“I want to touch you.”
He shook his head. “Another time. It’s about you now. And we’ll go again. Welcome to being an omega.”
My stomach squirmed, feeling both frightened and confused. I was not sure I was ready for any of this. My need had been met, but I was not planning to give into being an alpha’s mate any time soon.
CHAPTER7
KAI
Billie was snoring. I’d never heard her snore before, and I definitely wouldn’t say anything to her about it because she still had no idea how much I’d been around her before I materialized. Eventually, I’d have to tell her, but I’d cross that bridge later.
For now, she was lying on my chest asleep, and I was content. I didn’t find the sound of her heavy breaths bothersome in the least. It made me happy that she was so deeply asleep and comfortable with me. It gave me hope that she would eventually come around.
With her now being a full omega, my hopes were that things would change for her. There was no going back, and I wasn’t convinced that she realized that. It was why I didn’t want to go further with her. And I really wanted to. Her lips were full and soft, and I wanted to suck on them again. Her body was amazing. Her skin was so smooth, and those curves made me bite my lips in anticipation. Her breasts were large and exquisite, and I wanted to wrap my lips around her nipples again. Then there was her ass. I was waiting for an opportunity to bite it. I could stare at her all day. I could gaze into her eyes all day. Fuck, she was making me weak for her, and she had no idea for how long.
But she needed slow and steady, and she needed it all about her for now. Of course, it wouldn’t be enough to satisfy her. Last night we’d done a lot more after her first couple of orgasms, but nothing would be enough without penetration. She wasn’t exactly in full-on heat, but she was simmering. She’d be turned on by any alpha that passed by now. We had one day left of this vacation, and I was going to have to find a way to get her to stay in the room. I could think of fun ways to accomplish that task. And there was no way I was letting her fly home. I couldn’t imagine she’d fight me on that one.
I heard her take in a deep breath, and then she slowly flexed her body but remained on my chest.
She adjusted on the bed, moving away from my chest. I could see a nervousness in her eyes that made it clear that she was not yet comfortable with her new status. I hoped she hadn’t regretted our night together.
She looked up at me with those almond-shaped eyes, and I think my cold, dead heart actually sped up. I was fascinated with how she affected me. While I knew I wanted another omega in my life, I thought it would be more transactional. We’d be partners, and love wasn’t necessarily needed. I thought no other woman could capture my attention the way Jocelyn had, but Billie had been changing my mind even when she hadn’t known she was doing it. That was the scarier part. It was effortless for her.
“So, we did a thing,” she said in a quiet voice.
“We sure did.”
She side-eyed me. “Don’t start thinking I’m your omega or anything. It was just to scratch an itch.”
I smirked down at her. “Some itch.”
She huffed, resting on her side. “I’m serious. This is all just about sex. You are merely an itch scratcher. If you start getting possessive, I’ll regret this. Nothing has changed. You’re still just some additional backup support to make sure no wayward alphas get the best of me while I decide on what I’m going to do.”
“So, I’m a fuck buddy, of sorts. Got it. And what is it that you will decide to do?”
“I’m going to sign up with my local omega center and then try to live my life as an omega without an alpha.”
I gagged. I didn’t even know how she would survive like that. I wouldn’t say it was impossible, but I’d never known anyone to successfully do it for long. It sounded like agony. Hell, being without an omega was no easy task.
She perched up higher on the bed. “If you never had a psychic tell you that you’d find another omega again, would you want one?”
I gazed down at her, cocking a brow. What had brought that question on? “I’m honestly not sure. Losing Jocelyn was the greatest pain of my life.”
She nodded, considering my words. “What if my dad had summoned you without you knowing about me? What would you have done?”
Shit. This was the point I could lie to her and give her the fairy tale answer that would make me look good. Or I could tell her the truth and risk her pulling away. Lying was easier, but it also meant I had to keep up a façade, and that wasn’t my thing. Mostly because I was too lazy to keep up with my lies. Also, I think she would appreciate the truth more from me.
“As you know, demons hate being summoned. Typically, it’s so some asshole can make us their slaves and do their bidding. Assuming the summoner is strong enough to contain the demon. If I had been summoned by your father without knowing about you, I would have tried to kill him. Your father was a top-level wizard, so I’m not sure I would have succeeded.”
She sat up, moving until she was straddling me. I still had my pants on, but she was still very naked. I could tell she was damp. This conversation couldn’t possibly be turning her on, but if she stayed positioned over my dick like this, I would be.
She crossed her arms over her bare chest, covering her beautiful breasts. I wanted to move her arms, pin them back and wrap my mouth around her nipples until she gasped.
“If he summoned you, with you not having been on the search for an omega, and he told you it was because he was considering you as my alpha, what would you have done?”
What was she really trying to find out here? Did she doubt that I had come for her? I did not like this conversation. I bit my lower lip and pumped my hips up toward her, sending her moving forward. She braced her hands on my chest and gave me an open-mouth stare as I began to whine against her wet opening.
“I would have been intrigued. I may not have thought to find another omega again. Dan was really the one who announced it to us that it was time and sought out the psychic. Do you need another itch scratched, kitty cat? I’m willing and able.”
