“Fine,” he admitted, sounding a bit surprised. “We said we wanted to take it slower, to savor this, but with him going into a rut and now them all living here, I don’t think that’s an option anymore.”
“It’s a little messy,” I admitted.
“Yes, but I have a feeling we’ll figure it out,” He said, placing a kiss on the top of my head.
“How about we go shower off the run and then go have lunch somewhere?” I offered.
“Sure,” he agreed, his smile softening.
His warm hands found mine, our fingers twining together, and that sense of rightness settled in my chest again.
He pulled me down the hallway. His things were already in my room, our scents mixing together. My omega sighed in relief. I think I needed to see this with fresh eyes and let it realign what I’d thought my life would look like.
But right then, I wanted to focus on the mate standing right next to me.
We didn’t talk again until we were standing together under the warm spray of water.
Leon pulled me closer, his lips ghosting over mine. It almost tasted like an apology. He had nothing to be sorry for so I kissed him back, reminding him that I still chose him and we were scent matches.
Our pack would be a bit disconnected, but that didn’t mean we couldn't forge our own connection and keep it strong.
His kiss deepened, tongue teasing across my lips then diving in when I moaned into it. Our bodies were pressed together, the warmth making my omega groan in relief.
The beta was gorgeous. His body was lean and fit, filling out now that he’d been eating properly and building his muscles. His cock was long and thick, pressing into me and I couldn’t take it anymore.
“Leon, I need you,” I finally choked out. This wasn’t about reassurance, it was about us and grounding our relationship how we saw fit.
“Fuck the shower,” Leon growled into the kiss, shutting off the spray. He didn’t bother with any sort of sweet words. Instead, he dried us off quickly and carried me to my bed.
He laid me down, my omega sighing happily with our mixed scents wrapping around us. This was our version of a nest for now. The faint hint of Nikolai wasn’t hurting the situation.
Though, it felt a bit incomplete and that was enough to make me realize as complicated as this all was, that it was also right. They were mine if I could stop trying to run away from reality.
I was just being stubborn. Though, I’d more than earned that right.
Now that I was naked and laid out on the bed, Leon was not in a hurry anymore. He brushed my long, blonde hair aside before placing kisses on my heated skin. His tongue flicked out, teasing one peaked nipple, and then the other. My back arched off the bed, pressing into his mouth and demanding more as my omega writhed below him. My nipples were sensitive and he wasusing that to his advantage, teasing and licking me until slick was dripping from my needy pussy.
“You are so beautiful,” he whispered reverently against my skin as he trailed kisses from my breasts down to my navel, and then moving lower. My legs parted for him, making room, and he didn’t hesitate for his mouth to latch on to my dripping pussy.
Nik had been hurried and desperate, but Leon was savoring me. He slowly swirled his tongue through my slick, circling my clit and pushing into my core. There was no rhythm or trying to drag orgasms out of me, he wanted to make sure I felt incredible first.
“Relax for me, Aries. Let me take care of you,” he urged in that sexy, husky voice of his. He put pressure on my clit as his tongue pushed into me, fucking me on his tongue and teasing me until I fell apart for him.
The orgasm was slow and languid, pleasure unfurling through me before I was shaking. My eyes rolled back as I gave into it, riding the wave and putting all my trust in this beta.
For a man who had no experience on this side of sex, he was incredible with his tongue and hands.
I loved that he wasn’t experienced, that this sweet beta and I could learn what we enjoyed together. He followed every cue and learned what I needed, and I wanted to do the same with him.
I’ve had sex before, but it was more of a necessity, not an exploration
With Leon, I wanted to give him as much pleasure as he drew out of me.
“Leon, I need you inside of me,” I begged, pulling his face away from my pussy. His chin and lips were coated in slick, glistening on his smile. His blue eyes were hooded and he looked almost dazed as he moved to his knees.
We both needed this moment of reassurance. To establish our own pack before it shifted and changed. I needed him toknow that I wanted him just as much as I wanted Nikolai, and someday the others.
Leon was my rock. He was the first one to pull me out of this monotonous haze that I’d been living in. I was going through the actions and I did have friends and the occasional fun night out, but the rest was simply existing.
