He snorted and reached for the keys on the table.
“You’re unlocking me?” I didn’t hide the surprise from my tone.
“I will have another wave, and I’d rather be fucked on the bed next time.”
“That’s fair. To think you threatened to kill me an hour ago.”
“It wasn’t a threat, I just pointed out the possibility. And you still let me cuff you.” He unlocked my right hand and dropped the cuffs to the floor with a loud clatter.
“I wouldn’t mind it that much.”
“What?” He moved on to my left wrist and paused.
“Dying. Here. Today. But I’d regret not catching Snake to bring him to justice.”
“What the fuck?” He punched me in the chest so hard I wheezed.
“Ouch.”
“You’re an alpha. You were born lucky. Why the fuck would you want to die?”
I shrugged. “Nothing to live for, I guess? And I don’t want to die. But if you killed me tonight, it would be with good memories, you know?”
“No. I don’t. Because I don’t have those.” He released a puff of air and sat back on my thighs. “I thought of killing myself. Tried several times, but either my sister found me, or I chickened out. Then, I figured that my best revenge on everyone who used me would be to survive and thrive. I have no solid plan, but becoming aggressive got me here, atleast. And I have to admit, despite this being my worst heat for lasting so long without being serviced, the end result isn’t so bad.” He danced his fingers between my pecs. “If you really let me go after this, maybe I’ll figure something out.”
If not Snake, someone else would capture him. Even bring him back to his sister.Fuck.
“We can look for a secure place for you.” Oh, who was I kidding? Only rich omegas or those who married well were safe.
“Listen, this is not some Stockholm Syndrome shit.” Ole poked my chest with a finger. “Don’t think I’m falling for you, and you’ll solve all my problems.”
“Be my mate.”Oops. Where did that come from?
“Fuck you!” he yelled, sending saliva splattering on my face.
“Why not?”
“You—” A tear rolled down his cheek. “You don’t even mean it.”
“I do.”
He climbed out of the tub, shaking his head. “You’re an asshole.” He stomped off to the bedroom.
I should let him calm down, but what if he collapsed as the next wave came?
With a sigh, I got out, the cool tiles under my feet not enough to soothe me. I entered the room, and he yelped,his hand on the handle of the exit door. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall.
“Why aren’t you stopping me?” His voice was high, his expression angry.
“They locked us in until seven in the morning. Neither of us can leave.”
“Fuck.” He kicked the steel frame, then swore again. “It’s not fair.” He stomped to the bed, eyed it, and grimaced. With a swift move, he pulled the duvet to the floor and plopped on the clean sheets underneath.
“How are you not mated?” He waved a hand to indicate my body. “You’re a tall, hot alpha, and you’re not even caveman stupid.”
I let out a low chuckle at that. “Thanks for the backhanded compliment.”
Ole narrowed his eyes. “Unless you are, and that proposal was just to keep me pliant for the rest of the night.”
