“I... uh... feel safer with you here. Please stay.”

Blake gave me a sweet smile. “I’d be happy to.”

We talked about inconsequential things until they finished their drinks. I could hardly keep my head up. Sleep kept tugging at me.

“Come on, you,” Blake said as he stood and reached out for my hand. He pulled me up and wrapped me in his arms. “Show me where I’m sleeping and where to get blankets for Deke, and you can get some much needed rest.”

I grumbled against his chest and didn’t move. It was much too cozy being surrounded by his bitter chocolate scent. He tipped my chin up so we could look into each other’s eyes. “Bed soon, but we need to know where to go.”

“Share my room with me,” I suggested. “Deke can have the spare room. There are fresh sheets in the storage compartment under the bed.” I rested my head on Blake’s chest, turning my face towards Deke. “The bedrooms are opposite each other. Both bedrooms have an ensuite.”

“Thank you, my mate. Deke, is that okay for you?”

“I was prepared to sleep in the truck or that couch, so a bed is better than okay. Thank you Alpha Mate.”

Heat rose and tears prickled at being called my official title. It slid so naturally off Deke’s tongue and his expression was open, completely unguarded compared to when we first met at the door. I hoped to earn the man’s respect, not to just be given it because of the title.

I showed Deke where everything was, with Blake glued to my side. He kept a hand on my back as if ready to catch me if I fell. It was kind of adorable. We cleaned up together in my bathroom, though it was a tight squeeze. While the house had two bedrooms, I really believed that it was only for one person and occasional overnight guests.

There was a moment where it was a little uncomfortable. Blake seemed happy enough to strip down in front of me, and as he unveiled a well-defined torso and muscular arms, I could understand why. Next to him, I felt scrawny.

He must have seen my hesitation, because he rounded the bed to pull me into a hug. “Can I help? I want to see that beautiful body of yours. You have no idea how difficult it is to keep myself under control around you.” I felt the evidence of his arousal against me and smiled. I stepped back and reached for the hem of my shirt, pulling it off and tossing it on the floor. His breath hitched and his briefs tented further as his eyes roamed my form. “I need more skin.” The tie on my sweats gave me a little difficulty, but they soon hit the floor, too. “Can I kiss you?” His voice came out more gravelly than usual.

“Yes,” I whispered.

He cut the space between us and tilted my chin to bring our lips together. This was nothing like our first kiss. This was a gentle exploration of my mouth with his tongue. I pressed myself against him, trying to take the kiss deeper, a sudden urgency building within me.

I pulled back and got onto the bed, shuffling up onto the pillows before beckoning for him. “One sec,” he dashed to his bag and fished something out and put it on the closed bedroom door. “Silence ward,” Blake explained as he returned to the foot of the bed. He stood and stared at me. “You’re so beautiful. I can’t believe you’re mine.”

I made a scoffing sound. “No. I’m proud to call you mine, Kade. Every part of me is yours already. Ever since I met you, I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind.” All I could see was the sincerity in his eyes. My wolf stirred again, shaking me into action. It seemed to be aware of Blake’s presence and wanted to encourage me to be with him.

“I hardly know you, but already you make me so safe. I feel so cared for around you. All I could think of today was how well you looked after me in my heat. Then it made me jealous.” I finally admitted.

“Jealous? Why?” He crawled up the bed and sat by my feet, resting his hands on my raised knees. His touch was instantly soothing.

“Because I thought of all the other omegas who you’ve taken through their heats and how they must still want to be with you. They can give you things I can’t.” My head lowered, unable to meet his eyes. I watched him rub small circles around my knee.

“Sweetheart? There are no others. I haven’t been with anyone before you.”

My head snapped up. “Seriously?”

Blake blushed furiously from the top of his head to the middle of his chest. “Um, yeah,” he admitted shyly. “I’d never lie to you.”

“Wow! I... uh... wow! Where’d you learn all that?” I couldn’t quite comprehend his skills in the bedroom. He’d done far better than my exes, and some, were quite experienced. The bitter jealousy over who he’d practiced with fizzled away to nothing.

“Would you believe me when I said porn?” He rubbed the back of his neck, the red covering his skin getting deeper.

I laughed, but really I was impressed. “Must have been some great porn.” Then I realized he had been in Heatwave and my stomach lurched. “So Heatwave?”

He studied my face and weighed his words. “My brothers were sick of me mooning after you, actually. Even though I couldn’t scent you properly, there was something about those gorgeous golden eyes of yours.” His words were bold, and I assumed his wolf was giving him the extra courage. My heart skipped at how sincere he sounded. I couldn’t doubt he was telling me the truth. “They wanted me to finally lose my virginity and put my crush behind me. Then, as I watched an omega with two betas, I found traces of your scent and I was done for. No other omega could ever compare.”

I lurched forward then, desperate for his lips on mine. Our kiss was frantic and my hands roamed his shoulders and down his chest, running back over his shoulders again to pull him closer. I groaned at the heat of his skin against mine. The feeling of home, of rightness, rose in me. I dropped back against the pillow, opening my legs and pulling him against me.

We made out for a while until I needed more friction than just his cloth covered dick against me. “Blake, please!” I begged.

“What do you need, sweetheart?”

“You. I need you inside me.”
