KACE
We spenta passionate week between the sheets, exploring each other’s bodies until we were both totally spent. My body ached all over, but it was a good feeling. No, scratch that—it was agreatfeeling. To finally connect with my mate like that? Nevin was definitely worth the wait.
I half-expected him to shy away again when his heat passed. I even mentally prepared myself for it, because I knew the hormones had taken the driver’s seat these last few days. Not that I was complaining, but I was ready for Nevin to backpedal and apologize for being a burden, or some other insecurity that had been beaten into him.
The thought made me angry. I wanted to kick the asses of every single Alpha who had ever laid a hand on my Omega, or otherwise made him feel unworthy and unwanted.
As I watched Nevin sleep, his face lax and peaceful, I swallowed back my growl. No. It was in the past. I couldn’t change it, but I could—and would—do everything within my power to make sure he realized that he was wanted and loved, from now until the end of our lives.
This was it for me. Nevin was my happily-ever-after and I wanted to make him the happiest Omega. If Nevin wanted babies, we would adopt unwanted shifter children for him to cuddle and love. I was willing to give him everything he wanted, and then some.
His pale lashes fluttered, and when he gazed back at me, his blue eyes were clear and bright. The lusty haze that had clouded them was all but gone, telling me that his heat had relinquished its hold on him. I bit my lip and grazed my fingers along his cheek.
“Good morning, beautiful.”
And god, the smile that stretched across his face was so damn gorgeous that my chest literally hurt. He giggled, but leaned his face into my hand, like a cat leaning into the touch of its master. I took that as a good sign, and pulled him in for a kiss.
When we broke apart, Nevin made a face. “I feel sticky and kind of disgusting…and I’m pretty sure there is cum crusted in my pubes.”
That made me laugh. “I think we could both use a shower after the last few days of fucking like bunnies.” I paused, biting my lip to try and hide a smile. “We could shower together and save water?”
His cheeks flushed pink, but he tossed the sheets back and rolled out of bed. I was on my feet in an instant, and it wasn’t long before we were standing together under the heavenly spray of hot water, making out like our lives depended on it.
“Kace,” he panted, pulling back when he realized my cock was pressing into his hip. He wrapped his fingers around my shaft, then lifted his gaze to mine. “How do you still have the energy to keep going? You’re like a horny teenager.”
I laughed softly. “Guess I’m making up for lost time.”
His lips curved into an almost-smirk. “I think I can take care of this.” He squeezed the tip of my dick and I groaned, one hand splayed over the damp shower wall to keep my balance. As much as I wanted him, something made me pause.
“You don’t have to,” I said softly.
“What?” He paused mid-stroke, his blue eyes surprised.
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to. You know that, right? I can take care of myself if you’re not feeling it. I don’t want you to ever think I expect sex from you.”
His expression softened. “Oh, Kace… Don’t worry. You’re nothing like them. I wouldn’t offer if I didn’t want to. Besides.” He raised a brow, then sank down onto his knees at the bottom of the tub, stroking me with one hand. “You blew me, but I haven’t gotten to taste you yet.”
A garbled moan escaped me as his lips curled around the tip of my cock, enveloping me in slick, wet heat. “Fuck.” He wasted no time, either. One minute he was sucking gently at my cockhead and the next, I was halfway down his throat and suddenly, I realized why my friends were so damn sex-driven. This felt amazing.
It was over all too soon. I came with a shout, the sound echoing off wet tile. Nevin continued to suck, swallowing down every last drop before popping off with a wet smacking sound. I gazed down at him, overcome with sensations and feelings and emotions that I couldn’t begin to put a name to.
He rose up to his full height, then kissed me, and I could taste the traces of my seed on his tongue. Why was that so hot? I chased the kiss and he giggled, but gently pushed at my shoulders. I pouted at him, which made his smile widen.
“You’re adorable, but I’d really like to get clean before the water runs cold.”
I made a face, but he had a point. “Fair. How about after, we go out to lunch? My treat.”
His expression brightened. “I definitely worked up an appetite.”
“Same.”
We took turns under the spray of water, washing our bodies as well as shampooing and conditioning our hair. By the time we stepped out onto the bath mat, we were both fresh and clean. I wrapped a towel around my body while Nevin dripped all over the floor, scrubbing his blond hair dry.
I studied him, my chest squeezing with emotion. He was so damn beautiful to me, and he had no idea. In time, I would show him. Maybe it was the lingering effects of lust talking, or perhaps I was just a hopeless romantic, but I could see myself falling so in love with this man.
“You’re making me self-conscious,” Nevin mumbled softly, wrapping the towel around his slim frame, as if me staring at his nude body was too much.
