Page 6 of Love At Last

The school dance committee had done their best to transform the gym into a magical wonderland. The bleachers have been retracted to make room for the dance floor, and soft fairy lights strung across the ceiling twinkle down on us.

Large banners featuring the school's colors and the Homecoming theme hang on the walls, and tables draped in white paper tablecloths line the walls on both sides, adorned with fake, flickering candles.

The DJ's booth, placed at the far end, pulses with colorful lights.

Rian and I laugh as we knock against each other, arms in the air and bouncing to the beat of the base. Around us, members of the football team crowd together, their dates flushed and happy. Most had brought cheerleaders to the Homecoming dance, but a few had gone outside of the team, and those dates look stiffer than the rest, excited to be included but unsure if they belong in the group.

More cheers erupt as white smoke creeps along the floor, rising to surround us, and the DJ’s voice blasts over the speakers. “Slow dance coming up next, so grab your dates and keep that arm’s length between you guys! No grinding on the dance floor!”

Laughter rises, and our teammates grab their dates, yanking them close.

The lights dim, and the music slows to a romantic song about love.

Rian turns to me and tugs me against his big body.

Flushing, I glance at our teammates, but no one is paying any attention to us.

Rian’s head dips toward mine, and his low rumble fills my ear. “Relax, Brad, you’re here with me tonight, and no one is going to tell your dad.”

I swallow hard and relax against him. We started dating two months ago, and our team knows, but I haven’t been brave enough to tell my dad yet. My mom left before I was old enough to remember her, and he raised me by himself. When I was old enough, he pushed me to join all the team sports at school, wanting an athlete for a son.

He hadn’t taken my status as an Omega well.

Over the years, he calmed down about it, but I still catch him making remarks about the trouble with Omegas. Like he just blocks that his own son is an Omega from his mind.

Bringing home an Alpha boyfriend just wouldn’t go over well in our house, so I asked Rian to keep it a secret, at least until I can get a scholarship for football to the local university.

Once I’m out of my dad’s house, we can be as open about our relationship as Rian wants.

Soft lips brush my neck, and I shiver in response. We haven’t done more than sneak quick make-out sessions behind the gym and a couple of hand jobs, and we’re both growing impatient with the self-restraint.

Heart pounding, I turn my head at the same time that Rian lifts his, and our mouths meet. At the feel of his chapped lips and the wet warmth of his tongue as it gently sweeps into my mouth, my eyes flutter closed. He tastes like fruit punch and breath mints, which is my new favorite combination.

His hand slips under my suit jacket to cup my waist, and a whimper escapes at the heat of his hand against me, with only the thin barrier of my dress shirt separating us.

A throat clears loudly from next to us, followed by the hard prod of a ruler. “Three foot rule, boys.”

We hastily step back, straightening our arms, and the chaperone nods before she moves on to prod at another couple who are doing far more than kissing.

Rian’s lips twitch, and a giggle escapes me.

As soon as the teacher vanishes from view, he pulls me back in. “Hey, want to get out of here?”

I nod quickly, and he catches my hand, dragging me off the dance floor, then out of the gym.

The bright lights of the hall blind me, and I don’t resist when he presses me up against a set of lockers, his mouth sliding over mine once more. His hands drop to my ass, tugging our hips flush, and another shiver goes through me when at the press of his hard length against mine.

My ass clenches as I imagine him sliding inside me, of finally being with him.

“I love you, Brad,” he whispers against my ear. “I want to be with you so bad right now.”

With a groan, I rock my hips against his. “Me, too.”

His mouth moves to my neck, sucking my racing pulse and sending shivers of pleasure through me. “Your dad’s working the night shift tonight, right?”

Lust clouds my thoughts. “Yeah.”

He catches my earlobe and bites gently. “Which means your house is empty, right?”
