“I’ll see you soon,” Hades said. “And I’ll reward you well. You can hold me—or my cock—to it.”
Aaren broke into a smile. “I’ll be so good for you.”
Fuck. How the hell was Hades going to get anything done, when Aaren kept being so sweet for him? He palmed his bulge. Aaren moaned.
Since Aaren wasn’t going to close the door, Hades leaned over and shut it himself. “I’m putting you on hands-free so I can drive.”
“You can go hands-free for a different reason next time,” Aaren blurted. Then he promptly blushed.
Hades laughed. He watched Aaren in his rearview mirror as he pulled away; Aaren wasn’t making any move to wander home. “I’ll be back in twenty. Think you can wait that long for me?”
“My hole can’t.”
Hades huffed. “What am I going to do with you?”
“Wear me. I think I’ll fit very well.”
“Didn’t you say I’m too big to fit?”
“I’ll make it fit!”
“Good boy,” Hades purred. “You’ll definitely be getting a big,bigreward tonight.”
Aaren moaned. “Okay. I’m—I’m going in.”
Hades gripped his steering wheel. He followed the sound of Aaren’s footsteps and the jangle of keys, barely remembering where he was driving. Aaren’s front door opened and shut.
For five blissful seconds, there was quiet.
There came a low growl. “You’re finally back, you bitch. Where the hell did you put my remote? Did you hide it again? I can’t fucking find it. Do you know how much time I wasted looking for it because you couldn’t fucking put it back in the right place?”
Hades stepped hard on the brakes, his instincts snarling.What the fuck?
Through the phone, Hades heard Aaren suck in a loud breath. “Isn’t it on the couch?”
“No. Do you see anything on the couch, huh? Are you blind?” The voice was closer now.
Hades had to pull over and force himself to calm down. Who the hell spoke to their omega like that?
Why the hell had he left Aaren with that asshole?
Aaren sighed and stomped through the house, his footsteps loud. There was some rustling, and he spoke again. “See! It was on the floor under the couch! Maybe you kicked it off without even noticing, when you were sleeping.”
Ballus scoffed. “Don’t be an idiot. I don’t do that kind of crap. Only omegas are that stupid.”
Aaren sighed louder and muttered, “Yeah, because you’re so self-aware.” More loudly, “Don’t you have to go to work?”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m going now that you’ve finally found what you lost,” Ballus sneered. “I should’ve known you weren’t just fat and stupid, you’re also a complete waste of my time. Pathetic little slut.”
Aaren hissed.
Hades could turn back right now. He wasn’t even two blocks away. He could turn back and walk through that door, and slam his fist into Ballus’ face.
Multiple times.
“Yeah, fine, just go,” Aaren muttered. “Like any other omega would stick around with you.”
Hades made himself breathe. He had promised Aaren that hewould not step in.As long as Ballus hadn’t laid a finger on Aaren, he couldn’t break that promise.
