Page 11 of How to Lose an Omega in Twelve Days
And why shouldn’t I? We’d never see each other again. Humans didn’t make good mates, but they were fine for a holiday fling.
Of course, the fact he had been hired by my father was a bit of a problem. Or was it? I almost laughed out loud. Oh, boy would my father lose it if I hooked up with his spy. It probably hadn’t even crossed his mind; shifters and humans rarely had chemistry. It would serve him right for having someone spy on me.
Not that I wanted Theo caught in the middle. Then again… he could spy all he liked and still fool around with me. Maybe he’d even feel guilty about it and confess. Hm. Hook up with a great guy and a way to get back at my dad. About to have my gingerbread and eat it too.
Before I could talk myself out of it, I grabbed the reins attached to his mask and pulled him toward me. Theo’s eyes widened in surprise. I hesitated. Then he grinned and leaned in the rest of the way.
Chapter Five
Theo
Shaun’s lips were soft, yet firm against mine. The reins looked so silly when I first put the mask on, but they tightened against the back of my neck as Shaun drew me closer and the sensation stirred something in me. Must have been a reindeer thing. I threw my arms around him and kissed him harder. The fur on his mask brushed gently along my cheek, Our eyes opened at the same time and just for an instant I could swear I was actually gazing into the eyes of a snow leopard.
I shouldnothave been doing this. Santa wanted me to give this guy some Christmas spirit, not… well, not my Yule Log.
Of course, Santa hadn’t said I couldn’t have sex, had he? And who knows, when it comes to Santa. Maybe he had known this would happen. Who was I to argue?
Shaun bit his lower lip nervously and cleared his throat. I gently lifted his mask, giving him time to pull away. He just watched me with eyes that looked like ice, yet held a compelling warmth. He reached up slowly. I closed my eyes as I felt the mask slide off. Before I could open them again, his lips had pressed back against mine.
I tossed his mask onto the nearby counter, grabbed him by the hips and kissed him back hard. He moaned softly into my mouth and I groaned in response. Before I knew what I was doing, I had pressed my tongue against his lips. He opened his mouth and I thrust my tongue inside. He tasted like the hot cocoa we had been drinking during the dance, with a hint of something else, like spices and winter. It was like kissing the cool air just before it snowed.
His hand twisted in my hair and I kissed him harder.
We started moving as one; our tongues fought, our hands roved, and our legs took us step by stumbling step across theroom until our knees bumped into the bed. We tumbled down and rolled until Shaun was straddling me. His erection pressed into my thigh and I flexed my leg, rubbing up against his. He gasped into my mouth at the friction and I felt my own dick straining against my pants.
The kiss went on, faster, almost desperate, as if this was our only night. Maybe it was. Maybe tomorrow the spell would break and I’d realize doing this with a human who couldn’t cross into the North Pole was really, really stupid. But then Shaun adjusted his angle and his thigh rubbed down over my dick and I told my internal monologue to shove it.
I reached up and started fumbling at the buttons on his shirt. Shaun bit into my lip, hard. I gasped. He leaned back and grinned mischievously at me, before yanking his shirt open. Buttons popped off and bounced away, but I was too mesmerized by his smooth, muscular chest to care. He pulled his shirt off and then started on his pants. I watched his muscles ripple in an almost feline way. Belatedly, I realized I was fully dressed. I rushed to catch up.
My pants fell down one ankle and I kicked them away. The instant I was fully naked, Shaun pounced. Everywhere our skin touched felt electric. His hands ran across my body, leaving goosebumps behind them. We started kissing again and I rolled. He moved with me and I ended up on top. I reached down between us and wrapped my hand around his cock. He arched up with a sexy moan, followed by a sound that reminded me of purring. I started pumping slowly. Shaun whimpered and thrust into my hand.
“I’m an…” I stopped. I was about to tell him I was an alpha, but reminded myself a human wouldn’t understand that.
“Huh?” he asked, blinking up at me.
Instead of replying, I tickled my way down his thigh and ran a finger along his balls, then around behind them. He shuddered as I stroked until my finger was just outside his hole.
“You wanna…” I breathed, pressing my finger gently against him.
“Yes,” he gasped.
