Page 33 of His Captor

Except for those delicious times when I was Billy. Those days were long behind me now, though. My personality wasn’t going to change at all, but Simon was right about getting serious in some ways. That’s why I’d deleted my Dark Fantasies Club app. I couldn’t very well run off for a kidnapping fantasy with an infant at home who needed me.

We reached my building, and Simon hugged me goodbye before watching to make certain I made it into the high-rise office building okay. I shook my head and grinned at his protectiveness. That’s what older brothers were for, after all. Even if they were also omegas. Omegas who really needed to get kinky and get laid so their holes didn’t dry up and seal themselves off.

I waddled my way to the elevator, happy that one of the alphas who worked a few floors down from me held the door. He checked me out as he did, which I found flattering. He was a nice guy. We’d had a few elevator conversations. He knew I was single, and I was waiting for the day when he worked up the courage to ask me out.

Not that I’d say yes. I mean, he was cute and all, but he wasn’t Ace.

I sighed as the elevator whooshed up and rubbed my belly absently. Was I going to go my entire life missing the man who had rocked my world, anonymously, for three days, put a baby in me, and spoiled me for other alpha cocks forever?

Probably.

By the time I stepped out onto the floor with Canton Enterprises’ office, Junior was squirming, Ireallyneeded to pee, and my chest was itchy. Instead of heading straight to my double-wide cube at the back of the office, near the executive suite, I detoured to the restroom.

My thoughts were scattered as I emptied my bladder. I took a few second of my private time in the stall to massage mygrowing chest. Maybe Junior was on his way sooner rather than later. I could safely say that I had boobs now, and they were even starting to leak milk now and then. Apparently that was something that happened to male omegas as the rush of hormones needed to produce milk to feed a baby kicked in before the baby was born. I’d had to start wearing a bra, for Christ’s sake. One with nipple shields.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t be playing around with dark fantasies in this state. Although I bet there were a ton of horny alphas with pregnancy and lactation fetishes out there.

“Why do the last few weeks of pregnancy have to be so uncomfortable?” I asked, Chaz, the older omega who happened to be washing his hands in the sink next to me when I was done in the stall.

Chaz laughed. “I don’t know. I was so miserable during the last few weeks for all three of my kids.”

We exchanged knowing grins. I was surprised and happy that Canton Enterprises would hire a slightly older omega who had school-aged kids for their IT department. So many places wouldn’t hire omegas at all, let alone those with kids.

Before my thoughts could spin too far out in that direction, as we stood around the paper towel dispenser, Chaz said, “Have you met Mr. Canton yet?”

My brow went up. “No! Is he here already?”

“Yep.” Chaz nodded. “He got here about an hour ago.”

“I’d just left for lunch,” I said. Sudden anxiety reached up and took me by surprise. “How is he? What do you think? Is the honeymoon over or is the boss cool after all?”

Chaz grinned. “Don’t worry, he seems really fair.”

We headed for the door, and I sent Chaz a sideways look. “Fair? As in really tough and we’ll be chained to our cubes, but at least there will be snacks in the breakroom fair?”

That made Chaz laugh as we returned to the main part of the office. “We’ll be fine,” he said.

It was probably silly, but I slowed my steps as we traveled back through the cube field towards our desks. Mine was all the way at the other side of the office, so I did my best to talk to everyone I could along the way.

I liked my coworkers. Some of them were from the West Coast and had worked for the previous company that the boss, Mr. Mason Canton, had owned. The fact that the previous company had been located in Port Lucia had just been another tick in the “pros” column when I’d been deciding whether to take the job offer. Port Lucia would forever give me good vibes.

I couldn’t delay the inevitable forever, though.

“Ooh, Hayden, there you are,” Rachel caught me as I walked past her office.

She got up from her desk and came out of the office to greet me. I hoped that was a good sign.

“I heard the boss is finally here,” I said with a smile, hiding my anxiety.

“Yep. He’s here at last,” she said, marching forward with excitement. “Come on. I’ll introduce you. Don’t worry, you’ll love him.”

I gulped in a breath and rested a hand on my belly. Junior seemed as jittery about the meeting as I was. He wriggled and pushed against me, like he was ready to get out.

Wouldn’t that just be great? I joked about Simon having to deliver my baby on the street at lunch, but how weird would it be if the second I went into labor, my new boss would have to deliver my baby on the floor of his?—

I smelled his scent before we’d made it all the way to the office. Summer days and old books. No one else I’d ever stumbled across had smelled quite like that. My heart sped up like I was bouncing hard on an alpha cock even before Rachelstepped into the open office doorway and said, “Mr. Canton, I’d like to introduce you to our office manager, Hayden Kipling.”

I knew what I would see as soon as I walked through the door, but I wasn’t ready for the full impact of Ace in a suit, behind the fancy, mahogany desk I’d ordered to decorate his office, reaching up for something on one of the shelves. I’d ordered those shelves, and then put together myself at the beginning of my second week in the office. Ace’s suit jacket was hung over the back of the office chair I’d bought because I thought it looked like a throne. All of that meant I had a delicious view of my alpha’s tight ass as he reached up.
