*Cameron*

"You've been zoning out a lot lately."

I snap to attention when the words finally soak into my brain, and I look to Tristan slouching on his living room couch. Absently rubbing his protruding belly he winces when a sharp movement causes his body to slightly jerk.

"Better than what you're going through." I watch as he uses the heal of his palm to push on the side of his ribs as he sighs deeply.

"The more time passes, the more uncomfortable I become. This baby is driving me insane and needs to hurry up and come out already." He pouts adorably.

I couldn't help smiling at him. I would never tell or show him how much I wish I could be in his shoes, to one day be in his shoes. I would embrace all the discomforts of the world if it would grant me the one thing I crave most. But that's not his problem or his worry. I didn't want him to feel guilty on something he had no cause to feel guilty on. I know it bothers him most times to talk about his pregnancy, but I want him to be happy about it not sad because of me.

"You still have about a month before that baby needs to be born so for the sake of your growing child, withstand as much as you can." I point out watching him wiggle around in his seat trying to get comfortable.

"Ugh. They're only going to get bigger and cause me even more discomfort. I constantly feel like I have to pee, knowing that more than half the time nothing comes out, I'm always hungry and I can never get proper sleep because this big belly of mine won't let me. And tell me why this child of Axel's decides it wants to be most active when I'm trying to sleep?"

My grin spreads wider as he only ever refers the child Axel's when they're doing something he doesn't like. Which lately has been quite often the closer he gets to his due date. He sits up and starts rubbing his lower back heaving a huge dramatic sigh like nothing ever goes his way.

"Any news on the Han case?" I ask carefully, knowing he was a bit sensitive on the subject. Especially after what had happened to him, Axel and Andi. I wouldn't blame him if he never wanted to talk about it ever again.

His shoulders slump as his face twists in disgust for a moment. "The hearing isn't until another two months. They've been prolonging it because of all the charges that is still being racked up against him. Lincoln wants the lawyers to grab every evidence they could against the other companies that have been in full support of Han. It's going to take a while."

He sounded a bit sad which I understood. Axel was gone more than he was present because of everything that was happening at the Nolan company and plantation. Lincoln was in full control now and Axel was helping him gutter out all the bad apples that were still employed by Han. Most of them ran off as soon as they found out that he had been arrested and Lincoln became the sole heir to the company, even though he proved he wasn't biologically Han's son.

No one knew of that other than our very small group of me, Tristan, Axel, Andi, Thomas and Sia. It was a die hard secret that we all needed to keep a hush on so Lincoln could legally hold all assets. Han won't say a word according to Axel because something Lincoln had said to the hateful cruel man made him completely shut his mouth for good. No one knew what kind of major dirt he had on him but whatever it was it scared Han enough to keep silent.

His cellphone, that was lying on the coffee table in front of him, suddenly started ringing making him lean over as best as he could in quick fashion to see who it was. When he reads the name his shoulders slump again, but his face beamed as he quickly answered. Slouching back against the couch he starts to absently rubbing his belly again.

"Hey Sia." He sighs heavily.

My entire body flushes in heat hearing the name. I couldn't help it; it was now an automatic reaction when it come to his cousin. A cousin that did wonderful sinful things to my person. Its been a few weeks since we made that pact, and I haven't regretted it once. I already lost count on how many times we've done it. It was supposed to be only when I was in heat, but my body decided it had other plans when it came to the tall, gorgeous Alpha that gave the best sex I ever had. He never failed to make sure I was thoroughly satisfied before seeking his own pleasure.

I've never had someone be so tentative with me before and I was highly getting addicted to it. In the beginning I tried my best to curb the lust filled thoughts and urges at bay, but Sia always knew, I don't know how, but he did. And not once did he allow me to go home in a state of frustrated sexual arousal. He made sure he gave me what I craved for. I should be embarrassed, but I wasn't. We practically did it anywhere. The breakroom when we were to lock up and everyone else had gone home on the days I covered for night shift. In my car, in his car. My apartment, his apartment. Hell we even got down and dirty here in this very house I was currently sitting in.

But I would never tell Tristan or Axel that. They probably would kill the both of us, well maybe just Axel. Tristan was too good and kind to ever do something like that. And we never did it again here since it took everything we could think of to get rid of our pheromones I was sure reeked of sex. Axel had a nose like a goddamn hound. Thank goodness we did a good job cause he never took notice.

"Just me and Cam. Andi said he was going to stop by later with Shiri." He looks over to me and frowns. "I don't know, normally he stays for the whole day why do you ask?"

I couldn't help perking up at them talking about me, but still pretending to hate him I raise an eyebrow giving a condescending look in his direction. I roll my eyes like I couldn't stand that he would have a problem me being here at all. It was getting harder and harder to pretend though. Especially when all I wanted to do in his presence was attack his lips.

"Okay see you soon." He then hangs up the phone and slips it back on the table. "Sia is heading over so be warned."

A little jump to my heart beats within my chest and I try to squish it down without him noticing. Instead I sigh dramatically. "If only you weren't cousins." I mumble like it was a hindrance they were related.

He chuckles. "Come on he isn't that bad. Eventually one day the two of you will finally get along. With you as the Godfather and him the uncle you'll both unfortunately will always be in each other's lives."

That required another eye roll but hearing him say it like that causes a warmth to spread through my body instead. I knew I was on dangerous grounds, and I should think about calling it quits before it got any worse.

But I couldn't. I wasn't ready for any of this to end. Maybe just a little longer wouldn't hurt. I'll definitely stop it before it becomes too late, for sure. But right now I liked the way I was feeling, liked that his attention was on me in the best ways. Yeah, definitely not ready for it to end anytime soon.

The television suddenly grabs both of our attention as the news came on. "This afternoon we bring you updating news on what people are referring to as the Knock up rapist as he attacks yet again. The young victim was walking home from her overnight job when she was suddenly attacked right on the street and then dragged to a nearby ally where the suspect emersed his pheromones while injecting her with a heat enhancer. With no way to fight back from the overwhelming chemicals she unfortunately fell as the next victim of a brutal nonconsensual sexual attack that again left no traces of the suspect in question other than the DNA that he leaves behind proving it was the same attacker from previous samples of the other victims.

But the DNA is futile in the case due to no evidence in the database of law enforcement or any hospital records that could be found. This is the seventh victim up to date. Whether or not she was unfortunate to become pregnant from this attack as five others have is still too early to report. They are still on the lookout for the suspect and inquire Omegas to never travel alone, especially at night, to have some sort of protection on hand at all times, call a friend or family member when leaving any establishment. The police are trying their very best to capture the culprit but with no leads it's proving to be difficult and with this new development others are rallying to take things into their own hands which could cause the situation to become much more worse. We will keep you updated on any further news of this subject."

"I'm worried." Tristan sadly states making me look over back to him. He was looking at me now. "Cameron, the attacks are happening near the places you frequent in the city. I just worry whenever you go out on those nights that no one is with you."

I haven't told him that I haven't gone to those places for quite some time so there wasn't really anything to worry about. But he can't know that, not while I was in this deal with Sia. I just give him a weak smile, reaching over to him to pat his leg.

"Don't worry, okay. I'm being extra careful, and I no longer go alone. I have other friends in the city that group with me. In fact, if it makes you feel any better I'll stop going for a little while, take a break from going out."

He perks up at that. "I'm not trying to make you stop having fun or anything. Just until they catch the man."

I give a big smile and scoot closer to him where we were now hip to hip, placing an arm around his shoulders and gently saying, "I promise I won't go anywhere near those areas. I'll be fine, Tris. You don't have to worry, okay."

He nods his head in satisfaction, and I do everything in my power to make sure I don't show him exactly how terrified I was about the horrible man who was out there hunting down Omegas for sexual sport.
