I always say I’m not a sentimental or sensitive person, but deep down, I think I am a little. My chest feels warm and full when I hear Felton’s laughter, knowing that he’s moving into a good place now. He has someone to take care of him and look out for him. Someone who always has his best interest and his heart in mind.
We talk nonsense throughout our shower. The nonsense carries on into the locker room, which entertains those still lingering. I feel in a much better mood when we walk out. Glancing in Coach’s office, I find the lights off. It’s empty. Once I’m in my car, I send him a text.
Me
Are you home?
Omega
Yes, Alpha.
Me
Do you mind some company?
Omega
You can come over any time.
Me
I’m on my way.
I stick my phone on the car charger and head to Shively’s house. Most of the time, I have a plan for when I get there, like what we’re going to do and whether we’re going to try something new.
But my brain is still swimming. It feels murky with no true thoughts present, like a watercolor painting.
The garage is open when I pull into Shively’s driveway. He’s been having me park my vehicle in it to avoid any chance that someone may drive by and see my car sitting in his driveway. While Ithinkmost people would just assume we’re friends hanging out, there’s no need to chance it.
I hit the button to close the doors on my way inside. The house is silent, as it always is. I toe off my shoes and head for the living room, finding Shively on his knees, right where I thought I’d find him.
“Hello, beautiful omega,” I greet, running my fingers through his hair.
Fuck, he looks so damn good on his knees. The way he looks up at me is hot as fuck. There’s no better vision than this.
“Hi, Alpha,” he says, voice once again soft and sweet. There’s no hint of Coach Shively in his tone now. It’s just my omega, Shiv.
For a minute, I continue to run my fingers over his face, along his jaw, his lips, over his eyelids. “Get up, omega.”
Shively immediately gets to his feet. With my hand around his neck, I bring him to me and kiss him for several long seconds. I love the way he tastes. I love how he’s completely pliable under my touch.
“On the couch. On your back.”
He backs away and lies down how I asked him to. I crawl on top of him. Shively is naked, as he always is when he knows I’ll be here. I love the feel of his body under me, entirely exposed. Vulnerable.
I lay my head over his heart and close my eyes. My breaths slow as I breathe him in. It takes several minutes of me lying like this before his fingers come up to slowly move through my hair.
“Are you okay, Alpha?” Shively asks.
“Yeah. I’m good.”
“You were distracted today.”
“We’ll talk about it, but right now, I only want to take comfort in you. Okay?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
I smile, turning my face so I can kiss his skin. “Thank you.”
