“No.”

“Why not?” I whisper sleepily.

“Because I couldn’t sleep until you knew.”

“Knew what?” My eyes slowly open.

“That you will never have a heat like that. With us, you will be treated like nothing but a queen. Our goal is your pleasure, and your pleasure only. What we feel is just a bonus. We will go until we have nothing left and then keep going because unless you're satisfied, we’re not done with our job. No pain, Savvy, only pleasure. That's how your heats will be for the rest of your life. Praise, pleasure, and love. That's the only thing we know how to do when it comes to you.”

I’ve never heard someone speak with so much earnestness in my life.

My eyes close again as I swallow down the sob that threatened to slip free. He waits patiently, his thumb rubbing soothing circles on my cheek.

“I can’t wait,” I tell him. For the first time in my life, I’m truly excited to have a heat.

And unlike the past, this time, I want to remember every single moment. But I know that might not happen. Omegas often get lost in their heats and only remember bits and pieces.

“Leroy?”

“Yes, Little Omega?” I smile at the use of that nickname. It’s one they don’t use often, but one I like.

“Can you record it?”

“If that's what you want. Of course.”

“Thank you,” I whisper, shifting closer so he can pull me into his arms.

Part of me wants to watch it later so I can try to remember as much as I can.

The other part wants to see what it's supposed to look like when an Alpha takes an Omega. The love. The want. The trust. The connection.

“One day you’ll know, Savvy.” Leroy kisses the top of my head.

“Know what?”

“That you already own our hearts and souls. But we will also give you the world. You don’t even have to ask.”
