Today, for Teaser Tuesday, I wanted to reveal a little more about Beta’s Surrender, the third book in the Irresistible Omegas series. As you may know, the three main characters are Sven and Lars (who are already lovers) and Grayson, an older alpha. But the question is: how do these three fit together? What do Sven and Lars need from Grayson?
Here’s a little snippet from a scene (unedited) where Grayson asks Palani for permission to pursue Sven specifically, since he’s an omega…and where things start to become clear.
“When Lidon officially announced the pack, we agreed to ask for permission when we wanted to pursue an omega, and you were appointed our go-to guy, so… I’m asking for permission.”
Palani cocked his head as Vieno placed a cup of steaming hot coffee in front of Grayson. “Just out of curiosity, is it hard for you as an alpha and an older one at that, to come to me, a beta, for shit like this?”
Grayson picked up on the genuine curiosity in that question, and he considered it for a moment. His alpha was quiet, but signaling his approval with the step Grayson was taking. He wanted Lars and Sven, and he was okay with jumping through whatever hoops needed to achieve that result.
“Not really, no. I think it’s because you’re doing an excellent job as a beta…and because I can sense you operate with your alpha’s power behind you. There’s no denying the authority you have, but you don’t try to rub it in, you know?”
Palani’s face broke open in a smile. “Thank you. That’s a big compliment and it reassures me. I wasn’t sure if you alphas had to, like, force yourself to respect my position. I would’ve hated it had that been the case.”
Grayson nodded, then waited, but Palani didn’t say anything.
“Erm, any chance I could actually get an answer to my question?” he asked.
“Yeah, shit, sorry. I assumed you knew my answer, but yes, you can pursue Sven. And Lars, because they’re kind of two for the price of one, right?”
Grayson’s insides flooded with relief. Not that he had expected anything else, but it was good to hear Palani say it. But he wasn’t done yet. “Thank you. And yes, it’s both. Obviously. But…”
He’d thought long and hard about this, but it had to be brought in the open, otherwise it would never work. If others didn’t know, they could try to step in, and that would allow Lars to play them against each other. No, it needed to be one united front with Grayson as the only one responsible for Lars.
Palani studied him with patient eyes, waiting for Grayson to voice his thoughts. “My relationship with them is not exactly conventional. Or it won’t be. And I need your okay on that as well…and your promise you’ll inform everyone else that they’re both off limits, Lars especially.”
Palani’s eyes narrowed. “Define unconventional. Are you talking about the age difference? Because that’s—”
“No. That bothers me, I don’t deny it, but that’s not it.” Damn, for a writer he was woefully bad at explaining this. “Sven and Lars, they need something from me beyond a traditional boyfriend, even a traditional alpha-beta and alpha-omega relationship.”
“Dude, you’re gonna have to use more words, because I’m flying blind here. What are we talking about? You tie them up? Spank them? Handcuff them to your bed and make them serve you, what?”
Grayson had to swallow back the flood of vivid images those words painted, and he felt his cheeks heat up, which rarely happened.
“Oh my, baby, you’re on the right track,” Vieno said, lowering himself on Palani’s lap to join the conversation. “Look at him, he’s blushing.”
omg, thank you so much for the teaser! I am SO looking forward to reading this! I think I am going to reread the first and second books, just to satisfy (temporary) the hunger for the third ;D
Thank you so much for this series, it’s incredibly amazing! <3
Thank you so much! I can’t wait for you guys to read this book. they’re so perfect together, these three…
Omg this is so good. I can’t wait to dive into this series.
You’ll love it, I promise!
OMGosh! I so can not wait. Totally love this series xo
Yay, thank you so much! Just a little while longer…
Oh Nora you WONDERFUL, AWESOME writer. I really can’t wait for your next book, NO really I can’t WAIT!!!! Do we have a date yet? Thank you THANK YOU
Haha, thank you! No date yet, but it looks to be the end of July.
Oh … My … Freaking … !!! You are so evil! lol That teaser is so amazing and I can’t wait to see how Grayson is going to address the concept of being “daddy” to Lars and Sven to the others in the house. Given their own paternal figure, I can totally see how the two of them could respond to someone authoritative but who also has their best interests at heart. Add to that the sexual aspect and this is going to be another scorcher book! I can’t wait!!
Hi Nora, Love your cover, it’s as good as the 1st two. Can’t wait until this new book comes out. I love Daddy kink, so fingers crossed that it will be as blisteringly good as your other books. Cheers from Down Under!
Holy shitballs. I need this story like I need air. Soooo excited!!!!!!
Yay, me too! Can’t wait to share this story with you all…
Hi Nora,
I really loved your first two books so I am a bit shocked right now about the third book of this series. I felt that the original four’s story isn’t completed yet. They only got their HFN but not HEA.
I was looking forward to these three as a spinoff series; I didn’t think they would be the focus so soon. I am truly wondering how this will play out with the original group since there’s still that looming danger on them?
Don’t get me wrong, I would still buy the third book. I’m just a bit worry about how the stories will be coherent.
No worries, the bigger story and plot will still continue in book three, including our four original men. We’ll check in with them regularly and see how they doing…while following these new three in their love story!
