“Huh?”
I looked round at Chris, wondering whether hehadtold everyone…
“Word is he got mugged. Tough break. Is he ok?”
“He’s doing fine,” I said, and hid my smile in my collar as I yanked my jersey over my head. In fact, Waggoner was doing more thanfine. He’d had two spectacular orgasms that morning and had assured me, with sleepy, adorkable sincerity, that two orgasms in one morning was good going for a man of his age.
I had kissed him sweetly and told him I’d be back later with dinner and had decided there and then to break that record one day soon. I reckoned I could get my omega to come at least three times in one morning, especially if I knotted him. I was so looking forward to doing that again.
“Any news on the mugger?” Chris asked.
Sean’s face scrunched up in a frown. “I don’t like this mugger,” he said, as though he was alone in that and wanted to change all our minds.
Chris and I exchanged a look. “Yeah? Imagine that,” said Chris.
“Why not?” I asked.
“He’s targeting omegas. I think that’s bad. He should try mugging someone his own size, like me. That would be fair.”
I snorted. “Firstly, nobody is your size, so it’s not fair. Secondly, I don’t think being fair is what he’s going for. He’s targeting people he thinks are weak so he can take what he wants. That’s what muggers do.”
“I think it’s cowardly,” said Sean.
I couldn’t disagree.
And the fact that my stomach clenched again at the thought of that alpha standing over Waggoner, raising their boot to kick him, made me sure I’d never forgive whoever it was.
“I hope they’re caught soon.”
“Yeah, it’s a real ball-ache having to go and walk Perdi to her classes,” said Sean. Perdi was his omega girlfriend and, despite what Sean said about it, I knew he’d been the one to insist she wait for him and not walk around alone.
I grunted. I’d have to try telling Waggoner the same thing when he came back to work – I didn’t want him walking around alone, either. Especially after dark. I wondered if he’d go for it. He was such an interesting clash of personality – smart and independent, and yet submissive and vulnerable. I’d been worried that I wouldn’t like him showing his vulnerability, since I’d always seen him so in control while he was at work, embodying the persona of professional, professor and scientist, and that’s what had turned me on. I’d been wrong. The way he looked up at me and let me care for him and let me lead him in bed, that turned me on, too, in a different way. It was a softer feeling but just as intense.
Still, I wasn’t sure whether Waggoner would go for not being able to walk around his own place of work without an alpha escort. To be fair, it didn’t need to be me or even another alpha – anyone would do, since the mugger had only targeted lone omegas before.
Chris snapped his fingers in front of my face. “Hey, Liam, stop growling.”
“What?”
“You’re growling.”
“Sorry, man. Just thinking about my omega.”
Sean started in surprise. “You got yourself an omega? Who’d you get?”
“You make that sound like I was choosing him from a shelf the way I choose my lunch.”
Sean blinked at me. “So who is it? Did you finally move on from your professor? Bad timing, man, he could use an alpha to walk him round campus right now.”
I laughed at the way Sean’s mind worked. “Don’t worry, Waggoner’s taking a few days off to recover. He’s not even at work today.”
A couple of the others had gathered round to listen and one asked, “So who’s your omega? Anyone we know?”
I felt my chest puff out with pride as I answered. I felt as though I were crowing. “It’s Professor Waggoner. He’s my omega.”
“Holy shit!”
“No way!”
