*Sia*

Leaving him in that state was killing me.

We were still here at the orphanage watching as families went around talking to the kids. After kissing the crap out of him and getting a major hard on I had to stop before it got out of control. Once I released his lips, he looked to damn tempting standing there in a complete daze, lips puffed and swollen from my own, hair a bit mussed and cheeks flushed.

I wanted to devour him right there on the floor and be damn on everyone else.

The lines were blurring faster than I would have ever thought possible. And I was sure I didn't care that they did. Looking at him so intoxicated that my kiss alone caused I was sure they were blurring for him too. Or that was just my wishful thinking that wasn't making me see reason.

There was no way he wasn't thinking about us still just being fuck buddies...right? I wasn't sure I was ready to find out still. I wanted this situation to last as long as possible before we were both forced to face the truth and facts of what was happening to our relationship. He hadn't said anything as I took a step back and cleared my throat. In fact, I'm pretty sure he would have allowed me to take his hand, march to one of the empty rooms and fuck the senses out of his brain in this very moment.

Thank goodness one of us had the sense to stay alert and composed. He was really making it difficult though. Does he even realize that some of his pheromones were leaking? That wasn't good, even though I loved the smell of them. It just made my dick harder as the scent wrapped around me like a glove, taking ownership where it belonged.

The thought made me sigh and close my eyes tightly for just a moment. Once I calmed myself down I gently take his shoulders and turn him back around right before giving him a little push, patting his sweet ass to get him moving.

"The kids need your support right now. We should focus on them, don't you think?" My voice was rough as I try to control it.

He only takes a few steps before the haze finally lifts enough for him to slightly turn back to look at me and ask, "Aren't you coming too?"

I nod, taking a step back. "In a moment. I need to uh, um..." I sway my hand at my crotch getting his understanding in an instant.

He makes a silent 'oh' face as it dawns on him. And then the ass had a shit eating grin with a devious sparkle in his eye. "Well then, I'll leave you to your problem." He huskily replies with a heated gaze.

I nearly groaned aloud, wanting more than anything to wipe that smirk off his face and show him exactly how I can take care of this 'problem'. He wasn't exactly off the hook either as I scan his body to where he was sporting a nice little bulge himself. I smirk in return just to see his face flush a deep red. Clearing his own voice he turns back around and stomps out of the building as if he had something to prove.

After a few minutes of thinking about anything other than the sexy ass that Cameron was, I finally was able to leave the building with no one the wiser. Cam was standing off to the side with London, who looked a bit put out once again. Seeing that none of the visitors were conversing with her I knew that it was another dud for adoption. However, she didn't look as depressed as I was afraid she was going to be.

And we all had Cameron to thank for that.

What he had said back there to her...looked like she was finally embracing that she was far more worth than what the world had handed her. Hopefully one day she would be able to love herself wholeheartedly than something that was left broken, never to be fixed again.

I start heading over in their direction when a little body slams right into me. Quickly looking down I see it was Mary. She wraps her arms around my leg and buries her face into my pants, her little body shaking. I frown, immediately knowing that something was wrong. Lifting her up into my arms I ask,

"Hey, you okay?"

Instantly she buries her face in the crook of my neck, squeezing her arms around me as she muffles, "There's a bad man here."

Her words caused my body to tense, and I became fully alert. I look around the grounds, but no one seemed to be paying attention as they conversed, laughed and tried to talk to a few shy children. Mrs. Lawson walked around checking on everywhere as she smiled and waved. It was like they weren't even aware of how Mary was reacting.

She was only four, but I've been around children long enough to know that when they didn't like someone there was a reason. Trying to get her to look at me I ask softly, "Where, sweetie? Who's the bad man?"

"He's on the other side of the wall." Was all she says, pointing in the direction of the entrance of the grounds.

Frowning deeper, I look just to see nothing. But then I feel it. The deep disturbing pheromones that were slowly seeping into the air around us. Quickly looking over at her my eyes widen that she could feel them at all. She hasn't presented yet and here she was already detecting them. Which meant one thing. She was a dominant. Whether it was Alpha or Omega, that couldn't be decipher until she was older.

"Okay. How about you go over with the other children, and I'll go check it out, alright." I quickly walk over to where there was a group of them watching and talking to some of the families.

Putting her down she jets to where Logan was and stuck to his side even though he was oblivious of her appearance. I try to brace myself, wondering what the fuck a man was doing on the other side of an orphanage and presenting his pheromones in such a way. But there was something about these pheromones that I recognized, and it got my instincts riled up.

Unconsciously looking for Cameron I see that London was now all alone, watching like the wallflower that she was. Alarm slams in me as I falter in my step. Where did he go? Swinging my gaze in all directions I realize he was no longer in the yard with everyone else. In fact, he was nowhere around at all. Wanting to search for him, maybe he went to the bathroom or something, I continue to head out of the gates to confront whoever was freaking out little miss Mary.

I'll have to look for Cam later only too come around the corner to see him standing there, angry pheromones coming off him in waves as he growls,

"Let go of me right now or I'll make you regret it Bret."
