Jett rolled his eyes. If he were mine, I’d never tolerate that. But he wasn’t mine and I deserved it. He knew as well as I did that he shouldn’t be here.
“I know. I tried to stay away. I just couldn’t.”
“J—omega.” I couldn’t say his name. It would be too hard to deny him again if I did. I ignored his wince. “I already gave you my answer. You need to leave.”
Jett took a small step forward. He still seemed a little hesitant, with his arms crossed and shoulders hunched, but there was determination in his eyes.
“Just one night. Give me one night and if you want to walk away after that, I’ll let you go.”
I narrowed my eyes at this man. He was so young and yet so fearless. That didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid. No, it was clear that he was. He just didn’t let that stop him, unlike me, who was a coward through and through. And the government and so many alphas thought omegas weren’t capable of caring for themselves or knowing what they wanted? Submissive didn’t mean incapable, and this omega in front of me was proof of that.
He was waiting for an answer, but I had none to give. I grabbed my glass only to realize it was empty. Gods. I forced myself to meet Jett’s eyes.
“It’s a bad idea, boy. It won’t change anything, and you’ll only be hurt.”
Jett tilted his chin up at me in defiance. “It’s a risk I’m willing to take. I’d much rather have this one night with you and nothing else than spend my whole life wondering.” Jett’s tongue peeked out from between his teeth and his eyes shifted like he was embarrassed. “You don’t have to worry about anything. I’m not in heat yet, and Orion got me birth control as soon as he was able. There will be no unwanted consequences, just a night to see if we really belong together. I won’t push you after that, I swear, alpha. You tell me to leave, I will, and you’ll never hear from me again.”
The truth rang clear in his tone. He meant what he said. It was hard to concentrate on anything after he called me alpha. If my resolve wasn’t already faltering, then that would have done the trick.
I stood up but kept the desk between us. I needed that barrier, otherwise I wouldn’t trust myself to stay in control.
“Be sure, omega. I won’t hold back. You’ll see what it is you’re truly asking for. What happened in the bathroom will be a cakewalk. Do you truly think you can handle it?”
Jett shivered and I was hit by a wave of lust coming from him. There was another scent, something sweeter. Slick. Goddess, was he leaking slick?
“I can handle it, alpha. Whatever you give me, I promise you I’ll be begging for more.”
I quickly adjusted myself before taking one slow step away from the desk and toward him.
“You say that now—” There was no way he’d be saying it later, but I promised myself no matter what, I’d stay in control enough to stop if he asked. Goddess, please let me stay in control.
A moment of clarity flashed through Jett’s eyes. “Is that what you’re afraid of? That you’re too much for me? Is that why you won’t even try this?”
My gaze hardened and I took a few more steps. Jett didn’t move and his eyes never left mine. “I know I’m too much for you. But no, that’s not truly it. There’s more to it than you know.”
“Tell me? Maybe we could figure it out to—”
He didn’t finish his sentence because my hand was wrapped around his throat.
“No.” I squeezed, causing him to whimper. “There is no we. There is no problem we’ll be figuring out together. There will be tonight and only tonight. Then, I will walk away and this whole thing will be over, understand?”
Goddess, the fire in Jett’s eyes right now. If looks could kill, I’d likely be a dead man. It did nothing to lessen the intensity between us. My cock was jutting painfully against my pants, and the fight in Jett was only increasing my lust.
I released my hold just enough so he could speak. “I understand.”
In one move, I pushed him against the door, my hand gripping tightly in his hair. I loved his hair; it was so perfect to grab and pull but also soft and thick, but no. None of that mattered.
I closed all space between us, our bodies flush. Jett parted his lips and fluttered his eyelids, begging for a kiss. I leaned in but bit his lip instead. As he cried out, I used my free hand to lock the door. I wasn’t taking any chances.
“Then by all means, omega, let’s get you naked.”
CHAPTER10
Jett
I was goingto regret this. I knew that. I knew it when I snuck out of my room and came to find Emerson. It wasn’t very hard. My body seemed to know exactly where he was, the ache in my heart easing with every step closer to him. It was a terrifying thought. Would this be what it felt like all the time? That there was a piece of my soul missing and a clear map to reach that piece, but no way to get it? I hoped the fates wouldn’t be so cruel to me. I did everything I could to get Emerson to accept the bond. If he rejected me again after tonight, there was nothing I could do. I could only hope the fates would accept that and allow me some peace.
Emerson’s body ground up against me as his hand slid up my throat and tilted my head. My lips parted, and this time the alpha relented and kissed me like I was silently begging him to.
