Lucas licked his lips. “I don't want to lie any longer,” he said then, meeting my eyes with a determination in his that left me with no doubt that he meant what he said.
“You want to come out?” I asked. “As omega? Are you sure about that?”
“I've thought about it for a long time. It's not just that I don't want to lie anymore. I don't want to make you lie. I don’t want to put this burden on our baby either. Can you even imagine? Telling them that they have to lie about who their parents are? What would that teach our kid?” Lucas got increasingly agitated as he spoke. I reached out to lay a hand on his shoulder, hoping I could get him to calm down a notch, even thought this was a very emotional topic.
“We don't have to teach our kid anything you don't want to,” I reassured him. “If you want your omega status to remain a secret—”
“No,” Lucas shook his head. “There's no good way to do it. I've thought about it a lot.”
“What about your life plans?” I asked. Part of me wanted the secret to be lifted, yes. I wanted everyone to know the omega I'd claimed for who he was. I wanted to tell people about the child I'd fathered. But Ididn'twant Lucas to feel like he had to give up on his dreams.
“It's going to be fine,” Lucas said. “I mean, it's not going to be easy, but neither was hiding, you know?” He gave me a smile that was obviously meant to convince me. But maybe there was more to it too? He did seem happier now.Lighterin a way. As if trying to keep his secret had been like a ton of cement chained to his neck and he'd finally broken free of that weight. It was good to see him like that. “Trust me,” Lucas continued. “I don't do anything without thinking it through. Well, except for you, I guess. I did you without thinking it through.” He chuckled.
“I'm so honored to be the one stupid thing you did.”
“You're not stupid.” Lucas closed his hands behind my neck and drew me closer. “I don't regret what I did, you know? Not anymore. From now on, I'm only going to look forward, and I'm looking forward to a life with you by my side. You and our baby.”
“What about your law career?” I asked.
Lucas' eyes narrowed in determination. “I'll still pursue my law career and I'll still fight for omega rights. That's non-negotiable. I've thought about it. It's going to be a struggle to be taken seriously as an omega, but if I can do it, wouldn't that motivate even more omegas to get active and to fight for their right to be heard? That's what I'm going to argue on my scholarship application anyway.”
“Your scholarship application?”
“You know I'm going to lose the one I'm on, but I've done some research and there's a couple of scholarships for omegas that I'm going to try for.”
“You've got a whole new five-year plan already, don't you?” I said in awe of my partner. How had I ended up with someone as smart and resourceful as Lucas? Every day, he found some new way to impress me.
“I've had a lot of time,” he said as if it was no big deal. “I've set up an appointment too.”
“An appointment?”
A mischievous glint sparkled in Lucas' eyes. “You want to know what we're having, don't you?”
My mouth fell open. “You mean...”
“Yup, we're going to see a doctor on Monday and find out.”
I didn't have the words to respond to news like that, so I simply wrapped my arms around Lucas and kissed him. He didn't seem to mind the way I expressed my feelings, leaning into the kiss with his whole body. He'd missed me too, hadn't he?
After a moment, he broke away, but the smile he wore on his face as he did so was lascivious.
“Wanna take this to the bedroom?”
I didn't need to be asked twice. I'd been looking forward to this moment forever, and since I'd stayed here before, it was easy for me to take Lucas by the hand and lead him to his room. Unlike my bed in our dorm room, his was free of dirty laundry or other shit that could have slowed us down.
Of course it was. Lucas was a tidy person. So unlike me in so many ways, and yet perfect for me in all the ways that mattered. I liked to think that we completed each other. He liked things to be in perfect order and I prepared him for all the times that life could be chaotic. Preferably by getting messy with him.
Once we stood in front of Lucas' bed, it took us no longer than a minute to undress each other.
Sometimes we liked to watch each other as we got naked, but not today. We'd waited too long for this chance to be together again. Besides, I needed to show Lucas how much I loved him in this moment as he embraced his uncertain future for the sake of our family. Words weren't enough to do that. I wasn't good with words the way he was.
What Iwasgood at?
Pressing him into the sheets and enveloping his body with mine. Showering his skin with kisses.
Making him squirm as I licked the sensitive skin beneath his balls, and getting him to gasp my name as I took him into my mouth. If my lips hadn't been stretched by his cock, I would have laughed. Lucas hardened so quickly it was obvious he'd taken our separation about as well as I had. But that was over. From now on, we would stick together—and I was going to enjoy taking care of his needs.
Taking him deeper into my mouth, I glanced up at him. My omega was so gorgeous laying in front of my like this. His lips parted, his legs spread wide and his belly round with my child. The sight was enough to make my own cock twitch. God, I wanted him in the worst way. I loved this omega. No, this man. I lovedLucas, no matter his genes. And I loved the gift he was giving me.
