Page 157 of His Surrogate Omega

“What is it?” Rohan asked.

His omega sighed. “Two things, actually.”

“Tell me.”

Gray turned to face him. “One… I’m not fully healed from the birth yet. We can’t have a full claiming,” he said, his voice low.

“And the other?”

“I want to be with you… but…” he lifted his stare and looked around. “This is Jamie’s house. The one you and he built together in hopes of a family. I suddenly feel out of place.”

Rohan smiled. “I have something to show you. Come with me.”

He led Gray down the twisting staircase and toward the back of the house. Once they were inside the sunroom, he flipped on the lights.

Gray gasped.

“This was Jamie’s idea. He asked me to get everything ready, but then before he could show you, the babes came early and then, he passed.” Rohan’s stare washed over the art equipment, and then he turned to a wide-eyed Gray. “Jamie wanted you to feel at home here. He even suggested you come live here much earlier than you did. He saw this as your home, with us.”

Gray met his stare.

Rohan turned to him. “If you trulywantto move, we can. I’ll sell this old place and buy you a home just as huge, with rooms we can one day fill with children.” He looked around. “But a part of me loves that he haunts these walls. I don’t want to forget him. He lives and breathes here still.”

Gray nodded, tears in his eyes. “He does.” He turned back to the studio they’d made for Gray. “I don’t want to leave him behind, either.”

Rohan cupped Gray’s cheek and pressed a gentle kiss to his omega’s lips. Gray kissed him back, hunger in the clench of his hands at Rohan’s shirt.

“Can we go back up? I want to hold you in my arms tonight,” Rohan said.

Gray nodded. He led Gray back up and spun to face him, stealing another kiss.

“I don’t want to wait. I want you to know how much I want your touch. How much I wish I was ready for your full claiming,” Gray murmured.

Rohan smiled and held the back of Gray’s head so he could claim a kiss. He drank from his omega’s mouth, greedy for those and nothing more.

“You’re not mad, are you?” Gray asked.

Rohan leaned in and kissed his omega again. “You gave me two beautiful children. Your body endured pain and trauma from that… how could I be mad?”

Gray sighed a little in what looked like relief.

“Just let me hold you in my arms tonight. We have forever for the rest of it,” Rohan whispered before kissing Gray again.

He wouldn’t make demands of his omega. He was a patient man, and could wait. Rohan wanted it right… wanted Gray to find ecstasy in their pairing, not pain. But hedidwant to see Gray’s naked body again, even if it would torture him until they could be together. Thoughts of his omega’s nakedness had tormented his dreams, and he had to learn the curves again and compare them to the memories he had.

Slowly, he began to undo the ties on Gray’s tunic, revealing an inch or so of skin with each one. Between each button, he stole another kiss until they were both breathless and shaking. He urged Gray toward the bed, dropping the tunic to the floor. His omega kicked off his shoes before Rohan lowered to his knees to peel Gray’s pants off.

Once naked, Rohan looked his fill. He urged Gray to turn so he could see it all. Slick coated Gray’s ass and inner thighs—and made it harder for Rohan to hold back. He leaned forward and trailed his tongue over it, tasting Gray’s juices.

His omega trembled in his hands. Gray’s knees nearly gave out, so Rohan urged him into the bed. He climbed in after his husband and laid himself between Gray’s thigh, licking more of the slick away before he crawled closer and licked the length of Gray’s hard cock.

A moan escaped his love before he took the head inside his mouth. More moans followed as he began to feast, swallowing Gray’s hard staff to the back of his throat and out again for his lips to graze over the plump head. Gray’s fingers slid through his hair, twisting in the strands, as he cried out with need.

Gray’s body tensed more with each lick, each caress, until finally, he came in a rush. Rohan swallowed Gray’s orgasm, loving the taste of his mate. When he’d licked Gray clean, his omega fell to the bed, boneless and writhing. Rohan smiled, pleased he’d helped his omega find release. He crawled up Gray’s body and wrapped his arms around his mate, loving he way their bodies fit together.

Gray brushed a hand through Rohan’s hair before cupping his chin. “That was… amazing. But then, I didn’t expect any less.”

Rohan kissed his lips, letting Gray taste some of his release. “Nor did I.”
