He nodded. “Brent?”

I returned the nod, finished standing, and rounded the table. Then I pulled my omega into my arms for the first time and breathed in the scent that I’d been desperate to find for almost two weeks.

“Finally…” he breathed.

I buried my nose in his head. “How long?”

His arms tightened around my waist. “Two weeks,” he replied.

“The beach?”

A pause, then he nodded into my chest. “I… I looked for you. But there were so many people, and I couldn’t track your scent.”

“I smelled you when I was leaving, and I couldn’t find you either. It was right when the morning crowd was going, and the daytime people were arriving. I had no idea if you’d already left or just arrived.”

He took a deep breath. “I’d just arrived when I smelled you. We probably just missed each other as we headed in opposite directions.”

“I’m so sorry. Maybe if I’d stayed a few more minutes…”

He shook his head. “No. Let’s not play that game. We’re here now. I want to focus on that.”

“Ok.”

I held him for far longer than was appropriate in a public place, but I didn’t care. It felt so good to have him in my arms.

“Do we want to pretend to have a meeting?” Adam asked after a moment. “Or do we want to go back to your place?”

“Dylan said you drink plain iced matcha tea?”

“Yeah?”

“I got you one, before… when I just thought we’d have a meeting…”

“They make good matcha here. It would be a shame to let it go to waste.”

“Short meeting it is.”

My body protested as I released him; every inch of me wanting him in my arms again.

We sat, and Adam immediately set one hand on the table. I understood what he wanted and twined my fingers with his.

He was there, my omega. Part of me couldn’t believe it. But it started to sink in as my body switched from the instinct to find him to that to take him home and claim him.

I was mesmerized by the sight of his pink lips against glass as he sipped his tea. His hair begged me to run my fingers through it as light danced among the strands. There was a quiet confidence in his voice when he spoke.

We talked about my teaching, and the different challenges between my high schoolers and the adult students I taught at the community college.

He described how he started working at TechSpeed, and how he’d been in Harris Cove for less than a month. When he talked about his area of focus, SaaS products, I agreed that Dylan had been right to suggest he be the first to talk to my students.

My stunning omega had a passion for apps and how they could be used. He wouldn’t disregard my students’ desires to cling to technology they understood, but would be able to tell them why it was one part of a larger ecosystem.

The level of our drinks got lower as we talked, and my cock got increasingly insistent that it was time to take my mate home.

How beautiful he would be pregnant.

What would it be like to wake up next to him every morning?

Our eyes met, and I could see the same sort of thoughts swirling in his gaze.
