“You have my word. I won’t even mention it or glare at anyone until I have the go ahead.”
Ren’s laughter is louder now. “Thank you, Coach. Thanks for taking my call.”
“Always, Ren.”
The call ends, and I’m left sitting on my couch, staring at nothing while I think about our conversation. I’d like to call Dasan and talk to him about it, but he’s with his friends.
So instead, I send him a text, and after reading it over a few times, adjusting it where I need to, I hit send.
Me
I know it’s my job to earn your pride, Alpha, but I want you to know that I’m so very proud of you.
It’s not long before Dasan responds.
Alpha DU
Thank you, sweetheart, but what have I done to earn your praise?
Me
Ren called to talk to me about the diversity inclusion program that he’s working on with your help. It’s important, and I’m so proud of you for being involved in it.
I don’t receive a text back for several minutes. I’m about to open my journaling app again when he calls me instead. My breath catches because I always feel short of breath when I’m about to see Dasan or hear his voice.
“Hello, Alpha,” I greet when I answer.
“Hello, my omega. Tell me about this call. I was unaware that Ren was going to talk to you about it.”
“Are you angry?”
“Not even a little bit.”
“He just told me about what you’re trying to do and asked if I’d support you when he took it to management and the league. I know that you are who you are and you’re very proud of being who you are, but I think it’s very important that other people like you and Ren can see more readily that you’re as able, important, and skilled as any man. You deserve to be here.”
“Thank you, darling,” he says, voice quiet. “I…That means a lot to hear.”
“You’re welcome, Alpha.”
“Thank you for supporting us.”
I don’t think I offered that I agreed, but I’m glad he knows me well enough to know that I will do anything to support them. Him, specifically, but also everyone who needs more support to fight the hate and prejudices still running rampant in the world.
“You’re welcome. You didn’t need to call me. Are you having fun with your friends?”
“I wanted to hear your voice. I keep touching my chest, but you’re not here to see it.”
I grin and let my hand fall from where it was just resting on my neck as if ringing where a collar would be. “I understand that.”
“I’m having a good time with my friends. I’ll be over in a few hours. Why don’t you walk around naked for me until I get there?”
Shivers run down my spine. “Yes, Alpha.”
“Is your collar on?”
As if his words made the collar appear around the base of my dick, I’m suddenly aware that it’s there. “Yes, Alpha. Always.”
“Good boy. Strip down for me. I’ll be there in a bit.”
