I didn’t need anything else. I’d been waiting all week for my Alpha to touch me or even just kiss me again, but he hadn’t. He would hug me back but never gave even a hint of wanting more.

I’d begun to think maybe we’d had a miscommunication about what seeing what we could be together meant, but the way he constantly looked after me? Bringing me food and rubbing my feet and moving furniture and then moving it back without complaint…

There was no way he’d do all that and not want me as his Omega. I’d been almost positive.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, strong arms slid around me, and huge hands smoothed over my belly, his erection pressing against me and answering once and for all whether he was attracted to me or not.

“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” Viktor asked, his voice low in my ear. “I promise I’ll be gentle.”

There was something in his tone that made me pause and turn around in his hold. I cupped the side of his face. “I know you will be. You’re always gentle with me.”

His lips twisted, and I thought he would say something, but instead, he dove down and pressed his lips to mine. He was so big compared to me, strong all over, that just kissing him was overwhelming, but in the best possible way. He flicked his tongue inside my mouth as his hands smoothed over my back, then down to my ass, and back up, his fingers threading through my hair as he held my head in place so he could devour me.

I gripped at his T-shirt, moaning low in the back of my throat as I tried to keep up. Somehow, without me even noticing, he had walked me backwards until we reached the end of the bed. When our mouths finally separated, we were both breathing hard, my whole body flushed with heat. I could feel how slick I was beginning to get, and I squirmed against him restlessly as he pressed open-mouthed kisses down the side of my throat, peeling aside the neckline of my shirt to bite softly at my collarbone.

“Viktor,” I gasped, arching against him and bumping him with my belly.

He laughed softly and pressed a kiss to the spot he had just bitten, gently patting over my distended stomach. “We’re going to be limited for a while on our positions,” he said in such a conversational tone it took my brain a moment to understand what he was talking about.

I licked my lips, glancing down and finding his heated eyes looking up at me as he knelt on the ground. There was a wicked smile on his face, and I was struck by the fact that I had ever found him scary-looking. He wasn’t traditionally handsome, but to me, he was gorgeous in his own unique way, drawing me in every time he smiled at me or frowned in concern. Every time henodded along when I asked him to do something ridiculous as my nesting instincts grew out of control.

“But after Little Bean joins us,” Viktor said, his voice lower and even more gravelly than usual as he lifted the hem of my shirt and exposed my belly, “we’ll be able to explore a lot more.”

He pressed a few kisses against the thin skin, smiling with wonder when a little foot protruded just above him.

“Cover your ears, Little Bean,” he mock-whispered. “You’re not going to want to hear this part.”

I laughed and covered my face. It was such a silly thing for him to say, and yet it just made me adore him more. There was no pretending I wasn’t weeks away from bursting forth a new life, so instead of awkwardly moving around it, he was embracing every part of my body.

Viktor climbed back to his feet and drew my shirt up over my head, tossing it aside, then clasping the sides of my face, kissing me once more, making me lose track of time and space. I was consumed by him: his earthy, Alpha scent, his calloused fingers, and the heavenly heat exuding from his huge frame. When his hands slid down the back of my sweats, one long finger slipping between my cheeks and encountering the wetness there, he groaned and ripped his mouth away.

“You’re already ready for me, aren’t you, my sweet Omega?”

I nodded furiously. I felt like I’d been edged by him all week, watching his big body move around my apartment, feeling his strong hands on my tired feet and not getting him to pay attention to the spots on my body I needed him the most.

“I’ve been ready,” I assured him, snagging my waistband and pushing down the sweats. They dropped to the floor, and I kicked them away, standing before my Alpha completely naked for the first time.

Viktor stepped back, his eyes running over my body appreciatively as he ripped off his own shirt, fumbling with thezipper on his jeans for a moment before he got it lowered. I smiled at his eagerness, letting it soothe away the tiny bit of worry that had lingered in the back of my mind. No matter how often I caught him staring at me or reminded myself that I was growing another person inside me and that wasbeautifuland amazing, there had been a tiny part of me that was still worried he wouldn’t like what he saw once my clothes came off.

He shucked his jeans and briefs, barely giving me a moment to take in the rigid lines of his abdomen and the tantalizing V that pointed down to the very large indicator of his arousal as he moved toward me. I swallowed, clenching my ass involuntarily at the sight of his cock. I’d only been with a handful of others, and he was by far the biggest. I ached to be filled by him, even as it scared me just a little.

His hands back on me, he kissed all over my face and down my neck, lingering at that sensitive spot where I hoped his teeth would go soon, marking me as his. I didn’t care that it was animalistic and archaic. I wanted to be able to walk around with pride, knowing that every person I encountered would know without a doubt I belonged to someone. Tohim. That I was protected and cared for.

He brushed a thumb over one of my engorged nipples, and I hissed, pleasure zinging through me at the light touch. He lifted his head and smirked down at me. “Are you always that sensitive?”

I shook my head. “No, definitely not.”

Grunting, he dipped back down, wasting no time and drawing my nipple into his mouth, teasing it with his lips and tongue, sucking gently and then a little harder as I keened and bowed backward. His fingers tugged my other one, then pinched before petting gently again.

I wasdrenchedwith slick, the scent of my arousal filling the air around us.

“I can’t wait until these are full of milk,” he murmured against my chest, switching to the other side and teasing me all over again. “I can’t wait to taste it.”

His words, the crassness of it, and the picture it painted in my mind had my knees weakening. My big, strong Alpha swept me up into his arms before my body could even consider falling to the ground in a heap of aroused goo.

Laying me on the bed, he quickly joined me, grabbing my hip and pulling me up onto my side so we were face-to-face once more. He kissed me for long moments, seemingly not in a hurry anymore. His hand trailed from my sensitive chest, over my belly and hip, and onto my back, creeping slowly downward until he pushed a finger down the crease, parting my cheeks until he reached my hole and rubbed it gently with that one fingertip.

I threw my leg over his hip, encouraging him to do more, to go deeper, to getinsideme in some way. I whimpered in the back of my throat when he just kept kissing me and circling the slickened opening. Just when I thought I was going to lose my mind, his hand disappeared, wedging between our bodies. He cupped my small Omega dick. I was a fraction of the size of him, but so sensitive, every square centimeter like a live wire. Pleasure rolled through me as he carefully traced the veins and the ridges of my capped head.
