I'd truly come clean now, hadn't I? Aaron could see me as I was, with all my baggage, and he wasn't running the other way. I couldn't even remember the last time I'd felt this light, almost as if I could open a window and float away with the next gust of wind. "I've actually thought about getting a tattoo," I admitted.
"You have?"
"Yeah, Raph suggested it to me way back when he was still helping me get my feet under me. I'm sure he'd give me a discount too, but I don't want to rely on his kindness any longer and I really can't afford spending money on things like body art right now. Maybe someday when the kids are grown." That was a long way away, but I didn't mind too much. My life was already way better than it had been only a few years ago.
"I think you should go for it, if it would make you happy."
I grinned at my alpha. "I think I already told you what would make me happy right now."
Aaron gave an amused huff. "Okay, if you're really sure that's what you want."
"Don't make me beg." I teased my fingers along the lines of my alpha's crotch, feeling his bulge underneath his clothes. Why was he still wearing pants? For that matter, why was I still wearing pants?
"Don't worry," Aaron said, undoing my fly. "I'll give you exactly what you want."
"Yeah?" I smiled at him because I had no doubt that he would.
"Promise." Aaron leaned in so close his breath whispered across the skin of my ear. "As long as you're with me, you'll never want for anything. I'll take good care of you. Youandour sons."
It wasn't the first time an alpha promised me the world, but when Aaron did it, I actually believed him.
The thought, the degree to which I was trusting Aaron should have scared me, but it didn't. No, I felt safe with him, and wasn't that the best feeling in the world?
Placing a kiss on his lips, I drew him down on top of me.
I'll admit, I felt a little bit awkward at first, when his lips strayed from mine to trace one of the scars on my arms instead, but if Aaron noticed the tension in my body, he didn't let it deter him.
Instead he just kept on licking wet trails all over my body until I forgot about feeling weird, my mind growing hazy with endorphins.
"You like that?" Aaron looked up with a grin from where he had settled between my legs. He dipped his head to kiss the inside of my thigh and I shuddered.
"I'd like it even better if you moved a little bit to the right," I said honestly.
"You mean here?" He proceeded to lick my right thigh.
"Too far right."
Aaron chuckled—because he knew *exactly* what I meant—and the warm air of his breath so close to my cock made me squirm.
"Aaron..." I groaned, only a little bit exasperated.
"Okay. I won't torture you." And with that, he ran the tip of his tongue along my hard flesh. A breathy moan escaped me, but I wasn't ashamed. It just felt too good. All of it. Being here with Aaron, having him touch me like this, feeling his tongue on my most sensitive parts...
I didn't think life could get any better—until he sucked me in.
Holy hell.
I nearly cursed at the sensation of his lips enveloping my cock. No one had ever done this for me before. Certainly not Howard. Alphas were to be serviced. They didn't exist to serve. That was what omegas were for.
I moaned my partner's name, tangling my fingers in his hair. He looked up at me, but he didn't remove his mouth from my cock to speak, and I was eternally grateful for that. The moment our eyes met and I saw the desire in his, a wave of need, stronger than anything I'd ever felt before, rolled over me and took every bit of hesitation I might have felt away with it. I bucked my hips, thrusting into Aaron's mouth, and he let it happen, encouraged me even by relaxing his throat.
Nothing I ever did with my ex had ever felt this good.
I was mildly afraid of hurting Aaron by going too fast or too deep, but he simply dug his fingers into my thighs and made a tight seal around my cock with his lips. A high, keening sound fell from my lips when he stopped me from moving and startedsucking.
Strings of syllables and maybe even words left my mouth but I had no idea what I was saying, or if any of it made any sense at all. It didn't matter. All that mattered was that mind-blowing sensation of bliss that took over my body, starting from my cock.
"Aaron...!" I heard myself say. "I... I'm gonna..."
