collided with Kara’s crush. Kara waved enthusiastically when Lucy shook her pom poms in their direction, mistaking the gesture as one for her.

“Ooh,” Lena muttered.


Fuck.

She took off down the pitch with an awareness of how Kara tailed after her and called over her shoulder, “We didn’t really get to talk. Focus on the game.”

It was remarkable how well Lena could perform when she was attempting to avoid Kara. She weaved through the other players and lined herself up in front of the goal without any active mental engagement.

By some accident, she arrived in the perfect location to score, and Oliver passed the ball back to her. As soon as Kara came to a stop beside her, Lena kicked the ball and it swished into the net.

Across the field, Lucy and the other cheerleaders whistled and shouted out her name, and the coach removed his sunglasses to look at her.

Kara gave her congratulatory pats on the shoulder, and Lena paused to push the hair out of her face and glance in Lucy’s direction.

“How does the whole squad know you already?” Kara marveled and jogged down the field at Lena’s side. “You move fast.”

“Not nearly fast enough,” Lena breathed in regret, since she couldn’t outpace Kara, even at her top speed.

They positioned themselves back at mid field and Lena made the mistake of staring too long at the cheerleaders while the coach spoke to a few of the players.

Kate came over to join her in admiring the cheerleader line-up. “Who is it that caught your eye, Luthor? You’d better not be checking out my Kit.”

“Excuse me?” Lena asked with a tone that implied Kate was deranged.

Kate gestured to the charcoal black and cherry red fox that blew kisses their way the second she waved. She puffed up proudly, boasting with pheromones and her tone as she stated, “I call her KitKat for short.”

Lena pulled her eyebrows together as she puzzled over how that was shorter than Kit. She groaned inwardly as she realized the mascot was named after an actual species of fox.


“Guess it’s better than Vixen,” Lena drawled, though the joke was lost on Kate, who just blinked in response.

“Kane! Luthor! Get your heads out of your asses and back in the game or get off my field!” Coach Edge snarled from the side of the pitch, and then pointed in the direction they should have been looking.

Barry rushed by them, and Lena took off down the field in pursuit while Kate flanked her, and Kara charged ahead to block his pass. Oliver tackled him and sent the ball rolling back in their direction. This time, Lena didn’t trip over it and managed to boot it over to Kate, who was remarkably fast footed and well-coordinated.

Kate maneuvered between players and sent the ball soaring towards Kara, who was tall enough to hit it with her head when she jumped for it. The ball flew through the air with other alphas all scrambling down the pitch after it, but it sailed straight past the goalie and into the net.

“Yesssss!” Kara yelled, turning to their team with her fists held high and a big, adorable grin on her face.

Lena was too weak not to return it, and she got caught up in the thrill of being part of a team victory. For a fraction of a second, she forgot she wasn’t one of them as they came together to let out celebratory roars.

The omegas cheered even louder, and Lena hoped it wouldn’t affect her ego as she inhaled all of the proud and aggressively dominant pheromones surrounding her. She postured along with all of the alphas, her chin held high and her shoulders squared, in spite of the shy way she glanced at Kara who, for the most part, was staring at Lucy.

“If you make it any more obvious, she’ll think you’re a stalker,” Lena griped, her chin jutting out in jealousy before she had the sense to control herself.

“I can’t help it, I mean, look at that smile,” Kara uttered defensively, her elbows swinging dangerously close to Lena’s as they jogged alongside one another. “I keep trying to visualize myself talking to her and my head just goes empty.”

“The only thing you should be thinking about is helping me get a spot on the team. We made a deal,” Lena stubbornly insisted as she tried to keep up with Kara.

If she wasn’t so filled with adrenaline, Lena might have already tapped out, but through sheer spiteful determination, she refused to slow down, even as her lungs and calves burned from exertion.

“Fine, but you need to follow my lead,” Kara shouted, finally focusing on the game instead of Lucy.


The posturing of earlier was nowhere to be seen as Kara took off down the field at a speed Lena couldn’t hope to match. The alpha ran circles around a few of the players, stealing the ball out from under someone’s feet to boot it to Lena with the expectation that she could handle herself.

She couldn’t, but she wasn’t about to let Kara or anyone else realize that as she hurried down the pitch with the ball.

Barry was close to stealing it when she made the choice to kick it over to Oliver. With some fast footwork, Oliver passed it over to Kate, who then sent it right back to Lena.

She wasn’t sure what possessed her when she took a swing at it with so much force she winced, but it was her only chance to try and score again. Lena wheezed as the ball smacked the goalie in the face.

The alpha grunted and stumbled backwards, missing the ball, which bounced off the post and then rolled into the back of the net. It was a fluke that she scored, but her team didn’t seem to care as they ran over to slap her on the back hard enough to wind her.

“Where was this energy the other day?” Kate asked, basking in their victory with a bright grin as she flipped off Barry, who ran by while glowering at them.

“Yeah, we thought you sucked,” Oliver laughed, unaware of how Lena grimaced at his harsh and accurate assessment of her skills.

Through accidental circumstances, Lena outperformed even some of the better players, and Kara kicked the ball to her at every opportunity to make her look good.

The one downside of showing off and securing a place on the team was that she would have to uphold her end of the bargain. Lena assured herself that she could handle the simple task of setting Kara up, given her insider knowledge of omegas and what most of them wanted in an alpha. She could and would set her bizarre attraction aside for the sake of her college education.

As their practice game ended and Lena stood huffing and puffing in the middle of the field, she observed Lucy in her natural surroundings. Lena was all ready to jog over and talk to her when the coach bellowed for her attention.

Coach Edge lifted his lip in a half sneer, half smile, and gritted his teeth together in an attempt at friendliness. “Luthor, you shocked the shit out of me. Do you have a twin sister? Because you ran like an omega yesterday, but now I can see you’re all alpha. You’ll be our new center forward. Welcome to the team.”

Lena swallowed down a touch of vomit that rolled up her throat at Edge’s words and put out her hand to shake his in a rough grip.

“I appreciate the warm welcome,” Lena uttered in the suspenseful panic and stepped backwards, lest her pheromones give her away.

Kara rushed up to clap her on the back in congratulations and the proud alpha stench guarded Lena against detection.

“Kara is our striker, as I’m sure you already know, and I’m naming her captain this year,” Edge announced and balled his fist like he already predicted their victories. “Kara, I’ll send you the final list of recruits tonight and you can post it up on the board in front of my office tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, sir,” Kara nodded and continued to grip onto Lena’s shoulders with a deep sigh of happiness after Edge walked off. “See? I knew you could do it.” She raised herself up a little higher on her feet and her grin widened even more.

They were standing close together, and before Lena remembered to move back, Kara must have sucked in a breath of her omega scent.

“Hey, is your girlfriend here today?” Kara jerked her head around in search of the mystery woman Lena made up. “Gosh, Lena, you smell really good—”

The impulse to react as a flattered omega resulted in a blush that was lost on Lena’s already sweaty face. She grunted in discomfort, not because it was odd to hear the compliment, but because it aroused her to know Kara was enticed by her scent and she was surrounded by far too many people for that.

“Shut up, I smell just as gross as you do, and who said I have a girlfriend?” Lena spat with enough aggression to make Kara step back. She kept her argumentative attitude and used the sharp jut of her jaw as a weapon to keep distance between them.

“Oh, I just—um—well I thought since you had an omega in our room that you were—you know.” Kara fumbled in her explanation, her face glowing with the heat of her embarrassment. She shrugged after a moment of awkward silence and Lena felt several shades of awful for the predicament she caused.

There was no point in behaving remorseful, though – not when she had to keep her cover, and that meant doubling down on how she assumed alphas might behave when they developed feelings.

“You need to learn that you can score on and off the field, Danvers,” Lena asserted with an arrogance that was shamefully all her own, despite the horrible things she said. She was cocky with her imaginary conquests and postured like she had the bragging rights of bedding several omegas.

It was all for show, and it would have been fine if she hadn’t thrown her hands up and walked backwards with a smugness that drew a few alphas’ eyes. In hindsight, it was probably the cheerleaders behind her that caught their attention, though Lena only realized they were there after she bumped into one of them.

Lucy’s familiar laugh put Lena’s faux bravado in check, and she spun around with apologetic eyes while the cheerleader quipped, “Twice in one day. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were trying to get my attention.”

“To be fair, I think you’ve got everyone’s here,” Lena uttered without thinking, not quite in jealousy so much as in awe. It took her brain a moment to realise what she had blurted and then she quickly clarified, “I’m surprised we all remembered how to kick the ball with you and your squad over there. I had no idea someone could be so flexible.”

Lucy appeared to be fighting more laughter, and the suggestive and delicate scent of her omega alluded to how she might want to demonstrate how flexible she could be in other ways. “Let’s hope the other team thinks the same when you play your first match of the season. Who knows, it might help you win.”

For a peculiar moment, Lena found herself flustered and nodding. “Well, your luck seemed to do the trick. I don’t know if you noticed, but I–”

“Oh, I noticed,” Lucy intoned, her dark eyes holding Lena’s until they dropped fleetingly to her lips and then flicked back up, “And between us, you definitely scored quite a few points.”

Lena understood implicitly that the points Lucy referred to were of attraction and not the game she had just played, and before she could properly process what was happening, Kara’s alpha stench enveloped her like a smothering blanket.

“Yeah, we’re a good team,” Kara laughed, mistaking the obvious flirtation as a simple compliment. She was so eager to talk to Lucy that she leaned heavily on Lena’s shoulder and practically crushed her under the weight of her arm.

Kara wore the dopiest of smiles and exuded friendly pheromones that reeked of desperation and awkwardness. Lena pitied her, even as she shrank several inches from the force of Kara’s forearm.

Lucy barely glanced at Kara, her eyes only landing on the alpha with a startled laugh before her friends started to call her over. In her distraction, she waved them off, and then extended an invite that Lena hadn’t been counting on. “A few of us are heading off campus to grab food at the Roulette Diner. Why don’t you and your friends join us?”

The impromptu invitation caught Lena off guard, and all she managed to croak out was, “I uh–-no—”

“We love friends!” Kara blurted, accepting on Lena’s behalf with the weirdest sentence Lena had ever heard. It disturbed her how alphas could say anything at all with unwavering confidence, even when it didn’t make sense.

“Great, we’re going to freshen up first so see you there. Let’s meet at seven?” Lucy stipulated and took Kara’s double thumbs up as an answer before running off to join her squad.

Whether or not she looked back, Lena would never know, because Kara bear hugged her so roughly that it lifted her off the ground. Lena whined as Kara swung her around in excitement, and then stumbled dizzily into Kate and Oliver as Kara dropped her to explain their plans.

All in all, Lena wasn’t sure what was worse — being shoehorned into the celebratory group as they all trudged off to the showers or having to listen to them all ramble about getting to hang out with the cheerleaders.

“Your worse than omega,” Lena stated as she tried to backtrack her way out of the changing room, only this time her efforts were thwarted by Oliver, who shoved her back inside.

“No skipping out this time. If one of us stinks, it’ll ruin our chances with all the cheerleaders,” Oliver insisted.

Lena grudgingly found herself a locker that she was content to fiddle with until Kate came over to assist her in opening it.

“You just turn the dial,” Kate instructed, then dropped her voice when Lena issued an offended scent that made her grimace. “Kara said you have some kind of skin disease–”

“Disorder,” Lena stressed under her breath in mortification.

“Whatever, the point is you’re nervous to get naked around us, but there’s like, a couple of stalls in the back with weaker water pressure that you could use, and then you won’t have to run off after our games. It’s only weird if you make it weird, you know?” Kate whispered.

Kate’s advice was sweet in a way and Lena re-evaluated her harsh criticisms of the alpha silently as she nodded her thanks.

Sucking up her fear, Lena stashed her shoes, socks, shirt and bra in the locker, and then wrapped her towel around herself without any plan to remove her shorts or any of the other items beneath them. She ventured into the showers with her eyes glued to the floor and was grateful that the overwhelming scent of body wash that assaulted her via the steam and not the stink of alpha pheromones.

The stalls were tucked to the back of the main showers, and Lena flung herself into the safety of the furthest one and yanked the cheap plastic covering closed.

Lena was tempted to just stand there, but then the thought of being half naked in a stall without getting clean seemed absurd. She hung her towel up to the side and rid herself of her shorts and everything else as carefully as possible, then let the hot spray relax her tense muscles.

It wasn’t the best shower, but it would do, and for ten blissful seconds, she thought she would be fine until the sound of someone pulling the shower curtain frightened the life out of her. She spun so fast she slipped into the side of her stall and grabbed at her curtain to steady herself as she gawked at Kara’s bare ass.

The alpha snuck into the stall across from her and Lena shook off the perverted idea of snooping until she noticed the clear silhouette of an erection behind the plastic curtain. Lena’s jaw dropped, and she slapped a hand across her mouth when she noticed Kara wrapping hers around her shaft. The sound of running water and alpha chatter would have cloaked the breathy moan that came from Kara, if not for the fact that Lena was spying on her, and she strained to listen to the slippery sound of her hand working over her cock.

Kara was in such a hurry to take care of herself that she didn’t seem to notice a few good inches of her curtain were left open, and Lena was ashamed by how she devoured the sight of her roommate pleasuring herself. She pressed her cheek into the cool wall of her stall to peek at the rigid girth and moaned quietly when she realized Kara’s fingers struggled to lock around her shaft.

God, she was more incredible than Lena imagined, and the defined and plump head was turning a vibrant shade of pink as Kara jerked herself furiously. She seemed to be concentrating her efforts on and around the tip, using her palm to rub over herself on every upward stroke.

Lena exhaled heavier and rubbed her thighs together to feel the natural lubrication of her cunt. She was reacting to Kara’s pleasure as if it were her own and her omega was dissatisfied that she wasn’t getting to feel the thick shaft rutting inside her. She didn’t want to take her eyes off the show, and blindly grabbed for the showerhead to free it from the wall. In her desperation, she almost dropped it, and the noise caused Kara to pause in her ministrations and turn.

“Keep going,” Lena whispered, pleading with the universe to just give her this visual so she could think about it the next time she needed to get off.

After a brief hesitation and glance around at the nearest stalls, Kara latched her hand back around her cock and stroked with more urgency. The dull large head of Kara’s erection was changing hue from pink to a deeper aroused red. Between the stimulating sights and all the muted sounds of Kara forcing her length through her tight fist, Lena groaned into her palm and positioned the showerhead between her legs.

Her clit throbbed in pleasure as the warm and consistent pressure coincided with Kara’s orgasm. Thick globs of seed shot from the tip and the intermittent spurts continued with Kara’s forceful handling of herself. Lena imagined feeling Kara’s seed against her and inside of her.

“That’s so hot, Kara, please don’t stop,” Lena whined, so immersed in observing that her omega convinced her to slide two fingers into her cunt.

She pretended that it was Kara inside of her and pushed in just to feel resistance of her tight inner clutches. Her walls responded with a gloss of arousal, much thicker than ever before, and Lena bit her lower lip as she rubbed into her favorite spot.

Lena timed her thrusts with Kara’s strokes, her fingers curling just enough to increase their friction. The hot spray against her clit had her pulsing inside, little twinges that tightened her slippery walls around her fingers. It was building her up for something far more powerful, and she silenced her groan of delight when Kara kept going.

She had heard rumors that alphas could have stamina like that, far better than their beta counterparts who allegedly finished after only one release. It simultaneously fascinated and turned Lena on to know that Kara’s sex drive called for at least two rounds, and she eased a third finger into her tight passage when she noticed Kara’s shaft had plumped up further.

She would struggle to take something that size, but in the heat of the moment Lena enjoyed the thought of Kara finding her like this in the shower—catching her spying and deciding to finish inside her warm and tight cunt.

Lena whimpered quietly, going knuckle deep to match the way Kara stroked from base to tip. She wished the pressure of the shower was stronger when Kara began to fuck her closed fist.

The sound of her cock pushing through her fingers was no filthier than the soapy sounds of other alphas in the middle of washing, and yet it sent tendrils of pleasure all through Lena’s core to hear it. If she shut her eyes, she could imagine it was the sound of Kara plunging into her, but she would rather risk getting soap in them than miss out on the sight of her muscled roommate getting off.

She was getting close, and so was Kara. Lena could tell from the rate of the alpha’s hand and how her hips bucked. Kara’s quads and ass tightened as she lunged into her own fist. The power she possessed would easily drill any omega into a mattress. Lena deliriously hoped it would be her and humped her hand harder, so that when Kara’s grunt of bliss preceded the sudden throb of her cock, Lena’s cunt went into extraordinary spasms.

Keeping her fingers deep, Lena imagined each hot spurt of seed emptying into her tight channel, and she sagged into her stall with a shaky breath when Kara rinsed the rest off her hand and then lathered up a sponge.

Lena afforded her the privacy of washing off, all the while consciously aware of how her cunt continued to contract as if protesting.

Obscene ideas of sleeping with her roommate were washed away along with Lena’s residual shame of intruding on something so private. She hurried to finish her shower and managed to get the hell out of the changing room before Kara emerged.

For the next twenty minutes, Lena paced around her dorm room under the pretense of getting ready when in reality she was trying to make sure the scent blockers and alpha cologne she wore wouldn’t fade and reveal how horny she still was to everyone around her. She might have entertained the idea of staying in for the night, except Kara appeared and her jovial smile couldn’t offset the fact that Lena had seen her masturbating.

“Hey, I’ve been looking for you. Everyone’s ready to head out. Are you coming?” Kara asked, not the least bit aware that Lena was fixated on the fact that she had watched her do that twice.

“I did,” Lena uttered, dragging her eyes up from Kara’s pants with a strange and high-pitched laugh. “I do, I mean yeah, let’s get out of here.”

It dawned on Lena all too late how weird it would be to sleep in the same room as the alpha after what she had done, and the thought of huffing her scent all night made Lena’s palms clammy and her pussy wet. She shoved past Kara to get into the hallway and gulped at the alpha infused air to drown out Kara’s particular scent.

Much as she wanted to avoid it for the rest of the night, Kara hurried along in step with her on the walk to the diner.

“So, go ahead, teach me what to do,” Kara urged with a smile and the earnestness of someone who had zero experience with omegas. “I was thinking maybe you should sit next to me and Lucy. That way if I mess up, you can jump into the conversation and get things back on track.”

With her mind still on what happened in the showers, Lena hadn’t the heart to refuse Kara. Even though she knew she was going to be trapped in the most uncomfortable situation of her life, she went along with the plan just because she hoped to make Kara happy.

Ten minutes later, she slid into a large booth where she would be sandwiched between Kara and Lucy. Other players from the soccer team followed, sitting interspersed with all the cheerleaders, and the only way out would be to ask several people to move.

“Right on time,” Lucy grinned and opened a menu that she offered to Lena. “You must have a big appetite after all of the running around you did today.”

“I’m going to order like three dinners,” Kara announced loudly and leaned forward to squint at the print. “I’m feeling a burger—no, wait—maybe the pizza. What are you getting?”

Lucy blinked at Kara for interrupting and shrugged. “I don’t know. The wraps here are pretty good.”

“Maybe I’ll get one of those.” Kara’s hyper enthusiasm gave her a jittery appearance, and she bounced her foot rapidly beneath the table, jostling Lena in the process from the momentum.

It was meant as a mercy when Lena slapped her hand on Kara’s thigh to still her nervous energy, and it wasn’t until she felt Kara go rigid with tension that she realized what she had done.

“We’re all starving, so why don’t we just order the special and split the cost? It means we can all try something different.”

The suggestion hadn’t been intended as suggestive, and yet the speed at which Lena snatched her hand back sent her leaning into Lucy, and she couldn’t help how she inhaled at the omega’s fresh and enticing scent.

“Yeah, I don’t mind sharing,” Kara announced over Lena’s shoulder, her normal musk amping up to try and get Lucy’s attention.

It certainly worked on Lena’s omega, and she shifted subtly as her inner walls clenched desperately around nothing. At this rate, she would be saturated in slick, so the sooner they got food, the better.

“I suppose I can be persuaded to experiment a little, but the chilli chicken wrap is all mine,” Lucy stipulated with a smile, and pressed herself into Lena to glance at the menu. “I think we should order extra dips, what about you?”

“Someone’s feeling saucy,” Lena quipped and quietly died inside at how ridiculous she sounded.

Lucy laughed regardless and didn’t seem to notice the cold sweat that covered Lena’s brow, but Kara did and unhelpfully handed her a napkin.

“For your face,” Kara stated, and gestured to Lena’s clammy complexion.

The alpha couldn’t seem to sit still, and every shift she made seemed to bring her even closer to Lena.

The heat of being trapped in the middle wasn’t as bad as the bombardment of heady alpha and sweet omega scents and it disturbed Lena to realize her omega must have been confusing the two. Every inhale spiked her adrenaline and Lena was sure she could feel her heartbeat when Lucy reached over her to grab a glass of water.

Their hands grazed each other’s, and Lena pulled back with a gasp as her skin tingled. She was overly sensitive, that was all, and she was adjusting to being around so many damn alphas.

Fortunately, a distraction arrived in a fur suit, and Lena peered across the booth to Kate, who puffed up and waved over Kit like she wasn’t greeting a six-foot mascot fox.

“I saved you a seat, babe,” Kate bragged, elbowing Oliver until he grudgingly squished himself closer to Barry, who in turn shoved up against Kara to make room for Kate’s girlfriend. “C’mon, we’re ordering the special.”

“Can she even eat in that?” Lena asked in a hush and squinted at Lucy like she would know better than anyone.

“Nope, but Kate still persists in sharing her food,” Kara piped in with a very judgmental glance in Kate’s direction, like she didn’t believe in wasting food on someone who wouldn’t appreciate eating it.

“It’s kind of weird, but they’re cute together, and you’ll get used to their dynamic,” Lucy insisted, and Lena followed her gaze to watch the chivalrous way Kate filled a glass of water and pushed it in front of Kit, who in turn placed her paw on Kate’s knee.

Lena tried not to gawk at that and leveled Lucy with a disbelieving squint. “Well, that depends, there’s a real omega in there, right? Like, you’ve actually seen her?”

“I don’t know you well enough to be spilling any secrets yet. Ask me again the next time we have dinner.” Lucy’s effortless flirtation was suave, and Lena couldn’t help but admire it as she bashfully laughed and dipped her chin to her chest.

“We totally will,” Kara grinned, missing the fact that she hadn’t been personally invited. The alpha slung her arm over Lena’s shoulder like she considered them a package deal, and Lena wondered how the hell she was going to survive one dinner, let alone another if it involved the two of them.
