“Show us what we’re working with here,” Kai says with a naughty grin and a challenging stare.

The intensity in their eyes sends a massive throb through my core. They’re complete strangers but my body is reacting to their every gesture. Pressing my thighs together, I try to quell the sudden hunger in my pussy.

The fragrance of sweet vanilla rises in the air, reminding me of a regular day at the bakery.It’s not the cakes, it’syou, I suddenly realize as my perfume clouds the room.

The men breathe in deep, their gazes darkening.

“What’re you waiting for, Winter?” Cole says in a deep, rumbling voice. “Let us see what you can do for us.”

I stare at him. The challenge in his eyes matches that of Kai’s. Were they trying to test whether I was really a hooker? If I don’t strip and act nonchalant, they’ll know I was up to some kind of trouble.

I can’t let them throw me out of their house or hand me over to the cops. Laura and Pete would take me home in the blink of an eye and I’d be in worse trouble. As long as they didn’t have me and my signatures, they couldn’t get away with selling the house orme.

I take a deep breath, steeling myself.

My body trembles as I drop Jacob’s coat off me. Next, I reach behind my dress.

Keeping my gaze on Cole who’s standing closest to me, I slowly pull down the zipper. My heart beats fast and my cheeks flame as I let the straps slide off my shoulders.

The dress falls off me, pooling around my feet. Standing there in nothing but my bra and panties, I can no longer look into Cole’s eyes as they darken with lust.

Kai moves close to me. One of his hands rests on my waist while the other touches my chin. He tips my face upward, so he can look into my eyes. The heat from his skin sears the spot where he touches me.

“You’re beautiful, Winter,” he says in a low, rough voice.

Something tightens deep within me. The omega within is enthralled by the strange alpha before me. His sweet citrusy fragrance hits me, fanning the inferno building in my core.

Shit!Kai’s pheromones are starting to affect me already.

I feel a wet, trickling sensation on my inner thigh.Oh no!I think with a rush of panic.Is my heat getting triggered by these alphas?

No, no, no!I can’t go into heat in front of these strangers.

Hatred rises deep within me as I think of Laura’s betrayal. How could she swap my medication like that?

Kai’s expression changes. Did he detect the fear and anger swirling within me?

Stepping away, he reaches into a wardrobe in the corner and brings out a thick towel.

“Bathroom’s that way,” he says, pointing to a closed door on the other side of the room.

Relief spreads through me as I reach for the towel. Cole and Jacob watch me but don’t make a move.

Clutching the towel to my chest, I hurry inside the bathroom.

Closing the door behind me, I lean against it heavily, hoping my heart would stop beating so hard. No one’s ever made me react to them this way. There’s something about Jacob, Cole, and Kai that makes me yearn for their touch.

I should be scared of the three strange alphas I’ve just met. Their dark gazes should alarm me, instead, I find myselflikingthe way they look at me.

Maybe it’s my rising hormones that are making me feel this way. Or maybe it’s something that I’m afraid to define just yet.

“I hate you so fucking much,” I hiss, thinking of my stepmother. She’s the reason I’m in this mess.

Swallowing my rage, I pull off my wet bra and panties. Breathing hard, I gaze around the room. The bathroom is clean and well-furnished with a porcelain white tub in the far corner and a separate shower cubicle.

Leaving my stuff on the floor, I step inside the glass chamber and close it shut behind me. Jets of steamy, hot water cascade down on me from four shower heads the moment I turn the knob.

For the moment, I’m lost in utter bliss as my body warms up after suffering in the cold. It’s a while before I’m able to bring myself to switch off the hot water.
