“Are you coming?” Klane asked, standing at the door.

When did he get over there? Holi asked himself, looking from the beta to the serving bot next to him.

“Holi?”

“What?”

“Are you coming? Master Xaine requested you join him for breakfast,” Klane said. “We should get going. He doesn’t like to be kept waiting.”

“Yes, of course,” Holi said.

Klane turned and walked out of the cooking station. Holi followed him to a small dining room with a table in the middle and a settee next to a large window. Xaine was already there talking to someone on his connector.

Dressed in a long black shirt and matching pants, the alpha looked intimidating and larger than life. Nothing like he was last night. Or maybe he was the same, Holi was just too horny last night to care. Xaine stared at him for a second before he turned away to continue with his conversation.

Holi shivered.

Fuck, he was hopeless. Holi shook his head and brought the serving bot closer to the table.

“I was going to do that,” Klane said. Holi ignored him and continued with setting the table.

“Its fine. I’m going to need that bodysuit I saw the maids wearing,” Holi told the beta.

“For what?” Klane asked in a whisper.

Holi frowned. “To work.”

“You don’t have to do that,” Xaine said, sounding too close for comfort. Holi looked over his shoulder to find the alpha a foot away. Xaine’s eyes crawled down Holi’s body appreciatively. “You’re my service omega. You should concentrate on that.”

Holi flushed. Instead of giving into his embarrassment, he balled his hands and faced the Xaine. “A year is a long time to spend doing nothing but having sex,” he said. “I want something to do than wait for you in bed like some sex slave.”

“And I want you ready whenever I need you,” Xaine bit back, the gold in his eyes shimmering. Holi’s stomach squeezed as the need to submit gripped him.

No. Holi shoved away the feeling.

In bed, he’ll submit to the alpha, but not here.

“There are omegas out there who manage their households and please their alphas at the same time. I’m sure I can manage,” Holi said, proudly, then winced when he realized what he’d just said. The room fell deathly silent.

Dammit.

Holi looked up to find Xaine staring at him. A strange look in his eyes.

Klane cleared his throat and excused himself, leaving them alone. Xaine closed the gap between them.

“I…” Holi tried to think of something to say to take back his words, “meant that as an example, because omegas…”

“Shh,” Xaine said, pulling Holi into his arms. He rumbled. The sound animalistic – primal.

And hot as fuck.

Holi whined, leaning into Xaine, head tilted to the side to expose his neck in submission. Xaine kissed the side of his neck, biting lightly into his skin. But Holi wanted more. He wanted to feel Xaine’s teeth deep inside his flesh, leaving a mark there. Holi’s skin tingled in anticipation.

“Harder,” Holi begged needily, arms wrapped tightly around the alpha. Holi moaned, desperately wanting Xaine to leave a claiming mark on his neck. He wanted it desperately. The feeling wound around him, making him whiny and needy. He wanted it. Why wasn’t he giving it to him?

“Fuck,” Xaine groaned. A jolt went through Holi, and he realized what he was doing.

What the fuck? What was wrong with him?
