I settled down on the couch with Waggoner beside me and tried to sit as close as I could without making it obvious that I was desperate for his touch. We both laughed at the opening scene and just kept laughing all the way through, pointing things out to each other.
“This is my favourite alien ever,” I said.
“It’s a beach ball.”
“Not just a beach ball. A beach ballwith feet.”
Waggoner laughed up at me and the joy radiating out of his face made my chest contract. He was gorgeous. I was the luckiest SOB I knew.
Chapter 10: Waggoner
Liam hadn’t been kidding when he’d said he ordered groceries. They arrived just before lunchtime and he pretended he’d planned it exactly that way. I found myself smiling as he declared, “It was all part of my master plan, Waggoner. I arranged the whole thing to be perfectly timed.”
“Uh huh? All part of your careful planning, was it? Not luck at all?”
“Nope, not luck at all. Just brilliance.”
The way he waggled his eyebrows at me made me laugh. I couldn’t remember the last time someone had made me feel so light and carefree. Liam was fast becoming one of my favourite people. Not just his looks but… him.
He started opening cupboards to put things away and I stepped forward. “Let me help.”
“No, you go and sit down.”
“I know where everything goes.”
“You also have a sprained wrist. Just tell me where to put things.”
He ushered me over to the chair and I sat down, arguing with myself about whether I should let this alpha tell me what to do in my own home. I wanted to resist, to take charge and remind him that he wasn’t in authority here. And yet… I didn’t. I didn’t even really feel the need to do it. Liam wasn’t giving me the same feeling of being pushed aside that I got from a lot of other people, people who thought the omegas should sit down and take it easy because they couldn’t cope. No, with Liam I got the feeling of equality. He wasn’t pushing me aside, he was taking care of me.
As if to prove my point, he held up two tins and asked, “Where do you want these?”
I directed him and he just followed my instructions. I had to admit, I was a little surprised that he would be so easy going. And that he knew his way around my cupboards so well. Not a euphemism.
He’d obviously seen where everything was kept that morning.
“So what do you fancy for lunch?” he asked and it took my brain a moment to process his words. He was bending over to put items on the bottom shelf and I had the perfect opportunity to admire his ass. It was glorious. Two perfect globes of muscle on a fit young body.
“I beg your pardon?”
“Lunch? What do you want?”
“Uh, whatever- whatever you have.”
He stood up and turned round to grin at me. I wondered whether he knew I’d been admiring his body.
“I’ll make it now, then. Are you hungry?”
I nodded. I would basically eat anything this man put in front of me.
“Cool. Let me just finish here.”
He put the last few items away and my eyes tracked his movement. His biceps were strong and toned and I got a shimmery feeling in my stomach watching them. They would feel so good wrapped around me.
Liam also stretched up to put the last item on the highest shelf and my eyes nearly bulged out of my head at the sight. I’d almost got used to his chest – almost – but the sight of those abs as he stretched and the way his jeans rode ever so slightly down and revealed a tiny strip of his abdomen that had a little patch of hair on it, made warmth pool in my belly. He might shave his chest but he had a little dark patch of pubes and my brain was going to use that image to turn me on me for the rest of my life.
I swallowed, realising too late that I was still sitting there in just my sleep pants and a t-shirt. My cock was getting hard and there would be no hiding it.
I stood suddenly.
